Wingnuts 04' Vibe

[Wingnut]

Here is my vibe. Not much to say about it. Few mods... Stereo, clutch, rims etc. Not sure what I want to do yet.

Nice Vibe, I'm a fan of those rims, and that sub looks beast. Any plans for future mods?

[Wingnut]

Yeah! I've got a bunch of great ideas and since it has been payed off for the past 2 years, I have kept depositing money into an account like I was still paying it. It's a nice chunk of change but I'm still crunching numbers on the things I want to do to it. Turbo, Full Thermal Research exhaust (modified), and lowering springs are a definent. Things I'm looking into consist of lambo doors (front and back), full carbon fiber body wrap, custom front clip, 6 speed, JSP hood and internal engine work. I'm still trying to figure it all out.

I'm typically not a fan over rims other than 5 spokes, but man those are extremely sharp!!!

[Wingnut]

Thank you. I've loved these rims for years!

I'm definitely a fan Eric !

We really need to get a Chicagoland meet setup some time soon!

That sub must sound awful nice, I think the enclosure is bigger than mine!

[Wingnut]

That sub is almost 10 years old. It's a JL12W6. Building boxes was my specialty when I was working as a MECP certified car audio installed. The box is a 2.135 cubic foot ported enclosure with a 18.745"x 13.5"x2" internal port. The interior of the box has been sound deadened to improve sound and low frequency drop offs. I spent about 2 weeks designing the box for optimal sound and SPL on a computer program. Once everything was done it was time to hook up the amp (Kicker amp because it has a unregulated power supply) and wire it to run at 2ohms. The final product actually hit louder then I thought. Registered 128.7 decibels. Not bad for one sub.

Very Nice! Liking that Black fade out on the doors! Also very nice system setup, 128 db on one 12 is killer! For a bet I through some cheapo 2 Dual 12's in Banpass box in my Vibe, ended up hitting 140db and won 50 dollars from my buddy! The bet was I couldnt hit over 100db.

Anything is possible with the right box. I've seen 4 12's from Radio Shack in a nice box sound better then a high end set up.
