Tight Space For Tight Bass

well those eDi comps are $40 and the amp $80...

 

I now present to you the jumbled mess which is my mind:

So I've had my amp up for sale or trade for a while. A guy has been nibbling on it and offered a trade for it tonight. He has 4 e3.6 D4s he is willing to trade for my amp. I have to make sure I can get everything to fit before I pull the trigger, but should I even pull the trigger? I have a job but won't get paid for a couple of weeks and I know my front stage is weak and I'd have to get another amp, but would the trade off be equal? Is there a 4 channel amp out there that can push these 4 subs (around 100 RMS apiece would be fine) and push a set of comps that won't break the bank and will fit under the front seats or might it be better to get separate amps?

 

Ok so we made a deal for 2 of the subs and cash for my amp. I think I still want to eventually go with 4 in a sealed box approx 1.0 cu. ft., what do you guys think about that? Too small maybe?

 

So I think I'm going to be getting this project on here fairly soon. Just need some final thoughts on equipment.

What I have:
(2) eD 3.6s

What I propose getting:
PowerBass L-60CX Comps
or
JBL GTO607C Comps
and
PowerBass ASA400.4X Amp

Which comps do ya'll think would be better?

 

Well JBL it is. Ordered everything and anxiously awaiting to get this project under way.

 

that is very true. if shops were reasonable around here i would do business with them, but so far every shop has been fairly biased towards pushing a product and outrageously priced. i still have some planning to do with the wait so it's all good haha.

 

It's like Christmas at my house. FedEx man came and then about 5 minutes later the UPS man showed up. I'll get pics of everything up soon.

I have one question about mounting the comps. Should I mount them in the stock place (behind the door), on the door (where the JBL grille will show), or just make a baffle to get them as close to the original grille and mount in the stock location?

 

Yeah that's what I went with. I put the JBL grilles on but I think they are causing some interference with the door panel so tomorrow I'm going to take the grilles off and solidly mount the crossover.

I am very pleased with how the comps sound off just the HU. I had to rethink the wiring on the amp (I originally wanted to rewire the door but decided that running wire through the rubber boot was going to be too much of a PITA), but I got it all figured out now, just gotta make time to wire everything to it and keep it hidden.

 

Dang! These JBLs really came to life with some power, I can keep my radio around 25/66 and hear everything. I have all the wiring and the amp hidden, will get some pics tomorrow for you guys. I still gotta build a box for the subs and I am still debating on what type of box. The age old question is ported or sealed? I have ~1ft^3 for the two e3.6s. I'm leaning more toward the side of SQ for this setup but I'd still like to show off some. Right now I'm thinking I may just build one of each and see which sees more playing time, thoughts? If ported what might you guys suggest as far as tuning?

 

I have no clue how to build a t-line, but i like a challenge. My dimensions are 32 x 6.5 x 12, where do I start?
