i'd pat you on the back if you were next to me.... as far as the cap.. i wouldn't invest money into one.. just get another bat if you really drawing that much power on your alt/bat.

Thanks guys, I have only heard one w3v2 alone and it sounded pretty good, these two w3v3's pretty much blow that w3v2 out of the water. The 500/1 does much more for these w3's then it ever did for the w6. With the w6 I couldn't set the gains high due to clippin, yuck, these are the cleanest sounding subs I have ever heard.

Couple Questions.

1. I eventually will be getting a 300/4. I will be running a 4guage wire to both amps, whats a good way to split the wire?

2. I am experiencing heavy static on some stations, due to my amp, I know this because I disconnected my power line and I get a clean signal, do they make anything to correct the static that is coming from the amp/system. Thanks again

1. I would run either 2ga or 0ga from the battery to a distribution block. From the block in the trunk run your 4ga to your amps.

Question- How did you get that rear facia peice in the trunk of your car in one peice? I have my trunk setup almost identical in my bimmer but I had to cut my facia peice in half in order for it to fit in the trunk opening. If I decide to cover it with anything other than carpet, you can see the gap and it looks like shit.

hey man, look at this pic. In order to get the baffle in the trunk i had to cut the lower left and right and fit it in, then the sides on the top were too short, So with my extra wood, i cut and fit the piece on too the wood. I used scraps of wood glued on the back to secure the wood and for one instance used a couple screws and brackets. In order for there to be no crease when the carpet was added from the gaps from adding the extra wood. I took wood filler and put it between the gap then sanded it down so it was one piece, you can see this on the corners of this pic.

Ahhhhh wood filler! Of course! Why didn't I think of that sooner?? Thanks for the tip. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

hmm for the w3's i would get 2 500/1 or 1 1000/1 to push them...they like the added power

just make sure u play a 50hz test tone and disconnect the subs and set your gains until u see 22.4 volts on both 500/1 or 31.6 volt for the single 1000/1 on your dmm

80

Damn. Clean is the best word to describe your car/install. Great job.

 

[Nexson 10+ year member]

HEH THANKS GUYS. Im going to go work on the tweeters now, but I have a question for amp selection. I need a 2ch amp that can power my rainbow slc 265's. Whats a good 2ch amp that will be able to handle those front components and not kill my wallet?

i like your install allot. very clean and simple design. i was just wondering why didnt you center the subs with the top and bottom of the trunk, they look like they are sitting a little lower to the ground. but looks nice like that.

i wouldnt sugest a cap or another battery. i think you should upgrade your alternator instead. a second battery will by an extra load on an allready stressing alternator, make sure you do the big 3, if you havent allready.

why not stay with the JL audio theme. when it comes to the amp selection for the front speakers. that way when you do the amp rack if you do. youll have matching amps. added points in a car show. lol plus you may find them in good condition on ebay for cheap. if money is an issue.

laters

again great install

hehe thanks man, I orginally didnt have the intention do the baffle, so I started building the box, with what MDF I had in my attic (this whole project was only done because I already had all the materials) so i made the box and it looked fine but then i added the baffle and realized it was gona sit low, so I couldn't anything about it, oh well. anyhow would yall suggest the 30/2 by JL.

Here's some pics of my tweeter fab. I'm doing now into the sails.
