highvoltamps Posted May 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 If I was doing it over, i should have just built the ducts in the rear panel thats glued to the back of the cab, then they would all have been carpeted together. Maybe I rip it out and start over Will look a lot cleaner, you should try to use the back panel webbing to fish the wires close to the terminals. What subs are you going to install?

What subs are you going to install? Ya I'm not to worried what it looks like. I could have built something custom to flush the amps in but I like to change gear often so that doesn't work when you build it to fit. The only person who sees it is me anyway. I was happy just to get all the dynamat covered with carpet. I'm thinking about x-types...not sure yet. My amp is got a fair bit of power at 1ohm. I was thinking about 10w6's like you have, I've built boxes before with them an they hit hard. But cost from my wholesaler is a fair bit more then i can get other descent subs for. I'd run hcca 10's if I had the money....big$$$ Edited May 17, 2011 by paulguy (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highvoltamps Posted May 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 Go with the JLW6V2's in sealed enclosures. That's all I could fit under my seats lifted 2 inches Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulguy Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 I've done 10w6's without lifting the rear seat. The xtypes I think i can do too...but it's gonna be tight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highvoltamps Posted May 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 I've done 10w6's without lifting the rear seat. The xtypes I think i can do too...but it's gonna be tight They might have fit, but was the box the correct size for the sub. I'm very close to the specified .625 cu. ft. for my sealed downfiring box. I like the Alpine Type X 10 Swx-1043d, good choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulguy Posted May 18, 2011 Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 (edited) I don't remember the last box exactly, if i was to guess I would say the box was about '1 to 1.25', which is enough for the w6's and x type;s which are about .65ft. A little dacron and it's close enough. At least with the x-types, if I want more sound later on, I can run a bigger amp cuz they can handle twice as much power as the jl's. I just cut a hole and fibreglass over the magnets. Course with jl, you need that 3/4" space over the vent hole on the back of the magnet. But they're as deep as a w7, so I should just run those, but then I need a new amp for sure with the 3 ohm coils.

highvoltamps Posted May 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 Go with the 1000W Xtant X1001, very underated. That's what I'm using. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulguy Posted May 18, 2011 Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 (edited) My HCCA Orion does pretty good for now. 1200 watts @ 1ohm. Edited May 18, 2011 by paulguy (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highvoltamps Posted May 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 How did your JL's hit, did you ever db meter it? I'm looked forward to getting mine in, gonna be dynamat and ensoliting over the weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulguy Posted May 18, 2011 Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 I've done one box under a seat with 10w6's(customers, not mine) and it hit really hard running off a 1000.1 I don't bd meter customers cars. It sounded good though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highvoltamps Posted May 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 (edited) Right on, I should be able to get the job done with two. How long have you been installing? You definitely know your shit. I've been since I was a teenager then became an electrician and still rockin out. This project is going to be my best, well thought out and a lot of customizing.

mcmahan Posted May 18, 2011 Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 I dont have to much done just kept it simple, its enough for me The sub is a 8" L7 it hits hard like I said it wont beat the block down but it will ring your ears in the cab. My dad owned a stereo shop from before I was born till my mid 20's so I have been around 180 plus DB systems and just want to have a clean SPL in the SS. The install was done by another member here Travis (uncald4) he ownes Gig Harbor Auto Works Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
