Post Number: 6554 Registered: Mar-04	Posted on Friday, July 25, 2008 - 23:58 GMT Well, I've had this Alpha 10" since Scrapin' the Coast but have not had the time to build a box yet. This week I built 3 boxes for the shop, so I while I was on the table saw I went ahead the cut out alil box for the Alpha. I'm still up here at the shop about to router the box and drop the lil fella in I'll hook it up to the Autotek SS1900.1 in the soundroom and do a little listening test. I'll also be running it in my truck for a week or so while I work on my new 3-3515 box. Pics and vids of the 10" coming soon.

Wall was a failure...only 150.5dB. But it would do that # at any freq from 42hz to 65hz. And anywhere in the cab. Doors open or closed, headrest, kick, dash...ANYWHERE. The 3-3515 box did 154.2 @ 53hz.

It is now a doghouse...lol. On to the Alpha: I ran into alil glitch. So no review for now Here are a few pics though... Its a tight squeeze. Had to fish the wires around. Alpha 10" vs DD2510
