Hi,

This is one of the vehicles we have for "demo" purposes in the UK.

Setup is 6 x LV4 18's with 6 x Sundown 1500's. (They are stacked 2 tall).

Considering its "just" 9K it pulls a 155 @ 25 hz with ease

Just thought i would share with you guys where we are at with the SPL car in the UK.

I am sure you have seen what we have done with eddhicks chevy etc, but we are also entering a db drag streetmax panda.....

We have 2 x Level 4XL SPL subs and 2 x Sundown 4500d's

Strapped at 0.35 - 0.175 per amp rising to approx .085 per amp.....

either way....

we have done a couple of mods this weekend - waiting till wednesday then more testing

Nice man!! New UK Record in the books hahahaha

Rusty - give me a time its good to call you soon - need to sort out some things about getting more subs for this

So this weekend we have been mostly sanding, painting and getting headaches from the fumes.

Having decided that our first priorities should be to do a bit of work inside the Marbella's enclosure, we spent most of Sat afternoon and sunday morning getting the exsisting paint sanded down - using 60/80 grit first and then after primering going up to 320 grit.

Then we laid on 2 coats of Ford Radiant Red, which is as you would expect both Radiant, and quite red! We chose this to match the dustcaps on the DC subs as closely as possible.

There is now going to be some final flatting and polishing after the 2 coats are on and then a decision will be made as to whether a third coat is needed.

Next thing to do of course is to give it a burp and see whether its made us any louder or not!!

Cheers to Craig who pulled in a favour to get this in his workshop as its not something we could have done outside for obvious reasons.

Heres a Video of the Car burping with 1 x Sundown 4500d in it, and the 2 x XL18 SPL D1.4's

Its not even finished yet!!!!

Theres no rear trim panels, because as the 18s are only in 4.5 cuft each we will be extnding the box to give more space - should gain the lows 2-3db by our reckoning!!!!!!!!

However cool you think its cool - times by 10 as thats the largest vehicle you see in the UK other than semis, pretty much!!!!!!

May 16, 2010

Heres our current Project!!!!

Consider the average car in the UK is equivalent to a ford escort......

Eddhick - 6x DC Level 4 18"s, 6x Sundown 1500d's (9000w), Rear Ported tunnel, approx 4.5cuft per sub, tuned to 29.

Total Average ((((Propper Droppers)))) Score = 154.42 db

Peak= 155.24 @ 25hz

20hz= 152.63

25hz= 155.24

33hz= 154.29

40hz= 154.72

Jasper -

you amps a 2 toroid one.

jamie lied to you about the power on the amp - 2.6k @ 1 OR 0.5 ohms MAX mate. Should have got the sundowns off me and not a 6 year old US one that is now 4th hand!

nice bike ..... just dont try to kill yourself ...

I try to do the exact opposite lol!

May 8, 2009

nice bike man. i have a 06 cbr1000rr

Aah the last of the "pretty" fireblades there justin!. In the UK, our roads are so much smaller, congested and bendy, that smaller engined lighter bikes (600's not 1000's) tend to be faster on the road, in "real world" riding.

Bike was £7500 UK, Ducati 848 is £10495 UK. Got it on interest free 0% finance, so was rude not to take that offer up!

May 7, 2009

Cylinders that is.

Just ordered my new bike, decided on a Triumph Daytona Triple 675 in Diablo Red.

And the Demo bike i rode....

Ordered from the factory, will be here within 10 days! YAY!

Rode an 848 and preferred this, plus it was £2k cheaper!

As I sad, I thought it wasn't paint.

even though it is

April 12, 2009

What is that black thing you have laid on and for what purpose?

Thanks.

what do you mean? the box is just painted in black paint. because its louder

April 12, 2009

Heh, very nice build!

cheers dude - loving yours too - want to see how the scores compare, yours has more power but less cone area, ours more cone and "theoretically" a squarer better loaded box, but as we know with SPL - its all down to the lanes. http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/public/style_emoticons/default/hairtrick.gif http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/public/style_emoticons/default/hairtrick.gif http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/public/style_emoticons/default/hairtrick.gif http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/public/style_emoticons/default/hairtrick.gif

I wouldnt take the heatsinks off of those bottom two amps. Maybe that was just to show the internals, but I hope you dont plan to keep it like that. The casings do actually serve a purpose, Heat dissipation.

We havent removed the sinks, only the bottom covers - the amps are mounted upside down! Then we will be replacing them with plexiglass bottoms a-la usamps!

Dave.
