We love pics. Did you happen to take any during the build phase? Also where are you located at? Someone might be reasonably close enough to come take a listen.

 

I Live in Ottawa Illinois about an hour and twenty minutes southwest of Chicago. As for pictures , I didn't take any.all I have are a bunch of cardboard templates.

 

Looks nice, I love custom built stuff from members who do it themselves. Nicely done.

I disagree.

W7s:




12" SI Mag v3:

 

Yea it's hard to actually come out and say a setup can't be beat. Too many variables out there that say otherwise. I thought it was funny last time someone said that then showed a video of their remote barely shaking on the dash.

 

makes total sense when you explain it that way. and as far as me asking for plans for it i guess it comes down to a few things i work 40 hours a week and then some and its now starting to get cold around here and i dont have any place to work with out standing in a blizzard in the near future im sure. And second of all this is my first pick up so i really havnet been able to play around with the area under the seat very much nor have i had the drive to really dive in to the area much either i guess.

 

Say what you will but I would bet they sound every bit as good as those w7's sealed. Im not dissing anyone I am just saying you can have any subs you want w7's mag's any of them but that doesn't meen they sound good .Top dollar doesn't always meen top sound.So for the money I stand by what I said can't be beat.Super clean as in not firing straight into the floor or the seat pan yet hits harder than any sealed tens I have ever heard.Maybe I should have stated for the money cant be beat.

 

remotes vibrating on the dash = a good setup?

 

What kind of front stage are you running? When it come to "clean" its not about which direction they are firing, but can you make them disappear into the soundstage? The mag is the second best subwoofer i've heard when it comes to this...

 

I have heard good things about the mags . What I was trying to say is there is no disturbance either from the seat pan , seat springs ,or the sound deadening seat padding.And obviously a box with a sub firing directly into sheet metal covered in more padded carpet is not the best way to go ,SQ wise anyway.My downfire boxes sounded like they banged but by loading the floor there was a lot of unwanted rattles. I just didnt get the clean pounding output I was after. I am not dissing anyone ,if what you have works ,bang it.

 

Sounds good. I was focusing more on the rest of your system. What speakers are you running? Where are they mounted, and what kind of amplifiers for everything?

 

After watching guys with dollars to burn settle on the Mags I was sold on SI.

 

I gotta check em out. People do seem to be happy with them.

 

hey steve funni u point out the downfire into the carpet lol...my subs fire down, then i did dynamat,and i was happy
on the pax side where the 2 holes are for the jackstand the carpet lifted up slightly when the subs hit, so i got flatmetal, dynamated that too and put it between my carpet and subs to resolve that issue , sounds a bit better..as for the 10 se's would u know how much power they take in? how deep are they? my cvts will blow one of these days i can tell, the voice coil is not ok....and i was planning on running one re 10 ported under my seat....and really neat setup u got props on that!

 

Do those setups require seat lifts?

 

The mounting depth is like 6.75 and the will take the rated 600 watts rms all day.Someone was wondering what amps/mids and highs I was running . I was running audioque amps (very pleased with the audioque amps)now I am running US amps md-2d to the subs and md4-3 to the doors which currently are rf power (not very please with the rf mids/highs).I plan on changing those out. I do have a LMI welding 2.25'' seat lift. Good idea with the dynamat definately. Those w7's are awesome have you thought about a nice ported box. I would like to hear that!
