Next Enclosure Design

yeah it took a while for mine to get the way it is now, but will worth the wait

i got distracted by all the wiring stuff that came in so i did this

i ran the cable through the stock alternator fuse for now till i upgrade the alternator













but i still had time to do this ill take some better pictures when its light out again and i vacuum

 

Thanks!!

Heres some daytime shots

Still dont know what im going to do with the back yet, so dont mind the extra carpet

 

how do you mean? I have all the joints and crevasses sealed with liquid nails? Is there something else i should do, thats all ive ever used if so ha?

 

ahh didnt know that, i suppose i could figure something out, i got the gaps on the top and bottom in the middle, and a few inches where the windows are

 

had to replace the 180 amp circuit breaker i got for the old setup, it wont cut it anymore, and got the rest of my box terminals

 

I got a question, Im gonna get the alpine type-r 15s, 750w rms, but alpines biggest amp is 2000w rms @ 2 ohm, now i know they wouldnt be as loud as they could be only giving them 500w each, but... should i do that, OR get 2 of the alpine amps run then at 2000w at 2ohm and turn the amp down , OR... would it be better to run 2 of them at 4 ohms at 1500 w which would be perfect (on paper)

with running 2 amps though, they are 180 amps each, and i read that 1/0 wire is rated at ~350 amps? and i think you can only get fuses at 300amps, so i would have to run 2 seperate wires for each amp?

Sooo only running 1 amp would be the easiest thing to do, perhaps ill just get the one amp and if it doesnt seem as loud as it should then ill contemplate getting a second? Im not gonng be taking this thing to competitions or anything, but i dont wanna not get my moneys worth of the speakers.\

Anyone know if the alpine amps are usually rated too high or too low to what they actually put out in some situations?

 

ah yeah good point id needs 2ohm speakers if i did 2 amps, didnt think of that.

eh, well i think ill stick with the original plan of the 4 subs going to one amp, and if i think the amps not powerfull enough ill just look into getting a better one even though i wanna stick with one brand, and sell the alpine one.

and thanks for the info tommy, i was hoping that a good company like alpine wouldnt overrate their products.

 

all the specs im seeing, even on the picture of their catalog says 3000 @ 1ohm and 2000 @ 2 ohm BUT also theres a picture on their catalog that shows a wiring setup, it shows one sub bridged at 2 ohms and says that its would be getting 3000 watts?

im lost
