Gold Member Username: •cam•BC Canada Post Number: 2221 Registered: Nov-06 | There are 2 enclosures, each containing a 12" Mach 5 MAW. I have an Earthquake PHD-10000W/2 driving them at 4 ohms for about 900 watts. Vehicle is a '94 Geo Tracker. Build thread: https://www.ecoustics.com/electronics/forum/car-audio/455513.html This weekend I installed both enclosures. I had planned to build a hardtop but got lazy so I just threw both the boxes in there and zap-strapped the spots where it wouldn't reach the latches. Volume/Extension: Stupid. I keep a pair of sound barriers hanging on the rear-view now. Everything shakes like mad. The doors flex and the dash shakes and the wipers bounce a little. I'm amazed that a pair of 12" subs that cost me $165 to get to my door and 900 watts can do this. They start to roll off at about 30 Hz and get down to about 25 Hz before I start worrying about unloading. It feels like a massage. Sound quality: They sound great. All I've tested so far was a little Justice System and some Stan Getz/Charlie Byrd but I'm impressed. [Cliche]THE VERDICT:[/Cliche] Get a design from Pete if you're going to build your own box. This is a video comparing my old box to the new ones: |

Gold Member Username: MixmastaspigTeam RD, Canada Post Number: 1558 Registered: Sep-05 | Not to shabby dude, that D-10 is not a bad amp eh! now you just have to a couple of weeks then you can cruise around. I wish I had access to tools to do my own box, Fishercustoms is doing mine. |
|
Silver Member Username: DuckaShelby Township, MI United States Post Number: 200 Registered: Jan-08 | Hey Cam, Your old box was designed on subwoofertools.com? Is it so much louder because now you are using a bandpass box rather than just a ported box? |
|
Gold Member Username: SomedonniedudeIllinois United States Post Number: 1237 Registered: May-07 | Thats pretty frikin' sweet, looks like a good amount of airs moving too! I wonder if it would be louder with a hardtop? |

Gold Member Username: Killerzracing71Fredericksburg, Virginia United states Post Number: 2049 Registered: Aug-05 | so hes back at Designs again??? one time he was then he wasnt then he i guess is lol |

Gold Member Username: •cam•BC Canada Post Number: 2239 Registered: Nov-06 | /\/\ike: I know, man! Just gotta bring it over here and then I get to drive around with my Mom who hates loud bass but it's all good. I'll find someone who can drive with me that doesn't mind. I can't wait though! Killerz: I don't think TTB is doing designs but he's offering them through his business. Kevin: My old design was modeled with Bass Box Pro 6. Bandpass enclosures are actually less efficient than regular bass-reflex but because there is a sealed chamber to control the cone, they are great if you want extension like I do. It's louder because Pete modeled it with my vehicle in mind and found the best way to fire the port, the optimal volumes and I built these better than my old box. Chad and Sean: Thanks. It turned out great! Donnie: It will be louder with a hardtop. "It will do wonders for your in cabin efficiency", Pete said. There is a fair bit of air moving. I was surprised. Even with less than half the displacement it's moving the TP in the window way more than before. |

Gold Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 8609 Registered: Jun-04 | "Bandpass enclosures are actually less efficient than regular bass-reflex but because there is a sealed chamber to control the cone, they are great if you want extension like I do." actually thats incorrect a bass reflex is 3 db more efficient than a sealed enlosure on average and a bandpass enclosure is 4 db more efficient than a sealed enclosure...without taking other factors in mind placing it in your vehicle |

Gold Member Username: Killerzracing71Fredericksburg, Virginia United states Post Number: 2054 Registered: Aug-05 | Okay so you just contact him through his site and have hime design it for you??? But hes no longer affiliated with Toxic bass right? |
|
Gold Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 8610 Registered: Jun-04 | cam I sent you a pm |
|
Gold Member Username: Nyyfan1315 MAG USA Post Number: 8978 Registered: Jul-06 | "I'm here! It always says that for some reason, Yanks." Good to see. I was about to say why the hell did he leave? Lol. Glad you didn't |

Gold Member Username: •cam•BC Canada Post Number: 2245 Registered: Nov-06 | Sean, I can't check my PMs. It says that my info was entered incorrectly. I used these "•" in my name and I have to enter them every time I post too so I think that would be the reason. camrennie at shaw.ca Yeah, you just contact him through his site. I'm not sure if he's affiliated with them or not. I think he is. I know he's not affiliated with MAC anymore though. |

|
Gold Member Username: •cam•BC Canada Post Number: 2252 Registered: Nov-06 | LMAO!!!!!!!!!! Thanks. I was wondering if anyone would notice those. As much as I hate them, I don't want to wear my Makavelis in the mud and lacing up my work boots is too much of a hassle. |
