very nice man. i was going to go with fi's too but they dont make an HO alt for my car =(

funny thing is i got my new subs in the same day as you. just thought that was cool.

no new pics/vids yet but i have a problem. I am using the biggest screws i can fit in the holes on the basket for the subs and well....when the subs are going ape shit on low notes they are visibly ripping the screws out of the box. What am i supposed to do? I have the biggest screws possible in there, and i don't wanna drill my brand new subs baskets out:crap:

could you remove the baffle and bolt the subs in instead of screw them? might be a pain in the *** but it should work solid

Replacing an alternator wasn't AS hard as i thought it would be.....

Out with the old...eww



And in with the new



So purdy



So how does it work? Ran up and got a doubleshot, mmmm and of course test it out.



It comes alive above 1krpm, at full tilt holds 13-14. At idle full tilt it holds around 12. It got too dark to take a video again //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif i fooled around with a TTB cd and jesus christ the flex is nasty.

Bring on the viddy!

VIDYAA!! Note i fail at holding the camera steady while maintaining a +1krpm.....Maybe another one of some flex to.

Something i have noticed is these subs get fuggin hot!! I set my gains with a dmm but there still smelling a little funny. I am also going to change up my battery location because i think i am suffocating the ports to much. I only have about 5 inches of breathing room and if i move the batts i can have about 5 more inches.

looks good. ive seen and felt a few FIs get pretty warm on the dustcover when getting rated power. Randy or Assman the one with the F150 his 18 inch BLs get pretty warm on the dustcap after playing for a little. Hes got 4 powered off a T40001bd down to 1 ohm so there getting anywhere from 1000-1200 watts RMS. Then i seen a guy with a civic and he had a 15 inch Q and it would get pretty warm. never any problems though

hope to see some numbers soon and see what your hitting
