I have finally got around to starting work on the new boot install in the EB. I have got the subs in and running and still have to do the tidy up work and a good clean.
Oh and i have to turn the responce tag around on one of the amps still too. |

That will go pretty hard, i Have some response gear and think it is very underated!
How does your box go for volume size? i Would think with 3 12'd it would be bigger? Did you make the box yourself? |

Volume is a little under size i think, I made the box to fit in the back neatly without going overboard, cause i still need a bit of boot space to carry stuff. The box was originally only housing 2 x 12" woofers but with a bit of modding it now houses the three.
It sounds very nice, Tight and punchy, the way i like it. They are running of the responce 1500wrms sub amp, However with the wiring config i could only do with 3 dual 4ohm coils, it is only running at 2.6ohms instead of 1 ohm where the amp makes its best power. |

I think that the 12's give a better sound then the 15's, More punch then rumble. I am in the middle of fitting the 7" screen into the front of the consol at the moment, will post pics up when im done. |

Got the system all finished now, Will get pics tomorrow afternoon and post up. After all my tuning i managed to get 143.0db out of it. I am however getting a bit of cancelation cause that reading is with the boot open and with it closed i only get 138db.
I will have to build a new parcel shelf and there is the hole where the 8" sub would normally go still there which i think is causing some of it. |

Here are a few more pics of the system finished for now. I still want to do a custom parcel shelf yet, But that will be down the track a bit.
We only have one of the dbm-2 meters that you can get from caraudioaustralia.com web site. Cheap but it does the job. |

Gees you must work for jaycar like i do.. LOL..
Now i understand why your db reading was so high.. minus a minimum of 6 db (i have seen them read upto 20db higher) from that reading to give u a close approximation of wat u would get with a termpro db meter.. this is wat they use at competetions, etc.. Install Looks great.. Cheers, Nik

Yep i sure do, And besides that the quality of the responce gear is great anyway. I would still run it even if i didnt work there. I am going to go to a sound off in cairns soonish to get a real reading from there meter. They have a new meter that has pressure pads that go on the screen that they got from the states and cost them somewhere around $6000 mark. So then i will have a better idea of how inaccurate our meter is.

Let me start by saying that im not a huge fan of big systems (i used to be but lost interest) but the standard of finish that i have seen on members systems in this club is excellent. Slayer351, well done it looks great.
