my new sub box

[Laura]

well here goes i decided to do it half decently lol

old wire vs new wire lol

old install

glued screwed and fiberglassed smooth

 

[jamesy]

whats it tuned to?

 

[Laura]

bout 58 i think

 

[jamesy]

quite high then does that design of box effect the linerarity of the speaker at all?

 

[Laura]

i have nooooo idea lol,

 

[jamesy]

are you running it off that vibe mono?

 

[Laura]

indeed i am, its actually a new vibe space sub that they havnt released yet,

 

[jamesy]

thats the monoblock IV is it not 1400wrms at 1ohm and 850 at 2ohm should kick mega hard

 

[Brasseye]

now thats gonna be mega loud

 

[jamesy]

perhaps you should buy some ear muffslol

 

[Dargs]

Sweet as.

Just a thought.. the ports facing right against the parcel shlef?

 

[Laura]

its designed for DbDrag so the shelf will be out and seats forward for maxium bass,

yeah it is the vibe monoblock IV 2800 watts
when its playing full bass you have to wear ear protectors

do you rate the vibe space subs?

im after a 15 inch one to go into my sparewheel well, only problem is finding a amp to run it that dont cost ££££££££££££££££££££

Looks good mate! Decent sized wire is always best.

Im powering 3 amps and a split charging system so my wires are huuuuge.

I like the angle of the box, will look quality when its finished

 

[White16valver]

Top job!

I want a listen!

 

[Dink]

lmao i just noticed in one of your pics your using the sub as a tool rest

also who says you have to wear ear protectors:evil:

 

[White16valver]

pardon?

 

[alexbleubolt]

as you made your own box, wanted to ask a question, as i was goign to make my own, cna i mount the amp inside the sub box ? that way it will get cool air from the sub moving the air around, and i wont' have to have my amp rollign around in the boot cso i am too lazy to screw it down

 

[White16valver]

I wouldn't have thought that would be very wise - voicecoils generate heat from the movement of the cone, plus all the vibration would be bad for the amp internals I would have thought! :S

I like your ingenius thinking though lol

You can just mount the amp to the box if you want - they're usually fine on there!

[alexbleubolt]

yeah, i wanted it hidden, and out the way, and having it inside the box means you could just have some connections to the box, so when you take your car to garage or want to use the boot, you can just take the one thing out, and make life easy,as i often take mine out to fill my boot with cr@p to take to the dump

 

[alexbleubolt]

pardon?

nice one, what u thinking about then bet your girls in need for some throaties later :evil:

now it depends, its a very bassy sub i wouldnt recomend it for Sound quality as i actuallu have mine turned to minus 6 when playing music, waste of money if thats all you want it for, for bass yes i think its good, mines running off a 2800 watt amp which cost best part of £600 not heard it with anything lesser so i wouldnt no

that isnt the sub im using lol was another, but shusssh you didnt see it, there is also one in my house my mum has started using it as a fruit bowl lol

o and ear protectors, because it actually physically hurts when its goin at full volume

[Laura]

[Adam]

[mas]

[Laura]

my bf gets 165.5db 2nd loudest in the UK, the one that beats him is in a totally different class and had 3 inch think glass,

 

[wozzaa]

Looks good wouldnt mind having a listen.

I seriously need to get off my arse and build my box. ts lay half finished for a couple months now.
