New System!

**SixthFloorFreak** · 05-02-2004, 01:29 AM

Started work this morning at 11AM. Ripped out both amps(Cadence A7 & Arc 4050), and the back seat. My good friend Scottie Johnson worked on getting the jack box out while i made a trip to get matching tan carpet about 20 miles away.

I just got home after a long day of work, but it was all worth it.

Here's the specs
8.5 cubes before displacement
60 square inches of port - tuned to 30 hz
2 Brahma 15's(unfortunately, these are just temporary, 2 Digital Designs 9515's will be taking their place)
Cadence A7 @ 2 ohms, 800 watts
Arc Audio 4050 CXL bridged to CDT CL-61's, giving them ~200 watts a side

With just 800 watts on the pair, they absolutely kill. Everything goes nuts, the damn hood even visibly vibrates. Can't wait to throw the whole 1400 the Cadence will push onto the DD's as soon as my other sub gets here(long story

)

Only thing left to do is carpet the front amp board. Local shop didn't have enough carpet

seat belt bolts hold the bottom board in, a 3/4" piece of mdf was glued and screwed on that to give us the height we need. this was used to mount the box to

how do the cl 61s handle that power and does the bass drown them out?

the CDT's are handling the power beautifully. i've had the CDT's in for a while with the same amp running them, but i finally had to raise the gain on them. its up there pretty high now, and i still don't here them breaking up.

i do however have to detune the bass to some degree, because it will drown them out at full tilt.
