  4. Want To Do Some DIY Work

    in Suspension and Brakes (4x4, street drops) - Lift it, Drop it..STOP it!

    Posted

    First off I have a two 2002 Mazda Protege, one is my daily driver the other is for parts. The parts car has as set of Eibach lowering springs and my daily needs a lower control arm. So, I figured while I was there I would swap all the good suspension parts over.

    My question is how hard would it be to swap control arms and springs? Or would I just be best to buy a new control arm?

    I really like the port area, but damn, that box ended up been small doesn´t it? maybe i would ditch the second baffle, that way, you can gain a lot of internal space and just use a couple of good old threaded rods to brace that shit out, i´m telling you this because if you are tuning it @ 36 hz then you are looking to play some nice lows wich are a little bit too difficult with only 1.5 cubic feet per sub hommie, i do think the box should work nice but it can work even better if it´s bigger, just my opinion :drinks:

    People for DC said that the 12'' XLS like 1.5... but from working with my current system I do realize the bigger box would get lower. As for making the box bigger I have more room to make the box taller. This is where my problem is I can't make up my mind. Grrrr.

    I'm at it again, but this time I'm making up my mind.

    I'm building a box for 2 DC Audio XL 12'' running off a AQ2200 each. It's going in a '94 Mazda B3000 ext. cab (Link To Build).

    I was going to go with a complex box (Figure 1), but decided to go with something a little bit easier to make (Figure 2 & Figure 2.1).

    What do you guys think?

  21. Alt questions

    Please explain how adding alternators is hard on the engine. This I'd like to hear.

    To answer your question you should be calculating current draw to see whether or not a high output alternator is a worthy investment. Running two 15"s doesn't mean anything, what will you be using to power them?

    Adding an extra alt adds strain because the engine has more stuff to turn. Think of it as you pulling a car if you are pullinh two it harder then just pulling one. Hope that makes sense. lol. wrote this in a rush.

    In your box thread didn't you say your doing a single RF 12 on 150-200 RMS? If so you don't need a H/O alt

    Just do the big three in 1/0

    The single RF 12 is just temporary. In the future I want to go with two 15s. Plus, there is the mids and highs.

    No it wont make anything easier on the engine it self. If anything more alt's is worse on the motor itself.. But there far to tuff to even care about that, you might loose mpg tho.

    But yes it will take strain of the alt it self. And every electrical thing in your car will love you.

    I'm not add in more alts just replacing the stock one. I fingered it can do better output a low RPMs so it would be less of a strain.
