Well i just got the new box built for my 15" RE HC. Turned out to be right at 6 cubic feet. I'll be getting another cadence z7000 and i'll be going to the shop to burp it and get it metered. Box is tuned to 47hz. With this setup i'm hoping to hit high 150s. Hopefully around 158ish. I'll let ya'll know what happens.

Looks great, are you gunna put carpet on the box or leave it as is or paint it?
 






I'll probably fiberglass the front to the shap I'm hopin to get with my cadence amps mounted on the top and on the sides.. Then I'll prolly sand it nice and smooth and paint it.
 






Sounds good!!
:thumbsup:
 






hmm

you meter yet?

i'm guessing mid/high 140s on any mic except an audio control, with only one cadence z7000
 






Well, just got home from getting metered.. Friend owns the shop and let me in late for a few test runs. With the cadence a7000 on the first pass I hit a decent 147.4.. With a few tweaks I made a second pass and hit 148.2... With the third pass I hit a 148.8 and made a pretty good size crack along the front baffle on the box.. :( I really need to get that sound deadener!!! I have 100sqft coming in hopefully this week that I'll get installed VERY soon.. Then, a friend hooked me up with 2 cadence a7hc and I made a final pass hitting 153.2 and a Ton of air spilling out of the box. With each amp pushing 1400w+ and a good box I think I could hit 155 pretty easily.. With the deadener installed I'm hopin for 157-158.. May get another HC or go with the new x.. and see what I hit with them. Hopefully all goes well next week and I'll be gettin metered again.. Now for the new box :D

PS: mic was an older termlab.. New ones are B*tches
