I forget what wood glue I use on all my boxes, just some wood glue from hope depot, then I run it on all the seems on the inside, should do some outside too but I'm sure it's fine. It'll sound sick, I'm actually getting ancy now lol.

 

Just out of curiosity does it matter if you use poly-fil or not in a ported box? I've had a few sealed enclosures i bought and stuffed them but this box I built is my first vented. Im waiting on my amp to get here now, gonna finish up the box this afternoon

 

You're not supposed to, it's meant to be for sealed only. I don't remember the exact reasons why not but definitely no with the ported enclosure. You using the ID and fosgate in your sig. for your setup? That's some nice equipment

 

You don't use poly-fill in a ported box. Only in sealed, if the volume of the box is smaller than the sub 'needs.'

 

Thanks, I didnt think so. Acutally got the ID for sale on ebay and selling the amp to my bro. Just got a cvr 12 now and a JL Audio amp. Nothing major but it sounds ok.

 

Here my test fitment pic haha.

 

Nice man, should keep the ID, I'll bet it would sound real clean with the JL, not a huge fan of JL but they are cleaner sounding for what they are.

 

Yeah, well i've been forced to sell most of my audio stuff but i actually got the cvr for nothing. I sold some 10's and got this sub. Selling my RF amp (which i didnt want to really) but thats another story. Now i have to sell the ID 10 and i have a brand new in box cvr 12 to sell as well. I loved the sq of the ID though, the cvr is loud but thats about it

 

Here's the ID, tell your friends to bid on it ebay

 

F my friends, I might bid on it

 

go for it man

 

I know someone selling a pair of ID Max 12's, don't know if that's related to this discussion at all.

 

Nope, just kickin it about ID's. I ordered a new sub and am in the process of finding a new amp, build should progress a little bit on sunday night and monday, going to st. louis for the weekend.

 

what kinda sub ya gettin? my amp is arriving today hopefully

 

Another DD 1508 but it has a white carbon cone, I'll post pics up when I get it

 

cool. Got my JL amp today and installed it, sounds nice. Thumps pretty hard and low. Still gotta mount it on the box and it will be pretty much done.

 

Nice man that's awesome, bet it sounds good.

 

Put a little leveling crossmember in the back and made the ground.

 

Put some Tech Flex and heat shrink on the wiring and ran the power wire under the hood.

 

 

Coming along nicely. Thanks for the money shot of my spare tire cover

 

Thanks man, no problem!

 

 

Just a temp setup til I find the right box tuning I like.

 

Still looking good - what are your plans for the exterior of that box?

 

I'm gonna get some carpet this weekend and put a false wall up to match the trunk, also ordering a grill to cover sub to protect it. Still trying to find an amp since I'm only running 250 watts to it right now and it's just not cutting it at all . I'm also gonna build a downfiring box on sunday and see if I like it better.

 

Nice install man. Bet that thing sounds sweet

 

It sounds clean but it's only getting 300 watts or so, way under what it really needs.

 

What's that orion amp rated at?

 

250@4ohm
500@2ohm
1000@1ohm

All at 12 volts. It's a solid amp and wish it was giving me what I needed for a single 4 ohm sub, I'm still gonna keep it because I used to have an xtr 2400 and sold it, wish I never did.

 

Here's a bad pic of my JL
180@2ohm
110@4ohm
360@4ohm (bridged).....what i'm runnin

 

Nice looking amp man, is that an older one?

 

Actually no, its a new one J2 360.2 model

Thanks

 

Didn't the J2 amps replace the Total Mobile Audio amps?

 

Oh ok cool, was just wondering, I'm not too up to date on JL equipment. Everything else yes, those no

 

To be honest, im not up on JL alot myself. the price was right, and it had the rms power i needed. what kinda amps you lookin at for the dd?

 

From what I understand, TMA is a JL audio company. The J2 amps are sold through JL audio dealers. So really the J2's are simply a TMA amp with a JL Audio badge on em. Mainly made to be affordable but still well built.

 

looking good!

dont think ill ever have a sub bigger then an 8 again, all the bump less the space and weight.

8' subs FTW

 

Thanks man, I totally agree. I just like seeing the looks on people's faces when they see an 8 in the trunk. I will say though that I've had trucks as my last 4 vehicles and getting my first trunk car loud might be a little bit of a hastle.

 

Funny you should mention that, yrs ago my bro. had a jeep grand cherokee with 2 JL 12's that would stand your hair on end. When I had my first box in the trunk of my max I was like wtf? NO where close. At least your seats do fold down, that makes all the diff.

All I have is a small hole where the armrest folds down
