NicholasJohnson 12 Report post Posted October 12, 2011 (edited) This is going to be my first real build in this truck =D Its a 1981 Ford F100 with a tiny space behind the seat. Right now I have some super cheap subs i got used before I knew much about car systems so now im going to be installing a 12" Dcon in a custom box designed by Bromo! I will post some pictures of current setup and then more when I start making the box.

NicholasJohnson 12 Report post Posted October 12, 2011 lolol yes very custom the story behind that is the guy who had the truck before me put in a tape player (when that was the new big thing) and had to make it fit somehow so now it just looks lovely but everything fits just fine in there right now but i could make it look nicer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bum 4 Report post Posted October 17, 2011 Needs more power and his custom box from Bromo built! did he get the s4's or the dual 4 ohm coil? and if he got the s4's is his amp bridgeable to one channel? if it is he should have goten just one s4 coil sub and bridged it? or can he just do it? for some reason if he has a bridgable amp i do not think he will need two subs i think one is perfect for him. output will be better in ported then two sealed. i think. any ways think about it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bum 4 Report post Posted October 18, 2011 liked the video thanks good tuneing job sounds clean on my net book mic. to bad i do not got the home theater to listen to it threw here. any ways talk to emery see if that sub or amp can handle the amp bridged to the sub i am assuming you got either a s4 or d4 coil for the dcon if it is a s4 you may be able to bridge it to get more power out of it. that why i said get the s4 you only will need one sub for sound quality. it will be even louder in the ported box. that were i think you will only need one. if it is a d4 all you need is a amp. i got one but it smells smokey and don't want to sell it to you cause of it. i got it on e bay for 115 nib mite have been refurb nib who knows.

NicholasJohnson 12 Report post Posted October 18, 2011 The sub is just off to the side, enough room for third gear lol and its a dual 4 so i will probably look into getting a better amp in the near future Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bum 4 Report post Posted October 18, 2011 i have a us amps/ re audio xt 2000d i mite be willing to get rid of mfg rated at 150 x 1 at 4 ohm 300 x 1 at 2 ohm and 1000x1 at 1 ohm. it puts out. but i am just worried casue it smells smokey. wish i had the money right this second to ship it to you for free i would give ya the amp free too. i got 15 bucks right now to my name lol's till i can get paid. i am wondering if that $15 would cover shipping to ya. i just don't know if it would . if so i would have to dig up the recipet on e bay and find the remote bass knob for it and the booklet does not have a box any more tossed it. i do got money just don't want to touch it cause it saved for a car. lol's. i could try usps shipping. pm me if you want it. it works i just got to dig up the e bay recipet. and pay for the shipping.

Emery.H 102 Report post Posted October 18, 2011 It's dual 4 ohm, wired down to 2 ohm in the box, bridged at the amp for i believe about 200 watts? In the new box he will have the ability to wire each coil to a chanel that is rated 185x2 at 4 ohm each. Wiring like that and the ported box will be a nice improvement Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
