Quote, originally posted by J-freakie Â»They can either be wired at 2ohm or 4ohm per sub. If you have both of them wired at 2ohms ... that will equal 1ohm.

put it on the metal....adding mass to the panel dampens vibration and thereby reduces noise

Quote, originally posted by tangerine Â»lol...sealed boxes are not how you get your sound quality out, obviously you've never seen a properly built ported box.

I clipped mine off with some side cutters. Worked great!

idontknowwhatimdoing

Man....I totally dig this car....very nice!

idontknowwhatimdoing

Good point...you have to let the ice guard "flash off" after you install it...then no worries at all.

idontknowwhatimdoing

Yep...that is the stuff...works GREAT!!! I thought it was 100 feet or so, but it is 67 feet. Still a great deal in comparison

idontknowwhatimdoing

Two Words.......Ice GuardBuy it from home depot for about $70 a roll...which is 100 feet long X 40 or so inches wide. It is IDENTICAL to dynamat and even has the adhesive backing for application...It works REALLY well.

idontknowwhatimdoing

I think the frostyGT should get a nod...nice rig!

idontknowwhatimdoing

6.5" does fit and I run 6.5" midbass in all doors, but depending on the speaker depth you will need to build out some sort of trim ring. "Most" 6.5" speakers would hit the glass when the window is down without a mounting ring...the "shallow" speakers, for me anyway...

idontknowwhatimdoing

Great idea! It seems like this could be dangerous in the event of an accident as the glass will not break out and could amplify head and neck injuries. Isn't this the reason why you can't use plex or lexan for a windshield?

idontknowwhatimdoing

Wicked! I have an '03 GT so I am eargerly awaiting the response and info on the signup.

idontknowwhatimdoing

I am going to try to get to the *shoug* this weekend and I have a ton of ABS plastic I can give ya...do you need some for the trimout?

idontknowwhatimdoing

Well dig it.........if anyone is interested or crazy enough to own it......I would sell the system out of my rig. You MUST have a strong heart to be in the thing and not care about the fact that it weighs in around 400 pounds. I am looking for the next challenge. Anyone interested? Show me $3500 and...

I had a wicked rattle too from the same spot, but mine was the gauge cluster screw. Tightened it and it went away!

After review of the amp, I recommend the following:1. Set the subsonic filter on and raise it to the max frequency (50hz?)2. Set all crossovers to HP and cut @ 100 - 150 hz3. Turn "bass boost" off4. if you are running "high level" inputs, change them to preamp level from the deck...

idontknowwhatimdoing

Also, do you have any speakers wired to the deck directly? Do you use the pre-outs on the deck or is it wired through a line output converter?

idontknowwhatimdoing

are you running the door speakers full arange or do you have a crossover on them?

idontknowwhatimdoing

OK, I just re-read the entire post again....(clobbers own self in melon and cleans up own stupid slobber, duh) Since you don't have deck power going to any speakers, just reference the gains as I originally stated. The extra 10 watts will not hurt the rear set, but rather run them better. The only w...

idontknowwhatimdoing

If you have deck power going to any speakers, set the deck level that references the max that those speakers can handle before distortion, then back it off a tick so it is just under their distortion level and then reference the amp gains to that volume level. That is your new "MAX" volume...

Has anyone played with camber plates? I am thinking on building a set for my rig with the added bonus of a bump in the strut mount/pillowball bearing location for added drop and smoother, longer stroke for the strut which should smoothen the ride a bit. Just wondering if anyone has any experience wi...

idontknowwhatimdoing

Turn them gains down holmes...you should set the gains so that at FULL volume on the deck you are just a tick or two under the level where audible distortion begins....this will allow the amp to make the headroom that will offer MUCH more clarity and volume. Try it....you may like it.

MDF (medium density fiberboard) is most common. 3/4" minimum thickness, 1.125" optimal for more beefy enclosures, and double layer 3/4" laminated together for insane heavy enclosures. If you have access to Rangerboard, it is significantly better. And if you have the tools, the time an...

I would go with either one 12" or a pair of 10" woofers.A GREAT buy (something I would do if I did it again) would be the Resonant Engineering SX10, SX 12, or XXX12. The XXX12 is more toward the SPL crowd as they are LOUD, but they model REALLY well in a simple ported box. The SX series ar...

Is it an LCD display?Some LCD are really finicky to cold weather and when required to change due to display change i.e. shuffle, can go blank or act strange until the liquid is warm enough...normally it shouldn't happen, but I have seen it before.
