  4. TINY woofers

    in Subwoofers / Enclosures

    Posted

    DDW6.5 subs seem pretty damn good as well. Plan to run one in a custom center console.

    Thats what I'm thinking as well! The interior dimensions of my center console storage armrest thing are bigger than necessary for any of the 6.5s mentioned, maybe even an 8... I could build a little box that slides right in there.... port it out the front or back... it would probbably be sweet! but i kinda already have alot of bass/midbass :shrug:

    its becoming a case of where can i fit more speakers

    Anyone ever run a JL Audio 6W3v3? It's a 4 or 8 ohm 6.5 inch subwoofer... as a matter of fact, has anyone ever run a woofer smaller than an 8? i saw these diminutive woofers at a stereo shop in my area; they are .25 inches smaller than my mids! The box was about the size of a keyboard. It's more of a novelty than anything i suppose (how loud are they realistically gonna get, especially in a little prefab box) but they were cool nonetheless. Anyone run these? :popcorn:

  11. Looking for a powerful 4 channel

    no budget, this is somewhat hypothetical, i already have 3 4 channels as it is, but they are relatively small and underpowered, especially for the number of speakers im running and the power they could handle. the t1000 is real pricy and that dc aint cheap either. you pay for what you get though.

    So, I rotated the tires and sprayed the calipers and the drums in the back. Honestly, they came out fantastic.

    I was going to stick with black but I did a base coat of silver just to see, and they matched up with the paint so well I decided to go with it. I sprayed two coats, let it dry and then clear coated, all with VHT caliper paint.

    I did the same process for the rear brakes, but in black.

    I'll put a picture up with the wheels on there tomorrow. And before anyone starts typing it, I know how to properly mask off the car so there is no overspray. These pics are after most of the stuff was taken off and all the coats were laid. :good:

    To me, it depends. I like powder coated ones ONLY IF THEY ARENT STOCK. Tiny stock painted calipers are a complete joke imo. Sports/ performance ones (usually 14"+) have the ability to look good.

    I tend to agree. However, when stock calipers get all rusty and shitty looking, spraying them with a subtle color like black, silver or grey makes them look brand new and they stay like that.

    ok so black it is. i hate the way it looks now though, i gotta cover up this corrosion. the calipers are just bare silver metal now, and the car is silver and the wheels are painted silver (not chrome)... so idk the silver calipers would probably look fine. im going to lay down a base coat of silver then spray over black. that way we can see which is nicer, ill take some pics

    edit: by the way, the accord has drums on the back and they were oxidized to hell also, i already painted them black and they look fantastic (unless you aren't focusing on them, in which case they blend in perfectly) I did that almost a year ago, no problems, just did a nice tape job and sprayed away
