lithium

do an 18 if u wana be different..

i was planning on aiming new a-piller pods on axis for the 3". would that still work? i dont mind trying... since i have holes in my a-pillers already lol im trying to get some pictures uploaded from my phone but im having bluetooth problems... but here is what they kinda look like. link 8's are goin to be a tight fit, if i go in that direction im pretty sure i could force some sls 8s in there. i forget the distance from the door panel to window (when its down). id love to say screw door panels and completely cut them to hell and fiber glass them back to life... haha

well thats alittle hit and miss from what some ppl experience... sometime ppl run into a situation where the sub enclosure is too big and effectively "chokes" the path that the sound would travel from the trunk of the car to cabin... (unless u do a wall haha) i cant say if this will happen to u or if u will even be able to get a box for 2 15's into your trunk... without actually building it in the trunk itself... keep doin research before u buy your system! its not so much the equipment thats the issue... install is everything!

id budget kinda like this... (just an example) deadening-raammat-150* sub-single 15 fi bl w/ options-400* amp-sundown-sae 1200d- 350* total- $900 *estimated w/ shipping **the only product i have had personal experience with is the raammat, i picked the bl cause u wanted something Fi for subs... and i picked the sundown cause i want to buy it for myself haha

have u left room in the budget for some frontstage or deadening or will those be added later?

very nice install

how about u start out with giving us a budget and some more info on what u are trying to get out of your system (not just substage)?

check all your RCA cables too, it may just not be getting a signal (hopefuly haha)

try the ipod thing to rule out a headunit failure

get a dmm, put it to ac voltage, unhook sub, put dmm on amp speaker terminals, tell us the number (if u dont get a reading then the amp is probably boned..)

op says tuned @ 33hz lovin the port insert thingy.. very nice

u just used "SQ" , "coaxils" , and "eargasms" in the same paragraph... lol u might want to do alittle more research before u drop 2 grand on this shit

did u install these yourself? where are the crossovers located? what kind of power are they seeing?

gl on the build

just got back from the theater aswell. deff a movie worth seeing

mach 5 ixl has great reviews with about that power aswell nothing wrong with under powering it

The new carbons are different, I forget what the differences are tho.... If someone Has the ts for the carbons, I'd like to see them.

from personal experience raammat > dynamat extreme. cost wise u get hellz more raammat then dynamat. performance wise id say raammat looked alittle thicker.

caps = fail

Looks correct to me. should have been ~22.5 volts i believe

wow... either it was clipped to hell or he had it wired to 1ohm and getting like 900 rms (if it makes rated power).... or both x2 power and clipping lol

might aswell give it some headroom since he wont be needing to run rear fill. maybe active down the road??

u dont have to give them the full 300rms but with your "icon pounding" you might need alittle more then 100 a side...

ya or even 250 on components and 150 in deadening for front doors. and yes, bridge the amp to the comps

the factory wire from the battery to the terminals under the hood are probably pretty crappy, if your planning to do the big 3 you would have to upgrade those wire (or run new ones along side it) in addition to the rest of the steps
