Vids soon???

jesus christ, my back is in severe pain, i think my hands are broken and i have scratches all over my arms, all from trying to get the sub in to the box ITS THAT HEAVY, i couldnt even lift it out of the box to drill the screws in, ahh man,

also powered it up after a few problems with the wiring and amp settings i got it running, but its not that loud for some reason, this is my setup

7 cubes, tuned to 32hz slot port

18" BTL dual 2 ohm FL

aq2200d

LPF is set to around 80hz

subsonic is around 25hz

gain is set with DMM at 44volts, 3/4 volume and 50hz tone

yeah i hear ya on trying to get it out of the box

thats strange how a after market head unit can completly change the sound of the sub, atleast im hoping it will

sort of noticed the sub wasnt loud enought when i could still breath properly and the car wasnt vibrating like crazy... like all them vids on youtube

tomorow ill go and get some tnuts, and some bolts to fit through the surround, and re do all that, then when ever the hu is instock ill order it.

Yeah I definitely stopped buying equipment from car audio shops years ago once I noticed the price difference online.

Things have changed as of late, net prices have crept up (shipping anyone???) and b&m prices have crept down. In some cases, it may be better to buy b&m. I bought the 8 id8's in my sig from b&m store, rather than from woofers etc., I ended up paying 20 dollars more for the whole thing, but ended up with a local 2 year over the counter exchange, which kicks the shit out of what woofers etc will do for you.

Never had that problem, 9 out of 10 times online is cheaper for car audio than a local store (Im always going to shops and comparing there prices and they have dropped some but not to how how low they are online). I dont really care for warranties since products usually f-up once a warranty is over with anyway, unless you baby them like me then they last longer.

To the OP why dont you wall it or face it up. Did you think about laying the back seats down and placing the box on them?

nah it just looks like that, but theres plenty of room,

also i was thinking about putting the back seats down but then the box will be at least 5" or so higher, im thinking of strapping it down to the seats a little so it doesnt move around so much while driving.
