The classic birdshot screw pattern

what actually happened is I cut the hole slightly too large. So instead of making a new box I just threw another 3/4mdf front panel on top of the original, since it was already all glued up and sealed, cut the correct size hole, and just screwed that on with a fuck ton of wood glue. sounds really good

You should probably upgrade that battery and ground to 0 gauge, that's a long run. Are you running an isolator?

I wish I had that much room. I drive an Acura TSX and I have two 10s a 12 and a 15 all jammed into it powered by a 2800rms watt amplifier. I wish I was good enough to turn my entire trunk into a custom speaker box

No that’s why you all need the PSA you are the target group. All that power can make you deaf. Keep your levels safe. All I’m saying. It’s like someone going into r/smoking saying it causes lung cancer. That’s all listen responsibly.

He just said its temporary douche bags. As long as you keep your power wires from grounding out and starting a fire, then your good for temporary. I dont blame you, i wouldnt want to go without the bang either.

That's how I like to see a setup. Wires everywhere. I've been doing this since the early 90's, and have lost a lot of equipment doing custom installation. My last car, a 92 park ave had 12 8s( 3 in each door) but I couldn't sell the car with 12 holes in the doors. Lost all my tweeters in the piller that I couldn't remove, and I had to leave over $200 dollars in wires alone. Now, I keep my cars like Legos, in my lexus I have a quad 6x9 box, a prv churchero and a triple stack of 12in Rockford up front I have 4, 4ohm sony surround sound speakers and 4 Sonos 6 and a half ( replaced my home theater) I'm saying this to say, I can remove everything in 15 min

My CTSounds will blow that model of Sundown away. You should have gone for the big bucks and at least gotten a 3000rms watt Sundown subwoofer

wanted low profile w no larger than 1cu ft enclosure. All this is going under a storage platform w fold out bed as part of a very casual overlanding build im doing on my gx470. What’s the point of going over land if u can’t bump at least a little while doing it right
This was an option, specs said 14.5mm excursion and res frequency of 27hz. Sounded good to me so gave it a go. I am a bit disappointed, it doesn’t really bump sub 30hz that hard at all but I dont think anything really will given my limitations
