  1. a buddy of mine is selling a pair of xxv colossus 3200 rms @2 for 375 or 700 for the pair, i can give you his info if your interested
  2. i find bass really calming, dunno why but i sure as hell miss it, been without beat for about a year now and it sucks
  3. i'd say go for it, but i'd also try talking him down by 100 or 150 from that 700. I'd say you have the advantage because not many people are going to want to buy car with a blown engine. Oh, and i'd ask to see if you can run a compression test on that second motor so you can get a better idea of why its smoking- just my .02
  4. well, the box size is going to be influenced most by how much power you plan on putting on those things
  5. i've used armor all wipes before and never had a problem, and it made my subs look great
  6. i was thinkin rusty was gonna die after lifting all those heavy ass woofers all day when i read the title
  7. why are there two small holes in the box? if those are supposed to be ports you need to do some reading. If you dont want to rebuild that box, i'd just cover them up and make it a sealed box
  8. wait, if your running active why do you have a separate crossover listed as items that you used? step 1 purchase a better amp that does at least 80watts rms x2 @ 4 ohm, hook up crossovers as passive, set hpf of better amp to 80-100 hz
  9. well, clipping causes a great deal of distortion, how many watts in rms is each side getting? i'm betting not enough and (as said above) the gain is too high causing distortion. Also, what slope is the crossover and be sure its actually at 80 hz, try going a bit higher to see if it will clear it up a bit
  10. THAT IS NOT THE WAY TO HOOK UP AN AMP!!! First before your car catches fire get a good wireing kit, this is all you need for your size amp and then some and its only 16 bucks Upgrade the wires under the hood and you'll be fine knu konceptz 8 gauge amp kit
  11. the one thing mike didnt discuss i the vid is what size wire to use. you would think the larger the better, but if you put 1/0 wire on the + of your alt and its not made for it the bolt can then act as a resistor and build up wayy to much heat and possibly melt components of the alt. 4 gauge that short can carry more than enough current for your application
  12. wow, nice job i'm diggin the bp in a car, never seen one laid out like that before
  13. are the metal gaskets overlapping each other? it looks that way in the pic, i'm diggin the high roll surrounds, looks just like the ones on my sqx's
  14. i always wondered how it makes the box "feel" larger to the woofer, and this seemed like a good opportunity to ask?
  15. i'd say with that kind of power 4.5 will be too big, 3.5 would be plenty, especially with it being tuned so high for daily
  16. na, i think the wheels are perfect for that car, any larger and it would take from the awesome look of an older car. Good find!
  17. i remember someone else on here having one of the old body style durango's with a pair of re 12's and a 1200 watt amp, cant remember who though
  18. lol raced it against a go cart.....my friend used to race 125 cc shifter carts, 0-100 in 5.3 seconds, and 0-100-0 in less than 10. He said he had to squint when he hit the brakes so he could see
  19. i hear you on that, i have a statics class with an asian professor and i can barely understand him, not to mention it seems like he just teaches straight from the book, but with a TERRIBLE accent. Luckily this semester is the first that this has happened (english speaking teachers ftw), so i just have to be a bit more selective while choosing classes next semester
  20. i was def thinking about e8's, but will they work well in a small sealed enclosure? (.3 per sub) and what kind of mounting depth do they have, cause were just cutting it with the jl's
  21. i'm pretty sure it wasnt staged, the kid has like 5 other vids of his brother freaking out, but then again i've heard of google paying people who have high vid views so who knows
