When Ups Men Attack

[violentrapture]

I love me some men in brown - make me happy every time in see them:

Soundstream PCA-2000D :eek:
Soundstream PQ-7

(2) Audiobahn AW1008T subs (no plans for them, just picked them up from Joel... because - and these suckers are *heavy*) :P

[wrightie]

that sh1t is gonna pound

[cherrington17]

violent, why not just go all out and get the tarantula amp? :P

[violentrapture]

Tarantula is nice, but I needed matching amps for my install - hence the PCA-2000D and PCA2.520 (160x2 and 1500x1 - power I need)

~vR

[Spitfire]

Wholly shi* insanity!!!!!

[cherrington17]

also.. tarantula costs 2x more then everything you have laying there. lol

[violentrapture]

lol, not a chance - even new the Tarantula monoblock is only about $1200 from a reputable shop (saw one go for $500 not too long ago on ECA I think it was).
The PCA2000D is ~650, subs run ~250/ea, PQ-7 is ~150

~vR

[Coldfire]

Can't wait to see that installed! Nice purchase :thumb:

[cherrington17]

hmm... i guess i was just remembering back when the taran. was new... ~2000.

and you spend 650 on an AMP!? wow.. you have much higher taste then me. lol.

[violentrapture]

heh, the amps I really wanted would've been about $6k - dual Helix X2000.2 (1 running at 2x265@4 for the fronts and 1 running at 1x880@4 for subs).

Someday... my goal is a McIntosh deck, the Helix amps, Rainbow CS 360.30 components, and Velodyne subs. Haven't quite made up my mind as far as processing.

and a bigger wallet than me :(

[Coldfire]

/\ lol, me too. I could afford a $650 amp...if I didn't eat for like 3-4 months. No biggie!

[ptrudel]

you're nuts dude lol...i cant wait to see all this in man, should look great

[violentrapture]

heh, I like buying audio stuff and trying it out - purchases for the past couple days are:

DEI 1100d
Image Dynamics NX30 tweeters
Diamond Audio M6 components
Phoenix Gold Xenon 100.2

The Soundstream stuff is going in as the final install though.

~vR

[Narsil]

My UPS guy just usually drops stuff off, he doesn't attack me! J/K that is some hot audio equip you've got there!

[ptrudel]

did you win the lottery or somethin? lol :P

[violentrapture]

Job = good thing. :P And with the various forums you can float a couple grand and keep swapping equipment around for awhile - my current amps (DEI 500/2 and RF 1500.1bd) are already sold as soon as I pull them out of the car - the Rockford for almost double what I paid for it.

~vR

[ptrudel]

nice...i hope you're in business then lol

schwing - sorry, couldn't resist. ;)

[mikegett]

Even out of the car your equipment has me jealous. Of course, I only have a set of JL comps and a two channel amp in my car at the moment. It doesn't take much to turn me green with envy. Keep us informed of your projects. Later, Mike G.

[cherrington17]

^.... :wtf:

so.... anyone want to head over to VR's house and throw him a little "steal your sound stuff" party?? :P

[sound_xtreme]

i have his address! :x lol

[blueyezalero]

^^^ So what's his address??? I'm in Texas!! j/k

[violentrapture]

Got something sexy in bed beside me - think my girlfriend will be jealous? ;)
Picked it up tonight (PG x600.1)

Triple Darlington output stage, underrated by about 100 (birthsheet shows 718@2).

Going into the girl's install:

'98 VW Beetle
Source: Panasonic CQ-HX1083U
Front stage: not 100% sure - either Bravox Kevlar 6.5" or CDT CL-61A
Front amp: PG x100.2
Rear fill: none of course
Subs: 2x10" Image Dynamics, sealed
Sub amp: PG x600.1

Let me tell you something, these new bugs are a PITA to work on.

Anyways, should have some install pics up in about a week or so when it's all finished.

[MixtapeMessiah]

ha ha I live in texas and we gonna have a meeting july 8th, so watch out rapture I might just jack something hahahahahahaha jk jk dude, I aint gonna do that, Im gonna have the gayest car there anyways, all i got is rims and a system, everything is just gheTTOOOOO lol

[mikegett]

I wouldn't complain. I don't even have the full aftermarket install and I work for a audio company. Damn bills and other hobbies have done what I swore would never happen. They stripped me of my pride, dignity, and stereo. :angry: Oh well, give me a few months of overtime and the Titanium subs are mine. Oh yeahhh.

[violentrapture]

Eclipse Ti - you bad boy :smokin:

[mikegett]

Oh yeah. A pair of these babies have been haunting my dreams for years. Titillizing me with there sensual curves and smooth cones. Adorning my lap (laptop that is) with full color spreads. With no shame in showing it all. Oh yeah. Many squeeky nights. In fact, I think I just had another.

[violentrapture]

:eek:

Hate to see what would happen if you held one of the Aura 18s (which I so want to hear)

[cherrington17]

maybe i'm missing something, but why would you pay $800 for a 18" sub, that only puts out 800W @ 86dB???

[2sidesoftodd]

i've never seen a sub that puts out power, so i guess that could be worth some money.

[ptrudel]

holy SOB...man, i cant wait to see your car at ASS now lol

[violentrapture]

lol 2sides... very true

[violentrapture]

Well, I'm playing hooky from work today and decided to have some fun - the ID NX30 tweeters came in, so without further ado, pictures:

All you need to have a lazy Thursday:

http://www.collind.com/pikshures/stuffs.jpg

mmm, crossover

http://www.collind.com/pikshures/crossover.jpg

14 ga. tweeter wire - oh the gluttony

http://www.collind.com/pikshures/spwire.jpg

But I can't find any solder, whatever shall I do?

http://www.collind.com/pikshures/etape.jpg

When you wake up after a night of drinking and you have this next to you - it was a good night

http://www.collind.com/pikshures/seatmess.jpg

Bottom line - these are f'ing amazing tweets - handle power so much better than the CDTs, vocals are much cleaner, and overall the sound is less fatiguing. Off-axis response is a lot better too... optimum location is by my feet, cross firing.

woohoo

~vR

[ptrudel]

thats an insane setup you've got goin man :thumb:

[cherrington17]

ok, violent... can you explain what all those sub stats mean?

i'm not really a noob... but i'm no where as well versed as you or mike gett... :lol:

[violentrapture]

Cherry - This is my handbook (I do literally have this printed out and stuck in a notebook along with other car audio tidbits I've seen and want to remember) - explains things fairly clearly and easy to understand.

http://www.eminence.com/resources_data.asp

[violentrapture]

woohoo, mo' goodies:

Both the UPS man and my apartment manager hate me:

http://www.collind.com/pikshures/newups/boxes.jpg

These should sound tasty:

[cherrington17]

this thread isn't about your car.....


honestly... i think its "watch violent go backrupt" thread...


and i'm having a swell time doing it!

[violentrapture]

lol
well, to keep things going - got one more for today (only 1) :(

Can anybody identify the stealthy, unmarked but nicely beefy sub? (shown next to 12" RE for comparison)

http://img92.imageshack.us/img92/9317/topfront6fe.jpg
http://img92.imageshack.us/img92/9066/topback6ae.jpg
http://img92.imageshack.us/img92/3302/side8ys.jpg

To make it interesting - if anybody does actually guess it correctly, they get the 12" RE - just pay shipping. ^_^

~vR

[acold7dusta]

thats alot of speakers...if you got any leftover tweeters with the X/Os let me know

edit ill take a very weak guess to that sub-JL W6?

[violentrapture]

Nope - basket is wrong for a JL. Good guess though!
I have a set of Pioneer TS-C130R (5.25") components I'd let go for cheap - message me if interested.

Cheers,
~vR

[battistoni21]

i'm guessing its possibly an eclipse or an infinity?

[violentrapture]

Not Infinity - getting closer with Eclipse, but still a no go. :)

[FormulaNERD]

it's an MB Quart, now ship me my sub

[violentrapture]

DENIED!
Not an MB Quart - surround on those are completely different. (This is gonna be a tricky one, but there's a free 12" RE on the line!)

~vR

[FormulaNERD]

dude, that cant NOT be an MB Quart, that basket is IDENTICAL

[violentrapture]

Similar, yes - identical, no - it is not an MB Quart. :)

http://img134.imageshack.us/img134/4893/mbqdwe30413nz.jpg

~vR

[FormulaNERD]

i know the front is different, i figured maybe the one you have is a model year or two older or something

i was just judging on the basket :P

[Cliff8928]

I'm just going out on a whim and saying it's an Aura.

[violentrapture]

Not an Aura
*hugs RE tighter*

[Cliff8928]

That's crazy if it comes like that and there's no markings on it. It must be some obscure brand that performs very well (and probably very expensive!) knowing your taste. The only other one i remember seeing with a cone shaped like that is a JL audio, but then again, I'm not much into this stuff..

[violentrapture]

heh, yep - comes with no markings just like that - fairly obscure, performs very well (from everything I've heard - haven't tested it yet). However, they aren't very expensive. ^_^

[battistoni21]

is it another RE or a cerwin vega?

[violentrapture]

nope and nope :)

[2fst4u]

is it a JENSEN JSP1244? just guessing by the shape.
or maybe an audiobahn AWIS12P that has the chrome cage taken off.
who knows

[sound_xtreme]

soundsplinter?

[violentrapture]

nope to all

[battistoni21]

lol this is frustrating!

[sound_xtreme]

TC Sounds?

[FormulaNERD]

well you only get one guess, so it looks like the contest is over and nobody wins :)

[violentrapture]

woohoo, joel got the builder, but not the model - and it was indeed a second guess

[battistoni21]

:angry: damn...... lol that was fun though.... hey VR if he isn't getting the sub how much for it?

[jwth2005]

Yea seriously how much??

[violentrapture]

lol, it's already been spoken for by two people. :P

Although, I did just get 3 tasty boxes today (one is the Soundstream PCA2.520 for my fronts) - got some stuff up for grabs:

12" JL W1
12" Polk MOMO
the TC Sounds that was in question (It's a TC Sounds TC2+)

The whole deal with TC Sounds - they're a buildhouse in San Diego that makes the drivers for Eclipse, Soundsplinter, etc. - the one shown could have turned up as an RL-i or any number of other subs.

[violentrapture]

he did it again - amazing thing is... the 2 channel is bigger than the mono

http://img81.imageshack.us/img81/4075/ampsub5rz.jpg

[jwth2005]

hey man seriously interested in those subs... please get back to me on how they sound and what kind of power they need

[battistoni21]

lol collin i think the ups man has a crush on you :wub: :lol:

I'm sure he's at least on a first name basis by now! ha ha!

[Doomgiver]

Damn violentrapture, that car of yours is gonna be insane when you're done!

[violentrapture]

lol, thing to remember here is almost none of this is going in my car permanently.

What's going to be in my car:

Source: Eclipse CD8445 (might change to a Pioneer Premiere DEH-P880PRS)
Front stage: CDT HD-6 mids (might change to SEAS Reference drivers), Image Dynamics NX30 tweeters, CDT Satnet-560 crossovers
Rear fill: none
Subs: 2x10" Treo SSi
Front stage amp: Soundstream PCA2.520
Subs amp: Soundstream PCA2000D

All the rest of the audio goodies are just for testing and playing with :P

~vR

[sound_xtreme]

we kno our UPS guy by name here. lol

[eag182]

Where do you get this money?

[mikegett]

I think he is actualy a male Gigalo. However, I am contemplating the possibility of turning him into the Government as a member of AlQueda. I'm not greedy. All I would ask for as reward is 90 percent of his system.

[nickgonzo]

looks like an ED B-series.
