Some day when I have an SUV w/ room for a 20+ cube box maybe it'll be "loud" till then it's a good daily driver.
-
yes of course.
I'm only the loudest in my hood by default. Nobody brings nothin ever. My only competition is the mic and thats sad. College tuition/books all that crap eats up my rebuild $$ and I'm waiting on some good whether and no "pending cars to build" before I can hit up my own car.
Technically i already have the parts for the rebuild i wanna do, but i've been considering an "all out" setup too.
Stuff in my next "semi-permenant" daily-driver rebuild:
4 Phoenix Gold Titanium 12's (not the Elites)
2 PG Tantrum 1200.1's
2 PG Tantrum 600.4's
2 comp sets up front
same PG 2 way rears
Still need:
Iraggi 200amp alt
An extra yellow top or 2 in the trunk.
Bunch more wire/dynamatt.
AND TIME.

So my Indian buddy brought his Bro and a Friend of his by my shop while they were in town just before xmas.
He asked if they could see my setup and have the demo cuz they never been in a loud car b4.
My buddy was snappin some pix so here they are...I wish it was video cuz he tried to jump out and his bro would just stand in the door way w/ his ears covered.

yea X2^^
Or any male/female connectors could be spliced in and retain the stock plug/harness.
It's just like unplugging it and bypassing or making your own male female "plug" out of many smaller connectors one for each wire you need tapped.
The side by side taps are easiests cuz no stripping/exposed wire to mess with just lay them lil wires side by side in the grooves inside the connector and pinch it and it cuts the sheathing, attaches to the wire and closes it off cleanly all in one motion.

yea big bore stuff is pretty rough on the wallet.
.50 BMG is a grip.
7.62 aint too bad in cases and we run a buncha 9mm, a lil .38 spl, 40 S&W, .357 sig, .357 mag (just got it) and some .45 here n there.
Good times but can't wait till summer and hit up the outdoor and shoot up some car parts again. I filled the hood off my car fulla holes after i switched to a CF one.

-"my girl got me a 500 S&W.."
NICE.
She must be a keeper.
My bro has a 500 S & W but it's the 1 rnd rifle and it hits ur shoulder like a sledgehammer...it's actually more UNPLEASANT to fire than his Armalite AR 50 (.50BMG)
Go big or go home ;D
I got Bass Box Pro (thnx pops) so I guess I'm on "the list" for box help. I havn't run it yet but once I get all savvy w/ it summertime is gonna be LOUD. :w00t:

Hopefully this will be the last on the sub issue but I had a comment based on a recent funny event at work:
To make this as short as possible- One of my co-workers has never heard a system louder than mine & thinks my setup (4-12's) is the loudest, baddest, craziest setup outside of world finals DB Drag & high level extreme comps (I've told him this is a load of crap repeatedly, but w/e he's "special")
He runs his mouth to any and every douche that pulls up bumpin 2-10's or anything noticable that "when you wanna stop messin around and get some real beat you better talk to this guy (me) cuz his is the loudest in Sac, he always wins 1st at every comp he goes to" (not true).
Some guy hears that and starts askin what I have, I tell em, and as soon as I say I run Kicker subs he starts goin off about Lanzar Pro this, and swap meet that and how kicker are SOOO WEAK yada yada yada.
I told him the subs were ok for entry level stuff and they do ok for me, however I already have new subs and double the amps for a rebuild (truth).
So my CO-WORKER (not me) blows up and demands this guy listen to my setup.
Basically the guy did like in one of Steves vids where the guy fumbles around for the door lock and jumps out holdin his ears and said I was tryin to make him deaf and I lied about my subs bein kicker.
So i showed him the trunk and we had a discussion about proper box design and the benifits of a hatchback and other enlightening audio mumbo jumbo he obviously never heard of b4.
So i guess the not so short story is something about until you hear a properly built setup w/ any given product in it it's kinda dangerous to make blanket statements about it being a POS or sounding like ass or being weak, not to mention you're pretty much garaunteed to pisss SOMEONE off. I have people all the time tell me the love the way my Fosgate 15's sound and I gotta remind em i'm running 12's, and they're CVR's & yea they were $75 each shipped.
Oz is nice stuff, Fi & RE have Steve & this sight to thank for some major cred, i'm not a RF fan but i know lotsa folks like the T/power series Fosgate stuff, so to each his own.

Thats insane man.
Congrats for being the popular kid on Playground Earth. Big pimpin fasho.
Makes me think 2 things:
1: I'm glad to be a part of it "before every was on the bandwagon"
2: My only consolation over the day (gawd forbid) the bandwidth kills it...at least I still live in the same city as Steve and have a decent chance of "Getting the DEMO".
He did say he'd swing the Hoe by my shop some day...and THEN they will REALLY know what's up. ;D

Everytime I see Steve's work i'm like...

I was at work the other day and this Home depot guy Ron Hazelton (Bob Villa lookalaike/wannabe) was on and topic/project happened to be installing a multi channel home security/monitoring setup.
I had just read some you guys discussiong the home security cam setups you have and fig'd anyone looking for a how-to might find it usefull. here's the link.

Maybe that's helpfull/interesting or gives you some idea-the cameras he uses look pretty tight-lense is surrounded by bright LEDs so the light/camera angle is the same=no glare and good lighting effect.

I run 4 CVR 12's.
IMO-No better woofer I have HEARD for less $$...mind you:
Mach 5 subs are "less $$" and they look like potentially decent subs.
Haven't put em head to head yet but Pioneer premier are comparable specs and cost less $$.
There are others out there easily killin CVR's but, that I find- not ANY for less $$. $75 shipped for a CVR12 is kinda tuff to beat.

Mix it a lil hot w/ the hardener, and make the lil "oven" as mentioned-gotta surround it in heat-I "box it in w/ panels of 1/4" mdf or cardboard and run a space heater in there to keep the box nice and toasty and just keep an eye on it while it's dryin.

I work at AUTOZONE and I checked for avail/price on a gatorback belt. NO dice.
I fig Part number should be 4061210 (6 ribb 121" as u stated) maybe w/ that info you could hit up Goodyear directly? I dint show the existence of any such belt but it'll only show what we stock or can order-so it may still be out there.
Good luck y'all! Hope that helps sum.

Yea I agree w/ the L7 8's I actually have 3 of em to replace those 2 8's in the truck once the weather's better and finals are over.
Nice work as usual RAY.
Any ##'s on the truck just as reference of how loud it could be w/ 8's done right?
-

^^^ Beat me to it (pun pun) on the by-nines video.
I was gonna say that van AND there a dude (Powered4Sound maybe?) rollin 2 by-nines doin a 145db (TL) in a bug and i think b4 that he had 10-audiobahn 6 1/2" in a vw sirrocco or some madness. I still have my heart set on a "wow-no way!" setup like that but imma cheat and use a buncha 8's

Hey steve you see Dom Iraggi's post on the matter?
Maybe hit em up?
-
WOW!
Mr. Iraggi, thats awsome stuff.
You should shoot Steve a pm about it just in case he some how misses this one.
<--jealous.

Yea anytime I'M there MWFSS 330-8pm I'll do w/e I can to hook it up.
My boss (Hard ass vietnamese guy) loves me so i bet if you said you were w/ me even he'd take care of ya. Most the guys in there would know ya from the vids of the Hoe anyhoo i bet.
We are the smallest shop so kinda limited on whats on hand but I can order w/e we stock at bigger shops or at least do the "foot work" findin shit 4 ya.
Lemme kno if there's anything on any of them rides u need.
;D
Question for all the installers

Dude check out DisDatchevyboy's link^^^^^
It even has a pic of the connector for ya.
They are about a cm or 2 squarish/rectangles and the size gets cut in half when u fold em over. I'm pretty sure you can get em for w/e gauge wire u are trying to tap up to 12ga maybe?...and that will determine what size to get. Take a look at the wires ur lookin at tappin and just buy accordingly.
