Title: My new 10" install
Post by: LeeUK on March 11, 2005, 20:23
I had quite fancied a little more bass for a while now, so I got an Alpine mono/bridgable amp and 10" Diamond Audio sub   s:D :D s:D  

I used a mixture of MDF and fiberglass (very itchy stuff!!) to make my box, also spacing the speaker from the box more with a ring of MDF and smoothed in with P38.  Finally covered with some black carpet!

Anyway heres the pics from the making and completion of my install.

That actually looks like a pretty good job Lee. What are you going to do with you Under Dash Sub?

Yeah there's a few hours work in that, I'm adjusting the crossovers etc tomorrow (dark now!)  I'm sure the 6" and 10" will work well together.

Definately a 10", looks bigger as I made a spacer and thus moved it out from the box.  Thats why it looks bigger in the pictures.  Anyhow I can't fault the system, the sub sounds amazing, the sound quality is great, not sure how loud it goes but it's definately loud enough!   s:shock: :shock: s:shock:   Just driven back from Chelmsford with the Sissor Sisters blasting out and it sounds FAB.  Spotted two MR2's aswell, neither waved back   s:? :? s:?
