Bronze Member Username: NathanscottSan Antonio, TX United States Post Number: 16 Registered: Aug-05 | It is 1.8 tuned to 32hz. All of the port corners are beveled cut and 45 degree pieces were installed in the corners. I am now in the process of designing an amp rack. |

Bronze Member Username: NathanscottSan Antonio, TX United States Post Number: 18 Registered: Aug-05 | Oh and I am very very pleased with how it sounds. It hits very low with only 1/2 the RMS. I plan on eventually going with 3, but still purchasing some things. I just dropped almost 200 at KnuKonceptz yesterday. |

Bronze Member Username: NathanscottSan Antonio, TX United States Post Number: 19 Registered: Aug-05 | Thanks guys for your comments. I have been silently reading this forum for about 2 years. I was pretty big into the audio thing in the early 90's and you guys have caught me up on a lot of things. |

Bronze Member Username: NathanscottSan Antonio, TX United States Post Number: 22 Registered: Aug-05 | Thanks so much for all of the comments!! I have been so silent because most of my questions get answered by others so all I had to do was search and plus gave me some reading to do at work. It is a 4 door Dodge and am about to trade it in about 6 months for a Tahoe. I was collecting this audio stuff for it, but couldnt wait so I took out the back seat because no one rides back there any way. I really wanted to go with the Arc Audio for starters because I am getting a pretty good deal on it. Sorry to be so quiet for so long...you all are a good group of guys!! Wait until the amp rack is completed!! |

Silver Member Username: Goodie_goopMidland, Texas U.S. Post Number: 147 Registered: Oct-06 | man, everything looks pretty much perfect how long did it take you to finish that box? |
|
Bronze Member Username: NathanscottSan Antonio, TX United States Post Number: 27 Registered: Aug-05 | It only took about 8 total hours of build time. Most of the time was spent waiting for glue to dry overnight. It only took about 45 minutes to cut all of the boards, angle cut the ports, and the 45's. I had to wait until my next days off before I could start cutting the poishing the aluminum trim around the port. I also had to build a panel to fit under the box to cover up the storage compartment. |

Gold Member Username: Mikechec9Post Number: 2518 Registered: May-05 | Aw man. Excellent Work!!! I'm mostly impressed with the build quality of the box. I've done some jobs, but still haven't been brave enough to tackle a ported enclosure. When I build up the gall, I hope I'm as successful as you. Sweet job  What's up with the front stage? What did you decide to do there? |

Bronze Member Username: NathanscottSan Antonio, TX United States Post Number: 30 Registered: Aug-05 | I still need to get an amp for the front stage. I sent you an email Mike so see if you could help me out with that. Did you get all of your install completed?? |

Bronze Member Username: NathanscottSan Antonio, TX United States Post Number: 31 Registered: Aug-05 | I got your email. Thanks for trying to look out. I have been looking at the Tahoes and man do I like them. Maybe soon I will get one. I have to start saving after all the system components are done. I have been trying to get everything before I drop the cash on a Tahoe so I am not spending the money after I get the new ride. Again, thanks for the comments and I will post pictures of the install if I get the Tahoe. |
