2012 Rebuild including Audio

This is the main attraction. Its what i've been into for years...STREETBASS...and lots of it). It comprises of a huge 22cuft wall tuned to 35Hz. It houses 3x Orion HCCA 15.2" subs which are considered to be some of the best subs in the country at the moment. They are powered by 6x Solid Audio f 2500d amplifiers which produce an amazing 5000 watts RMS to each sub.

The enclosure is whats called a "flat wall" design. It works by sealing the front cabin off completely from the back of the car so that the subs can only work in that space..a smaller cabin usually means more air build up and more air displacement....hence more bass in the front. This particular wall has a large port (32" x 8.5") The bigger port enables the subs to breathe nicely and create more bass without any port noise. The walls of the enclosure are between 54mm and 108mm thick plus 3 layers of fibreglass all around the inside of the box. The fibreglass makes the box incredibly strong and prevents any kind of air leaks. 5mm thick steel angle iron has been used to strengthen the corners and front and rear faces of the enclosure. It has also been used to strengthen the port top and bottom to prevent port flex. The enclosure itself is built to every side of the car meaning no box or car flex at all. Any sort of flex in the box, car panels or the port will mean a quieter system. The box has also been strengthened with 3x 12mm zinc plated steel rods running from front to back. These reduce box flex as the subs try to push the rear of the box away from the front when under load.
