Anyway, i just got back into car audio recently and been out of the loop since high school.
so of course i made some mistakes. first off i didnt know bandpass was out. lol, purchased that Qlogic dual 12" bandpass and after a while, got rid of it. i first got a JLaudio W1 and sealed box at local shop and decided it wasnt enough, when i got the punch 600.1 amp, i thought it wouldnt handle it so i got the W3 sub and is why i have 2 bastard subs. their both 4 ohm so think i'll just sell those and get a single W3 2 ohm and just keep it in the Qlogic box shown in pics.
the qlogic box is both vented or sealed and it definitly hits alot harder vented. packed some polyfill in it and temporarily put my W1 in an old sealed box.
second mistake was to get rid of my factory 6x9's and replaced them with infinity's and an Alpine T220 amp....sounds the same as it did factory!!:bang:
built the amp raq from 1/8th birch, all the wires, preamp, isolators are behind it and is a mess.
my entire trunk is coated with truck bed liner to prevent rattling and works 100%, no rattles inside or out even at full volume...thats saying alot considering how many horrible rattling trunks i hear from other cars going by.
head unit and door speakers are still factory, does the job and i guess doesnt tempt would be theives looking in, overall atm its really loud and hits hard, so hoping to save some space and that a single 2ohm sub will work the same but i'm sure the combination of sealed and ported is making a unique sound of its own.
