Watch in 480p :p
Camera automatically saves in mp4 format and I don't have the software yet to convert it to edit, so it's one straight cut. Enjoy. :scpimp:

Is there any supporting mods that are under the hood or is that park bench there just for "looks"?
I was looking up video's a while back of a guy that had an old setup and when he was recording his rearview mirror I saw the spoiler in the rear. I was gonna post it up about how horrible it sounded, and the funny spoiler. I guess you got it covered :haha: :haha:

First of all, it was my FIRST EVER audio setup I had put in a vehicle, consisting of two old school (circa 1994) subs, and a $34.00 amplifier off of ebay. Cut me some slack! :rolleyes2: I had that amplifier bridged to 2-ohms, with it being 4-ohm stable. Got a 139 on the Term Lab.
As for the wing, the feelings are mutual buddy. Ship me a black lid and i'll paypal you $100.00. I've been checking scrapyards for a year now, and i'm not dropping $150.00 on a bare bone lid. I finally saved up enough money to buy my first car at 17, and I make one bad decision, and I got everyone on my back. :( But I agree. People just hate until I get them inside. ;)

And brah, give me another 9,000 watts rms, and a van. I'd be balling my eyes out if some kid in an Alero showed me up with substantially inferior equipment. ;) And hey, I STILL have seen better. :scpimp:

Question first, what amplifier, and do you know how to use a subsonic filter? These songs get down. I believe it is track 8 in zip number 13. ;) Good stuff, dude knows what he's doing.

Don't think I haven't debated that. ;) Now picture this, the video you were watching. That is one coil, off of 1400ish. About a week into ownership the stitching one the one coil's leads ripped, and they were rather frayed and have snapped. I did my best in soldering them in my last box and they still snapped. Before I put it into this new box I did my absolute best with only about 3/4" sticking out from the cone to work with... yup, the readout on my amp is 2.3 ohms and they are 2 ohm voice coils wired to 1-ohm. Therefore, a coil is out. :( But the good news is, I called the owner of DC Audio and he is shipping me a recone FREE of charge because it is covered under their warranty due to the stitching and slapping. Wait til you feel the 3k damage. :)

Not bad! If I missed it what did it do on the termlab? Looks to be close to a 140-142 DB.

Here's the story.^^^^^ I did a 142.0 @ 40hz on one stinking coil. Pun sadly unintended. Plans: have a d1 recone coming. Going to have it wired down to .5 and can't wait to see how 4k treats it. :) Of course for burps only. The knob is a nice feature to have. ;)

I have a regrettable Bomz Racing aluminum spoiler. Lol, but still on the hunt for a new lid so I don't have to worry about filling those holes. Some kid with a cavalier is offering me $75 for the wing, so it's his as soon as I get it off. ;) Oh boy I can't wait. lol... But no sound deadener whatsoever. Don't want to invest too much into stuff that will stay with the car because i'm hoping for a new vehicle in a year or two.

Lets say at least $1000 in just the DC Lvl 4 sub, wood for box, Crescendo 3kwp, and 1/0 wire. He also has 2 Deka Intimidators which are badass. So I really dont know how much it cost.
But yes he did every bit himself.
