Just finished making my first subwoofer box with the help of my old man...Its just a basic sealed enclosure...32"x15"x15" made out of 3/4" MDF...The carpet on the corners has been touched up lol......Subs are JL13W3V3's...











Getting my 9886 head unit installed this week and then gotta find an amp to power these guys....Looking for a mono block around 700w-800wRMS...

 

i love jl... i would def go for the 750-800 rms.. i have a 13w7 it was such a pain getting the box in the car.. 9886 is also a decent h/u.

 

Not too bad at all nice work

 

looks good, audio clip after final installation?

 

Thanks guys....Ya after I decide on an amp I will post a vid..

 

thats nice dude, wish i knew how to do stuff like that

 

^^ Its really not that hard if you've got some tools....This was my first so it took a little while but happy with how it turned out...

I didnt want to try and make a ported one as my first lol

 

thats gonna slam

 

^^ Im hoping so...Ive never heard these subs before...

 

did you seal the joints

 

good idea. looks nice thou. dont you have that clarion? you can run it at 6ohms bridged until u find a new one

 

Nope ^^ No Clarion for me, must be thinking of someone else...I found an Alpine V12 500w barely used for a decent price though so I might pick that up...

 

Actually, ported ones are not so hard. The hardest part is the math, and tuning he frequency.
I built my own ported box, and it slammmmmmed.

 

^^ Ya I mean Im sure I could do it but just felt more comfortable starting off with something easy...

Anyone know anything about Alpine V12 Amps?? Price for the one Im looking at is $300 barely used....I think its still abit steep...MRD-M500 is the model #....

 

they are nice amps... what impedance are the subs?

 

^^ Subs are 4ohm but bridging them down to 2ohm

 

they are single 4 ohm (or dual 2 either way)?

I would look for a bit more power over the 500w alpine. if i remember correctly those subs are rated at 400-500w rms a piece

 

Single 4ohm - Ya most people usually run 300-600w rms to them per sub....Im gonna look around and see what else I can find thats around 800w...I would like an amp big enough to power 2 10" Type R's if anything happens to these...

Maybe I'll just splurge and get the MRP-M1000...

 

i was sorta waiting but.... I'm going to be selling some refurbished T10001bd amps very soon. probably 250-300 a pop. normally make a good 1500w at 1ohm

 

I just bought the MRP-M1000 because it was on for $349...Getting it and my 9886 hooked up tomorrow...Hopefully they have the right harness for the head unit...

 

new? not bad, infact pretty damn good. nice looking amps imo

 

t10001bd =

 

Ya new...It was normally $529 on for $349....I love when sales come at the right time lol

 

Just got everything hooked up and wow I am real impressed!!! My right ear drum felt like it was melting after a few minutes so Im learning my limits lol...Much louder than I was expecting..Ive already set off a car alarm...

 

haha those must absolutely pound! i had two type r's bridged down to a 2 ohm and i had a powerbass 2000w mono amp 2 ohm stable in my audi a6. those things SLAMMED, but when i got the cobalt, i sold them to my buddy for his cobalt (makes no sense why i didnt keep them i kno) and they are easily 10x louder than the audi simply becuase of the smaller room inside. you can hear it coming blocks away.. dynamat should be a must i can only imagine what your trunk sounds like right now haha

i want a soundclip so i can start researching what system i want in my car. i may just buy a single type r, because i like to have some trunkspace
