it wasnt too hard to do, just a bit annoying at times like when i was sealing all the joints inside with glass fibre but well worth that cos i just hooked one of the subs up and sounds amazing! and yes i know its in serious need of a clean lol! smileys/smiley17.gif

[reevesy_vtr]

Are you running the amp at 1 ohm???

[saxo_beast]

Thats what i was planning on doing, trying to get my head round the wiring up to be honest and need to get hold of a screw for one of the speaker termianls on the amp as one is missing! grrrrrrr

[sillysammysnail]

looks real nice!!!

so impressed when people can do stuff like that!!!

wish i was as talented...

[saxo_beast]

lol well just did a bit of reading up plus i work at b&q = cheap material!!!!!!!

[reevesy_vtr]

are the sub dual 4 or dual 2 ohm voice coils?

[saxo_beast]

theyre dual 4 ohm mate

[saxo_beast]

how can i wire them up to 1 ohm?

enter your subs and bingo your wiring to 1 ohmsmileys/smiley15.gif

[McPikie]

Nice, but for show obviously.

If it was my system, I would have the magnet in the boxes, sealed, loading them both up at 1ohm.

have you got the correct volume inside the boxes, or just make them that size to fit nicely??

[saxo_beast]

i must admit i just tried to make them as big as possible but with one sub hooked up it sounds pretty good so im happy with it

[saxo_beast]

just started getting the leather on today. is a right bastard though! lol get some more pics up soon

[saxo_beast]

hey everyone just finished covering the install in white leather and think it looks pretty smart, well chuffed with it. its not bloody quiet either! need to have it tested for the db rating! smileys/smiley2.gif what do u think? just need to make some sort of build to house my 6x9's now. any ideas? cheers

[vtrdan]

Looks smart as fook mate smileys/smiley10.gif

[Baz]

Very very nice, looks like you done a great job!

[VTaaRon]

cor that looks hot and if it sounds as good as it looks im sure it will its gonna be wicked

[marmar]

how much did it cost for leather and mdf?

[saxo_beast]

well i got the mdf dirt cheap cos i work at b&q so get my off cuts! leather was bout 50 quid. im happy with it glad u like it

[VTaaRon]

i reckon some thick black stitching would set it off

[reevesy_vtr]

Nice, but for show obviously.

If it was my system, I would have the magnet in the boxes, sealed, loading them both up at 1ohm.

Inverting a sub doesnt make any difference other than making the box bigger (more qubic ft), the box's are sealed and they are running at 1ohm smileys/smiley5.gif

I think it looks the nuts mate when i get some time i am going for the same amp on 2 pioneer tsw3004spl's. but i am going to cheat and build 2 stelf boxes in to my install smileys/smiley4.gif

[sillysammysnail]

that looks frickin lurvely!!!

[saxo_beast]

yeh i was gonna go for those pioneers but as i got chrome alloys and bits i thought id bling it out with the audiobahns. im glad u all like it and it does sound amazing! will take another pic of it lit up

[jdman]
