yes its a finished install, i wonder what it would hit on a meter

 

going with a big emphasis function over form on that one i guess?

 

No, its not finished. Not 100% sure how we are going to finish it yet, though.

I like the overall concept...better than just a big square box, but it needs to blend in more, I think. That and some small finishing things, like the port, and a couple of the wires.

the HC2000 is in parallel with a yellow top up front. Voltage holds up pretty well, except on really big bass notes, or on tones. If I were going for comp, I'd probably go bigger or second alternator, but I think it will be fine for daily use.

My first impression would be that box design/shape is going to affect the overall output of the sub.

 

That's a safe statement, since the box design/shape of any box affects the output of the sub...

Running for office, John?

wow for some reason that 12inch sub looks scary lol

 

Lol, sorry, I meant to add "negatively" affect the output of the sub...compared to a more traditional enclosure. Post up some numbers once you get it tested though.

 

Those amps are threatening looking, the sub looks kinda like a flea market special though with a massive surround and giant 5000watts written on it.

 

Yeah, I could do without the '5000 watts' stuck on the cone. I hear the next gen won't have that anymore.

Got some early DB numbers...on 35hz 'bombs' (short, repetitive burps), 143.2. I think there is still some left, as the waveform was still very clean, and this woofer is far from broken in. I'll try it again sometime, with the gains turned up some more, and some more miles on the sub. It sounds louder than that, and it plays the low note REALLY well.

Whats really amazing is the sound quality of this thing. There is no mudiness at all, no 'huffing' noises on male spoken voice, and the accuracy is phenominal. I thought I knew what good, clean, accurate, sub bass sounded like...I have a new definition.

Still have to finish the install...I like the overall concept of the box and amp rack, but it needs something...
