  1. Move away? But if the cops don't want to deal with it then maybe your only option is vigilante? Or at least return the vandalism in every way you can. Obviously the cops must have dealt with the perps before but to no avail. That's tough man. I'm unfamiliar with gun laws in Cali, can you carry concealed where your at?
  2. Here's your fused subwoofer idea. Click me gently
  3. Oh yeah, lovin it. Your girl has a nice system. You know I be reppin it, homophobes goin hate, but ladies love the pink! Most love my system has ever gotten.
  4. Sell the amp, turn it loose on ebay with no reserve. There are plenty of people who will over pay for it, then you can turn around use that money on a mucho bigger amp. A nice Audioque AQ2200 or Sundown SAZ-2500 would beat up those W7s nicely. Box is pretty and looks nice, I'd leave it as is unless there's a lot of small flaws in person.
  5. Sorry man, you have no photos. Double check your settings, can't look at your photos unless I'm your friend. Got any vids of the 6th order?
  6. You know, a great way to advertise is show off some of your past work. Examples make you credible, so how about putting some pics on your facebook page that show off your best work, and maybe oh i dunno make them visible to people who want to look at your page first before adding you on facebook? Just an idear, its your little business.
  7. These are my favorite threads! Whenever Ken, Scott, Ed or Jacob post up build threads of one-off subs I'm all over them. Sub looks awesome Jacob, those spaces are pretty cool.
  8. Use wood glue, liquid nails is messy and useless. Liquid nails is not very strong either when used with MDF, however I have used it in walls frequently. That's about the only time I've absolutely had to use liquid nails. Titebond II is all I ever seem to use anymore. I have two small bottles I just keep refilling from a 5 gallon bucket I got online. And you only need silicone if your not very confident in your cuts. A well built box should never need silicone.
  9. Mike Singer? Sixteen 15"s? A 4th order? In a Suburban you say? Well, here comes another 160db daily driver on like 500watts. Yeah I'm watching
  10. Then you are lucky my friend, I've had damaged equipment come through USPS and UPS just as often as FedEx (not often but it does happen 2-3 times a year). But they always take care of it, FedEx however likes to point the finger at you. I've never had such colorful conversations on the phone before. I've learned to beat them though. If FedEx is absolutely necessary, just request an electronic signature and make the delivery dude stand there while you open the item. Its the only way I can deal with FedEx anymore.
  11. Check mah sig! -vvvv- I refuse to use FedEx ever, FedEx only offers benefits to companies. There is no reason the average consumer would ship FedEx over any other provider. Period! That's not biased either, I have hundreds of experiences with all four providers as I have a USPS, UPS, FedEx, and a DHL center within twenty minutes of me. FedEx is slow, FedEx doesn't care, FedEx is dishonest, and FedEx is expensive. Makes my blood boil just thinking about them.
  12. 120A worth of fusing, multiplied by working voltage. (120x12.5=1500W) take 1500W by its efficiency, which I use 70% as a standard. (0.7x1500=1050W). So, that amp should make at least 1000W RMS.
  13. Your gain should never be all the way up. In fact I haven't had an amp in my car in the last three years that has had the the gain more than half way, but I always have high voltage pre-outs (Eclipse FTW). And bass boost is a no-no on both amps and head-units, do not use it ever. Start by turning your amps gain all the way down. Set the Sub level on your headunit to zero or flat. Put a heavy bass song on at your normal listening level, and slowly turn the gain up to a comfortable level. And later on down the road, whenever Meade announces the release of the clipping indicator, pick one up to accurately set up your amplifier.
  14. The 6500 does not like low voltage, probably why you've smoke it before. GET A VOLTMETER! And 12-12.5 is a great minimum voltage. I wouldn't let it go any lower than that or you're asking for problems. Got build pics?
  15. You could start with pics of your wiring. Wiring is where people cut too many corners and get lazy or cheap. As far as alt and batts that is plenty of electrical behind that amp if its all wired sufficiently and correctly. And for christ's sake get a volt meter and wire it up to the amps terminals so that you know exactly what kind of voltage it's seeing. Why people dare go over 600W without buying a basic $15 stinger voltmeter is mind blowing.
  16. I inherited my first amps, the original punch 45 and punch 75 with the wires and plugs. The 45 ran all four of my speakers and the 75 was turned loose on the subs. I had also inherited two 10" Kicker Stillwater Separates. My old man had bought them new forever ago. I guess you could say I was old school spoiled Subs looked like this.
  17. Do this, and your amp will work perfectly. And that is a damn good amp, should treat you nicely. Once you learn how to wire of course
  18. Only set the voltage to 15+ when your parked and you know you are going putting a demand on your electrical to the point where voltage drop starts to be an issue. Otherwise for daily use 14.8 is the highest I would go if you are running kinetiks.
  19. They will start to swell over 15v. If you have a VCM just keep the voltage at 14.8 or lower for daily and only bump it up to 15V+ for demos. Some get lucky but they do not like being on a constant 15v+ charging system (especially the ones with the older decal). They are great batteries, but you have to treat them right. XS can take it, I've also had good luck with C&D batts on 15V+.
  20. No, CCA is not bad. The KCA wire will carry around 250 amps of current and the fleks will carry 300 amps. KCA will safely support 2500W worth of current and the Fleks will support 3000w worth of current. Both are a great choice of wire.
  21. Can I ask whey you screwed the EQ to the dash when you have a perfectly good half-din slot below your headunit? Build a box and clean up your wiring, looks like a good start.
