I wish.

Its torn back apart again.

Belt snapped today on the alts. We were having problems with the subs not holding up with that much power(was kinda a concern from the start).

Selling all of the subs that were in there, and going with the DD 3515s, and I sold all of the Cadence amps, and am going with DD amps also.

If anyone needs one of those 15s, shoot me a PM on here, ill give ya a good price.

This isnt a one note wonder truck.

Far from it.

The 8 15 box played from like 17hz to 45hz, this new box plays from like 38hz to 55hz.

This is my daily driver, one and only.

So it doesnt make sense to make it a rolling burp machine

Yes.

No, new box. BIG *** box.

54cu.ft external.

2cu.ft sealed
6cu.ft ported PER SUB.

So the ported chamber will be a touch around 25cu.ft, motors will be in the ported chambers due to cooling advantages.

Yes, I split it 7inches.

Anyways, I sold all my Cadence amps... Time for some real power. 5400w @ 11.9v, 7k+ @ 14v. People have been clamping 8-9k out of them with no problems. I was only able to get like 2500w per Cadence C5 CLEAN(no clipping). So I needed something with more power behind it.





Incase anyone was wondering, thats 4GA wire going to the speaker terminals inside the amp.

Also going up to some bigger subs as well to handle the power.

Gonna start on my box here soon, probally within the next week or so.

Also soldered up some ring terminals for another run of wire to go to the back to help with the voltage.

Well, the truck is broken as of right now.

Somehow, BOTH the alternator bolts that hold up the factory alt, snapped in half.

Im playing hell trying to find new bolts.


On a side note, I got the new box design done.

Subs will be mounted upside down, to help with cooling, and it should look pretty badass as well.
