new sub. fi no more

[MattismodderX]

i got a really good deal on this sub. it was custom built. 2000rms. even on my MB Quart 1000.1 it sounds a noticeable 3-4 db louder then the Fi BL. shakes your insides a lot harder. no i just need a bigger amp :scpimp:

pics of the nightshade applied on page 2!

Wow look at the motor on that bastard...Damn! Hey that looks like some small ass wire on that sub...guess it will need something allot bigger?

well the sub/amp needs bigger wire all around. it has an 8guage running from the battery to the amp (yeah yeah i know...) and i have no idea what guage the wire running to the sub is. its big enough to where if it was a size bigger it wouldn't fit into the terminals. when i get a bigger amp ill upgrade the wiring to either a high grade 4guage or a 0 guage. ive heard terrible things about knukonceptz KLMX aluminum wire. its 10% copper and 90% aluminum. x_x

[JLw7123]

I would go 0 gauge.

Looks like 10ga or 12ga from the sub to the inside of the box. Wire upgrade needed indeed when you go with a bigger amp. If your run is about 12'ft then you are good up to 480 watts with 8ga on the amp. I'm no expert...that's what my chart tells me...LOL!

yea. the wiring was originally for my 500rms boss amp. ended up melting in my buddys car. lol! but new wiring to come in the next month or so. i still gotta update the boom mat install page. i may not even need it, just due to after i took out all the trim on the inside and found all the rattle spots. its near perfect. only thing that rattles to an extreme is the doors. weather strip on the trunk fixed that rattle against the backglass area

[Ryan from Ohio]

I smell Wolfpack FSQ.

Would only be logical since you bought a box from Bill.

He also has a strong opinion on the KLMX wire... I havent used the revised stuff but the old stuff and it sucked.

Personally I would avoid it and go with the proper stuff.

Anyhow... amps...

I got a few to fit...

If you want to buy the whole 1/0 AB kit with an amp I will do it for $60 (at cost)

[MattismodderX]

I smell Wolfpack FSQ.
what now?

and id rather go along the lines of buying a used amp then spot the extra for a new one.

edit: shocker sticker ordered xD

[Ryan from Ohio]

Hahahaha I knew what it was looking at it.

Well hopefully you got a deal.

What happened to the Fi? If your going to part ways with it I may be interested in it and having it reconed.

Theres plenty of used stuff out there. I know Bill is selling off his Hifonics amps, but they are not cheap and way more power than you need.

[Afugy]

Nice sub dude, looks like someone went a little glue happy with the recone, did he use a brush.


still waiting for a good show to go to. :scpimp:


Side note: going to be doing my dudes S10, think 2 15", 3 blowholes, and d&b's B2.

[Ryan from Ohio]

Now you did it.

Im anticipating a scathing post from the builder of that sub.

I like Bill like a brother, but those subs can use some cosmetics. Something as simple as a CF dustcap. A magnet cover... Something.

But if thats the worst thing I can say about those subs, then they must be good.

The glue... it was the fumes man... They took over his mindz

[Afugy]

I shouldn't talk anyway, my'n don't look much better, then again the ones I do are covered by grilles.:p

[Ryan from Ohio]

Well its not terrible looking.

Bill got all Peeved because I mentioned the cosmetics before. Basically it being plane and visually ugly (in my opinion).

They perform though, and thats what matters most.

if you want pretty...go get a sony xplode. :p

[MattismodderX]

2"x2" shocker sticker was ordered. i think its appropriate

[Ryan from Ohio]

lol

I think you should of put a funky pup sticker on it.

Now that would turn some real heads.

[lonnie]

Paint the basket black to hide that glue and call it a day. Or like Ryan said put some stickers on that bastard...LOL! I like the fact that it looks hand made so it will shock the shit out of people who think it would perform well.

Is that the box that it is going in?

[MattismodderX]

yea its in there now. ill snap some pics at work in the box tomorrow. the inside is almost bare. t shirts are used around the 6x9 deck so none of the wires rattle against anything. temporary of course.

lol

lmfao if you can find me one i will buy it and put it on the sub. epic! google search ended in failure

[Ryan from Ohio]

I got funky Pup images...

Just need someone to make a true sticker for you.

Those subs are the comical wonders of the car audio world.

That would make it that much funnier a sub with that sticker on making people cry.

:lol:

[MattismodderX]

i have an insane amount of 3m spray adhesive. as long as its a thicker material with no stick back i can attach it to the sub

[cherrington17]

speaking of stickers... weren't you going to send me one of your company stickers, ryan?

[Ryan from Ohio]

I was?

hahahaha

I will dig one out for you.

[MattismodderX]

Ok so today i snapped some pics of the sub, as well as sprayed some VHT Nightshade on all the tail lights! heres the pics

EDIT: you can see the weather stripping on the trunk lid on the part closest to the back glass. rattle fix ftw

I need this. I swear that piece comes off my trunk at least an inch then slams back into the lid with total authority. It's just awful.

On a side note, i'm jealous of the tails, boy they look mighty fine! :)

nothing wrong with klmx at all. best there is for the price. stay away from crunch and massive. that crunch amp puts out half rated power. ab amps are nice
