Here is all the stuff for you guys to see.













New Wheels I Think they Look Hott!!!






















Tell me what you guys think All comment welcomed.

 

looks great,

now you need the ground kit.

 

nice, time for aspec kit....

 

+3 what they said aspec kit

 

Very nice! I love the color

 

Very nice! Blue was my second choice if I couldn't find an nice CPO Anthracite

 

Lookin good...
I had two Type R's in my 2nd gen TL, them puppies pound!!!

 

you should port those R's...

 

aspec and you are set.

 

ur ABP is comin along nicely....grab the aspec, type-s sidemarkers (rear) ur set! what are u dropped on?

 

Ya man they sound hott, it has a clean sound to it.

 

Sorry but i dont know what that mean please explain im still not an expert at all this stuff....lol

 

Port the sub box - basically put a hole in it. It will make your bass louder and you will hit the lower frequencies better. Doesn't help much for sound quality though.

Nice job on the mods. I like everything!

 

And i know all you guys are right next on my list of mods are Aspec kit, type s side markers, a nice exhaust(nothing too loud though), Type s mirrors, and tien ss coilovers, rear sway bar.

And im riding on tien lowering springs with my stock struts so im gonna have to eventually going coilovers.

 

Thats not a bad idea i might try it but it can only put a whole on the sides of my box not the back.
But thanks alot

 

I also for got to mention to say thanks everyone for your nice comments i try my best but this forum has become an addiction im on it like everyday and its been digging into my pockets everytime i get a new idea.....lol

 

^ you have arrived

 

Leave your set up the way it is. If that's a "custom" sealed enclosure as you stated, then it was designed to the specs of those subs. Putting holes in it will not yeild any better results for you, if anything it will just make your bass boomy and sloppy sounding. If you like the way it sounds right now, leave it as is. Now if you feel you need more bass, you can always get a bigger amp or have a ported box designed and built.

Your off to a great start though, I've had my car for over a year and from the outside it still looks bone stock (minus the tints) !

 

Definitely looking good.

 

hows the system sound? i was looking into getting 1 type R.

 

looks good, would look better if it were lowered...

 

Man, those wheels really look nice with your color blue.

 

Yeah those wheels are screaming for a bodykit. They look similar to Tim's wheels in Chicago. He has a RJ kit on it and the car is a head turner!

 

Souns sick nice and clean and pretty loud.

 

The car is already on tien lowering springs

Ya they are his wheels he sold them to me....lol and i got my angel eyes finally fixed today.

Thanks alot

 

Damn, I almost bought those wheels, but ran into a huge bill right before and couldn't buy them...

I'm kicking myself in the ass right now, they look great!

A-spec would look great on there too.

 

Nice ride man its lookin good!

 

AM I GOOD or WHAT!! Daym pretty pathetic I would memorize who has what wheels, lol!

 

That a nice ride dude
Are you desi? I mean where r u from? only curious because u have 786 in the end

 

I am Afghan wat are you??? and im obviously muslim....lok

 

I am from Pakistan. I am on this forum for couple of years.
I have few desi friends we usually go cruising at night. Let me know if you want to meet.

 

Damn Bro Sick whip! I like those rims Get that aspec kit like mentioned already!

 

I wouldn't just put a "hole" in the enclosure...its a little more complicated than that. And BTW...whoever said you would lose SQ going ported...Only if you had a high tuning or it wasn't the right size enclosure for the subs. I had some of the most accurate bass I had ever heard on a sub in a 4^ft boxed tuned around 28hz...it was getting around 1800w...talk about SQL

 

actually u hit lower bass notes with a sealed box....sealed gives you a more dynamic range of sound. ported has to be tuned very very very differently and in a car its not practical....the port would be huge.

 

A-Spec Needed then it would be prefect

 

SQL doesnt exist its SPL and ported is recommended for SPL because you are tuning the port to a note you want to hear....it doesnt mean your going to have a good range of sound being put out through it.....it just means you have a less dynamic range of sound...your box was tuned to 28hz inside or outside of the car??? the roll off is where your range starts so if the tune was set to 28hz lets say your roll off was at 39hz...from 39hz up you would have a range of sound that was produced for you to hear....anyuthing below that sounded like porno pu*** flapping in the wind.
the resonant frequency of the inside of the car is how you tune a ported box or even sealed for that matter to a frequency you feel is good. I have 3 10inch jl w6v2's in a a sealed enclosure producing 148dB at 1280watts

 

when i get my sisters 3rd gen in december first thing im getting is a A-SPEC kit ftw

 

What mic are you using and where was the mic placed when you were getting 148db? Not saying its not possible, just curious. I can't see how you say using a ported box in a car isn't practical, and that SQL doesn't exist. I understand cars have tuning peaks and what not that varies from vehicle to vehicle. I would say 95% of people on diyma and ca.com run ported enclosures. Its all about sub placement and direction to fire port. Tuning a ported box for a daily setup vs a "fart box" for SPL is completly different. I do agree sealed enclosures are more accurate than ported. Also...ported boxes are more efficent than sealed boxes.

The Type R's that the OP is running are no where near SQ subs, but they do get very loud for a daily driver in the right enclosure (and can sound decent doing it). I haven't heard may R's that are very accurate (sealed or ported)

 

by far the type r's are very impressive i have to agree..... I have term pro its a kit they sell with the mic i have no idea of the model but ill look when i get home....i also have an spectrum analyzer from audio control its old and the mic sux so i dont bother with it anymore...i mainly like to mess with that for pink noise. the mic is placed in the same place as the competitions... passenger side on the window 6inches high 4 inches in form the pillar. any sub can be made SQ but who wants that lol i think most of us like loudspeaker systems.....i like to be on the border....another member stated this in another part of the forum Its like concert volumes and studio quality. best of both worlds without breaking stuff....including your ears...my girl has a hard time keeeping the volume low and shes always bitching how other people are so loud lol.

 

Yea the AC mic is around 7-8 dbs off from the new Termlab. Sorry to the OP for turning this into an enclosure discussion
