> then 2 ported comp vr 12''s @ 35hz off of 700

> then this 15'' "top of the line" audiobahn sealed off of 1500

SQ is amazing considering as well. Everyone I showed today was like "those are 8's"?? Got more questions about where to get them when I said how cheap they are.

Listening to "Throw it up" by Lil John absolutely killed my Jeep. The back plastic piece that mounts to the hatch that the liscense plate mounts to was moving a good 1/4'' and is now loose. I have rattles that have never been there before. Rear windsheild wiper was bouncing, the roof was tossing coins, bass moved your clothes, etc. I was really beginning to love the setup.
And then... I went home to get in to my work clothes. About 1/2 mile away from work while listening to music at a low volume the bass stops, I looked down at my remote and see PROTECT lit up. Look in the rear view and looky there a cloud of smoke. Amp is FUBAR. I'm hoping I can get refunded by ikesound seeing that they sent me a refurb amp and I emailed them the day I got it telling them that. Off to a better amp I guess.

For $240 plus box materials I was thinking this setup is the shizzzzzzzz. Guess the Brutus is the weak link.

i had a brutus1500d pushing 2 sundsplinter rl-i8s smoked with about 4 hours on it i dont think they like 1 ohm...

Yeah crappy amp IMO

 

[JeffyZ33 10+ year member]

This is 2 ohm.

Funny thing is, I had an NX750d under my seat which is carpeted (aka traps in heat) running at 1 ohm compared to this bx1500d out in the air where it can loose heat better running at 2 ohms. The difference? The lower line nemesis ran harder and lasted me for over a year before i sold it compared to this going on under 2 weeks.

My camera turns out pictures just on the edge of resizing by photobucket. Sometimes they resize just right and sometimes they resize but not small enough //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/mad.gif.c18f003ab0ef8a0d9c27ca78d77a6392.gif.

Anyways, I bought a new sander today and started sanding down. I hope I can buy a 1200d from HCCAFan tomorrow or monday //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/greedy.gif.5a53e6246569d7ab79867170f3b06629.gif

Getting some good progress on the box, I think it's going to be sweet.

After my friends dad changed around the box, it came out a lot bigger than I thought. Shows about 3.2 cubes before any displacements. Now I need to find out new port lengths and change them //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/mad.gif.c18f003ab0ef8a0d9c27ca78d77a6392.gif
