Nothing too special about the box, old pics, dust has been cleaned off the speakers. Box has been turned to face inside of the car now too.

 

Okay something i would like to ask looking at that, by the looks of it the three subs are not in different chambers correct? expecially with mixing sub let alone even when you don't i always recomend different chambers for each sub so you can gaurntee there working on there own and not fighting or getting fought by the others. I still think you should either try and find the one missing sub or go down to two, what do you think/want the most?

 

The subs are parallel, running together so from my understanding shouldn't be chambered separately. There's a lot of bass currently, and quite loud, probably can be louder/heavier bass with an amp that can push them even harder. Right now I play safe on volume for lengths of time, knowing it makes the amp shut off sooner if played at a higher volume.

So current box, all 3 subs are playing in unison and shouldn't be fighting each other.

What I want the most, I want loud and sound quality too, so having bass right now, I want to equal things out and bring the highs up in the front end, since bass currently cancels out alot of the highs due to how loud the bass is.

what i'm saying though is that by running two different makes of subs there's no gaurntee that they are running in unison, who's to say the same amount of power moves one more then the other the only way to gaurntte that is with the same subs. even if they were all the same i would still chamber them different, but that's just my oppinion.

 

I'm curious why you turned the box around....they generally work better facing the rear....

All that cone area is helping with the bass volume, but it will not be as accurate because you are mixing subs not just playing the same frequencies, but sharing a common airspace. Ditching the odd ball and putting the other 2 in a good ported enclosure will probably give you back most of the volume but will sound better. It will also help your amp, no point in blowing it up running it at a load it can't handle.

With that kind of a budget, I would suggest a decent pair of 6.5" coaxes or components and an amp (50-100W/channel is fine) will make a big difference to your sound. Deaden the doors, build a new box and you'll still have most of your money in your pocket.....

New front speakers, properly amplified and set-up will help with your bass. Stronger mid-bass up front makes the system sound better.....

HTH

 

Thanks for the advice everyone. Hmm, here I was thinking that the speakers facing into the car would make for better sound. I'll try turning it around again and see if I notice which sounds better. It's a bit of a trick turning the box around.

wHAT DID YOU DECIDE ON TIM?

 

Well,
Started with turning the box today, and it does sound better.

Ok, well, a hiccup in the funds I had to use towards obtaining things, but back on track now. (sale of something that almost fell through) I've had suggestion on some Morel Tempo components, and an Exile mono amp, model S1000.1

Morel component speakers for front sound like good choice. Unsure about the amp. I've been thinking back on my old school days, and pondering to get a decent PPI art series amp (Promos if I can) to run the subs, get a good component 6.75" speakers to replace factory ones in front and run those off the Phoenix Gold amp. I think that would make for a decent sounding system. It wouldn't be competition material, but should sound quite good and loud.

Realized I made mistake about the two 10" subs in my first post, they are Pyle Pro, not sure why I was thinking a completely different name. Doh!

 

Good comps up front and the PG amp sound like a nice front stage.....for what you might pay to get the Promos in good shape there are a lot of choices in new 1 or 2ohm mono sub amps......

Are you going to re-do the sub enclosure or leave it as-is for now?

Sending a PM....

 

I don't mind new for an amp for the subs, and that's probably where I'd prefer to put most of the money? May leave the box for now at least. I think my system may always be a work in progress anyways.

The subs just need something that will drive them better, maybe with some more power and obviously stable to 1Ohm.
