so y is it that so many people have to recone there aq's i thought they could handle alot of abuse?
I've never had to recone a blown one, I always cut up a working sub. Either to change sub size, VC config, or to upgrade to alum coils.
But as was said, ANY sub can be blown if abused enough...
-
I hit up about 15 comps in the IL/IN/WI area last year. I'm up by Six Flags in IL.
Some were DbDrag, USACI, and some smaller shows put on by local shops.
Sponsorship is VERY rare to come by...
-
once you get it reconed and reinstalled, set your gain properly and don't clip the shit out of it and the coil won't unwind.
-
It is a nice change. I see they used alot of the midwestspl pics lol
my lazy ass still needs to send pics, so I too can be on the home page
Site is just like the products, built to peform, not look flashy...

hey thanks alot guys for ur feedback! i played whatever songs (put on, elevator, bme click etc), gains are about 1/5, i used bass knob at max for only a few seconds, they sound good as hell, they move a lil and they dont get warm so i am all good now
OMFG at the useless info in this post. AQ recommends playing them at low volume and no low freqs to break in the spider pack, has nothing to do with the surround loosening up.
They use an 8 layer spider and that's what requires the break in as early on they had an issue with a few subs that were played full tilt right from the start and they made a noise at lower volumes as the spider pack didn't set properly. Now it's more of a CYA thing on their part as I've heard of no issues in over a year and DJ constantly tests and upgrades the subs.
Play the radio or whatever for 8-10 hours at low volume as you just need to get some heat into the motor. I leave the car in the garage playing and start it up every few hours to keep from killing the batts.
The suspension will loosen up over time and the sub will get louder and play lower....
-
You have no where near enough power for alum coils as they are far less efficient then the copper coils. I run an AQ3500 on each sub for daily (alum coils), just dial back the gain a fuzz for long listening sessions and wire down to .25ohm for metering.
Get a DC alt and 4 G31 batts, BIG3, and 2-4 runs of 1/0 to the rear and you'll be set.

Im getting two 10'' subs made by forevrbumpn on smd and gone throw a 3500d to them. at first im gone run about 1000rms to them each and then see how things go from there, also getting two extra recone kits for them just incase something may happen :01nocomment8so:
other then that, the main diff is ill have new alt and batt and diff subs in this set up. allong with making the box look better.
Should just recone the HDC's to alum coils and get another 3500...
-
I run 4 AQ3500's in my daily set up. DC 270a alt and 8 Deka's. Long demo's aren't a problem, other then loss of hearing
-
ha! ha! yes or that to
my subs play it just fine, but it's not exactly a clean beat to begin with....
-
damn yeah i get off at 4
Drive VERY fast
-
what time is it saturday? lol i doubt il beable to go i cant get off work again
show/comp goes from 10-5 and we'll have an after party at my house...
-
CACO show is in Waukegan, up by me, so your turn to make the trip.
3x dbDrag/bass race points event, plus USACI and car/bike show.
Team DOA should have 8-10 cars at this one, plus there should be some 160+ vehicles there...
-
haha amen to that im always have to drive chicks around that are like obsessed with it cuz my while headliner is that way lol. the JL truck is Sundown One's. it was one of those accomodation things lol they prolly dont have as much as everyoine thinks in it. Ther is a couple things about it that could have bene doen different. the ports are acually firing into the roof with about 3 inches of clearnce. so im surehteres some standing wave issuses goin on. and also they only have 1 stinger battery on those 7 amps lol. hes got 3 kinetik 3800's sittin in the shop but they dont have time to put them in. im sure it could b louder haha
and im notsure yet i want to do a stetsom 7k2d. Tommys tryin to talk me into them soundigitals but idk
Got one guy on DOA running a soundigital 8k amp. Still not sure how it is for daily as he blew his HDC's with it the other week and wasn't much louder then when he had 2 sundown 1500's. Reconed his subs the other night, so he'll be metering at the CACO show on Saturday.
Some kid said $40k in the sundown one truck which I knew was BS unless that included purchase price.
Don't think I'm ready for Tommy if he can burp at .25ohm as he has a TON of cone area. But 30sec average on music would be a diff story as I can play full tilt for several minutes straight. I only burped at this show, so I could get a baseline for some upcoming changes....
-
fur gets a lot of reactions, mostly positive and the ladies like it, so it stays...
what kind of power you going to throw at the BTL's?
And who had the expensive JL set up in the black truck? Looked nice and actually did better numbers then I expected...
-
4 AQ3500's and alum coil subs. Reconing to copper next week as I just can't push them hard enough with box rise as it was a nightmare squeezing 18cubes in there.
Wall is tuned to 36Hz for daily and plays music VERY well...
What's the specs on the enclosure with the 2 9518's and how much power? We have a guy on DOA with 2 9515's off 2 AQ2200's doing around 148.5 in an explorer. Just needs more power...
-
who??
BTL set up will be loud once you throw some power at them.
-
Can't see the vids but I'm guessing the 4 AQ's was me. I had the pimpin black altima. Did a 156.6, so good enough for 1st place. Other Team DOA guys got 2nd and 3rd. 9 hours round trip though...
Lot of DD and FI stuff down there which was nice to see. Rio couldn't get the amps to work at .25ohm. I tried mine like that last night and I expect bigger numbers in the near future.
-
A few of us from Team DOA made the trip down. Lot of FI/DD equipment which surprised me, plus a van running AQ stuff.
Me, BigJoker, and Sleepy took home the hardware
-
but if i'm gonna get new AQ sub, will i need to build a new box for it or i can just use old one?
Box requirements won't change. In his testing DJ said the new copper is 1dB+ louder then the original copper.
I have 4 recones sitting in my garage, but no motivation right now...

How does your car ride with a wall or other huge box?

a wall does reduce visibility, so on the freeway you won't be whipping through traffic. Pick your lane and stay there unless you're 100% sure no cars are near you.
Also realize the subs/batts/amps aren't mounted on the roof, so you won't really be top heavy like you think.
I have an Altima with a wall and about 1k of weight in the trunk. Custom rear springs was all I did to it and the ride is decent and I'm never in a hurry when driving it.
