Hove's Rebuild #3

Recommended Posts

Sorry Hove, I did not mean to take your topic off track. Good luck with the build I will be tuned in.

No worries. I know where you are coming from. I understand everyone's point about PSI. I like to try new and diffrent things. I am going with PSI because they seem like a decent woofer for a good price. I just wanted to hear them my self because alot of people i know are cerious also, so since I am doing a rebuild I went ahead and ordered the PSI for my personal experience and to help out some other's who have questions and is cerious about PSI also.

Plus theres are only temperory, I will be upgrading to Argent Audio sub's when they are available

A LITTLE update.... I did a LITTLE more work yesterday. I am redoing all my wires from my previous build, checking everything twice making sure it's perfect. I am trying to pin point my idle voltage drop issue. I redid my big 3 yesterday double up all my grounds and 2 runs of power from alternator to battery.

The HO alt i originally received from DC was black and white powder coat but they accidentally sent me the wrong casing... I didn't wait to wait any longer so I just went ahead and had them send me a regular one with no color. makes no difference to me lol.

Under the car where i connected the grounds to the frame. The nut was to big for the ring terminal's and due to lack of the right tools i had to sit there for a half and drill the holes bigger lol

Love the double runs of 1/0 for all the connections under the hood. Great lookin' mids!! I can understand the tweeter delema, in the pictures they don't look big, but once you start lookin at the measurements it's like damn were's that gonna go? Great/funny vid by the way!!! Interested in how you adapt to the tweeter size.

Nice build.

Serious work.

Did not understand how many saz 2500 you will use : 2. 3 or 4 ? Your PSI subs are strong enough for so much power ? Did not know that. But you're coming from Nightshades 18" !!!

He is running 2-2500D's and one 100.4, he didnt get the nightshades since Jacob was out of motors. Why wouldnt his subs be strong enough for his amps? His subs are customized for his application (power needs and enclosure size).

Since i don't have any speakers in the back door. I am gonna take a 6.5 ring with out the cut out in the middle... and just cut it out so the tweeter will fit and mount it in my back door's. Should work and be a good idea lol

Like jay-cee said exactly. If i am not pleased with the psi sub's I will get nightshade v2's when the motors in stock
