meade's new build

[meade916 10+ year member]

no ETA bro, no hurry either, after all this is the "hoopty". I got forever and a day to do it and nothings changed around my homestead..... i still have my regular 6:30-4 job so if i have ANY progress for the day im usually happy. I still have tons of **** including paint, new wheels (no spinners this time), new interior, new mids/highs.......new bags (old and cracking from being flat so long). Ive got my work cut out for me but lucky for me he has tons of cars and dont even notice this ones been gone.....and has been at my house for MONTHS and MONTHS. We knew we werent gonna start for a minute so its not like im ****in the dog or anything LOL. We/He had other obligations before this thing was to begin.....

anyway ill start a REAL thread when i get some more progress....//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Hey steve I like that amp ya got there. Just outta curiosty how stable of an amp is it. I know rockford makes good high end amps its just it seems with something soo beefy that if you had a problem you would almost be **** out of luck. I mean would you be able to get those caps to replace inside the amp yourself if some went bad?

i imagine if theres a problem they will be quick to find a solution for me.....RF is VERY good when it comes to that type stuff, as long as its under warranty and wasnt a transhipped ebay purchase //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif Of course it wasnt so everythings cool. Not worried.

Well good luck with the system, Ill prolly keep track over on ROE I post there alot more. And that thread didn't turn into a huge bashing party.

I guess I don't know the whole history of this build but I wondered after looking at the pics, why not start out with the caddy ESV? I would think there'd be enough space for 12 of those bad boys.

because he had this car just layin around collecting dust with a terrible system in it (from the previous installer).....we figured its the perfect specimen to do what we want with. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

also, a T15K is BARELY enough power for 8 BTL's......12 would be underpowered.

I think that amp should be powering some jackhammers. I mean come on, a useless amp deserves a useless sub //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/tongue.gif.6130eb82179565f6db8d26d6001dcd24.gif

ok it;s not useless, but at its pricepoint it is lol.

id hope that they are pretty good with the warrenty on a $20,000 amp.

must be nice to have all that money

 

[meade916 10+ year member]

dont dwell on the price too much.....a 50" plasma was $10,000 not too long ago and now look...$1700? Less?

New technology is always thru the roof. I doubt there will be alot of these around but the technology used in it may bleed into other amps.

That's true, but a lot of people like to have tv's, not as many people want T15k's. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/cool.gif.3bcaf8f141236c00f8044d07150e34f7.gif

Edit: but the technology for that's used in the T15k will be used in other amps hopefully which will make it cheaper.

your tellin me about prices of stuff. **** 10 years ago when i first got into this a 1000w amp was unheard, and the few made were like a grand. I just bought a Lanzar Vibrant used off ebay for like $40 and they bench a little over 900w keeping voltage at 14v lol.

Don't get me wrong. If i had the dough to blow. I would have 2 of them lol. However with my budget the T15k is useless. I do hope the tech filters down quickly though. Mainly for its efficiency. i don't really need 15,000 watts, but it would bed nice to see 2000-4000 watts with the same efficiency as that monster.
