IT's HUGE!!

So my friend Lee and I have been hanging out playing pool almost every Thursday evening. Well, this week he brings his sub box with him because he is thinking about possibly parting ways with it. Since i was fortunate enough to get a KILLER deal on an Xtant amp from a friend on preludeonline.com I am in need of something to push with it.

So lee brings this box and I open his truck and take one look and the thing is friggin MASSIVE. It seems much larger than a 3x10 box SHOULD be, even for a bandpass box.

Well, these three 10s are all dual voice coil and apparently this box is supposed to be able to handle 1500 watts (I am pretty sure that is peak, and not RMS) and they have the drives/coils wired up to maintain a 4 ohm load (as far as I can tell) so if I am going to use it I will have to rewire for a 2 ohm load (otherwise this amp will only push 200 watts, and I think that would be a bit anemic)

But I am pretty excited to get it hooked up because I already have pretty decent low end coming from the stock 6x9s in the back and 6 1/2s in the doors. I am pretty sure I won't want this box though because I am looking for something tighter than a bandpass box can provide. That's why I am looking for 10s to begin with. If all I wanted was deep, hard, loud lows then I would get some 12s or 15s.

At any rate, this box almost entirely fills my hatch up. I can barely fit my backpack in and I have no place for my tripod to rest comfortably either... but DANG it looks good back there with the mirror and chromed baskets! woot.
