Yea just go to a electrical store and pick up a plastic compression gland. Its the same thing some car audio companies sell as firewall grommets.

What you planning on doing, may I ask?

stackedPWM20

kavaninho

turn down the gain

kavaninho

parts express and madisound has a lot to offer for beginner and even extreme builds.

kavaninho

And then there was this one time, this one guy, ran this one DD sub and it played 30Hz superb, but this one 29Hz sine wave .........meh

OP the DD 510 is great and can definitely hit low and loud with little power.

kavaninho

image dynamics also have a nice low powered sub as well. the key here is going ported. 150 watts is enough for a good rumble.

kavaninho

you should look into upgrading the head unit if you want to use an amp

kavaninho

get 2 pairs of coax for the doors and a single 4 ohm sub with a low power rating ,around 200 watts or so. A mazda 3 rear deck usually rattles the hell out any time a sub is added.

is it the stock deck you're using?

kavaninho

What about the digital designs X1?
Anybody ever tried it?

kavaninho

^^ Yes, you now researched something that is the closest to correct there. Although, there are many reputable foreign forums people still posts Tartar.

And BTW I run approximately 150Wrms on my tweets comfortably.

kavaninho

just so you know, dacron is not good at maintaining combustion but is still flammable.

BTW I like how you mounted the crossover, nice!

I have a roll of electrical tape and a jigsaw. I name "installer".

^^ So essentially that is just a high pass filter connected to your HF driver. However that is not a full passive system. The downside to what you have done is that the LF driver cannot be low passed. Most of the time that can be a real pain to tune it right, as there may be a spike from where horn ...

kavaninho

3. If you think you need to charge more than $1000-1150 to build a subwoofer box for a hilux then you are wrong. A competent installer with simple woodworking tools: table saw, jigsaw, router, and brad nailer; should be able to design and assemble a box like that in less than one hour ...... less i...

Nigel, my amp rack has never failed me, neither have I ever questioned the quality of your work. You have always been an exemplar to me in the audio hobby, even way before I started competing. I have said that many times. I simply came to show, that a pro installer, can too, make terrible mistakes....

Why all this beat up about deadening still going on here. With deadening people have different views of how much should be applied and how it should be placed. Remember people believe 25% coverage is all that is needed. I will always stick to my DIY installs just for the sake of learning. If i had t...
