Did the hobby of car audio die? I remember when CA.com had at least hundreds of members online at all times. The Thunderdome was the hang out for regulars. The classified section had any and everything you'd ever want, it you were fast enough to snag it before everyone else did...  Now there's...

Any muffins left?

What the dick happened to CA.com?!

I was a garbage man for about a year. Found all kinds of stuff. Xbox360, Ps4, laptops, amps etc... And this was in a small town. I'm sure in a larger, wealthier city people throw away a lot of decent stuff. I didn't "dig through the garbage". Most of the time if someone was throwing away...

TN here. Haven't been in the car audio thing in a long *** time though. Been thinking about saving up for a small set up.

So much for not being a douche... We get it, you have money. You keep referring to 50k as a "small amount of money" etc... You could just say you can afford it and ask for suggestions but in the real world where a majority of us live, 50k is a lot of money. For someone who isn't trying to be a...

What in the actual hell am I looking at? Is that seriously just a truck frame welded on top of another truck frame?!

Sundown TEAM motor on a 24" sub anyone? I know, I know...it's built for HT. But look at that beast! BHS-24 24″ Subwoofer | Stereo Integrity

@adulbrich. good to see you got better use out of them. Now instead of trying to swap everything out, just get the proper recones and you should be good to go!

If the enclosure is within spec and the amp is set correctly, not much else you can do without trying new enclosures and placement. Give them a few weeks and they might loosen up and be louder.

That's like saying, "The Lamborghini I'm selling still works... I just took out the motor and replaced it with a 4 cylinder." I'm "upset" by you thinking it's OK to try to decieve people. I bet you were pissed when you found out the sub's bad the wrong coils, right? So why wouldn't you mention...

Sorry you got butthurt in your for sale thread. But it's common sense that when you're trying to sale something for $3,000+ that you should disclose every detail possible. I'd be highly pissed if I bought a sub for any amount and found out later the coil wasn't even right for the sub. If I paid...

Woohoo

You really should advertise/price these as motors/baskets because you know the recones aren't right. Pretty misleading to say one is "perfect" when it was built with the wrong size coil.

He knows popwar is in the competition scene. You're just some kid on the internet. To him, you're not a threat to his business. So basically he knows who to take care of first to try to keep his name from being trashed. Let's be real here. It's time to just cut your losses and admit you got...

Good to know one of the recones worked out. Better be super careful slamming on that one in that huge box!

I feel like the beauty panel part could have used some better planning/screw placement. The random screws everywhere detract from the overall clean look, IMO. Other than that, it's a really nice build! Not everyone's idea of great equipment, but as you said the owner had their reason and you...

Nice looking truck. Outside speakers? No.

Not to be a ****, but how did you mess up 2 drop in recones? Shim and glue...it's not difficult at all. If you shim it properly, there is really no way to mess it up.

Google "gain setting tutorial." Get a DMM and follow the instructions. More than likely your gain is set too high causing clipping and blowing the subwoofers.

An established business with as much coming in/out as is being claimed should have a shipping company who regularly picks up/ships to his location. Not someone running out and shipping off a package at the local UPS store whenever they feel like it. I've read enough about Tantric in a short...

Why didnt I know you had awesome stuff and lived in the same state when I was heavy in to car audio? Lol Free bump for some unique custom subs.

Yeah, it's probably not a good sign when a "company" tells you they can't refund the money you paid for a service/product because they have a negative balance. Why would he even admit that to a customer? Wow. Anyway, curious to see this all done. It's been an interesting build log... Lol

That port is nice! Is that just a piece of wood kerfed in a complete circle?

Flip! Haven't seen you around in a while either. Don't you live in TN?

Those are what we call drug dealers. Your average person can't own multiple homes, multiple thousands of dollars worth of audio equipment, multiple cars, warehouses and live on welfare and selling pecans.

If i were going to make something like this, I'd round the bottom of the input into the amp and maybe some sort spot on top for the set screw of the amp to clamp down on better. Other than that, should work.

Maybe because he's made 10 threads "bragging" about government hand outs and getting house loans with no job and picking up cans for cash etc... Obvious troll. He used to say he sold pecans and pushed buggies at Walmart but showed pics of like 10 different cars, houses, a big warehouse, tons of...

JBL GTO1001EZ can be had for the price of that Alpine amp and i think it comes with a free wiring kit from sonic electronix. And I'd opt for a little better sub like Sundown Ev2's although they're a bit more than the subs you listed. That would be around $400 without an enclosure.

As I have just proven, you don't like to be wrong so you throw out childish insults when proven wrong. That doesn't make you some genius that's never wrong.

Or maybe in a few years he gained extensive knowledge and knows what he's talking about? Or maybe not everyone is as stupid as you think they are and you're an unjustified arrogant prick?

*accept. Try to use half-*** decent spelling/grammar when insulting people or you just make yourself look like a bigger idiot than you already do.

That's an awesome job then!

Do you get free whiskey?

Beautiful work! That's the best looking beauty panel I've ever seen in a trunk. Look forward to seeing the M3 build.

If you're asking if underpowering speakers will harm them, the answer is no. Just set the gains properly and see how it does. If you think they need more power, get a new amp.

Yeah your average Joe isn't going to make any meaningful money making stupid videos. Just have to get lucky and hope to go viral and gain a cult following like some people do. The money comes from advertising. If your getting a million views on your videos, companies will pay to have an ad for...

2k @ 2ohm is usually 4k @ 1ohm. Even used, 380 is pretty low for a 4k amp! After a quick look in the classifieds, amps in that power range are going from $525+ shipping all the way up to $700+. Used Sundown 3500 can be had for 550-600...

I was speaking in general terms. But it just doesn't look like $700 there. Some funky shaped sheet metal with holes in it and a couple of drawers? Made in the USA is to get suckers to buy a $700 product that was made for 20 bucks. Lol
