Silver Member Username: Tdeaton1021Near Tampa, Florida USA Post Number: 757 Registered: Sep-04 | hey guys. its done ive completed it. im happy and also left unsatisfied. it seems to be pretty loud especially concerning im only pushing about 500 of the 1000 watts form the 1000/1 but it seems as if it doesnt hit certain frequencys well.... idk im going to build a slot ported box tuned to 26 hz and a sealed box 2.5 cuft and test out those boxes as well to see what i like best. i want something to sound good and slam on all songs not just certain ones... i do love listening to throw it up though! lol a lot of people at school are impressed with what ive done with a "no name" brand sub and only 1 sub. little do they know ascendant audios build is better than kicker and rockford etc. but hopefully they will learn form me because my system is alot louder not turned up all they way than a kid with 4 12 inch comp VRs not done up right. thanks again to sean. hes been a huge help not only to my sytem but my overall knowledge of car audio. i had a greta time building this monsterous box lol. but as we both knew it was an experiment. i think ur program didnt come out right. ats why im going to try a 26 hz slot ported box and a sealed box to see what the difference is in SQ and SPL and overall performance. ima go get my camera now to upload the pictures. i forgot to take one with everything done besides the top put on. sorry i got so excited i glued and screwed the tp on without taking a picture first. all in all im so happy to have my avalanche up and runnning :-D i wish i had tons of money to test all kinds of systems i think it would be a ton of fun. but i;ll just have to keep workin |

Gold Member Username: Suleman36Maryland U.S.A. Post Number: 2063 Registered: Feb-05 | I just installed my Avalanche 15 last night for the first time to a 2.2 cuft. box sealed and it sounds amazing ! ! !. The sound quality is what impresses me the most and then the LOW END it puts out is very impressive. 2.2 cuft. blends in perfect with my front stage and i like this subwoofer then my 2 jl 12w6v2's and any other sub in the past. The RE SX 15 will be next. p.s. im giving it 1000 rms from a crossfire vr1000d with the gain at half way. |

Silver Member Username: Tdeaton1021Near Tampa, Florida USA Post Number: 759 Registered: Sep-04 | mo thats very valuable information to me lol how much louder do you think the avalanche is over the 2 12w6v2s? and if u dont mind could u give me the dimensions you made ur box to? i was going to make it 2.5cuft for more SQ but since the SQ is still there at 2.2 i;ll try that. and please specify if ts exterior dimensions or interior. and wether or not you used double thick baffle or just .75 inch. thanks alot |

Gold Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 3468 Registered: Jun-04 | Trevor my computer has been down so this is the first ive had a chance to see the results of your avalanch abc box. I admit as I have before my abc box wasnt without pluses and minuses either mine hit some notes excecptionally well and others not so well just like you. Ive basically come to the conclusion this isnt a daily user box but can be used for spl competition purposes. One thing you may want to try though that may improve things is suff some insulation inside your center port joining both chambers this may change things more to your liking if not you can remove it again. I didnt try this with my box becuase I cant the way it was built but you can. Im sorry this project didnt turn out like you hoped. Also this was designed with my program correctly it just seems the abc box some mysteries in my opinion that need to be understood. |

Gold Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 3469 Registered: Jun-04 | ps im also going to put my 6.5 tangbands in a new box probably .50 to 1.00 cf each ported and mount them in my back deck. I hope to hit more than my tangbands did in my abc boc 133 db would be nice this time. |

Gold Member Username: Thx_3417Post Number: 1236 Registered: May-05 | Trevor Eaton Just curious is there an image that you place on the post for all to see, also just how much did it cost you and how long have you been having this funny? Arr, yes technical specifications on it as well. Ashley |

Gold Member Username: Thx_3417Post Number: 1237 Registered: May-05 | Trevor Eaton Are you sure that over loading the input on the "AVALANCHE" I mean this sound's funny that you're having some difficulty with it, did you install this yourself, or was it the car Hi-Fi shop that did the installation alignment and calibration too?

Silver Member Username: Tdeaton1021Near Tampa, Florida USA Post Number: 795 Registered: Sep-04 | yes i installed it myself but with alot of research... and i hhave multiple images but i cant get them scaled down to fit on here yet. the box took me like 20 hours to build and 90 dollars... my new sealed box took me from like 430-930 today with dinner exceptions ... and they are both extremely sturdy and well built i assure you. thats why i dont get what went wrong.... |

Gold Member Username: Thx_3417Post Number: 1241 Registered: May-05 | Trevor Eaton Image, what's the model number of the amplifier, sure it's called "AVALANCHE." I'll find an image of her then, must I do everything LOL..... Ashley |

Gold Member Username: Thx_3417Post Number: 1246 Registered: May-05 | Trevor Eaton Man I do like the nature of sound and the recordings that can be made from it, but it' not possible to archive this with cinema or even car Hi-fi, an acoustical approximation sure, but as to the real thing.............. |
