  1. Does it do rated? Of course, it'll hold one shirt. Will hold two shirts if you strap them, lol. I do have to do plastic molding packaging design, I could probably do a woofer. The cone, surround, and gasket as one piece would be the lid to a bowl shaped like a driver with motor and basket intricacies.

  2. guys, these are in full production mode right now. I am hoping to have them within a week, week and a half......maybe 2. I know i said March but i waited too long before dropping the cash to get it started. Its a pretty expensive piece to build and a heck of a check to write to get the process started. The first phase of the release is as follows: just a raw unit like the ones you saw online. Adjustable, everything else, a really cool piece.....but you will have to get creative on your install to make it look right. We are in the process of having a smoked faceplate tooled for it to make install a little easier and look a little nicer right out of the box rather then having to fab up your own faceplate. The price of the raw unit will be $119.99 I am guessing it will be another $10.00 for the faceplate once they are ready and that will be phase 2. I will sell them separately in case you buy raw now but want the plate later. i know it sounds expensive but you would shit if you saw how much each one was to manufacture, let alone the million other things that go with bringing a new product on the market. Also, keep in mind, we are a small 3 man (and a few helpers) army so when/if business picks up to the point where we sell VOLUMES of products, we can more easily reduce prices. At this stage, this product here is still DAMN close to being a 1-off still. I know its not, but this is a BIG planet and the first run of 100 is still a small batch. (in the big picture) so grab up one of the "100-off's" should i start a presale? Maybe i will set one up and reduce the price a few bucks just to see who really wants this. Remember, it is a fun light show but becomes functional if you use a DD-1 to set it up. I'm just sayin! hit the "like button" if you think i should start a presale. Its a headache to take money before the product is here but if you want to reserve one of 100, i think i might be able to set that up. I need to see some support or i will just quitely put it on the www.wcCarAudio.com site and call it a day instead.

  3. Hi guys, this is my first post, but i have been on here a lot through Facebook. My brother and I are building an electric vehicle. It will feature a WarP 9 motor and a Soliton1 controller. This combination can deliver 1000amps continuous up through 300v. We will not be taking it that high haha. We plan on running 10 batteries in series for a total of 120v. This leaves a lot of room for upgrading when we want it faster and helps keep costs down. We have looked into Lithium already and feel that with our budget (as low as possible!) it is not a viable option. It also has to do with our confidence with on road charging of lithium on a cross country ride we are doing to help benefit Breast Cancer research (more on that at the end). The controller will be water cooled, thus it can do 1000amps continuous, granted we will never see it for more than about 30 seconds for hard accelerations and speed runs. The vehicle will weigh under 2000lbs so it should haul some serious ass. Math says 180hp and about 200-300ftlbs of torque but that's for another thread haha. The main question here is would the XP3000 battery work in place of a D3100 and be able to put up with everything? It says on the site max discharge of 3000 amps so we are not close to that. It weighs less and has a higher capacity (both pretty negligible) but the biggest point is the price! They would significantly reduce the cost of the battery pack. Plus we are running them for the 12v aux system anyway (2 of them... got to have a good stereo). If anyone has any experience with these bad boys could you please chime in because we really don't want to make a bad decision... Opinions are welcome too. On the topic of the Breast Cancer, this vehicle will be dedicated to help finding a cure. Our mother was diagnosed about a year ago and can happily say she is a survivor. It was caught SUPER early and she went through radiation (not chemo) and is now doing better. She is on meds for the next couple of years and has to go get regular checkups to make sure everything is ok. Needless to say, it took a HUGE tole on our family and we would do it all again in a heartbeat if we had to. My brother and I want to see a world one day that doesn't have anyone who has been hurt by Breast Cancer (or any cancer for the matter). We are driving the vehicle from Tampa, FL to Grand Rapids, MN where it will be shown at The Geek Group (non profit organization, www.thegeekgroup.org). Lithium has its issues with continuously being fed current and still isn't safe enough for us to fully trust. Lead is tried and true and its easy to work on, and is VERY forgiving. On this ride we are going to stop though many major cities and hold events to help raise money and EVERY CENT RAISED WILL BE DONATED. We are OK with eating the cost of the trip (requires gas for the EV to run the recharge generator, hotels, food, and for our chase truck... just in case). The panels will be painted black with a pink ribbon raised off of the panels. Anyone is welcome to sign the black areas, and donors are allowed to sign the ribbons, all in permanent marker, which will then be clear coated locking in the signatures forever. Multiple panels will be made so they can be swapped out when they get full. I would LOVE to see six figures at the end of this trip, all going to charity (it will all be documented by the books of course), I know it is a lofty number at best, but we both have shown that you can do ANYTHING if you put your mind to it. It's like this massive inspirational story that I don't want to get into right now haha. The vehicle is a custom built 4seat tube chassis that uses a VW front and rear end. 1965 Beetle up front and a 1970/72 bus in the rear. It is built to NHRA specs for a roll cage and will protect anyone who is inside in the event of a rollover or crash. 5 point harnesses and Corbeau racing seats at for all 4 people, safety was kind of a big deal. It has a 3rib bus transaxle and should top out a around 100 due to gearing (the bus was geared LOW due to low hp). It should easily smoke the tires (or the clutch haha) in 1-3 with 4th for cruising. Nothing like all of your power and torque at 1rpm! Sorry for the long post, the really important stuff is in bold for an easier read. Thanks for the help in advance! Tarsman013

  5. Gotta be picky. I didnt expect it to be the first person to post to find the only problem. Pretty damn good attention to detail other than that it looks good. I would switch it up and make it a 1.2k so it is the actual size.

  7. Yea we have discussed the new lvl5's as being a good option as well.... I've got 3300ish per sub so I knew I'd start running into problems its all good tho damn.. lol i was hoping to get close to 3500 rms on my m1 xls. but if your tearing them apart on 3300 i dont think i wanna go that much haha. i cant afford new stuff all the time EDIT: my xls have the 5 med 1 stiff spider pack. but since your not failing at the triple joint im kind of uneasy about putting that much power and congrats on the score! thats LOUD AS FUCK
