  1. painted white logo on. the all black was just too plain for me. good catch lol
  2. it is a prefab. not by choice. it was given to me with the sub. i already have my design and will be building asap. but i dont think its a level 5 coil. im reconing it with one though. and im not gonna really judge the sub til i get a proper box. the prefab works out to 2.14 cu ft after displacement @ 35 hz tuning. the port is good size for the volume however
  3. finally got my hands on a dc sub. found a guy selling locally on craigslist and managed to pick it up. however its far from perfect. cosmetically its 10/10 but it came with a limited edition black voicecoil haha. the guy says hes only had it a couple weeks too. but im gonna be reconing it anyways since it is a dual 2 and i need dual 1. anyways on to pics. the box is a prefab he sold me with the sub. ill be building a new one very soon. 8 10s will be back in once i get the box finished. so this will hold me over til then. anyways on to pics
  4. so wait. i just re read the your first post and it sounds like youre running a constant to a switch then to a power input on the loc. but you reversed power and ground and hit the switch sending power to the ground side. i would guess that the loc is fried.
  5. so the factory speaker wires go to the loc, then rcas from loc to amp. then amp to speakers?
  6. its meant to be trunk L.O.C (said trunk line output converter). but ya it could be that you fried that because you already have a 4 channel you said and input on those is like 35w max. are you running it thru your rear speakers which are on the amp?
  7. he just did a kerf port. basically you cut slits in the mdf to make it flexible then bend it to a 90 and fill it with resin/fiberglass
  8. ya im sure you could. you would just have to solder up two antenna inputs to one male plug and it would probably work. never tried it though
  9. ive had good results installing glass mount antenna's in customers cars. they're pretty small, like an antenna for an alarm and are typically amplified. not horribly expensive either. may be worth a shot edit. like this one
  10. thats why i use kilz primer. its latex based so it doesnt soak in as much as normal paint. i used that on my box for my l7s and 2 layers was plenty
  11. my plan is to fill all the screw holes with wood filler then a couple layers of kilz primer and paint. but between all those steps ill be sanding and what not but i need some help from you guys on what grit of sandpaper and what wood filler works well. i want the box to be white as well, so can i just leave the primer or should i paint it too? im not looking for a mirror finish but id like a smooth glossy look. what do you guys recommend?
  12. very nice steve. those are really gonna pop with black wheels on there.
  13. i would get the mounting brackets. its a new option theyve added finally. i expected to get them the first time i ordered but just bent up from backstrap and it works too. brackets are like $4 per pair iirc. they have lots on backorder right now though. im still waiting on one of my kits but the email they sent me of backordered kits was mostly 35w, so you may be fine.
  14. i just ordered a kit from them a couple weeks ago. but if your doing 55 watt ballasts i would get one color higher then you want because its gonna wash it out some. i have 8000k 55w in my headlights and 6000k 35w in my fogs and they match perfect.
  15. an app would be cool. but the mobile site works great. hell its always on one of the windows in my phone anyways haha
  16. Damn. I've got to put audio on hold for some regular maintenance.

  17. Hey do you wax your circle jig before using it? I have always done this with home made jigs but wanted others opinions on this. And to the op, it's easy to make your own just make sure your measurements are accurate. ive never heard of waxing the jig. it goes pretty smooth already being mdf
  18. i made my own circle jig out of 1/4" mdf i had laying around. cheap and easy. just make sure you have some scrap mdf to test your holes with. id recommend a 1/2" upspiral cut bit, 1/4" will work too but is more likely to flex under load.
  19. honestly i dont think thats a proper judgement for the possibility of getting into a college. yes extra curriculars are good. but they focus mostly on your gpa and sat/act scores. i had good sat/act scores, but my gpa wasnt so good. i got like a 1200 on sats and had a 2.6 gpa. my sat scores had me eligible to many schools but the gpa hurt me. id say focus on those things more then worrying about top in class. especially a class of only 100 or 350 people. those are pretty small numbers.
  20. typically amps like this are internally paralleled. so it would be the same as if you wired the sub in parallel and only used one + n -. thats how my s2000.1 is so i just paralleled and ran one set of pos n neg
  21. that must have some good shocks on it. i wonder how much he had to practice that too. cuz if you listen he deflates the bags while its in the air then hits them right when it hits the ground. pretty cool though
