i WANT TO SEE PICS OF OTHER 8'S ENCLOSURES AND SETUPS
 

HEY ALL..... IF ANYONE CARES TO SHARE THERE WEBSITES OR RANDOM PICS OF THERE SET UPS. I JUST RECENTLY PUT A 10 W7 IN MY CAR WITH AN ENCLOSURE AND SET UP I DID MYSELF WHICH I WILL SEND TO ANYONE... IM NOT SURE IM GETTING TO MAX OUT OF THIS SETUP SO I WAS WONDERING WHAT OTHER PEOPLE HAVE COME UP WITH... HERE IS MY FINISHED PAGE OF MY CAR

MY RIDE ENCLOSURE SUB AND SETUP

TELLME WHAT YOU THINK

damn bro that looks nice and sweet
I cant even think of the punch that w7 must have
I currently have 2 10'' w3 and looking to add 2 more on my custom fiberglass boxes.

hey I noticed you have the sevn2 I was thinking of using how do you like it ? I think my LOC is not cutting it.

Looks good, how does it sound? I really want to add a system, but I'm scared of how much weight it will add to the car. W7's alone weight around 40-50lbs, plus the box, it's about another extra 100+lbs.

thanks guys.... sven2 is great compard to others i dont know... i figured they have been in ther game for awhile so i figured it would be the best... its sounds pretty good. but im still convinced that it can sound better... but im not sure what it is. enclosure, convertor, amp.. i mean its a 3 ohm sub and when u start messing with the conf. of ohms you lose alot... i bulit the enclosure to jl specs so i dont know..
hard hitter u are right the sub does weight alot 35 40 lbs i think for the 10 the box wasnt to heavy 30-40 but see i have neever been big on speed i liek it but i have always been a music man bass good clean sound. i had a 95 gsx eclipse i had 4 15;s in it and i tore it all out and put 1 jlw7 12" in it and i sware to you i was just a loud as my 4 15's were.. here a link to that page

copy and paste this page

mrkinn: not bad...

Kelrx8: i though you made yours out of wood... do you plan to paint or carpet the FG boxes... im FINALLY near completion and im telling you it is a HELLLA lot of work.. especialy if you paint.. my paint got messed up sooooooo many times... hope youre good with painting...

Hardhitter: you can always buy terminal cups to install on your boxes so when you go to the strip or race you can take the subs/amps out... thats one thing i had in mine when i did mine..


here are some pics i took before i had to strip my paint and repaint my boxes...

Yeah, I've had a 12W7 and everything. www.sounddomain.com/id/hardhitter2k3 is my page for my Blazer that I did a lot of setups for. I installed everything for that car. I'm debating on what to do for the 8. I'm thinking maybe just a single 8W7 and 500/1 but I don't know. Like you said, I just want SQL.

looks like you bulit nice enclosures brian.... i am a huge fan of jl subs i havent heard or seen any amps yet, but i think im gonna get rid of my 1100d and get a 500/1 for the 10.
i used to be spl spl spl but now im getting older i still want a sub that will boom when i want it too....

lil ben- have u heard the subs on the pods?? i am curious i love the setup only one problem for me my golf clubs need that area to fit in my trunk lol

lilbenny currently have 2 10'' in a mdf box rear facing
but now adding 2 more 10 in the side enclosures liek you did.yeah paint is a mission
I may just carpet, but painting skills are pretty good plus I have a compressor and a paint gun.but I think its mostly about using the right materials.ex primer,paint.
also what amp U running ? 500/1
oh yeah right now im running a kicker amp but I swear my mock up amp (planet audio )I used sounded maybe cleaner.weird :mad:
still have alot of playing around back there

havent installed anything yet so no clue how they sound.. i got some used.. so i wouldnt even know if they work to be honest...

im gonna be running 2 500/1 1 to each sub... lol overkill?

Here's my setup in the trunk, not quite done yet though.

TRU STILL NOT DONE YET? looks sweet mann just curious.. if you dont want to say the price can you give an aproximation on how much this cost?

I have been following tru install for a while but cant wait to see the final pixs
lilbenny I cant believe u havent fired those puppies up yet
did u get my pixs on 12volt forum ? if u still cant figure out how to hold that enclosure in
give me a email address so i can draw u a pix and diagram of what u need.

mrkinn what type of wood/cardboard did u use for the amp false floor ?

kel nah i didnt there was an error when i clicked the link..... email - muibenjamin@yahoo.com

I know it's been a while & I sound kinda lame. It's really lame but I got the run around about the parts getting re-painted. It was kinda difficult because my audio installer deals with the bodyshop directly so I didnt have much say on it. As long as it's going to get done right, I'll accept the long lag even though it's still kinda lame when you pay top dollar & still get stalled. I'm going to drop by the shop this Saturday to at least get some info & update on the progress.

Sadly no. I hella want to make to HID but if it doesnt get done by then so be it. :(
Pm sent about the labor cost for me & what I also got quoted from other shops.

lil benny this is what u are using

yes kel those pics are correct.. i was trying to use that hole...

i was goign to take pics but i cant seem to find where i placed my digital camera lol...

Here's some pics of my setup I did about a year ago. Its 1 12w-7 in a sealed box powered by a jl1000x1 which is under a sheet of plexi. There are two fans that I installed in front of the amp to keep the temps down, hard to see them in the pic though.

I am getting ready to redo it though, I want to go with a ported box to get the extra sound output. Its going to require a fiberglassed box though since it needs to be so big. I also want to etch a jl symbol into the plexi and put a neon under it.

nice pics your set up is very similar to mine but not to many options we can do here.... does anyone think that knows about jl is the 1000/1 over kill for a 10??? i was gonna get the 500/1 but i dont wanna short myself cuz i have a 1100d dei which i think is a pretty good amp...

idk not a system expert but i know the jl lines of W7 need lottsssss of power...

It's kind of an overkill but it can work. You need to turn down the gains on the amp. More power to speakers is not as bad as people think as long as it's not playing for a very long period of time. Stay away from DEI car audio stuff, they ruin alot of good companies like PPI when they bought them out & PPI's product quality went way down same goes for Orion when DEI bought them out.

You can run the 1000/1 on the 10W7, but like Tru said, keep the gains down. Once you start clipping, you start sending distorted power to the sub and that's how you blow subs. You need to know how to set the gains on your amp so the amp won't clip. Also depends on the box you put the sub in. If you put the sub in a small sealed box, the sub is going to need less power to move air as if it was in a bigger sealed box. Same thing with ported, you're going to need a little more power to get the sub moving, but nothing too much. You could probably run around 750W of clean power to the 10W7 and running it all day without any problems. They are great subs.

im in the process of putting to 15inch audiobahns in my trunk with the visonik true 3,200 watt amp ... all fiberglass will post pics as soon as i take them will try to do today

Shane

Here's some pics of mine, we're still going to add some details down the road but these should give you an idea. :)

whats everyone using on theres false floor, MDF 1/2 ?

for mine we used a combination of MDf and fiberglass

false floor as in the amp cover??? if ur talking about that i just used 1/4 inch pegboard crap.. for the enclosure i used 3/4 mdf... look at my websire on cardomain.com link is somewhere in this thread to see

hey tru681 the dei i have is there gen 1 1100d which got great reviews but i heard the latest stuff wasnt to good.. but do you think im gonna benifit by putting a 500/1 and taking the 1100d away... or should i just get a 1000/1 for it...

thanks yeah the amp rack, Ive seen the pegboard used often but trying to see if a noticeable difference between msd & pegboard or plywood
enclosure I always used mdf
thanks again

Well, the 500/1 JL slash is perfect for 1-10w7 setup. I will get the 500/1 if I'm planning to stick with that set-up & wont be changing it. If you plan on adding another sub or replacing it with a more power hungry sub in the near future, I would definately get the 1000/1 for now & just turn the gains all the way down on the amp for your 10w7. Oh yea, the older DEI stuff is definately better built & higher quality & the new stuff I heard is crap. The way car audio works these days is more power=better product, that's what they are trying to amke us think & it definately tricked most of us out there. These days most companies tries to built the beefiest amps instead of putting up quality all around it ,they focus on putting out as much watts as they can. That's why most old school gear will be better than the new generation stuff. Also, I've seen alot of popular old school gear that's made in the early 90's that still goes for well over $1000 because it's known to be top quality stuff & way out performs the newer generation stuff.

i really dont think im gonna go any larger then a 10 anymore.. then again i said that with 12'2 then i put 4 - 15's in my older car.. its sad to say im getting older and its time to tone it down SOME not much but some.. i am gonna get a 500/1 and see what sounds better.. the one problem i have right noe with the converter is that i set the volume at say 10 and the bass is still strong.. and it seems i have alot of vocals in my sub which i cant stand.. the dei amp doesnt have a cross over on it i dont think... so i need to elimiante that. it hink the jl amp has all those gadgits.

This is the setup that i am using in my car now.
2 12" pioneer premier subs with a 500/1 JL amp
A fiberglass box that me and a friend made.

hey kevin how does that sound.. are you under powing those subs with a 500/1 does that 500/1 have a bulit in cross over in it to take out the voicals in the subs??

Not to hijack the thread, but what are you guys using as a ground point for your setups? I have a small system right now, not drawing a lot of power, so i wasn't all anal about having the best ground point. But after seeing this thread, I think i want to go with a similar setup and i'd just like to know where you guys are grounding. :)

grounded my amp to the trunk,I found no need to run back to battery
take off the black cover (pop up) that is over the trunk latch U will see a ground on a 12mm bolt.

yea thats where i grounded the cover that covers the taillights and hatch hooker deal. i just scrapped some paint away and with a self tapper grounded it.

Thread resurrection!

By now there has to be more trunks to see.

Bump.

Here is mine! Guys I am a father of 4, have to have room for 2 in the back and 2 in the truck!lolo

I know this post is two years old but... any finished pics on Tru's setup... and I have to agree abotu the old school stuff. I had an Orion HCCA, honking anodized and etched aluminum, red amp that ran 800x1 into 1(Birth SHeet 1277x1 into 1ohm) and that was the best sub amp I'ver personally every worked with. It has no later then late 90's. I ran so many different setups with that amp in multiple different cars. That amp got passed through a combination of 5 of my freinds and was still KICKING. I would roughly estimate that that amp had been installed in 20 different systems, running anywhere from 1 sub to 4... All applications were happy as long as they got the right power/impedance matchup.

here's mine. still not done yet. i need to make a false floor for my amp.

How does it sound face the rear compartment. does it rattle or anything while its closed

This is what I want to do to my 8, The new Skyline has a nice setup (IMO).
I'm not sure but I think it is doable

I just put in a 12 inch L5 with a zenclosures box, and 750 RMS amp, I'm gonna take some pics in the morning with some good lighting, it turned out real well and I was happy with the install from Custom Sounds here in Austin, even though they were expensive.

more recent pics of mine. i may have to make another amp rack if i decide to power my component speakers.

we've since changed up a few things, like redid the decklid piece, and we filled in the corners behind the amps with some covered pieces where I park little 1/24th Rx-8's during car shows :D: I"ll have more recent pics after next weekend's show. :)
