    2018 Wrangler JL- Upgrading from JL Audio 8" microsub

    FYI...I checked the screws and everything is holding fine....this grill doesnt allow full excursion. I wouldn't recommend it for this Dayton sub

    Been enjoying my sub...the sub is flexing well amd starting to hit the grill when it hits decently hard. Do you have a little deeper grill that you can recommend?

    I'm trying to avoid spending more money on a dsp at this point and I also dont have a good spot to put it.  I've played the sub about 15 hrs now and am still having blending challenges.  I did what you recommend dialing in front 5.25" hertz components's mid bass using test tones on YouTube and...

    Ran the 4awg ofc and got everything hooked up!  I will try and post a video later today.  I'm trying to better dial in the tune so the sub blends better with my front 5.25" components' mid bass and the sub doesnt sound as much like its in the rear open cargo area.  Does the slope of both amps...

    I just ramped up the volume a bit...this thing sounds unbelievable.  Annihilates my 8"...you were right!  I can feel it throughout my body at 75mph.😎  At what point is she broken in?

    70 hz for the 5.25" hertz components

    This sub is very clean sounding.  What should I set both amps' crossovers at to get best blend?  At 80hz and +24 db currently.

    @Jeffdachef Added 1lb of acoustifil...it's definitely well sealed.  Wired it up for 2ohm and got her playing on medium volume with 8awg power to break it in and it definitely hits ALOT deeper!😀   It's very noticeable...cant wait until I get the 4awg ran tonight.

    Well said!  I was going to put caulk around the wire terminal to seal it.  Is it ok to mount the sub tonight with the silicone drying?  Read that the silicon fumes could hurt the sub...

    The pine would've saved $25, but it was 5 ply and had alot more voids.  Home depot would only make 2 cuts and no angled cuts that were needed for the angled back.  I would've had to buy a saw...so I elected to pay $40 to a carpenter for good cuts.  I forgot to add the $15 cost of the universal...

    I tried to copy his technique, but it seems to take practice to look good.  In hindsight, I definitely should've bought the prefab bbox for $50.  In my opinion, if you dont have proper equipment, box building is too expensive, takes alot of labor and the finished product looks worse than a...

    Thanks again...I have 12awg to wire up the box.  How do you connect the wire to the back of the wire terminal on the box?  I don't know how to solder...are crimped butt connectors good?   Secondly, is it ok to mount the sub over the carpet that extends to the edge of the round speaker cutout or...

    Thanks...I decided to hold off on spending more $ on the twk88.  I'm going to try and adjust the crossovers and polarity to try and blend everything.  I carpeted my box tonight....definitely messy and doesnt look great up close.  Tough to get perfect seams.

    I'm definitely a perfectionist and a little OCD when it comes to sound quality.  I like to set it and forget the dsp tuning adjustments except for frequently adjusting the bass knob.  I have the fix 86 sending a clean signal and I bought a bass adjustment knob for the hd750 amp...guess if I...

    When you say that the dayton is more advanced, are you implying the dayton offers more advanced tuning?  Or are you implying that the TWK-88 software is more intuitive and easier to use and they both do the exact same thing?
