Bass

Monday, August 4th, 2008

Finally got sick of the factory stereo system while driving back and forth to Flagstaff in the G35. I really wanted to keep everything stock (Bose isn’t that bad) but add some deep bass. I put my carpenter skills to test and built the box in about two hours. Very simple cube design and super small with about .78 cf volume for a 12″ sub. All that’s left is some carpet and I’m good to go. The 12″ Alpine Type R sub is powered by a 1000W Alpine Mono amp. We made the amp work by installing it in the wheel well. I swear it hits as hard, if not harder, than the twin 12″ Blue Thunders I had in my Stanza.

Sizing Her Up

I’m not sure who will end up winning this battle long term. The K-Dog is getting old and cranky… like her master. While Little MDub has plenty of piss and vinegar… like her dad. Come back for Round One coverage in the near future.
