burko

I'm cool with how it sounds now I did it like that so my back seat could still be *somewhat* useable. I can chunk stuff on top of the box with no issues.

I heard that man! No idea on the time frame really.. Waiting on a .pdf from Michael that I need to sign in order to return the amp. As soon as he sends me the thing I need, I'll ship it to them, then it's out of my hands again We'll see

Better vid! Still on the Brutus :/ Watch in 720p!

Appreciate it. Hooked up my bro's amp w/o changing a thing and it played wonderfully. This led me to believe that the amp is faulty. AQ has been contacted. Maybe I'll get a new, properly working one soon to show it's full potential

^^ Good advice! Here's a little teaser vid on my brother's Hifonics Brutus. My AQ2200D wasn't working correctly. Audioque has been contacted for an exchange.

Something is faulty in the amp. I hooked up my bro's Hifonics Brutus (I believe it's rated at either 1800 or 2000 watts), and it played beautifully. I'm EXTREMELY happy with my box, sub, and wiring. I guess I just got a faulty amp? I'm gonna try to contact one of the guys from AQ and see what my options are for a new one. I'll put a vid up of it playing on the Brutus in a few.

Installed all of my wiring today, and I had a bit of a problem. I have the gain at about 1/4 until tomorrow, when I'll set it properly. The sub is getting power, I know that for a fact. When music is playing, I can hear a slight murmur of the beat. The bass remote to my AQ2200D constantly displays the red "clipping" light, but I find it odd that the "power" light is not lit up. I'm almost certain from viewing similar problems that the responses I will get are, "quadruple check your wiring!!", but I did that before it all was installed. If there are no other options, I'll pull everything out and check once more, but I doubt this is the case. Does anyone know a possible problem that could be causing my system to do this?

When I unhooked the speaker wires and reset the amp, the clipping light remained on. This tells me that the wiring of the subwoofer is not the problem. I then unhooked the RCAs and reset once more; the light remained on. The RCAs are ok. And yes, the switch is set to master According to that, I would assume it could be only a small number of things. Either the ground is not good enough (I have no idea if this would cause my amp to display a clipped signal), a wire is grounding where it shouldn't be (perhaps somewhere in the engine compartment?), or the amp itself is malfunctioning. If there are any other possible resolutions, please let me know. If I don't have a functioning system by tonight, I just may

I know, but it's not what they're built for.

I hope you're not planning on using N3s for a daily setup..

Hey guys, I was just wondering what the tuning frequency of a box really means. For instance, if my box is tuned to 35hz, will it simply not play any frequencies below that level, or will it sound like complete shit, or...? I just wasn't sure exactly what tuning frequency affected. I've read in a few places that higher tuning generally yields more spl, while lower is more geared towards sq. Why is that?

Dude your work is ricockulous. Amazing stuff

Ordered fuses, fuse boxes, terminals, and volt meter. Should get everything some time this week or next

Hey everybody, I picked up my truck yesterday, so it's time for the build to begin. IT's a black Z71 on 24s for now. 133k miles, interior looks brand new, overall great shape. If you don't know me well, I'm a 15 year old and this is my first setup. Equipment I've already ordered/received: 1 D2 18" Fi BTL N2 1 AQ2200D Thinking of running a D3400 in the back. The battery in the truck is basically brand new, so I'm leaving it as is. The guy that had it before me actually had a setup extremely similar to mine; an 18" SoloX. He had the big 3 done already. I got really lucky with this, seein as how I had no idea this truck had previously had a system in it. The guy knew what he was doing too; his family was workin on a car when I got there to look at it. They showed me a civic they built with 2 Sundown 18s and 2 SAZ-3000s. Made my insides tremble. That was without a doubt the loudest system I've ever heard. He had it walled off. Pictures of the truck later today.

Will do, thanks guys!

Did a quick search on the forums and came up empty. I saw somebody post a link to one on ebay a while ago, but I can't seem to find it. I'm not positive that that is the correct name... When I say voltage meter, I mean something like this. Feel free to correct me if I'm using that phrasing incorrectly. Just wonderin where I can find the best one for the money.

Soooo......what happens if I design an enclosure with no peak? Yeah, what he said.. Hell if I know

X2 ~49.67"

I don't buy anything unless it's from Cali. But naw, I don't really like the look of the round ones.

I need copper ring terminals and fuses/fuse holders, and I was wondering if you guys had any websites that sold the best ones. I've searched ebay and a few other sources with some luck, but I'm just wondering if there's a better place to get them.

Really depends on the police officer. I've found that the older ones seem to be the cooler ones (which is backwards when you really think about it). The young bastards are the ones that think they're bad asses and can ring somebody up for some unnecessary charge. I guess the older ones just realize how people feel about officers that are just trying to meet their quota... At least that's how it is where I'm from. Could be the other way around in another part of the country. I've always respected officers, but some of them don't deserve it. I've always thought of it this way: If you're standing there chilling by the store, a cop pulls up, gets out, and throws a bag of cocaine on the ground, and arrests you, who is the judge going to believe? The noble police officer, or this punk drug dealer? Just my .02

Saw that the thread was starting to go downhill... I can giv halp? Thanks man, I appreciate it. I would have asked for help here on ssa, but no one here does really big builds. Know what I mean? Yeah bro I feel ya. Some people are just flat out better at building shit than others. SMD is the place to go for big builds like that. Yeah thanks No prob

Good luck with the build

YES.
