I've never heard of them either but did you see their gallery they have a lot of custom competition installs I'd believe it but there are a lot of parameters missing from that 4,000W sub to see why it would need/handle that much power other than the size of the magnet 65 pounds is a beast! Their other subs and speakers look good but so do Dahltons lol.

The numbers on it are real. It will handle 4000 rms daily. You can throw 8000rms/ 16000 peak at it for a burp. T3 is an all out SPL company. That sub is made for the SPL lanes. Thats why the rating isnt what you normally see.

He did well with this sub. 151.xdb in the kick, driver door open off 2 sundown 1500ds. Enclosure is a daily config with 80 sq.in. port area. Not bad for one sub and out of a TRUNK.

Its in a Honda Accord. No vids of it or pics of it in. Not sure he would want to show them either ;) but this is the enclosure and the sub.

just curious, what is the curved panel in that box for? is it part of the port design? I have seen this before but and asked about it but got a BS answer. Thanks

It just a flared port using kurf bending. Simply smooths out the airflow for less port turbulence resulting in better output and sound.

that is Nucking Futs that sub is HUGE. Im going to be happy if I hit 145db with my lethal injections. I am currently building the box for them and waiting to get the subs in. Hopefully going to have them in 2 weeks or so, I just got set back with some other things. Ill post some pictures when I get the interior done on the car. here is what the outside looks like now. and everything was done by me except for the paint, i did all the body work and everything. the interior use to look nice. haha not so much anymore. its all torn apart on the inside and I am redoing it. hopefully should be done in like 2 or 3 weeks.posted_image

If you need some help with enclosure design just let me know. Hope those extra body mods are done right and you deaden the car good to lessen flex. I would hate to see you redoing them.

yeah at first the were not done right, i tried to take the cheap way out, but it wasn't worth it. no bondo is on the car to hold it together, all evercoat tiger-hair and the good stuff haha. but they are now on good. i started by riveting them on, then i used tiger-hair to put it on, then v-grooved it, packed in about 5 coats for fg mat then used filler over that. and its on there pretty darn good, but i didn't use much dynamat at first, so now that i'm re-doing the interior, I am going to get another pack of dynamat and redo the hatch area and the floor and roof. I should be good after that. and I got box specs from Nick over at Incriminator Audio, so they should be pretty legit. Also, I do need some help on a box I am going to build. They are for 2 12" Lanzar MAX12D subs. Right now I have them in a prefab box because I had it laying around as an extra box and its a sealed box at 1.25cu.ft. per chamber, and its a dual chamber box. It hits pretty damn good in all honesty, I definitely was not expecting it to sound as good as it does. But I want to make it hit to its full potential, what size box would be good for these subs?
