Speak Peak

Just got home... Was down at the shop from about 11:45am-9pm. It was makin some noise... My camera doesnt work 1/2 the time and I forgot it anyway, so no videos yet.

Theres a problem with one of the amps going into protect when I really get on it, just gotta figure out whats causing that. Havent tried anything with low notes yet, but up at the higher notes, like 45 and up it rattles your teeth. So just gotta figure out whats making that one amp freak out and Ill be in business. Hopefully we can get it taken care of tomorrow so I can make the show Sunday. We'll see what happens though, cant promise anything.

So as soon as we get the mids/highs in and get the amp problem solved, I think Ill be real happy with it. When its sealed up it just about rips the doors off the hinges. Gotta get the problem fixed before I can really crank it and play some music though. When you're putting 24 subs, 6 huge amps, 10 batteries, tons of wire, etc in a car, something is bound to go wrong. Its how it works though... All big systems go through that. My last one took a good bit of tweaking before it started playing right. Johnnys setups with the 18 15s would always freak out before he took a solid day just troubleshooting and tweaking the amps and settings.

We'll see though. Just gotta figure out the amp thing and we're in business. If we can get the amp taken care of, get the front trim pannel on, the mids/highs wired up, it will be totally done. Then when I got everything fully finished and done playing with it, Ill take new pics and make some videos (if my camera works).

Thats the update for now.

 
Speakers are in... Read my message again lol

They are in, just having a problem with an amp going into protect. 99% sure its not the amp though because if you turn it off and turn it right back on it works just fine again.

lol just didnt have the balls to do the 10s randy ur still my hero! lets just say 20+subs club thats betteR?

 
Well still havent gotten all the bugs worked out... There is 1 amp that keeps going into protect on low notes, mainly when the doors are open.

But with the deck just over 1/2, EQ volume on 1/2, and sub level on 1/2, its NASTY. Doors closed and windows down is straight up violent. Even completely sealed up its pretty much just as loud.

Got a line driver put in today to help boost the signal. After we put the line driver in so far the rear view mirror came off instantly, and after a couple short tones the emblems/badge on my passanger door broke off. Its just a nasty amount of pressure it creates. For some reason the subs are barely even moving... Maybe 1/2" excursion at most. Not sure why, gotta figure that out. As it is the pressure makes it pretty hard to even breathe. Even just sitting on the floor of the cabin I reach for the steering wheel or door pannel to grab onto because it makes you so dizzy. You can actually feel it **** you in on the higher notes and push you out on the lower notes.

So far Im real happy with the sound it makes, even though its not even playing correctly yet, and hasnt really been turned up much past half. Batteries are sitting at right around 12v, and havent even installed the alt yet or anything like that. So Im guessing if its as loud as it is now, when everything is completely finished, its going to be rediculous.
