I'm gonna gain down to where I'm only drawing ~3500-4000. With the alternator and a couple batts, I'm not seeing much voltage drop in my near future.

unless your batts rest at 14volts or you have a 300amp alternator you will be seeing voltage drops.... even at 3500-4000rms. Remember, amps run most efficiently when they are running near full capacity.

I almost swallowed my tongue when I saw that woofer. It scares me. I think I'm going to go lay down in the fetal position now.

...although you'd expect nothing less coming from an SQ guy...

That looks like a MONSTER! I can't wait to see what happens with this!

Don't feel so bad man, it's still sitting on my coffee table. I go fetal everynight looking at that thing.

I dislocated my thumb the firs time I picked it up, haha

Insane.

Nice front yard! LOL

he he...my batteries rest at 14 Volts...the sad thing is, I'm such a little girly wimp about SPL, I'll never use all the potential.

I believe his DC alt claims 300amps so we'll see.

I talked to Rob at DC Power and it also shows on the invoice I got

1 DC Power 150/320 amp alternator

Heres a vid of me free airing the SMD sub. LIGHTLY. Also some voltage issues I was having but thats getting sorted out. DC Power FTW

That was my old setup with 2 12" RE SX subs before they went more mainstream with their sub lineup.

That's a COOL video,

You are going to need at least 3 or 4 layers of Mat into all the interior of you Yaris, or will start to come apart!

I guess you need a box too! LOL

You're exactly correct. I'm gonna need tons of mat and deadening. Only thing is, that's where I ran out of $$$. I just spent over $150 on the box material. When I do get the money, maybe I'll ship the car over to you, the the "sound deadener JEDI". Lol

Starting the box



Little bit of bracing, also to help witht the weight of the magnet







Had to do a little trimming in the upper corners



Cut out the false floor







Had to cut that into three pieces to get it to fit







Put the amp in







Speaker terminals



FRONT VIEW



Heres a link to a small video

Man! I couldn't stop laughing at the doggy! trying to find out what was all that noise. LOL

Hey now we need to think about putting MAT on the Windshield %@%@ $^@! that is not going to work...

Did you do that with windows all the way up?

Looks good.

You'll want more than just mat... you want to use expaning foam inside the pillars. Foam comes in a can, you spray it in, it expands, then hardens. Increasing rigidity will be more beneficial than adding weight (lowering ressonance frequency). Have to be careful with the foam tho, foam can bend the sheet metal if you are careful.

Ok, so I need to be able to put a few things in the trunk so............... I built this.

















That Amp Rack is gonna get carpeted and the box painted and stuff, but this is it at the moment

Got a question about boxing in the amp i have a similar build just that im placing the amps under the wood. would boxing them in that way over heat the amps? at the moment i drive around with out the wood floor on and wondering about the over heating issue..
Alot of you have more experience with this then me so what you think?

[typicaljawaiian808]

Did some finish work so........... Here it is































Heres what it looked like w/ the plexi on it, but that cracked and got paint on it so i need to cut a new piece



Im gonna "Bodywork" the enclosure, so all those screws and imperfections will go away
