Yea. Jl Audio needs some sort of price drop. I know my boss was excited to become an dealer of JL audio. But, we do not sell there subs or amps. Just reg speakers. To expensive. And yea the brands I see a lot on here are cheaper and to me a lot better in its ways.
-
I think that there is one on the mechman website.. I think that is where I got mine from.
-
They say they are more expensive cause they are made in the usa. Except the w0v3 and 1 other sub. I just had a 4 hour jl audio meeting from jl. Just one of those brands that I thought would have someone on a site like this.
-
I see a lot of reps from a lot of different brands. But, JL Audio. Is there someone on here from JL audio???? I just had a 3 hour JL Audio meeting and the guys kept talking about how big they are but I hear nothing on here. My shop is a JL audio dealer And glad that we got them in almost a year ago.

I put an focus SVT H.O 220amp alt on my focus se and it ran a at normal temp. But then my car always ran cooler then normal before. This made it run where it should be running. But, about a month later I had to replace the water pump and not it is back to running back to colder then normal temps.
-
I just notice that. And then The other one says better then JL Audio. Funny.
-
The duel one is funny. I know someone with those and they do not pound. But, I like the idea about 2 of ya going there as 2 interested buyers and messing with him. Be an interesting to find out what he does. Hidden cam like thing.
-
I let a guy talk me into letting him make a brace for it. Said the svt focus alt fits then the brace to run 2 alts will fit. So he built it and I put it on and no matter what we did the belt kept slidding off. I cant find someone that can make a brace to put 2 alts on it. But, I get what ya saying. Ill just have to make sure that the xs power battery is a d class. Believe thats the one that is meant to be under the hood... Use to have the d3100. And after reading up on the product I am just going to get one of the amps and 2 t1 12" subs. Thanks.
-
Find a simular make/model of car and use that alt. I have an 2003 ford focus se. And I got a mechman 220amp alt that is meant for the focus svt. And it works. Same connections and all.
-
I still have my mechman 220amp alternator (2003 ford focus se with the mechman 220amp thats ment for a svt focus.) and stock battery. When I was in the hospital I had no choice but to sell the batteries and almost all of my equipment. I am getting xs power d3100 I think it is. One I had before I had to sell it.
-
I got ya. Forgot its a 1,600 max watt subs. and I have seen those amps do 3000 watts. Well, I could do the 2 amps and then 3 of the Power T1D212 subs. That should even it out. 2 ohms is what I will run them at.

I want to say around february 5th. I posted the sale of my system with no pics. I know that it was against the rules to post selling something with no pics. I was in and out of the hospital with major health problems. Heart problems for no one ask. And yes I am doing better. To the admin that sent me a message thanks for keeping that post alive. And to those that sent me messages on my equipment I was selling. Sorry I didnt get to you all. I had stuff posted on facebook, here and craigslist. So, I was busy with a lot of responses. Thanks for those that sent me messages with get well messages. All I have left is just my JVC radio, 4 gauge kicker wiring kit, 1 kenwood performance series 1,800 watt amp and the same kicker 12" dcvr subs. People offered me more then what I wanted for everything else I was selling. Now time to start rebuilding it back up. I am an installer at mickey shorr and we are a big rockford fosgate dealer. Thinking on 2 rockford fosgate t1 2ohm 12" subs. Heard they have a deeped bass then the t2's. I never heard the t2's. But, installed 4 t1's and that shit was nuts. So, people oppions on that and I am looking at 2 rockford fosgate 2,500 continuous power amps. Only reason I am thinkin rockford is cause I get them at cost not the price they sell at. So saving money is nice. But, if I can get a simular sub maybe soundstream and in 12" subs then I might take it. I have a guy I work with that builds custom boxes. So not worried there.

Like I have been saying I am here for help not to start crap. Been trying to avoid it. But seems I can't. And ALL I have got is wrong information and trouble starters. Thats fucked up.

dont mix the 8s and 12s. there are like three people on here who think its just the greatest idea ever. Its not. If you want to put hte 8s in the doors and cross them over high so be it. Mixing sub sizes is just plain ghetto and has a high potential for failure.
Ok. Now I have had people tell me that. Since I was thinking on adding 6x9 to the back window. Could I also put them there? My 6x8 stock in the doors. Or is it better to put in the doors? If so I would have to put them in the front doors for my daughter doesn't get to them.

I have 2 amps on the back of my back seats. And one is under my driver seat. Which my seats have a good gap. So I have a board bolted to the chair frame then amp bolted to it. And the grounds for the ones in the trunk are to the metal side walls. Didnt think that grounding them to the back of my seats would be a good idea due to amps there. ( back of my seats are a thin metal.) And the one under my seat is grounded to the seat frame.
Oh and I dont want to start drama here. I have more then enough drama at home. Single father with baby mama drama. It is like the worse kind of drama. Especially when I have full custody of my daughter.
-
What vehicle is thisgoing in? And why 2 12s and 2 8's?
2003 ford focus se. Trunk not the hatch back. And I have to keep my back seat cause of my 1 1/2 year old daughter. SO under the back seat works fine.
-
What subs and amps do you have?
I have 2 12" kicker dcvr which I have 2 kenwood performance series 1,800 watt amps going to those at 2 ohms. Then DC audio lvl2 8" on the DC audio 2.0k amp.
why are you running a lvl 2 and kickers? im not going to get into whether you can or cant mix sub sizes blah blah blah, but just wondering why 2 12s and an 8?
Waiting for someone to ask that. I seen a friend of a friend focus like mine with 2 8" under the back seat. So, I have him helping me with that part. I cant do what I want due to my back seat for my daughters car seat. So underneath works great. And the kickers will be changed once I get that money.

Who told you a separate power wire for each amp is a bad idea?
Few people on here. Back like a year ago, Before I forgot my pw and made this sn. And there are still people that seem to still give me wrong info. Why I am re-asking this question like a year later. Hoping to get the right info. I am working on my first big build and want to make sure it all done right.
You're high as giraffe dick. No one here would tell you that
Look not trying to start crap. Trying to get my system built right the first time. And yes people have told me the wrong stuff. And then I repeat what they say and i get put down and all that. Even after I say it is what I was told. Why I am here trying to get answers. Just trying to get my first big build built the right way with out any fights and all that.
that's n8 being n8, probably just a joke.
Hope so. Another one of my post a few people jumped on my like that for saying what others on here told me. But, like I said I am here to help with what lil I know and to learn and build my system right the first time.

So then what would ya recommend for the power wires? All to one battery or that does not matter? One is under the hood to replace the stock battery and one in the trunk. One new one that I do not have in yet.
do a seperate run of 1/0 to each amp from the back battery. And you will be good. Are they strapped at all? are they all sub amps or 2 monos and 1 4chan?
edit: ninja'd
Sub amps. I am still working on the box for the 2 8"subs for under my back seats. So they are sitting in a temp box on the floor of my back seats. So all 3 are class d monoblock amps. 2 1800 watts and a 2k

Trunk rattle
in Fabrication, Fiberglass, Etc
Posted · Edited by basshead8569
So I have an 2003 ford focus se.
Now that black plastic piece with the ford logo in the middle and then the trunk lid brake light rattle. Is there a way to fix them from rattling with out using the foam stuff everyone keeps talking about? I was thinking on taking the brake light out and filling it in or findng a trunk lid that does now have that. Any suggestions on what I could do? Oh and the black emblem has blown off a few times now same thing with the focus emblem. The focus emblem is coming off here soon.
