Project: Bump your ass off

[Don Juan]

well Lee and I finally finished the new box for my prelude, it fit like a glove and it hits hard as hell, look for both of us at the car show this weekend in the Thump off... Ill let Lee explain the "technical" stuff since he is the brains behind it

[Jet-Lee]

In short, its a horn shaped/flared dual-vented enclosure.

Get a pic of the completed piece in your trunk. Looks sick with those two subs starin' at ya.

[Don Juan]

it does look pretty mean, it will look better when i get the outside finished!

[5point_Slow]

nice one guys, how many DB are you looking to hit?

[Don Juan]

shit bro, i dont know to be honest, since this will be my 1st time i have no clue what to look for, hopefully over 125-130db, im sure i can get more with good tuning, anyone want to hear it??? come by my office and ill show ya B)

[Jet-Lee]

I've never heard a measured system, so I don't know what (for example) 140db's sounds like, to compare to or aim for.

It is significantly louder, though.

It's funny, this design was first drawn up around Dec. 15th and we just finally got it done.

[Don Juan]

hurray for Procrastination!! :roll:

oh and you were getting married, i forgot bout that :sarcasm:

[Tibby]

Looking good! I'm probably doing my custom Audio from Central Customs. (Doing a set up similar to BJ's but not quite...)

What was the desire for this box? SQ, SPL, or a mix?
If SPL,
Why is so small? Is that the biggest that it could be made?
And if this is your first competition, it will be fun. (I haven't been to one in probably 3-4 years.) I sorta miss it.

oh yea bro, the preludes trunk is so damn small that this was the most functional and the best one for my car, and yea it is a mix of both

[ThatVietGuy]

very nice guys. it looks great. :thumbup: good job :yes:

[Jet-Lee]

Good mix of SPL and SQ. You know, for musicality, but still be able to thump really good and be impressive.

We have another box, sitting in his garage, but I f'd up and we couldn't fit it in the car. This was the largest we could make, and still have it removeable without needing to disassemble anything.

Nice! Cant wait to hear it.. err... feel it.

[Don Juan]

[Jet-Lee]

Sweeeet.

[Shado]

well I'm looking around for some custom sub enclosures to fir my DA.for 2 10" subs. maybe ill give u guys a holla about getting one built.:shifty:

[Jet-Lee]

Most definately let us know, man!

[Don Juan]

awwww, how funny, the day that box was finally done in my car, is the day i traded it in for my truck, oh how funny was that

[Maliwho97]

Ha! Did you keep the box? I build a 1.8 cubic foot ported box for my G/F's convertible Mustang that fits perfect and still gives you room for a set of golf clubs. Tuned at 48hz, sounds good and is very responsive. I put a 12" diamond audio D3 dual 2 ohm sub in it wired in parallel to 1 ohm. I have a diamond audio D3800.1 monoblock amplifier powering it. Sounds good!

Sweet, if you guys need advice let me know. I used to build systems for years.

[Tibby]

Not a big fan of carpet box subs, but respect is due where it's due.

Congrats guys, looks good!

Werd, me too. Haha

[Jet-Lee]

Juan, that one's in your garage, with your RF's. It's 3 feet wide, too wide for my trunk. I've still got mine back there, with my two 10's, and your HU.

I've got an SPL idea, though, that I need to draw up and show you.
