My max now has tremendous bass!! My simple system consists of the Bose stuff with 2 12" L7's sealed powered by a Rockford power1500bd. It is crazy powerful. As per some advice from other org member, I decided not to buy a capacitor for now. Im hoping I wont need to get one. Cant wait to break them in. Anyone else running kicker square subs? Oh here are pics....


The bass **** is in a discreet location. See ya at the next meet!! Where my rims??
ps- I did add a d34 yellow top.

 

Looks good.

Wish the installers figured out a better way to hide those wires though

 

FUNNY!!!! All you do is flip the seat up...!! Nah, I'll probably get around to it one day maybe.

 

I have two s12l5's that I bought from a member off the org and those L5's can bang. Have fun.

 

Looks good man. How much did all that run you?

 

Amp $375 off Ebay
subs$390 off Ebay
Wiring kit- $30 Ebay
OEM adapter $45
box $135 Ebay
circuit breaker $40 Ebay
grilles $30

 

Awesome, no legal warranties FTW!

 

Hahaha. The ebay guy made the box with square holes for ya?

 

He' has square and round boxes with the exact specs for the max trunk. I posted about it in another thread. I love the trunk space thats left over with monstrous bass.
I might try a trick I did in my 3rd gen trunk, which is to dye the carpet black so everything will match.

 

It's a good trick....you could also just carpet the trunk liners. That ensures a 100% match.

 

I suppose alot of people buy these enclosure with the fact that they fit the car, but not the sub huh?

 

Check again. They fit.

 

Physically fitting and airspace fitting are two different things.

 

why did they tell you not to buy the capacitor

 

This 2-12” box is partitioned/divided into two chambers.

Airspace is right around 1.07 cu ft per side/chamber..Box total is 2.14 cu ft.

Mounting depth is approx 10". Holes are approx. 11 3/16" by 11 3/16".

¾” MDF. Terminals located on the sides.


THEY ****** FIT...man.

Calm down there buddy. Theres absolutely no need for your attitude and your stay here will be short lived if you continue with it.

Furthermore L7s are actually intended for vented enclosures. I dont see a vent there. Ive also seen on this forum alone...Eclipse,Kicker,Sony,JL as well as others used in the same enclosures. Im guessing your telling me its the exact airspace for all of those right?

 

swowlink tone it down a few notches.



Some people just take it personal instead of lending an ear (or an eye in this case)..............

 

You do understand that different subwoofers require different internal airspace right?

Not to mention that the TYPE of enclosure is not even maximally compatible.

 

djfrestyl is right, as well as Pearl96max. I remember the old L7 I had could go in a box as small as .88 cubic feet. Now it could get loud in that box, just did not sound great in it. Gave up alot of bass extension. Reason I went with a 10" sub, could still go in a relatively small box, and sound nice too. Just being loud does not equate nice sound.

 

Add in sub displacement, and you're going to be well below the specs for most subs. Especially most 12's.

THEY ****** SOUND SHlTTY...man.

 

You know what? They sound good to me and thats about all I care about. It seems like my stay in this forum might be short lived indeed. I have only posted a couple of times and have really met some grade A ***-holes. Just my opinion. Why do you hijack my threads to try to show how smart you think you are. Thats a waste of time to me. If you dont have anything good to say then just dont post. Im bored.

 

Why are you mad? Our comments are correct, you should use them as information that can make you more educated in something you seem to have a passion in.

 

If you cant take constructive criticism, then dont post. You posted a thread in a public forum, did you expect EVERYONE to say Holy Crap thats incredible? If so then Im sorry to let you down.

Im not trying to prove anything to you, Im only telling you the facts. Nothing more, nothing less.

So you think Im an @sshole, join the club, alot of people feel the same way.

 

BTW, I personally think its a nice clean Looking setup. Hope you feel better now.

 

and to think...i almost asked that guy to fab me up a box to fit my trunk. but it looks nice though.

Don, how much those Arc EQ's usually run? (the PEQ 7)

 

I might get upset, but its only cause I dont feel like reading through bs just to get a question answered. I know not everybody is gonna like my flavor so I dont expect them too. All I gotta do is hit the red X. problem solved.

 

It doesn't hurt that you could learn something in the meantime though. We're here to help as much as we are to flame

 

Don......You guys are great!!!!....I remember not so long ago feeling the same way as swowlinc does, but hey, i did take it in stride and learned alot about true SQ and the equipment it takes to get there, Yes everyones opnion and flavor are different but there really is truth to alot of what is being said. If you just wanted someone to stroke your ego and tell you how sick your trunk looks then this truly is not the place to get that. I would highly suggest to those of you who are not looking to expand your knowledge and get some true feedback worth of merrit then i would not post at all....its give and take ...........man!......by the way we all know that to produce proper SQ you need to be running Jl equipment....right Don?.LOL!!.
Your setup looks good though....

Keep Krusin,
Chef

 

Well no hard feelings.

 

Hey I am still licking my wounds from not having MDF rings .
