i want to get a deep cycle but everyone tells me it wont do **** but keep my lights for dimming, and that dosent even bother me. it just looks tight having a battery just for your amp, shows your running serious watts

That radio was the worst ever made! I saw almost everyone we sold come back. Stuff would stop working or the buttons would start doing other things. I saw the volume button one time change stations but you were stuck on the same audio level, so all in all I bought one to put in the ride.

I haven’t had time to do anything lately. BUT I just took a week off of work so I can get this **** done, I don’t care what it takes I’m gonna finish. I still got a ton of work too... Finish the door pods, build the box, false floor and re do my dash. Covering everything in suede is last on my agenda cuz I don’t need my audio to look good at first just work. Lol

nice build... do you know how much weight all this is going to add? i know a lot of that second skin is water weight that evaporates when curing.. the dynamat has to weight a lil bit.. my gusstimate would be 170 with the 13w7 and the amps and all and all.. btw do you have a pic of the 13w7 enclosure.. i have a 13w7 with a subzero ported enclosure and it barely fits.. also im thinking of going back to a sealed enclosure.. that powerwedge jl makes hits hard..

All in all I believe its going to be some where around 200lbs of extra weight im adding. so its just like having a dead guy in the trunk.

I have the box done I just need to take some pictures of it and up load them. Its a kerf port box tuned to 22hrz and its 3.35sqft

When we designed it there isnt a peek to the box. The frequency curve on it was flat, so all the notes are supposed to sound the same and 22 hrz is what it came out to be.

its a little big for most ported boxes for the 13w7.. but if his graph has a flat frequency curve im hella impressed. especially because the 13w7 can be a little boomy. pics of the box yet?
