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

Kel Rx8

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.

HardHitter

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.

mrkinn

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

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...

HardHitter

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.

mrkinn

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

Kel Rx8

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
still have alot of playing around back there

LiL BenNy

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?

TRU681

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

LiL BenNy

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?

Kel Rx8

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.

Kel Rx8

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

LiL BenNy

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

TRU681

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.

TRU681

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.

Kel Rx8

lil benny this is what u are using

LiL BenNy

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...

rkostolni

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.

mrkinn

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...

LiL BenNy

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

TRU681

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.

HardHitter

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.
