Sorry if I was misleading, this was not my intention. I should have noted that this Critical Mass subwoofer is not built the same as most DVC subs. The information I shared was directly from CMass tech support when I installing my system. I had a bad voice coil in a sub and this was part of the...

That is ridiculous. They should have done more to help you. Cant you return it under warranty?

CMass has a marketing strategy to sell to celebrities and sports stars. There prices reflect this. They do not really cater or sell to the general masses. However, when a celeb buys a CMass system for $250k or up that includes the custom install. Severl high end shops receive this work and build...

Any update? What did you end up buying and installing?

Do you have any updates to post? I am curious how you lift the foam panels out. Do you use some quick disconnects or somthing to facilitate complete remove of the trays so you can access the spare tire?  

You can definitely do better. Alpine and Fosgate are reliable and fair priced. ID, Hertz, Arc and HAT are really awesome but you will pay more. 

Did you get it all dialed in? Definitely want to use the DSP to control all the crossover points. You also want to make sure the configuration is setup correctly with the DSP. That processor is very versatile, and you can sum input channels if you need to get a full range signal from the Head...

High quality Class D amps are great. As others mentioned, less power consumption, smaller cables, no need for extra bass and caps. Unless you are competing, class D will work fine. With that said, I am old and went back to class A/B amps after about 10 years with a pair of JL audio class D amps...

I love those subs. So awesome and so reasonably priced. Nice box build. 

Nice use of the foam section above the spare tire. My amps are under the seats and I am exploring options. I did not consider mounting the amps on the foam section. Nice work. 

Nice work. Those U3 speakers have amazing range. What made you want to add on tweeters? I ran my U3s from 315Hz to 20kHz and was able to get a very flat RTA response even at 16 and 20 kHz.  What sound deading material are you using? It look more like a pad than the thin butyl mat.  Any over...

I'm jelous! Nice skills. I paid a shop to build a rack and sub box for my 70 el camino.  Came out nice, but yours is amazing. Nice work. 

Very nice work!  I like the repurposing of the old rack. I would of just started over with new wood and wasted money. 😀

Dude, 2 ohm DVC subs are super versatile. High end subs will have each coil wound seperate, so you can just run one voice coil and the sub will play perfectly. If you blow it in 5 years, you can still run the other coil. Wont hurt to try. If it palys music with one coil wired up and the other...

The remote must be connected to the top port. I don;t recall what the bottom port is for, but it will not allow the remote to work. I had mine hooked up to the bottom port and had to take it to the shop looking like a dumb ass. They just moved it.  The PC software used to control this 3.sixty...
