those amps make dirty power.
if you could zoom in on the wave, you would see it looks clean, but is really clipped. same with the SD amps. but whatever.
I'm not trying to thread jack but I'm very curious about this! Can u please explain more... particularly the sd amps part how much do u have to zoom in on the wave? And how would that small of a clip effect the sub, or does it make a steadly low clippin no matter what ur playing?

i am so confused..
u should be i didnt get to finish postin all the damn pics from my 2 years of progress, threw the two cars i started with 1 18, on two saz 1500s, got a lvl 5, got another, got an SD 8k and built the box that was a miserable fail, switched cars, and am now starting over with 2 lvl 5 12s and 2 lvl 2 8s on a sundown 1500 and the 5's off the 8k
with a rainbow and alpine amp on the highs with 3 component sets and a couple coaxals
the new car was completely baige and the old green and black, all off the old door pannels got moved to the new car, along with all of the stereo crap, but im switching to the lvl 5 12s to gain trunkspace, and do my final build in this car, hopefully
-

you can see the gas leaking on the deadening.... damn poor car
all my stereo equipment in the same place
-
ready for some recones for the epic fail box hahaha
here goes nothing
and after that i threw that box out, because it suck so much ass in my car the 18s just couldn't breath overall the worst box i've ever built, but the advantage is that i learnt a lot and got my speakers in my door finally!
so back to 1 sub in that crappy box sub back with an 8" port
2 more recones
aww my first subs
quick sidejob box, to get me some speakers and xs 3100s !!!
and ready..........

-

-
the amp rack
and it didnt fit with my new box
so i was at it again hahahathe new box with an 8" port
and yes this ones hard to see, but holy shit thats a crazy nite the car is off the edge, lets just say there was some drunk driving goin on in my driveway
o heres a nice car!
and my first lvl 5 18
and a major slow down in stereo progress i broke bothe bones in my wrist dirbiking, i fell about 25 feet onto my wrist trailridng by myself 40 min from help, and i came to under the bike, im super lucky but it slowed me down for a little bit
the old deck
ill get a pick of new one soon
-
and heres round 2 for the pictures!
and here we all started somewhere
and heres my baby
a great truck
i dont know what happened to it
my first 18" sub, it was a 2000 ish rd magnet with a sundown cone, great sub, popped it in a heart beat with 2 saz1500 strapped at 1 ohm got reconed to a dc lvl 5 soft parts and it works like a champ
-
I want to give Rusty and Ana a huge shout out thanks for all the help and all the recones
also thanks Ray (DC98Hoe) and everyone else who helped me out along the way, or sold me some of my amazing equipment that took me so long to get... but finally i basically have everything, Rusty called me when i was both hands deep in my 8" box builds to tell me about a problem with the color scheme on the dust caps, but as always hes eager to help out, and we had a short conversation, i finished up my resin, and got another call, discussed many more ideas, and so on.... and changed some of my box specs, and he sent out the re-cones today so, i should have them tommarow, and i only need to buy more wire but that is a future, and this will mostly be my last build for this car
This build is going to have a ton of pictures in a long process almost 2 years from my 2000 Grand Marquis LS (Luxury Sport), and then transfering to the similar car a 1999 Grand Marquis HPP (fast one) though it will be far from that when the 500+ lbs hit the trunk
The first have pictures from my old car and a few builds that didnt go quite as planned... and they will continue.....
I have way to much love for my first car, but it was a 1975 Cadillac Eldorado, and ive always wanted a boat again, it was barely two doors but 1.5 feet longer than my giant ass 4 door now (the crown vic) but my true baby is a 1972 Detomso Pantera thats hiding in the garage till im 30 hahaha
my favorite car of all is my first Grand Marquis, which is basically a Crown victoria, or even more commonly a cop car or FBI which the amazing green and black windowed car started that way, but 3 massive accidents later
, and more 4 wheeling that most 4 wheelers have ever done it turned black and got a little banged up, but this is going to be a picture story of the cars so it goes.....leave any comments you want, but no hatin take that somewhere elce we all started somewhere!
