[amp blown, i want to fix it]

I also put in a new head unit about a week ago. Could things have gotten messed up by having a different input signal voltage?

I was playing it pretty low and with the boost knob turned off. just noticed the smell first and turned the knob to feel if the subs were responding and didnt hear them. turned my amps off, went home and started trouble shooting. the subs work fine, i have them hooked up to another amp for now.

here are the pics of when i opened it up

its toast around 3 or 4 on one side and about 2 on the other side.

let me know what you think

Hey guys, been a while. busy with work and school 7 days a week.

Today after 3 years of bangin my hifonics TXI1508 fried on me.

Took off the back panel of the amp and its black around a couple of the big transistors.

Does anyone have any advice for fixing the hifonics amps or is it pretty standard as far as getting the new transistors?

I would like to try and salvage it, and if not I wouldnt mind giving it to someone on here as long as they pay shipping.

let me know.

thanks

[Back with my Black Civic]

Heres the Civic with the trunk put all back together for the time being before I work on it again.

I put all three amps under the carpet for now but plan to move them on top of the carpet when I rebuild the trunk.

The trunk

The amps

and now for the good stuff

Ive been working on several things with my LEDs

I have tweaked my Halo lights in order to be able to switch between solid on and reactive to the bass below 80hz

This is controlled from one of the 3 button touch switches I added to my radio panel.

and on both sides of the switch I have added blue LEDs that react to the bass below 80hz.

The 3 button touch switch also controls my amplifier and interrupts the ground to all accessory circuits.

Here are some videos that show everything in action

Heres a walk around of all the LEDs and things

I will try and put up a schematic to everyone to understand how I have it rigged.

And in the LEDs next to the switches green is anything >80hz and blue is <80hz

let me know what ya'll think

[Back with my Black Civic]

Sup guys its been a while

Started up college and been doing that pretty much full time since last August on top of working 40+ hours since then too. Its summer time again though and I sat down and took some pictures of the car I got back from impound finally. It took us 632 days to get our car back.

On March 8th I towed my car from the impound lot back home and changed out the battery, spark plugs, and changed the oil. Everything started up fine and ran perfect after a new tank of fresh gas. Biggest problem with the car was actually the amount of dust all over it after sitting in a warehouse for almost 2 years.

Got it cleaned up and here are some pictures of it back in March.

and some of the shit that was broken

The next day I quickly set up my system so I could drive it to work the same way I used to. I left it like that until July.

I took everything out of my trunk and cleaned up all the sawdust from the original install in Jan 09.

A few days later I was done putting everything back in the trunk and wiring some new goodies up in there.

My three amps

Pioneer GM-X574 90wrms x 4ch

Crunch PZN2100 75wrms x 2ch

Hifonics TXi1508D 1500wrms x 1ch

So many wires in my trunk look like a bowl of spaghetti

["One 16 inch punch subwoofer"]

and its forsure not a P3

i cant believe i missed the 16"s ! thats one more inch of surface area!!!!

[saw this add on my local craigslist guy is nutts]

[do you think songs are desinged for woofers?]

Swizz Beatz goes for SQ so after he makes beats or a song he goes into and his whip which is setup for SQ and listens to the music to make sure it sounds clean before he puts it out.

Go onto YT and search for The Runners, Drumma Boy, J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League, etc making a beat. Tons of vids

did know that

i know he has a sick whip

there was some vid with mystikal hearing a new beat

[Gotta love this website!]

lol i feel the same way. stupid vw's and civics. fart cannons and rattle can flat black. i think some do have systems tho because they're sometimes hanging out in the trunk, but they look up from a long ways away to see me coming lol

too many ricers

not enough ground pounders

[Box building and design]

well i went with a 6.3 cubes tuned to about 35.

I should have listened to you and gone with what you said with the tube ports

i would have gotten a few more cubes haha

oh well, live and learn

thanks for all the help

[Clipping on purpose in Hot Tottie?]

higher bass clipping

since the subs dont move as much above ~55hz this can heat up a sub quick

ive seen much worse

ill keep an eye out for it, right now the song is banned from my system haha

like someone was saying, idk why jayz wants his song to sound like crap anyways haha

[is it possible]

i put a bandpass box in for my friends 07 stang

that trunk has a tiny opening man

youre gonna have to build into it most likely to do anything you want

[SYSTEM STOLEN!]

At a HS football game? Shit, get a lawyer and sue the school for your shit. People have gone to court on less.

sorry about your system dude

I would drop the company, theres others that could probably even get you a better quote

tell them youre gonna start telling people about the lack of any coverage and high prices
