  5. 1st time fiberglasser...

    Alright since i bought this 92 ford mustang I have attempted to put several different (wood) sub boxes in it and have not been satisfied. So I finally went out and bought materials to fiberglass a custom box to fit in my trunk (i know most of you have seen mustang trunks and how small they are, especially the older models) So b4 i get started anyone have any tips i should know on what to do or what not to do?

    If you need some help you should go to the "Tim-ay......aka Groundpounder2k2's Corner" the link is http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/ind...hp?showforum=67

    He's real good at fiberglass work, so if you don't learn something by just looking at his section you could shoot him a pm and I'm sure he'll be glad to help.

  7. I got screwed on my new 18" Sub by a local dealer

    in Subwoofers / Enclosures

    Posted

    I bought what I was told was an 05 RE xxx 18 from a local dealer (not an RE dealer.) They said it was a consignment. It had a fresh recone and looked massive, but Im by no means a pro. Not even a little! I get it home post pics on here and everyone was kind of like WTF? So I send pics to RE and find out that it is an Atomic APX18 motor and basket with a garbage recone with too small of spiders, the cone doesnt sit flush against the spider, the tinsel leads are short enough that they will snap under power, and that it is suppose to have a bolt down ring around the spiders for in field recones which is not there! Then I speak to Atomic and they verify its their APX motor and basket but crap softparts. I call the dealer and tell them and their like "Well how were we suppose to know, we dont carry RE). I told them they advertised an RE XXX 05 18 and they are responsible for grossly misrepresenting the item. They said they will talk to the person who consigned it and get back to me. An hour later I went into there shop and told them we need to figure this out because this is very frustrating and I have a lot of money just sitting there. He told me if I didnt leave and let him make a phone call then he wouldnt help me. He then told me I had to give him RE and Atomic's number so he could verify what I was saying, so basically calling my a liar. I gave them their numbers and am waiting for the outcome but this is absolute B.S. I guess its what I get for being in a hurry (I didnt want to wait for shipping to buy from the manufacturer.) Either way I think they are being absolutely rediculous and unfair. They lied and now I could be stuck. It shouldnt be legal. The only thing RE about it is the dustcap! If you want pics. they are under "new sub" in this subwoofer section!

    I'm not 100% sure but this sound like you MIGHT have a case for "False Advertisement" against them. I'm not sure how that will turn out though.

    Either way, I hope this get settle the right way.

  8. More noob questions..

    Alright, so i have narrowed everything down for the system i'm gonna buy in a few weeks, except for the amp and subs..i was looking into memphis but then discovered DC and i can't decied on what i want, two lvl 2 12's, or two lvl 3 10's, orrr save up and buy the lvl 3 12's..and for any of those, what amps would i need? and should i make my own box or buy a pre made one?

    =\

    I haven't had any experience with these subs but from what I've seen and heard I would say go with either of the Level 3's....and the lvl 3's are rated at 600rms each so if you just want them to run at there rated power go with any amp that is doing 1200 true watts rms for both and they should be fine, but I've heard that all those subs could take much more than they are rated at.

    And about the box, you should always make your own, cuz pre-fabs aren't all that great.

    I'm sure all of this will be backed up by people on here that are rocking DC.

    i know how you feel same thing happen to me in april but not i got my truck and system will come in time. nice new car

    how much that cost you?

    It really hurts huh, but that's good that you got your truck, and waiting for a system sucks too doesn't it, I hate riding sock.

    And thanks for the compliment.....I had to pay $3000 to the financing company and $4500 to the previous owner.

    I thought it was a good deal.

    dont let the wreck hold u back. dont lose the will to go big lol.

    Well I am gonna do big thing just not things that will tear it up, I've only had it for 1 day and I already plan on putting possibly 20's, a good SQ system, and some suicide doors for the back (to get a semi Rolls-Royce Phantom look).

    And I'm open to ideas but yeah, I might open another thread when I get some more money to get some ideas.

  22. Need some help from experts

    get a refund and buy some better subs for less cost

    i.e DC FI AA SUNDOWN

    X2

    The 18" Fi BTL start at a lil over 4 hundred plus the options and personally I think that would be a better choice.

    But if you feel like you HAVE to get a w7 you should get then 13.5 not then 12, but that is way on the expensive side too. IMO.
