Nice to see youngsters having their shit together. Most can't even pick up a broom around the house, even less of a chance them operating tools. Keep up the good work
Thanks! 👍 I am making a bunch of changes to build coming soon and a demo video should follow! Check out the ending of part 2 or 3 to see a sneak peak of what they do!
Idk if this is playing or not but small suggestion. Inside your port put a dowel peg or some sort of brace. I find on these types of layouts having the port so wide leaves the ability for the port to flex when playing. Especially with the amount of cone area you have with 18’s more air flow makes more port velocity causing a chuffing or a loud vibration noise that down the road can beat up the wood or especially mdf. If this happens in the future I’d start there
Definitely couldn’t hurt, that’s why I added the bracing on the inside. If I was running a bit higher power 18s I think that definitely would be a necessary addition. Chuffing shouldn’t be an issue, I would assume the port area recommends by Skar are made to account for the max air velocity created by the sub.
I’ve had a set of evl 15’s on 8k for an extended period of time and personally had an experience with said issue. And I don’t mean the brace on the wall you put in I mean at the end of the port opening inside the box
Dude I literally have the same setup! Except not really lol. I got a single evl 18 d2 wired to 1 ohm on a SIA 2500! In a 4.25 cb in sported box with a 43in port with about 55sq in area. In my Subaru Forester, with foam and sound deadening mat as well. Sounds great for now but will double up the sub and amp in the future with a new box obviously!:) but still kinda crazy you got the same setup except a 3500 amp. But it should sound great! I love how the amp doesn’t drop a lot of wattage which box rise! The alps sure are power hungry! Even with the vent fan it still gets hot. Haven’t finished your video yet but hope you get your wiring and battery upgraded! What did you tune your box to? Looks like a short port? What’s the are of the port?

Dope channel! I looked high and low for another CX9 with bass and couldn't find anything until you. I have a 2013 I will be putting a single Sundown Xv3 15 and a Salt 3 amp.
We’re did you get the blueprints for that box and what’s it tuned to and on the off chance can I have the build sheet for the box I’d love to build that
I made the plans for the box based on how everything fit in my car, I dont have the plans anymore but I do know the box is 9ft^3 ported, box is tunned for 31hz, and 111in^2 for the port area. These are all based on the doubling the recommmended box spec on skars website.👍🏼
@@blakebaertlein8211 i really wish you still had the blueprints kinda bummed but now I’m thinking about putting two evl18s in my truck now so thanks for the good idea lol
I have a 400 amp high output alternator along with the 3 batteries. Double runs of 0 gauge and Double 0 gauge big three for my set up currently. I could use even more but it holds up for now👍🏼.
I had a 2007cx7 with 2L7 kicker Solo-Baric 18s, 1ohm dauls , fosgates 1800s srapt togather wired for a quarter ohm it hit 168db with doors open it blew windshield out broke almost all the spot welds on whole roof , I ordered cx7 dec06 they were just coming out in 07 it was completely totalled I mean destroyed by mayl 07 from system tail lights kept falling out but those Motors our junk I had emission problems from day one with it I kept taking it back to dealership I went back there and they were running the hell out of it saying they were cleaning the spark plugs which is b*ullshit* I like it a bad choice
Sundown is excellent, BUT you’re talking down and asking Blake to spend $1,000 on the pair of SA’s instead of $560 on these EVL’s for what? That would give him 2000 watts RMS instead of 2,500, 19mm xmax instead of 23.5, 1/4” smaller voicecoils. The cones and cap might be stiffer and slightly better assembly, but is that really worth another $440?
Sorry for the late response I don’t have all the specs anymore, but for your build gather the recommended airspace for a ported enclosure, double it, find the port square area for each sub, double it. Create a box that has the total air space that fits in your vehicle. Then you can select your tuning frequency for the box and use online software to calculate the port length. You’ll probably want triple baffle on the panel you mount your subs. And you can’t have too much bracing. Lastly if you want to be very precise, increase your box volume to account for the space taken up by the bracing and the subs if you don’t run then inverted like mine. Hope this helps.

Daryl has a nice shop! Sweet build. Always wanted a couple 18s
Thank you!
Can't wait for a demo
man... this is LITERALLY exactly what I wanna do in mine lol. Hyundai santa fe 2011. great work looks amazing
Nice! and Thank you!
Man your an hell of a carpenter
Sweet install.. can’t wait for the demo…. I like the way you documented the build.
Thanks! 👍 I am making a bunch of changes to build coming soon and a demo video should follow! Check out the ending of part 2 or 3 to see a sneak peak of what they do!
..and you still waiting for the demo!
Nice video, I always appreciate craftsmanship...
I appreciate it, thank you Randy.
Watched a couple of your older videos… you’ve definitely improved so much man. 👍🏽
Had me like. Damn. Lol
Thank you! I really appreciate it. I am constantly trying to get better and am always learning better ways to do things.
Oh you're hardcore with it.
Really clean build
Thanks Brandon!
Nice build I have one of those in a Jetta. It sounds great
nice job i use ti do this 30 years ago with a jigsaw and electric hand held screwdriver with dry wall screws lol
Thank you!
Mdf contains formaldehyde, should be wearing a mask dude great build :)
Coming out really nice bro nice setup and build you got going on there
Thank you!
Awesome video looks great
DUDE! GREAT VIDEO!! Thank you Sir
Thank you Daniel!
Just kidding bud, love you work.
From Dnice.....
Nice job on this!
Thank you!
Great video
Thank you Dolan!
Nice work man 👌🏽
Thank you!
Sick build bro 👍
Thank you!
It’s all nice and all but why you put it in the soccer moms car? Don’t you have a Sunday driver? Anyway great install.

Anyway u could share the box design with dimensions ? I have the same speakers and want to build my own
Ty for the video....can I get the port opening size and length by chance....thanks
Thank you! and The Port area is 111 inches ^2 as per spec on skars website and the port length is 21.8" inches for a tune of 33 hz.
Can you tell me what's all the size and the measuring of the box please
Dope channel! I looked high and low for another CX9 with bass and couldn't find anything until you. I have a 2013 I will be putting a single Sundown Xv3 15 and a Salt 3 amp.
Thanks man! That’s funny there’s not many out there. I’m sure your build will be sick.
GREAT JOB BRO
Thanks Hector!
Why not do a test play?
No 45s in the box?
very nice
Nice and simple build, but very effective...
It's Balaki not Blake right?😂
😂😂correct, and thank you!
We’re did you get the blueprints for that box and what’s it tuned to and on the off chance can I have the build sheet for the box I’d love to build that

@@blakebaertlein8211 oh ok yeah that box looks like it would be perfect in my truck that’s why I asked looks good tho keep on bassin lol
Correction the box is tuned to 33Hz. And 👍🏽, you too!
@@blakebaertlein8211 i really wish you still had the blueprints kinda bummed but now I’m thinking about putting two evl18s in my truck now so thanks for the good idea lol
What size alternator you have your voltage is going to drop pretty low with only three batteries and two amps
I have a 400 amp high output alternator along with the 3 batteries. Double runs of 0 gauge and Double 0 gauge big three for my set up currently. I could use even more but it holds up for now👍🏼.
Aww we can't hear it 🤷♂️
I had a 2007cx7 with 2L7 kicker Solo-Baric 18s, 1ohm dauls , fosgates 1800s srapt togather wired for a quarter ohm it hit 168db with doors open it blew windshield out broke almost all the spot welds on whole roof , I ordered cx7 dec06 they were just coming out in 07 it was completely totalled I mean destroyed by mayl 07 from system tail lights kept falling out but those Motors our junk I had emission problems from day one with it I kept taking it back to dealership I went back there and they were running the hell out of it saying they were cleaning the spark plugs which is b*ullshit* I like it a bad choice
Bass we didn't see when you put
Nice!
Thanks Mason!
nice install. what's the specs on the box?
Thanks! Build exact to the larger side of specs for 2 EVL 18s. 9 cubic feet 111 square inches port area. Tuned at 33Hz.
Bro you did go overbaord with what u needed
You could put an 5k on them easy
I mean the amp is good haha
Skar is always appealing to noobs. You'll upgrade to sundown soon put some SA v2 in there.
Sundown subs rock! Unfortunately not everyone has money for that, I paid for my subs by donating plasma🤷🏽♂️.
Sundown is excellent, BUT you’re talking down and asking Blake to spend $1,000 on the pair of SA’s instead of $560 on these EVL’s for what?

Hello, can you write the full size of the box and port??? is it suitable for two sundown audio x18 v1???
