I have one of those subs in my car now. a older model thats a switchable 2 or 8 ohm imp. I always had it a 2 ohms though for 350 watts max. I have a Alpine MRP -M450 amp pushing 400 watts at 2 ohms in a 03 Honda Accord. Honestly, the sub... DID well with hiphop music. Until one day I added...

yea, i still havnt touched the tweets. Im pissed because i lost the right side OEM tweeter housing in my mess of garage. No biggie though. I see everybody likes throwing the tweets in the pillars but im not sold on the idea. i think the fact that they are separated so far from the drivers it...

Just got the amp installed. Nothing special or crazy customization but instead we have simple and effective installation. I got the front stage at half gain a little bit over the 32 hz. The 60.9s go down to 45 hz and pull at 2 ohms. BTW, this amp is amazing, Just unvelievable. I was happy with...

Whats good everyone. I just got a new amp for my Honda. Finally got some cash to update my equipment. Just got the Infinity Kappa Four amplifier from my man Cliff (good looking out Homie!). I don't know what anybody else thinks of the brand, but i rock with them. This bad boy is pretty to me. I...

man i dont go no problem with whatever on the thread, its been about a month since i glanced at the forums and i thought more would have been done.

nah, not upset. anxious? YES! the quality and amount of equipment your putting in is "off the chain" and i seen all the effort u put in your last build (if im not mistaken you did the work yourself, not sure though). so u drove the truck hundreds of miles down a month n a half ago to a...

i think these setups are overkill but yes it is crazy. my only thing is, its been gone at least a month and all that was done was the box, whats taking so long? u took it to a professional right?

I understand your new but you dont HAVE to go top of the line for quality car audio.. $2000 for a starter system is... CRAZY! plus you got to get it installed and other misc items (dynamat, sound deadener, amp kit, etc.). You asked if there is cheaper for same sound quality... there is plenty...

In due time. After I did it, I told myself I'd make a 1 piece mount and Bondo it but its temp because I didn't want the tweets swinging all over the place. In the future I plan to fiberglass the doors but for now, its good enough. Fiberglassing looks tricky and I'm not ready to hack away at the...

driver side: [/img] And thats all folks. Next I'll be buying some 8 gauge to attach to the distribution block and put the sub back in. until then, deuces.

Ok, so I was back at it today. Today was the day to work on tweeter location. Most of the world would have have put the tweeters on thhe A-pillar... or whatever "pillar" its called but I choose to keep them in stock location. Yesterday went and grabbed some 2x4 1\8 inch MDF for $5.50.... so here...

Just got done installing the passenger speaker, here are some quick pics: MDF spacer mounted to door... [/img] threw the speaker in... [/img] then added the clay... Hooked up the old but free Sony xm-552 HX, rated at 70wx2ohms, turned half to max at +5 Dbs [/img] and... TADAH!! a very...

Found time to mount MDF spacer: [/img] but the 2 bottom mounting points were aligned with the speaker, so I had to readjust: [/img] handled... checked to make sure the spacer wasnt to thick and the door panel could go back on with no problem... smooth!. Now online blogs recommend using some...

After I get those spacers mounted on to the door I want to really challenge myself and see what i can do in fabricating something for them tweeters. I cant have them laying out there on the dashboard like that, but it wont hurt anything. I need some type of 2.5 inch diameter wooden basket to sit...

OK, rewind a bit, a few days ago I popped the driver door off and wanted to see if the speaker was an easy install job... nope... magnet too big for opening and what little did get in opening it was magnetizing itself to the hearest bit of metal. So iI went ahead and tried to fabricate some...
