CACO show is in Waukegan, up by me, so your turn to make the trip.
3x dbDrag/bass race points event, plus USACI and car/bike show.
Team DOA should have 8-10 cars at this one, plus there should be some 160+ vehicles there...
what time is it saturday? lol i doubt il beable to go i cant get off work again
-
Got one guy on DOA running a soundigital 8k amp. Still not sure how it is for daily as he blew his HDC's with it the other week and wasn't much louder then when he had 2 sundown 1500's. Reconed his subs the other night, so he'll be metering at the CACO show on Saturday.
Some kid said $40k in the sundown one truck which I knew was BS unless that included purchase price.
Don't think I'm ready for Tommy if he can burp at .25ohm as he has a TON of cone area. But 30sec average on music would be a diff story as I can play full tilt for several minutes straight. I only burped at this show, so I could get a baseline for some upcoming changes....
yeah im kinda the same way bout them SD's i just dont knwo about htat small ass footprint.--- lol if it was a kid that said that bout the 40k then its not true 99% of the "kids" there dont know squat about anything lol i know most of them.
and where is that CACO show?
-
haha amen to that im always have to drive chicks around that are like obsessed with it cuz my while headliner is that way lol. the JL truck is Sundown One's. it was one of those accomodation things lol they prolly dont have as much as everyoine thinks in it. Ther is a couple things about it that could have bene doen different. the ports are acually firing into the roof with about 3 inches of clearnce. so im surehteres some standing wave issuses goin on. and also they only have 1 stinger battery on those 7 amps lol. hes got 3 kinetik 3800's sittin in the shop but they dont have time to put them in. im sure it could b louder haha
and im notsure yet i want to do a stetsom 7k2d. Tommys tryin to talk me into them soundigitals but idk
-
hey thanks joe i just got the fax at the shop for the 19th. im gonna drag robbies ass up there wether he likes it or not haha
-
4 AQ3500's and alum coil subs. Reconing to copper next week as I just can't push them hard enough with box rise as it was a nightmare squeezing 18cubes in there.
Wall is tuned to 36Hz for daily and plays music VERY well...
What's the specs on the enclosure with the 2 9518's and how much power? We have a guy on DOA with 2 9515's off 2 AQ2200's doing around 148.5 in an explorer. Just needs more power...
BEAST as hell man. and its also good to see someone else out there with SHAGG in their car haha
-
well i thought i would hit higher than what i did but that box is for daily not really comp so i guess i will have to figure out what i got to do with my port so i can get some higher #s....but i was a really good turn out even tho it was a little rainy
lol poor robbie... were gonna have to take that biotch out next weekend for canton and throw that old box in there4 hahahah
-
BTL set up will be loud once you throw some power at them.
o yeah im sure, and i cant wait! you had quite a loud car yourself lol loudest at the show!... and BTW what were you running for amps a few of us have been wondering that?
-
145 @ 58hz. ??
who??
-
HAHA no one knew aBOUT my BTLS! lol im gonna make a build page ssoon. that 145 run was on rob's DD z3 amp with wires runnin out my window into his car! HAHAHAHA.
PS, tommy's incriminator van will do a 159 burp with his good amps. him and aaron wer over ther tryin to get his DB amps to run at .25 ohm and it shut them down. which gave him the 149. ahha
-
is it gonna make a huge difference from the middle to the drivers side on the meter>
-
im walling my 1999 chevy silverado right now with 4 15" btl's and im stuck on where i should put the port. i have to room on the top and bottom and ive either gotta go with driver's side, passenger, or the middle. what would be the best choice?
-

It is my competitor as well as the shop i work fors competitor so of course 20-25 of my installs will be there as well as a ton of other people. there last show had a big turn out so this one should be the same. i will be competing in this with my yukon in cone area class 5. as far as i know it will all be cone area based. the last one they had didnt even have classes and it was bs but there was really only 3 cars there that made it over 140db on term lol. it also is just an audio show so u dont HAVE to compete. so if you just have a nice little system u just wanna show feel free to do so. if anyone wants anymore info feel free to PM me about it and i hope to see some of you there!

I finally talked my best friend into a false floor in his 2006 Subaru. I had to work with all of the equipment that he already had, 2 Power acoustic FUBR 10's, which acually are really well built and can take a beating, a sony xplod amp, that has been through atleast 7 of our cars over the years, and some bulk wiring i had laying around. he also wanted the JVC EXAD double din that fit perfectly in the dash and looked great. becasue of the wear and tear on the amp i decided it would be better to take off the cover and just expose the guts and use som eplexi over it. here are the pics.. and sorry ahead of time there is sort of a gap in the install pics where i didnt have a camera.
becasue of the odd shape of the well and the space i needed, instead of fiberglassing i made the bottom piece and cut 4" peices of mdf and glued and clamped them together in a circular shape kinda liek they make bongo drums. after that dried i stregthed it all up with reinforced filler.
next came the big headache. becasue of the way the tire well was built in the car, the subs would not fit in the middle of the floor and becasue to have the port the way i wanted. so i had to stagger them, and the way my friend is he kinda likes stuff crooked anyway so we decided to do the same with the amp.
i ended up with about 2 cubic feet of volume. it was on the small side especially after the 4" areo went in. i used a 4" elbow in order to get port length.
the top piece is 1/2" mdf. the cutout areas will have plexi under it that will have the back painted pewter just liek the 2 tone color of the car. then i will put green leds firing into the plexi to make it all glow.
the subs had been sitting around for awhile and the surround was discolored and it looked liek garbage lol. so i took some SEM vinyl paint and made her brand new.
i also had ALOT of problems surprisingly with bracing. those 10's do some justice and i had alot of flex. 4 2x4's did the trick lol.
-
wow thats funyn that were talkign about this i just got a text sayin its knockin bad lol
-
SUm FI's???
hopefully. ssd's would work alrite. those amps are 500 rms though. hes got an AC Overdrive in t here also so with that high volt preout i think ssd's would be nice. but hes wanting me to do a full blown alarm n shit also so idk bout his $$$$$$
-
looks sick how does it sound?
it sounds alright. im not really a big JL fan tho. he had them in the small sealed box and the amps werent gain matched at all so they have been abused to some extent. i noticed a slight knock at high volumes intermittently out of the left one so i could see him getting new woofers in the future lol
-
alrite i finished her about a week ago and here are the pics. i made room for a kinetik hc800 battery in there that will be added later down the road. you will see where it wil go (blank black window)
there will also be blue led lighting arounf the sub triangle (which is why the trim panal sits off the box 1/2". i jsut have to find some 12v rope lighting lol
lol and i know my pics suck i need to get a new camera!
-
pm'd you a few questions about the box bro, looks so sexy lol.
haha thanks man i thoguth so too. but i think this new job mite be moree sexxy haha
-
they are polk audio momo carbon series. the 2nd 4 channal will be hidden. and for crump t-1... i may go it depends on if i am busy or have to work. i hate driving it that far also lol read my post i put up on my yukons page i explained alot of whats been going on there.
-
so here is another car i have been slaving over at night after work lol. The kid bought this car out of state at a REPO auction with all of this equipment in it for a HELL of a price. the equipment alone was worth it lol. But it was a half-done hack job. the MDF rings they used for spacers were leaking air so bad all you could hear was air noise. the chambers were a cube apiece which is no where near enough for the w6's. All of the wiring is top-of-the-line Monster Cable. i would hate to know how much he paid for that stuff lol. it also had a 2nd 4ch momo amp that i couldnt figure out what it was for... i searched and searched and nothing. come to find out hes got aura ass shakers in the seats lol. but anyway i had to make it look fancy and match the car. so here it is.
P.S. il post pics up of the original later.
amp rack
the cover board will be black vinyl. the box will have brushed aluminum laminate. the coverboard will also be standing off the box 1/2" for some ropelighting.
amps mounted up temporaily
the aluminum still has the film on it. i also made some carbon fiber rings to go around the subs and aero as well. it also has the film on it so it looks a lil wierd.
more pics later!

Sorry To Jack, but I live in H-Town, and I wouldn't mind delivering my car to you to get some work done. This Kid is a genius when it comes to installing. I'm working on replacing my RX-8 with something new. Where do you live (tahoexfixssd) and what's you starting price, I may actually do that when I pick up the new ride.
i live in chatham which is right outside of springfield. i work at Benchmark autosound in springfield monday-saturday 9-6. if your in the area let me know first and i will figure out a time. None of my work is connected with the shop at all. its on the DL LOL
