as some of you know i have been working on my new subs for the whole summer...its hard to find time when working and going to swim practice...but here it is(pics and VIDEO).
they are 3 8" Tang Band subs. out to 4ohms. with a POS 200watt crunch amp(will be getting a RockF soon)
i absolutly LOVE these subs! would put them up against all my buddies 10s and 12s...the have the largest deprivation(or x-max) out of any 8" in the world. they can move alot of air QUICKLY!!
the box if FULLY MDF with glued, and screwed joints...cocked from the inside. spent a ton of time painting and it turned out pretty good! it is sealed and fits the interior of the back and side walls perfect...some of the boards are cut at 2% to get the most out of the small space. and finaly the box is bolted to the floor using the existing floor holes. and the subs are BOLTED into place by the way if you are wondering why i only used 4 bolts. and everything was put together using gaskets made of foam paper.

i ordered some LED bulbs that should be here by the weekend and i will be lighting them from under the magnets with rings of them..(sounds lame..but the way im doing it..it should turn out well)

 

nice job man looks good, even though u have those wires exposed it looks good like that!

 

ya thats the look i was going for. maybe i could snap some up close pics to show how the wires go.

 

yea normally wires showing looks slack but the way you have it ran looks neat and not...shortcutted i guess is the word im looking for. looks good and btw how do you like your touchscreen? no offense but i wouldnt ever consider buying a dual but i have seen a few lately and they look like they have came a long way. pioneers are about 500 on ebay where the duals are about 350, so i guess the question im asking is if you had it to do over again would spend the extra coin or would you save and go with the dual again?

 

my thoughts exactly before i got it as a present!! but actually it is GREAT!!!!! i love it! the only problem is the software not the unit! and the software isnt even that bad! the iPod integration software has a few hickups but overall it is great! and the bluetooth is superb! and i have had it for 2 years comming up this christmas

 

I picked up a Jensen a couple of years ago for a little over 300. Haven't had any problems with it.

 

damn i wish someone would give me that as a present lol, would make my desicion a lot easier

 

haha. the jensen runs the exact same software! i plan on getting an amp to run my door speakers so the headunit wont get so hot though
