slick Posted July 30, 2006 Report Posted July 30, 2006 So... the fiberglass box I made was working good, but it just wasn't the box for this sub. So, after talking to Ryan from Ohio, I had one made from him (hopefully he will chime in the next day or two). I finally picked it up yesterday, and had planned on putting it in tonight, but I couldn't wait, so I did it yesterday afternoon. I still need to do a little fine tuning to the amplifier, but wow, this box really helped this sub greatly!! Here's spec's I am copying and pasting from PM's that me and him had. 2.59 before displacement tuned to 36 Hz. Its a 3" Wide port. The amplifier I am currently using is an Alpine MRV-T757. It is rated for about 450w RMS. I haven't actually checked the amplifier output myself yet, but I would assume it is fairly close. Anyhow, onto the pictures. The box is great build quality. 3/4" MDF used for the build. I do recommend him. His website is http://www.basstronics.net/ Quote
slick Posted July 30, 2006 Author Report Posted July 30, 2006 And yes, those are minor scuffs on the front of the JL. Thats the price to pay for getting a sub for basically free. Quote
TheEddie Posted July 31, 2006 Report Posted July 31, 2006 And yes, those are minor scuffs on the front of the JL. Thats the price to pay for getting a sub for basically free. use some black shoe polish or a black permanent marker.. Quote

19Cutlass94 Posted July 31, 2006 Report Posted July 31, 2006 Looks pretty darn good! Good to hear its working out for ya! But something really need to be done to that port IMHO! Quote
97loudcut Posted July 31, 2006 Report Posted July 31, 2006 looks good...i dont know if you remeber Kennsington but how does that sub compare to mine loud wise? Quote
slick Posted July 31, 2006 Author Report Posted July 31, 2006 I kinda like the port white, it matches my car. As for matching yours, I'm not sure, I've heard soo many stereo's I cannot remember loudness of every single one. The sub is a bit underpowered right now, so it is definately not playing to it's full potential. Quote
slick Posted July 31, 2006 Author Report Posted July 31, 2006 thats sweet man. is it heavy? LOL, is it heavy!! HAHAHA, yes very. The box alone weighs about 60 lbs, that sub weighs another ATLEAST 30 lbs, if not more. Talk about fun lifting that into my trunk, and trying to wire everything at the same time. Quote
slick Posted July 31, 2006 Author Report Posted July 31, 2006 Loudcut, now that I think about it, I think ours were about the same at Kensington. With this new box, mine should be louder at different frequencies than yours now. Like I said, I need a bigger and better amp. Quote

Talk about fun lifting that into my trunk, and trying to wire everything at the same time. whoops i forgot to have a after my last post. so what, you just need front lowering springs now? Quote

Something like that. Actually, it didn't really affect the back's ride height to awful much actually. Quote
Ryan from Ohio Posted August 2, 2006 Report Posted August 2, 2006 5.5 dB gain total Nuff said. Im working on a new bock for a fellow @ bstuff. This box will have 10.7 dB gain @ resonate frequency Quote

rudefyet Posted August 2, 2006 Report Posted August 2, 2006 I could use a new box...anyone wanna drive to Columbus and make a nice one for my truck? Quote
slick Posted August 2, 2006 Author Report Posted August 2, 2006 I could use a new box...anyone wanna drive to Columbus and make a nice one for my truck? If you give Ryan the dimensions to work with, he will build you box for your sub. Visit http://www.basstronics.com Quote
Euro Posted August 3, 2006 Report Posted August 3, 2006 I could use a new box...anyone wanna drive to Columbus and make a nice one for my truck? i have an extra box...but seriously it would probably take up 3/4 of your interior lol Quote
Ryan from Ohio Posted August 3, 2006 Report Posted August 3, 2006 4 12" Dubs subs...lol Alright subs I guess, even for ABarf. SOunds like eventually it will get changed out to Incriminator subs Quote
slick Posted August 4, 2006 Author Report Posted August 4, 2006 4 12" Dubs subs...lol Alright subs I guess, even for ABarf. SOunds like eventually it will get changed out to Incriminator subs Oh, so your building a box for him then?? I'm really suprised actually. I thought he would be one to build his own box. The Incriminator's will be a much better choice than the Dubs. Quote
Ryan from Ohio Posted August 5, 2006 Report Posted August 5, 2006 No just doing a design for him. I guess thats even up in the air right now since hes talking about using like 4 different woofs... Quote
