Well I know all about car audio and whatnot. The reason I didn't fire towards my trunk is because of responsiveness and looks. I didnt want the sub to be seen since I was planning all along to caulk it like that... haha yes its completely sealed and that was my biggest goal, along with looks of course. Once again I'm not going for SPL, only SQ.
I payed 25 dollars for the sub new and about 75 for the amp. The sub is rated at 250 watts RMS from MTX... which is basically worth crap because noone rates worth **** these days haha, but I still used this as a general reference.
Of course I built the box myself and whatnot... I'm about to move the wires to hide them and find a way to blend in the clamps... they are only screwed with one screw to my spare tire cover so that I can rotate them to get the box out if necessary... and with the design on the box, I don't really even need them so I will probably end up taking them out. On the top of the box on the side with the sub in it the wood extends about 3 extra inches after the top of the box wood meets it... if you have my car you will notice there is a small space shaped like an upside down "V" up there that this extra wood sticks up into to hold the box in place... and obvioulsy it's not moving side to side. A big problem with how I drive is it moving around if you know what I mean.
AccordSleeper... what amp would you suggest over this one?
Oh BTW it's plenty loud for me, If I wanted something loud I would have gone with a Tempest, XXX, Brahma, W7 etc... I just got it metered for the hell of it... it was free to meter from a guy here haha... but it was an official one, as in the mic was actually near my window up front and whatnot... 127.3dB... Not bad for a 10"!
