looks better now Cara, with two amps..lol, and great choice of equipment!!!.

hope you sorted the free air sub out, it was too loose in the sound off a few weeks ago. the baffle isnt right and needs to be sealed up better to control of the cone? a few simple and cheap tricks to make the woofer think it has a bigger box(tire well) and make it sound smoother hit harder??

Chris Rodgers and I are old installers ..lol, not just opening my mouth to waffle on.. so if you need help , you have my phone number. otherwise it looks nice much better then the old box hey!!!

yeah it looks killa thats for sure, we have enclosed it underneath now and it has a lot more punch to it thats for sure sounds alot better.....i will be trying to get it all tuned before old school n new age cause the have a sound off there too (they had one alst year, cant see why they wouldnt have one this year) hopefully i might be able to get it over 130 dB after its all tuned in properly

defenantly looks better!

I would never go free air,takes a very special kind of woofer to cope with it and give good results.

In my opinion you will get much much better results even if the woofer is in a small sealed enclosure , such as the spare tyre well and use there tricks that us installers know to fool the woofer into acting like its in a slightly larger enclosure then what its really in.

EDIT: dam you cara lol,u got in before i did haha. Last year i organised the term lab setup to be there for the autobarn store i was working for at the time. i dont know if they have organised it again this year but i can cirtanly find out for you.

can I offer some visual tips Cara, dont shoot me for this...lol but the mounting tabs/screw heads on the amps are ugly, and should be mounted under the amp or a floating look to enhance the lighting for shows, a persplex mount under the amps to grab the light from the LED's above ?

sorry I know you just had it done... it still looks better by a 1000%

Cara is that a port with the mesh on it? that would be the problem or part of it. for the sub flutter.

can I ask why they didnt use a sealed box sub ? and sealed up the spare tire well?
