X2 Quite nice. Very clean in the trunk. Your handywork? Or shop built? If so which one? Could you list the components please? (subs/amps/source/mids etc) I see the Zapco's but knowing how HUGE the rear deck i'm curious whats in there under the nice fibered up cover :shiftyph34r: Under-Hood work looks awsome. My buddy wants me to make him something similar for his Z. Welcome to SMD.

I already offered my warning label on this one a long time ago. ...Should add "Head gear required". Hard hat, ear protection, and a respirator. :construction: And make sure that "O-SHIT" Bar is good and secure. (maybe scotch gaurd that passenger seat too :sick:)

It could very well be due to cold. If you can get the vehicle started and drive it to an autoparts shop (Like AUTOZONE perhaps) they can LOAD test it and find out if it's good/bad. Other than that, maybe upgrade to a battery w/ more COLD CRANKING AMPS. More ability to crank in low temps. Also make sure the battery in the vehicle has as many or more CCA's than the stock batt. Lots of times folks will go the cheap route and not even have a battery in there as good as the stock one, underrpowered for the vehicle, AND THEN start dumpin more electrical strain on it by adding a system.

Yea that is prolly the least amount of "MOD" work. Look in the build i posted in the member/show off section of the 90 Z32. There's only one pic of it but it shows the mdf "bracket" I made on that one in a hurry and it worked perfectly. Uses the same mounting holes and hardware. <--Being Lazy. Right here: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/forums/in...hp?topic=3460.0 BTW that one is a 5 1/4"comp set and there's room for the tweet & xover w/ door panel clearence in that position. You might have to relocate the xover.

Pre-drills and PAN head screws do ok for me.

You can fit just about any 5 1/4" comp set in them lil boxes and w/ some creativity some 6's for sure. Like I said lemme know what ur workin with and I'll help ya fit em depth wise. I've done them lil pods both ways: modding em for after market mids 5 1/4-6" and deleting the box altogether and making a bracket to house 5 1/4 comps and up, w/e u want. Both are fairly staright forward.

Hey as long they say it they gotta warrenty it when it roasts. No worries. Push it. get the 150 and send em in for warrenty. :whistling:

ok imagine this: You're Steve Meade. Awsome I know, but settle down it's just a hypothetical. You own a Chvy Tahoe w/ 4-Fi BTL 18's & 21,000 Watts rms. Is 40% of ANY stock alternator gonna be enough/ok? Dont think so. Thus, blanket rules like that aren't gonna fly EVER. (leave it to ROE) You gotta "Fight the demons" in YOUR SPECIFIC setup. If you have mucho dimming, you need mucho electrical reinforcement. Thus, regardless of "the rules go..." statements, just build it up till ur outdoing your electrical draw and there you go. ~2more cents.

Jeez, the things you (I) miss in the H/U dept when the SQ guys get to chattin. Welcome aboard Slick and nice lookin setup there. X2 on the build pics. Clearence looks SCARY under the brake pedal over those Ed's in the kicks but I guess if you got that far it must work for ya. Paint? or powdercoat on the Soundstreams? Either way looks ded sexy. Dash looks very well done. Idmax makes baby jesus smile BTW. ;D All around nice job.

Nice truck & setup man. What are you gonna cover that Humongous box in? Good luck on the 150 too.

I have modded those BOSE boxes/pods inthe front foors on my buddies cars on more than one occasison and kno a trick or 2 if ur handy/decent @ cut/chop/rebuild type stuff. Let me kno if you get stuck on those I'd be happy to help and I have pics avail as examples. If you can post which pods you have that'd help too as I have worked on a few Nissan 90-94 300zx's (z32's) and I'm thinkin the pods are the same but ya never know for sure. In case no one's welcomed you yet, welcome to SMD.

HOLY SHNYKEEES David! I dint even waste any time on that site past the 1st page cuz even the lil thumbnails looked jenky, but that place is a treasure trove of pics I could use to fill up my "SHAME" FOLDER on how not to install. Jebus! I did a door panel like that. My very 1st one in 7th grade, 1stt ime i ever touched vinyl...and I trashed it and started over. WOW. Dope shop, as long as they don't touch ur car or try to install anything in it.

I just can't bring myself to KILL any old setups. Worst case I'll sell em and if I cant i'll donate or they turn into furniture/storage units. BTW-GOOD LORD! Check out the 6th pic up there^^^ after the initial post. That POOR LIL BLUE MILK CRATE IS GETTIN PWNed by tha magnet on the MT. Got sag? HAHAHAHA. Nice work/##'s as usual Steve. Kinda sad the box got the axe. Hopefully they couldn't demolish it at the dump and some homeless guy and his dog are livin it and thankin their lucky stars for a basshead named Steve Meade. (New eBay market: High Strength/ Waterproof mini-dwellings/dog houses)

Check the forsale section man I posted a bunch of subs including a PBX 12 1800watts max.

My Epic 160 will toggle between SPL and voltage so i can check it there or I can look over my shoulder at the readout on my 1F cap mounted over the tranny hump between the center console and rear middle seat.

you also feel better ridin clean. like you're on top of the world Yea gotta love makin that intro in a shiny ride. I either Jus cruise in w/ the beat off and catch folks off guard in the qualifying rounds or just HAMMER it all way into the show and find my chill spot to wait for quals to start.

Well, I think until we have a HOME audio setup class, and Steve/Chicken can OWN ALL OUR ASSES, it should be limited 1: An automobile 2: It must run (no front-lawn-boom-box-mobile on blocks) 3: Must consist of a "moderate to high amount" of AFTERMARKET audio goodies (No "My BMW 745 has a nice stereo already"..-newcents (although we know he'd never say that, just an ex.) 4: I don't know how you guys feel about it but CUSTOM is the name of the game in my book, so I would exclude prefab boxes, and only MAYBE allow Qlogic pods-thats up to yall. ~2cents.

Yea SORRY. I'll retract that "poser comment". I read the other thread right after and was like OH ok I guess if it's a matter of functionality that's kosher. I guess it's true also you can do with ur subs what you want once you've purchased them, but I AM, as I suspect Forevrbumpn to be as well, A SUB PURIST. In my mind, you pick the subs you want based on performance/look, and any/all other components of the ownersip (warrenty, stereotypes, and FLACK for having a "yuppy brand" or "no name" brand in some cases) and you stick by your decision or sell em/ re-purchase. I KNOW HE DID IT OUT OF NECESSITY NOW, but at first I thought it was a choice based solely on aesthetics and in my book that's a form of audio sacrilage to deface a sub w/ another company's logo or other material to hide the real company's logo, whether they object or not. The one time I thought it even LOOKED ok was that setup in the Caddy someone posted w/ the RE subs w/ the caddy logo on em. That looked kinda pimp actually. Again-***PUBLIC APOLOGY FOR THE POSER REMARK.***

Who gives a shit! It's his stuff, he can do whatever he wants with it.Nice window flex btw I'm pretty sure He was just trying to give the heads up that the company might not like you modding their product to look like a different company's stuff. I don't know if they would have LEGAL recourse but If so he's just saying "hey here's how not to get SUE'd By that company" if they could. Not hating on ur stuff. That said: Personally I HAVE NO IDEA why you would put different dust caps on them in the first place. If you REALLY wanted Fi's, why not sell ur AA's and get some Fi's? Or just roll them AA's as is. They're good subs as ur vids sho they're tryin to rip ur ride apart (nice) and they should get credit for that. The dust cap thing just seems like a poser move to me IMO.

Phantom...as in RR. Nice Hoe bro. Tonns of POtential there for sure. X2 On some dub+'s. Drop it :watsup: or bagg it :red_bandana: EEEEWWW on the Euro tails. SRRY just not a fan...its not a euro/import. Kicker YAY...but good luck gettin much props for 2-12's (unless they're Fi, TRF, or RE) in that big of a vehicle. The fact it's ported will help (decent lookin box BUILD btw, just needs some covering paint/carpet/w/e). I have 4-cvr 12's sealed in a hatch and can't touch 150 on a TL but that's why we rebuild X2 On the 15's idea, I'd say 4 would get loud in there and folks round here (SMD) got your back on design for sure. Wish I had one as a project.

Yea. Russian Roullette w/ ur hearing. I Guess that's why they're in the "EXTREME" classes to begin with. I'd love to build one, but I believe in safety/common sense/keeping my hearing as long as possible.

Not to rain on ur parade...but I'm pretty sure pornstar was mocking sayar. It's sarcasm. Like when he says "my hero sayar". And if you check out the Pornstars build on ROE (about 46pg build/rebuild log) it ends up w/ him doing almost 160db w/ 1-18 & 2 Autotek 4kw's I believe, then he gets an "unofficial" 160 w/ 2-18's in his build in that minitruck. I never talked to either Sayar or Pornstar but sayar looks/sounds like a nerdy nutsack in all his vids and his setup sure looks pretty hoaky. I would NOT put the 2 in the same sentence tho build/talent wise. Pornstars work looks legit. Team maxxonics I'm pretty sure.

They actually vary quite a bit. I've seen Iraggi offers some that are different series like Amputator vs Doominator series and they my both be 200amp but one does 75amp @ idle and the other does 175amp @ idle. I would assume the 175amp @ idle would be either MUCH tighter wound or just involve a different VOLTAGE REGULATOR (be it internal or external). If you have Q's on it and want some professional help, email Dom Iraggi. I'm sure he could let ya know the ins and outs and recommend the bst scenario based on tonns of experience. I am saving up for an Iraggi unit myself.

Nice M249. Bet its loud as shit. Must a blast to let off in the dark. (punnage) Stay safe if ur still out there. Hooya.

Did I miss something or did you not post the link? I see no links.
