That's not entirely true. 2009 I use a golf and got loud. As les will confirm its all about how much work you put into it and if you're willing to try different. Enough of me saying anything more as I don't know anything about spl. C'mon Les, do yo thang bruddah

 

Teach me how to get loud.

I am a newbie to the sport. I got a bunch of gear and I am getting my car in 2 weeks so will be starting my build then. I've done many installs already and built many simple ported boxes. How do I get a loud trunk? I have 2 12" Incriminator Audio Death Rows, Two US Amps Merlin MD2D's that are 1500w RMS each, gunna get a big XS battery under the hood and one in the trunk. Gunna do the big 3, HO alt.

Basically I got everything down except box design. Not sure what will be loud and low. I'm looking for a loud daily setup and want to tune it to around 32-36 hz to get the low lows

The vehicle is a Toyota aristo so its kinda a difficult car to work with with the gas tank between the rear seats and trunk but the rear deck drops into the trunk so it shouldn't be too bad.

Any suggestions to start would be great.

 

I would start by explaining basic testing....this is where ive seen the biggest issue for most spl'ers.

 

exactly! one of the first things should be teaching how to NOT burp for more than a couple seconds and always charge between burps, with a cooling interval.

 

these are 2 very important things ppl take for granted. dB Don posted a very usefull sheet for testing amp power ... recommend using that also along with SPL output

 

Good thread.

Videos, Pics, Powerpoint Presentations all go well together. Theere should be a Weekly skype or live confrence call between splers to get the info passed on about testing, tuning, progresses, Qs and A's..


Have fun!

 

not only this could be educational but it could also be done with style, runway style that is. bring it on SPL model.

 

Les you should start with a sealed box and go from there.

first just port it randomly, then tune the port, then change box size, etc in whatever order. do it with a small amp as well, something like 2,000 watts or less.

i'll film if you want.

 

That would be cool with skype, I would definitely be interested in that.

 

We could add on an ask a judge segment at the end of every episode!
