Just tested out the bass cube and got my gains set proper and holy crap! I didn't know how much these things helped out. My 12's were pretty weak around 30-35 hz and I got this dialed around that 30hz range and damn! Makes my steering wheel shake on the lows now. I dialed the boost inside the cube d...

I actually have a matching white bass cube I picked up from tricky ricky!!! I just haven't had time to install it yet. I also plan to make covers for the amps under the seats and I have to figure out where to incorporate the cube.

PG recommended a 50 amp fuse within 18" of the ZX500's power input. The fuse at the battery should be sized to protect your power wire runs from short circuits, not to protect your amplifiers in case of malfunction... IIRC all the ZX amps except the ZX500 were fused internally. It is very unli...

Zeropoint, Thanks for the input! So a fuse up at the main battery will not suffice? I think I currently have an 80 amp fuse up front for the main power wire, and I have an extra battery in the rear by my zx500 which I fused 8 inches from the battery. Do you think I should run one more fuse block wit...

Yeah the LEDs will definitely look cool. Thanks for the idea in the dowels! I will work on that this weekend.

Oohh I like the dowel idea. Very cheap option that I can get to pressure fit. Yeah they remind me of the zx fan guards. Was going to try and do an amp rack of the zx amps on top of the box and paint the grills white to match but I don't really want to mount the amps on a vibrating surface.

What do you guys think I should use to attach the front grill panel? I would like to avoid using screws to keep it a clean look. I was considering strips of velcro, but I saw these grill guides on parts express. I could glue in the guides, but I don't know if they would be strong enough to hold the ...

Here's some progress on the build. Got the box built, now I just need to put some carpet on it and run some LED's along the inside edge.

Bought some ti265ps speakers from Bryan. Perfect transaction as always. Thanks man!

Thanks for the helpful input guys! I think I wrapped my head around the scenario. I didn't have any goals other than figuring out what changes when adding more displacement to the vehicle. Very slim change. Thanks again guys!

Yes, just to satisfy curiosity. I mean I can hear a difference with a couple of people in the car. About as much of a difference with engine power for acceleration. Subtle but different. I was really just looking to see if there was a clear advantage to use as little space as possible or use up as m...

So I recently read a juicy post from the archives on here with group delay with sealed and ported boxes but I got sick of the back and forth bickering/arguing to find out if anyone mentioned a correlation, if any, with box size and cabin gain. So what if I had a 3 cubic ft gross ported box that yiel...

Hey guys, another question. So I sketched up something in paint to show the idea of the box. So I want to recess the front baffle which will hold the woofers about 1 inch into the box to accomodate the grill panel I wanted to use. My question is, will this front grill panel act as a port or cause an...

That stuff would be perfect. I was going to do a big integrated grill cover for all 3 subs. I would need a whole sheet pretty much or 3 pieces of 13" by 13".

Very cool! I wish I had the patience and time to learn how to fix amps. My soldering skills are marginal at best and my understanding of small electrical components lack heavily. I'm glad there are people to pay to figure the stuff out for me!! Lol

Yep they are DVC. Sorry, I should have specified what impedance they were.

Do you guys know where I can get thick grill mesh material?

The boston subs have the easy impedance system right on the terminals so wiring is a snap. And yes keeping the wiring all the same length to each woofer is a must. I have seen daisy chained woofers and the first woofer in the chain gets more power as I saw black coil on the first woofer and copper c...

I think I am still going to run this amp with the 3 subs at the 2.67 ohm load. I have always wanted to do a triple woofer setup. I don't plan to run full tilt all the time. I really hope the amp will run strong for me though. Already bought it haha.

Subs are dual 4 ohm each. Yeah I'm leaning towards 3 just to save more space and I think it would be plenty loud. Then I can push them with rated power and not stress the amp out too much. Thanks for the feedback Jason!

Hey guys, I am doing a new setup soon after I get my ZX500 recapped. I have four bnib boston acoustics g112-44 subs. I am pondering on running all 4 or just 3. The amp will push 3 better than all 4 but having all 4 would be kind of neat. My plan for running just 3 of the 12's. Both boxes would be se...

That car looks downright MEAN!! I love the low stance. Great looking system in the back too! I wish I had install skills like that.

I actually just threw my pair of 15" xmax subs in a box I had built for some other subs and they sound awesome. The box is 2.8 cubes per chamber after woofer and port displacement tuned at 38 hz and it slams. Very good control and surprisingly great low end extension. I can only imagine what th...

I will help since no one else will. This site has really died down in the last year or so. I think a lot of people have migrated to PG Facebook page or are too busy to keep up with the forum posts. You will be fine with that amp. You can always turn it down if those subs don't like that much power. ...

You ever get them installed? Did you build a box for them? 1.1 cubic ft is all they need sealed so you you wouldn't have any issues getting at least 1.3 cubic ft per woofer after driver displacement. SQ will be best sealed anyways. Let us know what you think of those new woofers!

culzero wrote:so Luke how is that 12dElite treating you?

It's pretty awesome! Very solid low end extension and brutal authority. I want to make a bigger box in the future probably around 3.5 cubic ft. and tune it to around 28 hz to see how nasty the lows can really get.
