Tacoma Audio Endeavor

Very nice!! Now since you have all this free time you can build me a box Iv only been waiting for like 3 months. The Bm is starting to collect dust.

 

Shoot me a PM with dimensions and stuff and I'm sure we can get you straightened out.

 

thats one sick setup man! i've built normal mdf boxes for cars, but damn that is legit! can i order a setup please? haha

 

pure sex

 

lol, thanks. I'm working on adding a processor but I think the one they sent me is kinda crazy. Sent it back and waiting on the result so I can tie all these things together!

(under passenger seat)

 

Wow great job!!!

 

Here's a question I've been meaning to ask: with a deadened car, does it matter which direction the subs face. I've seen custom boxes where they fire down, others towards the windshield, towards the back, etc. In a perfect world, how would you face the subs?

 

what HU are you going with, or going to go with? Very nice setup btw!

 

It depends. In my "perfect" world I'd have a sub that could play dead flat to 0hz but obviously nothing can. Assuming I didn't need to load the wave off something like a rear trunk wall (sedan) I'd fire the cone and the port right at the listener.

That being said, in a double cab tacoma, it wont make a difference. Point it whichever way is easiest.

I ended up going with the Eclipse AVN726e. I did a review on it in another thread. Here is the vid...

I wanted to go with that HU, but when I inquired about ordering, everyone said they were discontinued and I couldn't find a good enough price on them. Instead i went with the DNX9960, been pretty happy with, but def. paid more than i should've.

 

I'm new to the forums (and to trucks in general) and I came across your awesome build. Great job!!!!!!!!

In fact, I think I may copy your under the seat sub setup.

What configuration did you wire your subs since I don't think your amp will handle a 1ohm load?

And how does the MS-8 sound? I have an Audison BitOne.1 from my last install, but I have been thinking about selling it and getting the MS-8 since people have been raving about how great it auto-tunes their systems...

 

Some things are about to change later today. I'll update with some pictures when I get everything going.

 

......... I'll be waiting!!

^lol, sorry you guys...I've been slacking today. I left my tools at my apartment earlier so I didn't get to put this in when I thought I would. I'm about to walk out into the garage and get it all setup. Pics to come!*




*if it works

 

Holy shit you are one knowledgeable SOB, awesome job man, very ipressed

 

^Thank you sir.


Sorry to do this to you guys but you're not gettin pictures tonight. The camera does NOT like low light situations and my garage light at my apartment is pretty damn crappy. So rather than posting crappy pictures tonight and putting up better ones tomorrow let's just wait till morning.


I will state that I'm VERY pleased with the sound. No tuning yet and it's already light years ahead of what I had before.

 

Pictures please!!!

 

Ok ok...I'll get my butt outside. Gimme a few min!
