Very nice setup Dupuis. I'd actually like something like that in my truck as well.

Thanks, all done for under $500 not including my labor.

 

Is that .5 cubes per??

 

Very clean Job! What do you think of it?

I'm pretty sure it's .5 for both

 

Thanks, yes .50 for both. Here is a review I posted on another site. Explains everything.

This is in a 2004 F-150 Lariat Super Crew. I did not want to mess up the look of the front console so I kept my stock 6 disc HU in place and used high to low line convertors. Surprisingly it ended up sounding very good. All I need.
Not much room under rear seat to work with. 6'' at the deepest point. I ended up with .50 cubs tuned to 35 Hz after all displacments. The port ended up being 3'' thin wall PVC aprox. 25.5'' long with one 90 de. turn in it. Not what is rec. for 2 RE8s, but thats all I could get in between the seat brackets. This started out as me just wanting to gain alittle bass. Well I got it and more.
These 8s are unbelieveable. Having competed in the mid 80s with 2 12s, I was blow away at what these little things put out. Because my box was so small for 2 RE8s ported, and not knowing how it would sound, I built 2 boxes, the other was .45 sealed. I tried that one first. Sounded good and I was very pleased, but when I put the subs in my ported box the out put gained was well jaw dropping. This in a .50 proted box how can it be. I was told here and by David at RE that it would be very hard to stop port noise and that my port would be to long for the size box that space would allow. I thought I would just give it a shot and WOW, WOW I sure am glad I did.
Bass is very tight and reaches very low. I hear notes that my 15'' home sub hits. All this with 2 RE8s. Needless to say, I am very happy with my install and would tell any one looking for bass with little areas to deal with to go with these little monsters.
The only other thing I am planning on doing is to upgrade my cheap 4 channel amp to an Avonixx 440.4 to match my other amp. I will stack both where my Avionixx is now.
Sorry so long. Just very pleased with the sound I ended up with.

 

SWEET! I hear ya on the ported sealed issue. I tried to like sealed time and time again but always end up with ports. That's cool it worked. Enjoy!

Btw, I saw your jack post when you put it up and tried to do it to mine. Guess what that spot is for on the 4X4, all the hydraulic crap for 4WD. I was bummed but made a spot for it in my enclosure. Good idea, too bad mine didn't work out.

 

That sucks, I guess having 4 wheel drive makes up for it.

Thanks. Yea, really amazing. And the best part is the subs are far from bottoming out at high levels.

 

Do you think i could have a copy of the plans you used making that box. If so could you e-mail me at M_brandl_@hotmail.com

PS Clean install looks great.

Thanks

 

Very very nice setup!!
In the past I've considered trying out some RE subs. I think I will on my next setup.

 

Nice job and nice equipment !!

 

Thanks, I have the measurements all over the place. If I get them all together I'll sent them on.

 

Thanks everyone. It took me awhile, but it's finally done and well worth the wait. All for under $500 not including my labor!!

 

I'm trying to get opinions on Avionixx. You own Dupuis. What do you think. Do you like it for bass? Do they put out their rated power cleanly? do you think it would make a decent amp for components or should I look elsewhere?

The Price sure is right...

 

I love mine, it's the 400.2 pushing 200w to each subs at 2 ohm. I never tested it, bit I have read that they do put out what they are rated. Very clean power to subs. Not sure for components. I know people that run them on componests with no problems. I plan on upgrading my 4 channel amp to an Avionixx 440.4 soon. They say not to mess with the "Cens" feature on them. No need to. I took mine apart and painted it to match my interior. They are light blue from the factory. Heres a link to their site.

When I was looking into amps, the main stream amps with the same ratings as my Avionixx had smaller fuse sizes on them and were not built as solid. To me, they are one of the best amps that you can get at that price.
Good luck.
