RCSB Audio Build

[Etroze86]

Are you still running Skar audio amps? and you have a 2 way set up now?

Getting interested in the Skar's yet lol

 

[BlkRamRt]

ahahaha. i was thinking of testing one out to see how i like them but i already had 2 RF amps and i bought my 3rd one about a week ago just to try to keep everything matching.

heres a little teaser of the new wiring. 1/0 vs 4 gauge vs 8 gauge.

 

[Etroze86]

You have been busy Sir. I like those Rockford splitters.

 

[BlkRamRt]

They work good. Im still takinging eveything apart and taking pics along the way. Its taking more time than I wanted to but it should be worth it in the end.

 

[Etroze86]

Right I hear you, thats part of the reason I never get decent build logs. Oh going to be ordering my 1200.1 here at payday, so the truck will come apart again and I will have another go at making some decent boxes for it. Probably keep it one piece this time instead of three seperate ones.

 

[BlkRamRt]

I think thats the fun part. Taking everything apart to put it back togeather...ahahaha. Are you keeping the same subs?

 

[Etroze86]

Yeah I actually really like these VD's, I had my reservations about them initially cause they just didn't sound right but then they broke in and became animals. Attack is great with them but one thing I wish would happen a little faster is the decay of the bass note. Its not that they get muddy but you can tell that with a little lighter setup they would be very very good shallow mount subs for SQ and SPL.

 

[BlkRamRt]

So its mostly on the low end around 40hz and below? they are 10's correct?

 

[Etroze86]

They are 10s and actually I have them crossed up at 80hz right now with a 12 or 18db slope. That will change when I put in the 150's though. They play down through 40hz really nicely after that they natrually roll off pretty quickly. I have them in about 1 cube sealed boxes but if a person was to put them in something like 1.25 cubes tuned at 32hz they would dig even lower without any issues.

 

[Etroze86]

Oh joys of wiring.

 

[Etroze86]

Well all finished up.

 

[Etroze86]

Well with that reading you can see we are reaching for maximum power.

 

[BradKnob]

I feel like that box just needs to be put on the back seat so everyone can see it. Lol. Looks great

 

[DavidRam]

Wow, it looks awesome!

 

[Etroze86]

Thanks guys and I think my dogs would hate sitting next to that thing if it was in the back seat of her car lol. Good god drilling into that finish last night was a little nerve racking to say the least. I had to have at least two beers to do it lol.

 

[BlkRamRt]

That box came out nice

 

[Etroze86]

Thanks I thought so also, I really can't thank my buddy enough for the level if finish that he did with it.

 

[BlkRamRt]

By when should it be hooked up and playing?

 

[Big Boi]

I recommend some Meguiars M26 paste wax for the box, LoL.

Looks awesome!

 

[Etroze86]

Lol thanks but I don't think I will be waxing it. I will try to put some tunes through it tonight in my truck but it will still be a bit before I have my wifes car wired up and ready for it.
