Subject: HOW MANY BUILDS TILL FINALS? Sun Dec 19, 2010 12:55 pm

First topic message reminder :

I am building for that 160 in the trunk! 2 DD Z'S 4 D9'S and 8 NSB 100's and a lot of drive to succeed.
I know equipment isn't the only ingredient for a world champion .but it doesn't hurt to have the best that is available. Test test test.
I will be building and posting pics as I go starting the day after Christmas.

If you're asking me, I don't know if it's louder sealed but I'm sure he will test both ways.
I'm just confident that he will find the right "formula" to get that number.

I don't think it is fixable. The wire is broke there as well

Subject: Re: HOW MANY BUILDS TILL FINALS? Tue Dec 28, 2010 12:20 pm

Subs were in good shape at finals. Coils were metered in pictures on caraudio.com with dates in pictures. I wouldnt burn a competitor especially one I talk to on the regular outside the forums. Ill be looking to find ways to fixing the issue and make sure Chris doesnt get screwed in the end.

Subject: Re: HOW MANY BUILDS TILL FINALS? Tue Dec 28, 2010 1:57 pm

see thats awesome much respect to both u guys! it just sucks cuz you never know whats happened once it leaves your hands!

Subject: Re: HOW MANY BUILDS TILL FINALS? Tue Dec 28, 2010 2:03 pm

I am sure it will all work out!
On the bright side ..I will find out if the HW's will take some crazy power! 2 D9's per sub at .5 each amp.

Subject: Re: HOW MANY BUILDS TILL FINALS? Tue Dec 28, 2010 2:35 pm

They will take it. Sanford ran 2 D9's per HW 15. I can't remember if he ran them at .5 Ohm or .25 Ohm though.

Subject: Re: HOW MANY BUILDS TILL FINALS? Tue Dec 28, 2010 3:44 pm

We will see on Thursday. I will have them ..

Subject: Re: HOW MANY BUILDS TILL FINALS? Tue Dec 28, 2010 5:58 pm

The forward box may work! This box is raw mdf. No resin no mat

Subject: Re: HOW MANY BUILDS TILL FINALS? Tue Dec 28, 2010 6:10 pm

nice to c some numbers already. can u fit a box with 2 15`s and everything else that your putting the trunk?

Subject: Re: HOW MANY BUILDS TILL FINALS? Wed Dec 29, 2010 12:41 am

but i think 2 15`s is the way to go chris

It will all fit! Tightly. The 12's leave more room for port butt the 7"wide port works

Subject: Re: HOW MANY BUILDS TILL FINALS? Wed Dec 29, 2010 2:50 am

Lookin good man, can't wait to see what you end up with.

Subject: Re: HOW MANY BUILDS TILL FINALS? Wed Dec 29, 2010 2:58 pm

This is outlaw. More port don't equal bigger scores. It does help with broken woofers though . Im wondering why your chasing 60 with 2 D5 when you plan on running 4 d9 ...your going to double power.. the box will change

Subject: Re: HOW MANY BUILDS TILL FINALS? Wed Dec 29, 2010 3:43 pm

Everything will change several times by finals but I was testing the forward box compared to my subs up box on the same power. Forward by .1 so far.the box is raw with rough edges so a few 10th's there. I will start with the D9's this weekend and see what hapens. The box can't change much due to the space I need for 8 nsb 100's and 4 D9's.

Subject: Re: HOW MANY BUILDS TILL FINALS? Wed Dec 29, 2010 4:22 pm

The physical size maybe not need to change ... but the port and inside shape might.

Subject: Re: HOW MANY BUILDS TILL FINALS? Wed Dec 29, 2010 5:54 pm

I think the port is perfect! Lol

Subject: Re: HOW MANY BUILDS TILL FINALS? Wed Dec 29, 2010 6:18 pm

Ok. Just trying to help. But I suck with trunk cars and fwd boxes.

Subject: Re: HOW MANY BUILDS TILL FINALS? Wed Dec 29, 2010 6:46 pm

Sarcasm. I will be changing the port.

Subject: Re: HOW MANY BUILDS TILL FINALS? Wed Dec 29, 2010 10:24 pm

LOL.Glad you having fun .The cold weather ain't stoping you either.

Subject: Re: HOW MANY BUILDS TILL FINALS? Thu Dec 30, 2010 10:53 am

Lol. Just saying man. Legal all sealed up a bigger port can work. But here where we can open the door cone area is your friend.

Wow, I learned this the hard way a couple of years ago with a BR build. Legal, I was doing 55+ but when I would try it outlaw, I could never get above a 48+.
Alan, you seem pretty knowledgeable. study
