go freaking figure!!! ~.^
not only do you have my favorite headunit you have one of my favorite boxes too
i had that exact same style box with 2 12" pioneer premier 800'*..the design on that box is simple but impressive as far as the fact you dont really expect it to hit as low as it does
nice system dude..have you tried seeing what kinda SPL'* your hitting?

I didnt know u had a prefab box.. Looks nice and clean. But.... I got you beat, hehehe. subs are dual 2 ohm? 500 rms each? wired to 2 ohm? amp puts out how many watts rms at that impedance?
I thought for sure my sub was failing tonight. I wired the sub up to 4 ohms, and adjusted my gain, so i popped the trunk to see how it was all working. I pressed pause and pushed the sub in and out by hand and it made a knocking feeling and noise, almost like the voice coil had become detached from the cone.
So i took the sub out of the box and brought it inside. when i took the sub out i released half of the screws have been pulled right out of the box. Talk about feeling relieved. sub was fine as far as i can tell. sub was coming right out of the box.

It was my fault... I have taken that sub out of the box several times, and always reused the same holes cause i didnt want to mess the wood up on the mounting service. Time to rotate the sub a little and start new holes and yes... use better screws.

I might use the philips head bolts with the spiked backings/inserts. That way i can reuse the same holes forever. I take my sub out often, so that might be a good idea

Maybe I'm just getting old or something but I don't like setups like that anymore. I used to have one in my Camaro, but now i can't stand when I hear a car coming from a mile away. I want a sub just for low end, but nothing like that.

My subs are dual 4'*, wired to 1 ohm, amp does rated power (1500rms) @ 12.6v, my voltage goes no lower than 13.5. I'm not sure what that calculates out to but it'* over 1500rms. Subs are rated at 600rms. How do you have me beat? I guarantee your single 15 isn't louder than my 2 12'*. I have more power than your and more cone area
Yeah, different strokes for different folks.
