    Forgot to ask when I bought mine, but do we get tracking numbers for our orders when they do ship?

    Decided to fool around with the idea of a removable port on my past few days off...I can now play down to ~23/24hz and still maintained loudness in the upper 40s/low 50s. Fugg yeah!

      Without it I could only play down to about 26 or 27

      Thanks man, should really be focusing on side panels to seal the wall off though lol, instead I find myself doing weird experiments!

    Got the tweeters installed just now. Finally a complete system, 4 Vifa Tweets, 4 PWX 6.5s and 2 Zcon 12s. Think it may be time to do a build log once I get these trim panels done + wall covered

      And I just want to say a big shout out to the SMD community. Finally getting to this stage has made me realize how much you all have helped me learn over the past year or so. A year ago I was rocking 2 Kicker Comps, now this? Blows my mind...

    Can't believe how much cleaner and clearer everything sounds. And to think people doubted 2 12s in a wall. Only thing I miss is being able to play mid 20s, can only play to upper 20s :(

      will77530

      why would you put two 12s in a wall

      I'm a full time college student who delivers pizzas about 40 hours a week lol. Still need to get to my spare tire so I have the amps mounted in the trunk on a hinge that gives me access to it. And I can't do any fiberglass work so mounting the 4 6.5s in doors was out of the question. It's an 03 Cavalier though

    My old BRZ2100 would do that too when setting the gain. No noise until it hit distortion, then when I backed gain off it would stop humming once the DD1 said it wasn't distorting anymore

    Jesus christ, went to order a 4ch and 2ch RCA + some 14ga wire from KNU and shipping is $50? That's as much as my damn order...where else should I get RCAs?

      Yeah, I decided I need more than 14 mpg lol. Pretty early, I've got class from 9:30-10:45. We can figure something else out if that doesn't work with your schedule.

    3. Sergeant_Skyrim

      Sergeant_Skyrim

      Naw that works fine. Would prob have to be either M or W after class though. Does wednesday after class sound good for you? (headed out for a little btw won't be back til later)

    4. Steua

      Steua

      Whatever works best for you, Wednesday is good with me. You've got my number if anything changes.

    Wisdom teeth getting pulled next friday. Putting up the wall along with PWXs and C1100.4 next Saturday. Fugg yeah

      Good to see you're finally getting the mids/highs on par with the sub stage. Still planning on using the same airspace and tuning?

    2. Sergeant_Skyrim

      Sergeant_Skyrim

      Going to see what it sounds like with the same specs in a wall and then tweak it from there if that makes sense. I'm sure that I'll end up lowering the net volume per sub a little bit though in addition to taking out that center port wall and making a sort of 'v' in the back to direct airflow. Just really hoping it's not raining otherwise not a damn thing will get done...how's your big plan coming along?

    3. Steua

      Steua

      Sounds like the smart way to go about it; I'm excited to see how it'll come out.

      My plans have changed a bit; got tired of getting 13-14 mpg so I'm in the process of getting the truck ready to sell so I can get something a little more fuel efficient. I'm leaning towards trying to find a CRX but we'll see what happens.

    9k to 33898 please sir!
  10. Sergeant_Skyrim
    That 85.4 is very tempting, just to double check all of these come with a 1 year warranty right?

    Is this the regular version of the song or an edited version? Shit slams haha

    Well, coming from somebody who cut their first ported box using a jigsaw, I can tell you that a crappy (to an extent) ported box built to good specs will destroy a prefab sealed box. I went from 2 Kicker Comp 12s in a prefab to a ported and it was an extreme difference. So my final advice to you would be to build a ported box for just 1 of those 15s and sell the other one if you don't have any use for it. I know you say you don't want to do ported because you don't have experience building them, but I didn't either and my shitty ported turned out hella better than the prefab

    It's just been so long since I've had my balls jiggled by my ZCON that I must not remember what a great sensation it really is :'( Still waiting on it to be fixed. But as everybody else has said OP, you don't have the proper space for 15s. Go a size smaller and you'll be tons happier
  15. Sergeant_Skyrim
    I beg to differ. I've got one of my old Kicker Comp 12s in my 2.2 cu ft. box for my ZCON tuned to 31Hz and Rack City still jiggles my balls. And I surprisingly haven't blown it with my BRZ2100 yet
  16. Sergeant_Skyrim
    The reason I was looking for opinions was because like I said before, I don't want to place blame without knowing who it should be placed to. I just wanted to make sure I covered all my bases before emailing Mark saying that it looks to be a manufacturing defect and it turning out not to be. I'm not trying to cause problems, merely making sure I cover all my bases
  17. Sergeant_Skyrim
    Sent Mark an email already, he has given awesome customer service in the past. It's just that I've worked my ass off for this and then for this to happen just made me pretty mad. I'm not so mad anymore, just hopeful that I can get it fixed since it's not something that I did to break it. So I guess I'll give him some time to get back to me and I did also provide him with the pictures and all =)
  18. Sergeant_Skyrim
    Subsonic was 27ish, here are two more pics. Guess the dust cap did come unglued and start slapping the cone, is this my fault or manufacturing defect? I need to know if I should be looking towards warranty to cover this or what

    2.2 cu ft net tuned to 32.something Hz on a Hifonics Brutus BRZ2100.1D wired to 1ohm.

    I'm honestly so mad right now it's fricking ridiculous...I've only had this sub installed and playing for a couple weeks and it's already broken. What I need to do now is figure out whether it was a manufacturer error, or something that I did. I don't want to place blame without knowing, but there's nothing that I can think of that I've done that could've done this. I set my gains/headunit with my DD-1, I built a box within their recommended specs, sub says it takes 2250w RMS and I'm not even giving it that. This thing costed $532.39 (I bought it brand new from SSA) including shipping which was $80 something and I worked my ass off to buy it so I'm obviously not going to do anything to hurt it. In the pictures you can see what I'm going to call ripples around the dust cap. It just happened today and sounded like something (I'm assuming the dust cap) sounds like it's flapping apart. I immediately stopped playing it because I really don't want to damage it more than it already is. Does this look like a build error like something just wasn't aligned properly when the sub was built or what? I'm just looking for help diagnosing what it is, and I really need to go blow off some steam because I worked my ass off delivering pizzas for months to make this happen. Thanks to anybody who can reply and try to help me out, I'll be sending an email to SSA once I can get this figured out. Again, not trying to dish out blame to anybody I really just want to know what would have caused this
  21. Sergeant_Skyrim
    Wish I would've known this before I went and dropped money on a new alt lol. Oh well, guess that just means I can have twice the power I have now when my 235a alt gets here
  22. Sergeant_Skyrim
    Yeah, I was just expecting to not be able to play full tilt 2100 watts/200amp current pull on my stock alternator with only 1 upgraded battery in the back lol. I can't make any videos yet, but I will be taking a few after class tomorrow!
  23. Sergeant_Skyrim
    Was thinking maybe the same thing lol. I'm noticing a lot of very weird things going on now too. I used to peak right around 52 or 53Hz with my old 2 Kickers on the 200 watt amp and now it seems to peak around 30Hz? The lower frequencies(25-33ish) seem to be wayyy louder than higher frequencies (37-60ish) for some reason as well
  24. Sergeant_Skyrim
    The link I posted is for the 12volt diagram for wiring a DVC D2 sub down to 1 ohm. I will be rewiring it like the diagram shows when I get a chance, just hope that's what the problem is.
  25. Sergeant_Skyrim
    Alright, so I just put my new system all in today. Consists of 1 D2 ZCON 12, 1 BRZ2100.1D, and 1 extra XP3000 in the back. All 1/0 connections between hood battery/3000 and grounds for both batteries + from XP3000 to amp. Also got my 3 fuses connected too along the power wire. My problem is, this amp says that it draws 200 amps of current. I've still got my stock alternator so I was expecting some major voltage drop after playing full tilt 25-40Hz songs for a couple hours. The thing is, I'm not really seeing much more voltage drop than when I had my 200 watt MTX amp hooked up to my two Kickers. I tuned everything with the DD-1 before playing it, and have the settings set to what they should be. The lowest that my voltage has dropped to today was 12.8 while at idle. When I'm driving I sit right around 13.6-13.8 constant. One thing that I did notice was that I have a D2 DVC sub and I didn't wire it exactly like this shows: http://images.the12volt.com/12voltimages/1_2ohm_dvc_1ohm.gif Instead, I have 4 wires running from sub -> amp. Both negatives going to the amp negatives, and both positives going to the amp positives. Both lefts are going to the left channels, and both rights are going to the right channels. Would this still wire it down to a 1ohm load or am I sitting at a 4 ohm load? This is the only thing I think of at the moment, seeing as my voltage doesn't drop as much as it should for a 200amp current pull. Any help is much appreciated!
