pimpedout97x

thats what i thought. thanks

rings for the rear fill mids. 1 12" and 2 8's behind each front seat. was going to mount them and start getting it fleeced up ready for glass, and....

not too hard. theres not much stretch to it, but what i covered wasn't that hard.

i ordered 4 12" Eminence delta mids...tested on my receiver in the house....LOUD...on no power....they're gonna see 400+w EACH in the hhr... few weeks ill order the 8 8's as well, those will see around 200-225w each. heres a sneak peak. 1x 12 and 2x 8's per front door, and 1x 12 and 2x 8's behind each front seat. 12 mids in total, and about 3400w rms total. 8 bullet tweeters as well (2 per door and 2 behind each seat) with about 125w rms each tweeter. should get loud this is the 12. its huge. and loud. ima be deaf, thats for sure!

what would the power be for each mid (1700 x1 @ 2 ohm) with 2 8ohm and 4 16ohm mids? just curious.

I actually am running 2 amps so im going to separate them. Just thought of that lol

One last question to confirm. What if i ran this instead: 2x 8ohm 12s and 4x 16ohm 8s. That'll still make 2ohm. How much power would each mid see then?

it was like 3 different colors, so i decided today to give it a quick and CHEAP makeover. about $5 worth LOL didnt tape much of anything off, didnt sand or prep, just painted it flat black. wheels, most of the frame, gas tank. looks 10x better than it did. only can see imperfections up close. obviously not gonna stay this way, just for the summer while its good weather to drive it. when its winter and too cold to drive, its getting parked inside, completely stripped, and powdercoated. im thinking of powdercoating it matte black as well, becuase i really like how it came out. i thought black was the last color i'd want (was thinking about something bright to stand out) but to be honest, i really like it as it sits for the most part. i painted about half of it like a Home Depot gloss orange before the black, didnt look bad, but i just wasn't feelin it. what you guys think? plan on lowering it soon too. the only major things that aren't black yet is the exhaust (wanna get that done professionally when i get the frame PC'd in winter) as well as the fan shroud, tranny, diamond plate flooring, etc. welding a roof on the top too (just in the little open section above the seats)

of course. you know how we roll

makes sense! thanks! amp is going to be a crescendo 2ch amp. i ordered 16 ohm 12's today, im going to have to send them back to PE to get the 8 ohm versions. i WAS going to do 2 12s and 14 8s, for a total of 16 mids, 8 per amp at 2 ohm, and run all 16ohm mids. but i cant fit the last 2 8's anywhere in my setup, so i have to ditch them, hence the reason for this thread (now only 7 mids per amp, so i need one 8 ohm to keep the overall load at 2ohms). good thing though, the 12's are rated for 400w rms, so if i go with the 8 ohm 12's, itll take the extra power. the 8's are only rated for 225 so that should be fine with 212.5 watts. (eminence delta 12 and eminence delta pro8, 16ohm)

Really? More power to the 8ohm? Please explain The amp is 1700 @ 2ohm. So roughly 212w per mid if i go with 8 16ohms, or 248ish eacb if i go with 7 mids, one being 8ohm.

thanks!

Want your guys opinion on this. On my HHR wall, Im thinking of covering the inside of the ported chamber in suede as opposed to painting it. Would this affect sound or performance any?

bad pics, covered pieces of the trim panel on the wall too. not screwed in just yet. starting to look like something though lol

plasti dipped the stock shift knob wrapped the bezel, dash is almost complete. my bass knob, in place of the rear wiper control

the sides will be covered at a later date.

na sold those about a year ago lol

gonna suede these saturday. and this too. this will be the darker gray suede, and there will be a border around it covered in the lighter gray suede.

One thick coat of the hammered finish on. I'll put another coat tonight when I get home. matches my suede pretty well.

well i've been laid off for almost a month now, so thats why progress halted. starting a new job next week making alot more money, so once i catch up on some bills, ill start finishing this up (didn't have money to be spending on fiberglass and stuff the last month) this didnt cost much for the paint, so i finished sanding it pretty good, and hit it with some texture. i put about 3 coats on, looks REALLY clean in person IMO. they didnt make it in any colors i liked, so i hit it with this, and then im using a gray hammered satin finish over it. it looks like it matches my suede pretty well, and i like it better than black.

ill look into that m5. im sure it would if you had everything needed for it to be street legal. its registered, has a tag, insurance, lights etc. same as a car.

hey m5.. my buggy has a bus tranny and reduction boxes on it..which i want to remove.. can i remove the reduction boxes and keep the same tranny, or do i need to look for a tranny out of a bug and just swap it? my uncles has im sure a similar motor, but he has a bug tranny and no reduction boxes. my top speed is like 55 and he can get to like 75+ with still more to go. i can be in like 3rd gear maxed out and he will still be crusing mid 2nd gear. mine will climb up a hill or sand way better than his, but we both drive them only on the street so i want to make mine more street friendly.

pics? they go for around 2k-4k around here, couldnt find anything cheaper.. my old one was 400 bux but it was just a rolling chassis..by the time i put new parts on things that needed it and a motor/tranny i woulda been around that price anyways

Nope but i got my amp tweeters and hu. Need to order my powerbass 4xl mids lol
