Nice looking car 👍

If near Dallas I got my Oz 6.5 components for right at $100. I could probably let you hear them

Box looks great 👍

Mine would be just for aesthetics. I am planning on using acrylic on the front and I was wondering if I could put a piece of mirrored plexi inside at an angle to show off the magnet but it is not important. Just curious if it could be done without ruining the box. SQ before anything else. I have...

If you have a sealed enclosure and you add an interior wall that doesn’t go all the way across how does it affect the performance? How much of a gap would be necessary to prevent the woofer from acting as if you divided the box in half?

I like the way your box turned out. Does the plywood take rounding over pretty well or does it want to splinter?

General consensus is that 4 gauge will flow 95 amps.

Are you mounting the sub into the bulkhead or using an enclosure?

Glad I could help 👍

Check the fuses on the amps and add them together to see if the alternator is ok. But 300 amps is most likely fine. The yellow top is still the best battery that Optima makes for Audio applications but it is still AGM. I don’t know if lithium batteries perform better but they can produce the...

I am guessing at power but my xtant 3300 was powering a first gen 12w6 on the mono channel. It was rated at 180 by one at 4 ohms, I had it at 3 ohms which should have given 296 watts. It was underrated and I don’t know what it actually put out but I would guess between 350 and 400 watts maybe...

That is a lot of room. The guy who did my install years ago had an 87” Scirocco with one 15” in the tire well firing up with a sealed enclosure and he had excellent sound quality and enough volume to have a lot of fun. I think you should have no problems. I was also thinking about it after my...

How are your signal wires run? Do the front go through one LOC into the high amp and the rear to the Basspro and then to the low amp? It looks like the Basspro is a parametric EQ, line driver with 13.5 v outputs, subsonic filter, and bass knob. Assuming the knob controls level vs boost? The amp...

In this video there is a clip of them demonstrating that a standard cap does help the dynamic power of an amp. The demo is done by Tony D’Amore using an AD1. They were able to get 9% more peak power (almost 300 watts) with a standard 4 farad cap. And I did say that I don’t know if it will help...

JL makes awesome stuff. You can’t argue against that. They don’t lie about amp power and if you get something from them it will perform. I am not saying other companies are inferior, I am just saying that I don’t know anyone who has used JL and been disappointed.
