HHR Ed

ok. Just curious. They do move a "fair" bit but nothing close to some I have seen online. That guy with 11k on 4 of them in that crown vic had crazy excursion EDIT: they are dual 2's I was told to wire them like this : I dont have a cc-1 only dd-1 so running each seperate would be tricky Wire a pos from one coil to a negative of the other coil. Do that for both subs. Wire the two remaining positives to the positive of the master amp. Wire the two remaining negatives to the positive of the slave amp. Connect the two ground terminals of the master amp to the two ground terminals of the slave amp. You were told wrong. Well not totally wrong, but not optimal. Amps can run more efficiently and more reliably as individuals. And you do not need a CC-1. or dd-1 And when strapping amps, perfectly even gain settings are much more crucial. Best wiring scheme for that setup is to have each woofer on its own amp. Coils of each woofer wired in parallel. You can easily gain match those amps with a few techniques. 1. If they have a slave/master use that and you are done 2. use a voltage meter and measure the AC voltage on each speaker wire output. You can do this without the woofers connected and just make each amp read the same voltage. 3. Look at the woofers playing as you adjust gain. Play a solid tone and just adjust the gains until each woofer is moving an equal amount. People have been gain matching for 30 years before CC-1 or dd-1 so I think you will be fine.

Also what coil impedance are the woofers? I am curious as to why you have a series/parallel strapping scheme going on when it is usually a better way to go with each amp on each woofer separate.

short answer YES. To add some info, how far a woofer moves is also dependent on your enclosure, your crossover settings, your program material, and your vehicle.

Yeah I was reminiscing and came across some old footage so I made this vid. The bunny loved that box. He wanted to leave coco puffs in there.

that is not for his vehicle it is an example of a 4th order I was thinking about for my self. Just a way to get his thought process going on his own. 36 tall is what the OP said he had. Floor to ceiling in there is much higher. I wonder where this measurement is being taken. Is this a C pillar wall? also 48 seems like a between the wheel wells measurement. To do a full wall you can get a few more inches in there.

36" height seems small for an escalade.

No not really, but some people that dont get camera tricks think so.

this is my 2008 build http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/35764-ed-lesters-hhr-build-in-08/#entry511451 The other box from 07 wasnt documented too well. This was all before I had my own camers, before I was a member on SMD, and before I had YouTube or Facebook.

There is one somewhere. Probably around when it won SOTM in early 2008

not sure about that.

Thank you, maybe I should build another like it.

This was March 2008, first time I got my HHR over a 150 and this is me playing around inside a store.

When I was working on Trippi's Hummer I had a bunny rabbit just walk into my shop and look at me. Then at night a fox came up to the Hummer and looked in the open door and stared.

from 07 Finals. team BK DESTROYS the biggest baddest woofer in the world? The DD99Z 18s. The 2nd vid is violent. They had 4 DDZ2 amps to each woofer and were doing 161 dB

says 50k http://www.taramps.c...2=417&prod=1440 dag, @338vDC kinda like that Stetsom amp. That must be a new fad over seas

Ground Zero has a 22,000w amp and Taramps has a 30k

Check it out Homies

Looking good

Thanks guys. I am going to be doing a series on in car and bench testing products as well so stay tuned.

This is a review I just did upon inspecting the new gear for ShowtimeCarAudio

toon on a what now?

Can I buy your Gemini?

Some people these days dont know how good they have it. They complain that a 1000w amp costs $250 but back in the day it would be damn near $950

Im in Knox. Got my office there and starting to do some installs at my garage soon.
