    well, i hooked everything back up. I got ****ed because i still have a whine when i finished. Screwed around with a few things and i found out that my audiocontrol was the problem. So now, i'm using the stereo and my eD bass knob and no whine. I redid my stereo grounds so no hiss or whine now. I just got kinda ****ed that my audiocontrol did that to me. i may change the rca's from the stereo to the audiocontrol to see if that was the problem. with the RCA's hooked up with no amp i was still getting a whine over my tweets. Anyway, problem is solved for now. Thank god! Now i just have a useless audiocontrol below my head unit.

    I still have to adjust my gains but I love the sound of the new box! I get really nice lows now but i don't think they are pushing hard enough so i have to get the DMM out and make some adjustments.

    it looks really really clean.
    I have that same audiocontrol eq.. new rca's wont solve the problem... its like the pioneer headunits... if you dont wire them just right you blow a diode in the board they will work but there will always be this little whine in the speakers...

    thanks! so i guess i just won't use it for now. I actually like the sound better without it in the mix. I have better midbass than i had before and the sub sounds a lot better too.

    Did you end up changing the diode in your audiocontrol?

    thanks! I'll get the vids in a day or so. I still have to reset the gain in both of my amps cuz i'm no longer using my audiocontrol so it threw everything off.

    No I didnt its just sitting in the garage for now til I get time to just put it back in... it makes my system sound better cause I dont have the best equipment. lol. adjusting from the amps isnt all that bad anyways. this eq robs midbass for sure unless you know how to adjust really well. you get the bass you wanted now cc?

    Thanks pedro. I still have to finish the back cover on the box. I made some adjustments on the amp last night and damn! It has never sounded this good! I'm really happy with the way my system sounds now. When i took the THREE.1 out of the mix it made a world of difference. I actually have mid bass now!

    I take some vids on friday.

    I want to thank Azn. you outdid yourself this time. the box rocks! Thanks a bunch Nam.

    I'm loving everything now. it sounds awesome now. I put up the gain on my nine.1 and the bass really kicks hard! I haven't played much rap or bass music yet but i'm going to really test it out tonight when i get home. My wife took my car today so i can't play around with it.:(

    My mids and highs are great now. I wasn't thinking much of my DLS until now, man do they sound sweet! I'm not changing them now. NO WAY. I do want to add some tweets in my sail panels now though. I'm looking for some focal aluminum tweets for there so i can switch to the sail panel tweets when i want to listen to music outside the car.

    Sounds awesome Azn. Many thanks. I'm very happy with the output of my new box now. I haven't really been pushing it because i've been playing more SQ music but the response and sound of the new box it top notch!

    I'm glad you really like the SQ of the enclosure. How's it blending with the front stage??
