mustang guy Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 If you want, you can perform a break in on that driver before you mount it in the box. "Run a 25 to 30 Hz tone through it, at 10 volts A/C, for 12 hours or so.", Bill Fitzmaurice You can break it in while in the box, but it will be LOUD.

CECAA850 Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 Looks great!!! Be sure you get some help carrying it up the stairs. It's certainly not a one man job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boomer76 Posted December 15, 2012 Author Share Posted December 15, 2012 Well all I've done is turn the dial up about a quarter of the way and watched the beginning of the dark knight..... Holy Moses !!! My son ran down the stairs and wife about filled her drawers.... As for me it punched me in the chest, and in the gut, and in the butt!!! Lol vey good bass response, very good sound in tight response and with big booms, only can imagine how much more this thing has in the tank!!! Will give a full response once I test it out more about the whole process, so far A+++ and +!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boomer76 Posted December 16, 2012 Author Share Posted December 16, 2012 Given the money I spent , about 700 bucks, I couldn't have made a better choice in building this sub, I haven't heard any other sub from a manufacturer come closeto the output of this sub, I could literarily blow the windows out of my house , which leads me to the point that a 300w amp is more than enough, save yourself 100 bucks...... Thanks to everyone on this forum steering me in the right direction.... Anybody second guessing themselves about building a sub should take it from me.... If I can do it, someone who has very little woodworking experience and just a good drill and tape measure.....you can do it too.... Save yourself 800+ dollars ...... Thanks again guys.... Ask me anything you guys want to know and I'll do my best to answer them.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeFord Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Congratulations on the build. Keep in mind the knob is not a power setting, it is a level of gain, how much an input signal is multiplied at the output, so 1/4 could be full power depending on the level of the signal you feed to it.
