Post Number: 1702 Registered: Mar-07 | the sub is gonna downfire i just had sub forward port up i wanted to try something new but y would you put the ports up instead of downfiring them too? i may have to downfire them in order to have them the length i need will it cause any probs? |

Post Number: 1707 Registered: Mar-07 | well end of day two i have a pinched nerve or bad disc in my back so its too painful to work  i have a fun doc appt tomorrow but got the last 3 cuts made today and laid one of them on there to give you an idea of where its at.

Gold Member Username: Surferdude9371Get loud or go home.... Post Number: 1736 Registered: Mar-07 | FINALLY DONE!!!!! got it in my truck bigger box and lower tuning it slams the lows. Sq is vastly improved i did notice a 2 db loss testing to the same songs i used b4 but all of the spl is blocked by the seats....... so who knows the sq improvement makes it all worth it. Trim plates soon to come....     |

Gold Member Username: Snowball123West Allis, WI Post Number: 2538 Registered: Oct-07 | how far are those aero's off the back wall? looks pretty close. looks nice with that trim panel though. good job. |

Diamond Member Username: WingmanaliveWww.stainles... .ecrater.com Post Number: 20165 Registered: Jun-06 | Veddy nice man!  |
|
Gold Member Username: Snowball123West Allis, WI Post Number: 2539 Registered: Oct-07 | and those are 6" aero's? I thought the rule was to have 6" or however big the dimaeter of the aero was, off the back wall. |
|
Gold Member Username: Surferdude9371Get loud or go home.... Post Number: 1772 Registered: Mar-07 | idk that may be true but sounds fine |
|
Gold Member Username: Snowball123West Allis, WI Post Number: 2540 Registered: Oct-07 | only thing it would affect would be the tuning. |
|
Silver Member Username: M0nstarToledo, OH U.S. Post Number: 203 Registered: Dec-08 | omgsh! have you metered it yet? i still haven't made a box for my BL18 cz im waiting to get a new car, but gosh, this looks just dandy. |
|
Silver Member Username: WickedbassNashville, Tn Post Number: 480 Registered: Jan-08 | Looks good man! Vids!!!!!!!!!! |
|
Gold Member Username: Surferdude9371Get loud or go home.... Post Number: 1773 Registered: Mar-07 | lost about 3dbs or so but i also lowered the tuning a lot and thats with all of the sound pressure being blocked by bench seating. i built this as more as and sql setup rather than higher numbers sounding like crap like my last box |
