I got the SD2.5s, almost done with the box. Just need an amp, I'm in the market for 1200-2000 watts and spending no more than $220 hopefully. Also, any suggestions on how to cover the box, I really don't wanna use carpet, after all this is a custom box. I was thinking of burgundy vinyl, but any suggestions would help! Enjoy until next update! **Big step up from these... ...to these!!! *****************Progress******************** **That's an 18 ounce bottle in the port!!** **That White Guy is my soon to be father in law! lol** |

Silver Member Username: JohammbassIRL Post Number: 684 Registered: May-06 | Noooo, make it a one big BLING box, chrome that mother LMFAO. All you SPL guys don't give a fak if the box resonates LOL. Proper thing to do would be carpet it, BUT then it will resonate less and wild not be as loud (inaccurate) |
Silver Member Username: Devastation101Audioque SD2.5-ville, HENDERSON, NC US of A Post Number: 295 Registered: Feb-06 | Yea, the vinyl wouldn't be a bad idea. I'm first concerned with an amp. I went to a dealer today, outrageous prices. They only had one amp running 1000w+ and that was that damn 1000/1! |
Gold Member Username: RedlinerWilmington, Ma Post Number: 3043 Registered: Jun-05 | thats why my autotek 2000.1 is the best deal for 400 bucks it is solid and def underrated unlike the rest oft he amps ur prob looking at for like 100 bucks cheaper which have poor quality and thats why there so cheap. |
Silver Member Username: Devastation101Audioque SD2.5-ville, HENDERSON, NC US of A Post Number: 296 Registered: Feb-06 | Ok, guys... will somebody please sell me an amp to power these things! I have $220 max to spend. Not a lot, but I think I can get a good amp with that! Please help me out, I can't go to much higher cause of Christmas, still gotta get my Fiance's and Sons' gift! lol |
Silver Member Username: J_baby15Kentucky Post Number: 886 Registered: Feb-06 | Hifonics is budget amps. Save up a lil more and get that Memphis mentioned above. THey have nice amps. How many watts you wanting to run/ |
Gold Member Username: B101DD, RE, FI, TREO, KICKERUSA Post Number: 3974 Registered: Sep-05 | dude just sit that box in the closet or bassment untill you can power it correctly! Charlie has a 2000d amp for 400$ which is really hard to beat! with your 220$ i would just save that... REALLY! 220 on amp aint gonna be no good man! |
Silver Member Username: Devastation101Audioque SD2.5-ville, HENDERSON, NC US of A Post Number: 297 Registered: Feb-06 | See that's the thing, I don't want to run too many watts right now, I'm not ready to upgrade my electrical system yet! I was thinking 1000-1500! |

Gold Member Username: RedlinerWilmington, Ma Post Number: 3051 Registered: Jun-05 | trell trust us its not worth it i dont care if u buy my amp or not man. Its just ur gonna lose money if u buy a small amp cause then u will have to buy a new one after that. jmo u should save to get what u want or u will b kicking urslef later trust us. and just to let u know the reason amps are so pricy is because they are pretty much the work horse in the system if they suk everything does just the way it is |
Silver Member Username: Devastation101Audioque SD2.5-ville, HENDERSON, NC US of A Post Number: 299 Registered: Feb-06 | Ok, well I guess you guys are right. I should have enough money by Dec. 17th to get a good amp. I'm planning on competing in a Comp in Roanoke Rapids, NC that sunday. Thanks for the advice. Unless I run across a sure enough good deal, I guess I'll wait! lol |
Silver Member Username: Devastation101Audioque SD2.5-ville, HENDERSON, NC US of A Post Number: 300 Registered: Feb-06 | In the mean time, here are some more pics of my box. **Trevor, you aren't the only one who can stand in your box! j/k** |
Gold Member Username: BernymacAQ HD3!!, CA United States Post Number: 1062 Registered: Sep-04 | First logan, then me, and then you. We all have the same type of box style. Almost the same sizes. Logan has the same subs as you though. I have the HD3's. but when looking at your box, its a whole lot cleaner than mines. |
Silver Member Username: Devastation101Audioque SD2.5-ville, HENDERSON, NC US of A Post Number: 302 Registered: Feb-06 | Thanks berny, I've just been making sure I take my time, after all this is my first box! I can't take all the credit though, my fiance's father made all the cuts for me, so the edges all line up smoothly! BTW, that's polyurethane. I was informed that acoustically, the air flow will be a lot smoother. |
Gold Member Username: BernymacAQ HD3!!, CA United States Post Number: 1063 Registered: Sep-04 | the box is polyurethane? or the thing your laying it down with, the wet thing? I thought that was fiberglass resin. |
Silver Member Username: Devastation101Audioque SD2.5-ville, HENDERSON, NC US of A Post Number: 304 Registered: Feb-06 | lol, nah not the box. The wet stuff, that's poly-u. I put on a thick coat first, going to smooth that out with a wet sand, and then apply another light coat. That guy in the pic up there is a freakin Wood Master, no h0m0! lol Seriously, he can build his a55 off and know's just about anything to everything about woodcrafting. BTW, should I go ahead and get this amp off of this guy? https://www.ecoustics.com/electronics/forum/for-sale/293540.html |
Gold Member Username: BernymacAQ HD3!!, CA United States Post Number: 1064 Registered: Sep-04 | The guy knows what he's talking about. but he's new to the forum and I wouldn't trust him as of yet. Could be a scammer. I have the same amp as he does. and asking 175 plus shipping is a little to much. Plus that amp will only push out *from what I heard* only 80-85% of 1500rms at 1ohm. I have the amp, and honestly its okay. I would get a more decent amp. Chad has a kx1200.1 for 275 shipped, it'll do around 1400rms which is more than what that hifonics will do. As of right now IMO, Chads deal on that kicker amp is the only thing I know of thats going for around that much power and will power your sd's nicely. That amp would usually cost 300-400 new and around 275+ shipping on ebay. |
Gold Member Username: BernymacAQ HD3!!, CA United States Post Number: 1065 Registered: Sep-04 | 300050943081 I would check this out on ebay. If it exceeds the maximum your able to pay or exceed 275 shipped then your best bet will be Chads kx1200.1. |
Silver Member Username: Devastation101Audioque SD2.5-ville, HENDERSON, NC US of A Post Number: 305 Registered: Feb-06 | thanks berny! hopefully everything works out for me! |

Silver Member Username: Devastation101Audioque SD2.5-ville, HENDERSON, NC US of A Post Number: 306 Registered: Feb-06 | Yea we have resin in the shop too. We were honestly just talking about that like an hour ago! We'll prolly do that later on this morning. Just one coat though because the satin finish I put on is kinda smooth already! But yea, I think thats the store B, ask "Goin Deaf". He knows more about the store than I do! |

Gold Member Username: BernymacAQ HD3!!, CA United States Post Number: 1067 Registered: Sep-04 | good choice. Glad to hear you finally found an amp. |
Silver Member Username: Devastation101Audioque SD2.5-ville, HENDERSON, NC US of A Post Number: 324 Registered: Feb-06 | Thanks berny! I'm glad too! |
Silver Member Username: Devastation101Audioque SD2.5-ville, HENDERSON, NC US of A Post Number: 325 Registered: Feb-06 | Here's some more pics. I honestly began to think that the box was going to be too big for my cargo area, but I'm glad it wasn't. It fits like a glove! Can't to actually do some installing though! |
Silver Member Username: Th3pwn3rChicago, Illinois U.S.A Post Number: 776 Registered: Jul-06 | Looks like way too much box for me Especially for those subs.I have seen 4 DDs in a box about half that size hitting low 160s legal so...I dunno looks exactly like Logan's box and for some reason he chose to get rid of his audioques I blame that over-sized box personally but I've never done an install with those subs or heard them so...I guess my opinion is void. |
Silver Member Username: Th3pwn3rChicago, Illinois U.S.A Post Number: 777 Registered: Jul-06 | Oh by the way don't forget to apply some resin over that paint you did on that port.That will definately strain your airflow a tiny bit but...on the TL every tenth of a DB counts right? |
Silver Member Username: Devastation101Audioque SD2.5-ville, HENDERSON, NC US of A Post Number: 327 Registered: Feb-06 | Yea, Rob that Design came from DJ himself! He told me that he had guys using the same box with the same subs hitting 150's easily and LEGAL. All using only the RMS power rating!! And as far as burping them, it just gets a lil better! So you really can't say that the box is oversized. Well you can, but like you said that's just your opinion. And Logan is getting rid of his setup because he needs more room in his SUV. Room isn't a big deal for me when it comes to my Explorer, I have 2 more cars to drive! But yea, the resin will be put on this afternoon, I have to wait until my pops-in-law straighten ups his shop so I can put the box back in there. |
Gold Member Username: B101DD, RE, FI, TREO, KICKERUSA Post Number: 3987 Registered: Sep-05 | I also think Rob has a good point... a box that size is enuff for 4 15"s to get at 150!! you are using the same size box with less power and subs... which makes it lil more efficent. big box with little power... yes it will be loud... but it can be louder in a smaller box with more power! the box doesnt need to be that big is what Rob is saying. but its doin, what you want it to do, which is avoid using too much power and still gettin loud... |
Silver Member Username: Devastation101Audioque SD2.5-ville, HENDERSON, NC US of A Post Number: 331 Registered: Feb-06 | Ok, true, I guess! lol See you gotta understand, this will be my first box ever building. I'm still in that learning stage! lol I'm just going by what I was instructed, well informed about! Sorry Rob, wasn't trying to be too much of a Smart @$$ |
Silver Member Username: J_baby15Kentucky Post Number: 917 Registered: Feb-06 | Have you heard it yet? what amp you gettin? |

Gold Member Username: BernymacAQ HD3!!, CA United States Post Number: 1083 Registered: Sep-04 | Yeah I want to hear what you think of that box design also, bc I'm no where near finished with my audio setup :D. Nice new pictures, I like I like. |
Silver Member Username: Devastation101Audioque SD2.5-ville, HENDERSON, NC US of A Post Number: 333 Registered: Feb-06 | Jordan, nah I haven't heard it just yet...I'm going crazy just anticipating. But I bought a Memphis 16MCD1000. So hopefully it'll do those subs justice. And yea Rob and Berny, hopefully I'll be posting some numbers around Dec. 17. What are you designing berny? |

Silver Member Username: Devastation101Audioque SD2.5-ville, HENDERSON, NC US of A Post Number: 334 Registered: Feb-06 | Hey berny, have you heard it inside the car yet? How are you going to resin it since you have the top of the box already on? **Yea, you're right Rovin! |
Gold Member Username: BernymacAQ HD3!!, CA United States Post Number: 1095 Registered: Sep-04 | Pour in the resin, tilt the box and let the resin flow, and then brush it, if need be. Not to worried about resining the top. But I'll have to see once I get the resin =). And nope haven't heard it inside the car yet. They way you see it in the picture is where the box still sits today. |
