Lots of time put into it thats for sure, hope things go well for the both of them!

Good luck on your move, hope things go smooth and you find work. Have a safe drive!

All I can say is you gotta pay to play lmao. Agreed though underground just means not mainstream.

Correct but the wire has to be able to handle the current aswell, Never fuse over what the wire can handle. To the OP, Check your coils with a DMM and see what they read, sounds to me like the coil on the "blown" one came un-coiled.

Like above posters said ditch the cap, check to see if your alt is charging correctly. If it is reading right try try just the amp without the cap and go from there.. Honestly it sounds like its either a bad alt or a bad charging cable from the alt, could also be bad connections on the exciter wires of the alt (check the small plug that plugs into the alt if after jumping the car your voltage isnt reading 13.5-14.5 volts. Edit as you posted while i was writing: Seeings the battery was mostly discharged borrow a battery charger if you can and charge it for a few hours at a low amp rate to get a good charge.

Funny story on that, my tape measure tip messed up and all measurements were 1/8th too large so the boxes wouldnt fit between the strut towers without alot of force. They fit tight like this and I loved the way they looked, actually gained me nearly a half DB on the TL from flat facing and sounds alot louder to the ear this way. I should really get back outside and do some more sanding on the door pods but its about 95 out today so I take lots of breaks

Speakers back in so I dont have to drive around with just pass side mids/highs Tie in of the fleece Bondo work 2 days after tie in with chop mat Bare door, this is the only sound deadener in the entire car right now :/ Well lots more work to come, this is my progress over the last month and a half or so. Started the door pods about 3 weeks ago and drove around with them up til last weekend when I finally had the time to start doing some glass work.

Started to work on the door pods.. Mind you Ive never worked with fiberglass other than the corners of these boxes. Ive done quite a bit of body work but thats about it. Positioning of the speakers My buddy cutting out the door panel behind the speakers so they fit in Both done and mounted Drivers door installed Passenger side installed Glassing drivers side

10's Installed Amps mounted 10's go boom boom stop on inward stroke of a low note... (one had a dead coil before this other locked up) So 12's it is!

If it aint tight it aint right?? haha First test fit before false floor 19 month old son helping me out with floor Cant wait til I can have him run wires! Trim panels which I need to re-cut as these were for the 10's I had before the swap to 12's

Work space and second box Port painted before putting in More glassing Both done! Old box and amp mounting

Started out as just new boxes for the Neon, ended up turning into lots more than I had planned. Some descriptions with pictures but mostly just lots of pics of the build up! Lots of pictures so I'm gonna do clickable thumbs to save bandwidth. Box Build Resin'd all joints and chop mat (added after this picture)

Well sadly driving up north yesterday with a buddy the sub that was cracked let loose. Was playing loud for about 3-4 hours just fine, no slapping or over-excursion.. Track changed and I heard the coil start to unwind itself by the time I had it turned down the sub was gone. Looking into getting a cheap fix for the time being so I can still go to some shows this year. Havent had a chance to pull it out and look at the actual damage done but the sub is froze up on the inward stroke . So anyone got some L7 10's they wanna sell CHEAP

Well had a bit of driving over the weekend and such and about 5 hours of playtime each way at fairly loud volumes.. Subs handled everything fine. Alt did its job aswell. Amps didnt go into protect due to heat or anything so everything seems to be working well enough for the subs being messed up. Really surprised they handled the power for ~5 hours (each way so 10 hrs total) of straight playing. I usually play it at max volume 33 (of 40 35 is when it seems like it starts to clip out) and I was playing only using the ipod bus adapter to my ipod. Sound quality is so-so and gotta remove the front door speakers amp so that I can fix the left gain pot (when the bass hits it gets static on/off and cuts in/out) if i touch the pot its fine for a while, knew of this issue when I bought the amp so no biggie.

Walling it is not a option, this is my daily driver and wife tends to drive it more than me 90% the time so..We need the back seat for our nearly 1 1/2 yr old son. Funding isnt great atm so I'm just going to stick wtih these til they are done for or I can save enough for HDC3's or something, I'd honestly rather the HDC3's over anything else due to the fact They work well in small or larger boxes. The max I can do without building the box in the trunk is roughly maybe squeeze 3 cuft per sub. The biggest issue is I dont want to change amps out anytime soon and they are fairly large amps (size and power) so having a place to mount them in the small ass trunk becomes a large enough problem with 2 cubes per sub as it is. I can squeeze 2.5 if needed I think but will be quite a bit of work getting the boxes in.
