lol wow i wish you guys could see my system lmao ugly as hell but she hits i have 1 12 inch mtx thunder 6000 sub and 1 12inch in a pioneer box feeding from a lightning audio 900 watt 4 channel amp and a phoenix gold amp also my stock 10 is still in it to. It hits but its ugly as sin but its just for now when xmas comes im getting 2 12inch kenwood carbon series 12s and a ported box and the perfect complemented amp. but for now ugly it is lmao.

 

Ha man I think were tied. I have one of my MTX 7500's in a black MDF box, then my MTX 421d amp. Sub is sitting in the trunk, all my wires are hid under the trunk carpet and my amp is held in the trunk floor on the right side of the sub. Now for the kicker, when I got my car, it had no trunk floor cover, no spare tire and no jack. So I made a floor outta thin board and it's been in there so long that its bowed. Gotta actually finish my trunk sometime...

 

haha ^^ those sound like some ghetto set ups but do they at least sound decent?

 

bump

 

urgh i hate retarded people

 

My Sq is the Eq Knob... i think the stock system is pretty good and im really into music

anyone agree?

 

The stock system is pretty good for a factory stereo. But it just doesn't cut it if your used to high powered after-market stereos.

Don't be so hard on yourself!

 

you'd be amazed at what a headunit can do

 

were talking sound quality in here, right?

 

lol ya sorta went a lil off topic here.... hey ss supercharged have u ever herd of or seen a sealed box in a ported box? Im seriously thinking about it

 

a sealed box inside a ported box. never thought of that. sounds interesting

 

You asking me? (I know there is someone on here that is "ss supercharged") I've heard of the sealed in a ported, most of the time it's called Bandpass, unless there is a different design your thinking of? Bandpass is a limited output setup though, very narrow range of great output.

 

no not a bandpass an actual box that can be converted from sealed to ported. See im going to have a box thats ported thru the rear deck. and because of the extreme spl even the XXX's will make (but im having a comp only setup as well) i like to brace the box heavily. So my idea is find out how much space is required for a sealed box and where that is make a ring brace. But have a removable plexi or mdf piece attached. So with the plexi its a sealed box without its a ported (mind u ports are behind this area)

Only problems im seeing is im going to have to have 2 removable parts of the box (the first the change from sealed to ported and the second to remove the first piece. And im concerned with being able to get the first piece thru the second

 

i dont like the look of the head unit either i like the stock look inside

 

So you looking to build a Ported Box (sized and ported to the recomended sizes) with the ports on the back of the box and a cut in the box that you can put a blocker in and cut the size of the box down (to recomended Sealed box size)

Seems reasonable, other then you'll never get a removable piece to seal air tight with that kindof force....But I see what your going for.

I'll add a picture in a min of what I think your going for....

 

sorta like that but not really

heres an example of a ring brace

its a lil fancy with the circle in the middle of it for more support but u get the idea.


So replace that with a window or mdf piece like the outer chamber of a bandpass box and your got a "convertable" box

 

I haven't seen or heard anything similar to the setup your talking about, but it's a interesting design. let me know how it goes.

 

ya i havent herd of anything like it either but if i can get it right that would be awsome... just thought of another problem thou wiring

 

why would the wiring be a problem? You can put the wire through on the sealed side and when you pull the middle piece it won't be in the way.

 

huh? the terminals are going to have to be on the back piece or possibly the side. either way its wiring thru the sealed to ported piece that scares me

oh ya did u see the bottom of my sig... im excited

 

I mean why do the terminals have to be on the back, or somewhere that you wire thru the moveable piece?you could always double layer the wood and run a piece of Copper inbetween the pieces from the back to the front chamber.

 

well the sub box is going to be forward firing and the amp/batteries are going to be in the back

 

 

thats alot of air space for those typhons isint it?

 

not nessicarily... i doubt all of it is box and it doesnt look like it stickes out too far
