Well, no ones posted anything and its been almost a month, lol. The box that i had it in was a 7 year old box i got for free. It literally blew apart with my thin type R. LOL. I put it in a much larger ported box with a bigger amp and it sounds probably 5 times as loud and a lot more crisp. Im very impressed with this sub. I had a old rockford 550 watt amp that was actually only pushing 300 peak and about 150 rms. Ive got a mrp-m500 now and its pushing 450 peak and about 300 rms.

Hey guys.  6 months or so ago i picked up a 10" type r thin for crack head price.  Turns out it didnt work, but i pulled it all apart and fixed it.  Now that its working, i need to build a proper enclosure for it.  Im not gonna pretend i know what im doing when it comes to proper enclosures.  Whats a good size box for this sub?  I know alpine says .3 cubic feet, but ive heard all over the place that .5 and .7 was much better.  Does the shape of the box make a difference?

Next time your installing a system, check out www.the12volt.com, scroll down to the manufactorers and select, in your case, toyota. Find your year/model, and click on the alarm install link. It'll tell you where the reverse wire is, and what colour it is. My buddy has a '00 4runner and were trying to find him a lot of Surf parts. Install looks good bud. Keep it up.

Turned out good. Could you not just stick the boost knob beside the ipad?

rofl. Thats great.

Stance looks good bud. Dont change it.

what do you mean "what will sound louder"? What are you comparing it to?

Well, i got a retarded deal on a brand new in box alpine type r slim 10" SWR-T10.  100$.  Yes, you read that right, 100 bucks. hahaha.  Its just unbelivable that this sub has equal specs to a full size type R.  Its SOOO thing.  Anyways, ive got a 97 VW Jetta and im thinking of making a blow through box for it.  Stock specs for the sub box say  http://img534.imageshack.us/img534/4633/boxspecs.png   Just thought id ask what you guys recomend? My current plan is to just make that stock box, and run the port up through the rear deck.  If anyone has any better idea's, im all for em.  

jesus christ thats a lot of pictures. Read some of it...skipped a lot. Theres only so many hours in the day. lol. Looks good though!

needs another sub and a mock up amp. hahaha. Looks good though.

check in the trunk under the rear deck.

Thought it might be a good idea to post our PSN or XBLive usernames.  Currently i only use my playstation, my username is LDFORGET.  Add me up.

hmmm, idk man. Hopefully someone else can chime in.  Try resetting the deck to factory defaults? This post was edited by Lee Forget at September 17, 2011 10:36:26 AM PDT

what firmware are you running on the ipod? try updating to the newest version?  Do you know anyone else with an ipod/iphone that you can try? This post was edited by Lee Forget at September 17, 2011 10:01:35 AM PDT

seams the images for those decks are pretty proprioty. If you have any knowledge about hex editing and the such, this would be the thread you want to look at : http://www.ecoustics.com/electronics/forum/car-audio/200512.html If you dont, may as well give up. Id giver a shot, but i dont have a iDA deck to play with.

Is it hooked up to your e-brake? if so, is your e-brake up while attempting to watch video? I know it sounds like a lame question, but lets start at the bottom. That wire needs to be grounded to enable video on the deck.

on one of the episodes of Q&A they discussed it actually. Basically they said to find a local shop that'll let you chill there, not get in the way, but learn. Take our their garbage and sweep the floors for them as a thank you, but your not getting paid. Eventually they'll let you help if they feel confident in your abilities, and from there, you can either ask them to start paying you or you can apply at another shop. The tool list for a car audio installer is rather short compared to a mechanics. You need a set of sockets and wrenches, Definitely Torx sockets/screwdrivers, digital multimeter Some GOOD QUALITY crimpers, and common sence. Im sure theres some stuff ive forgotten. Go through the episodes of Q&A and im sure you'll find the episode that covers this question.
