  1. So I was looking into doing a triple OM1 set up in my car, but I didn't want to violate my main rule for my car that it has to be able to be hidden. Then I seen my cup holders in my console with a flip up cover. Who wants to see me fiberglass 3 OM1's in my console cup holder?

      Your running out of room!

  2. What would you do with ch3&4 if 1&2 are already on the doors. Trying to figure out how to put a outside speaker display on my roof or trunk lid for when im at shows to make use of those channels and just unplug and store when im not at shows so i dont effect my daily driver. Any ideas?

      I didn't think about the LC1 idea! That's freakin awesome. I could mount the LC1 deep in the trunk where I know where it is. Let is loose during shows and cut it off when the trunk is closed...

      I was thinking about making a double baffle rear beauty panel.. Then flush mounting 4 coax CT sounds speakers in it. I have a example pic I might upload to my build log. Still debating if its best that way, but the lc1 is a great idea.

  3. Most awesome gf the world has ever seen..? Last night she almost forced me to let her put my dc 270xp on her credit card so I could get it faster.... 0_o

      Priceless....

  4. I hate that Termlab numbers are all some people care about. I have a kid telling me how much louder he will be then my trunk and I tried to explain that we have different goals. I wanted mine clean loud low and have trunk space. He disregarded the clean low and trunk space part and is telling me how much better his will be. :-/... I didn't even start it. Lol

      Thanks Kylar. Needed that :). He almost had me wanting to rip my shit out and put up a 49 to shut him up. Key word almost.

      That's why they all love mine. Looks 100% stock. I've actually had a few people get in, I turn it up and they're like "what in the fuq? that's not stock. what'd you do?" lol.

  5. 12.9v came up for a second on my volt meter on the way home. Time for electrical upgrades!

      15.5? LOL how many banks do you have?

  6. Having second thoughts about outside speakers for car show demo's. Both my gf and a friend agreed that I don't have a show car, so why put in something I can only use a couple times a year.

      outside speakers in a car? shoot yourself.

    3. Swordlordboy1234

      Swordlordboy1234

      The plan was to run 6 coax 6.5's on ch 3&4 on my ct 125.4 and put them on a lc1 to control them when I'm not at shows. It would be I. The beauty panel of my trunk so only audible at shows when my trunk is on display.

      Meh, I wouldn't do it. My car definitely isn't flashy by any means, but it certainly isn't unusual for someone to give me a thumbs up or compliment.

  7. And. She is done. <3

      Swordlordboy1234

      I'm tLking the accord. She is done. Nothing left to do on her audio wise or audio related cosmetics. Simply maintain now.:) which shouldn't be a issue how I have her set up

  8. I'm having a brain fart second guessing myself. What's easier on a 4ch. Bridged at 2ohm or every channel running 4ohm? It's the same right?

    2. Swordlordboy1234

      Swordlordboy1234

      Maybe I'm saying it wrong? Bridged so each ch sees 2ohm, so bridged at 4? Then each ch running at 4ohm vs any bridged I'm talking about is still easier right?

    3. hdorre

      hdorre

      Ahh, okay. If each channel sees 2 ohms, you'd be bridged at 4ohms.. Its confusing LOL Running at 4 ohms per channel would still be easier simply because the amplifier would output less power. On top of that, it'll be more efficient at the higher impedance, so even less work.

      Im tired, so maybe that didn't come out coherently, but 4 ohms/ch is easier lol

  9. Clean,out all expanding foam. Check. Run OFC. Check. Run all new wires. Check. Organize trunk. Check. I'm ready for my box!!!

      Shoulda laid down some masking tape ;p

  10. Has anyone ever re tapped a speaker input on a amp? I figure its gotta be similar to any other re threading process.

    1. evermaxx
    2. _paralyzed_

      _paralyzed_

      tap dat amp like a looter in a riot

    3. SnowDrifter

      SnowDrifter

      Yup it works. I tapped one of my old amps to a larger size

  11. Any SQ / SQL guys have thoughts on illusion audio? I was having a debate today with a shop and they were arguing that illusion was superior to almost any brand I named. Won't mention those here to abide by the rules.

    1. gally

      gally

      never heard of illusion audio...

      Super nice stuff. Hmu if you have any questions.

  12. Can anyone fix threads on a d3100? Negative terminal has like 5 threads that are not working.

    1. Lbox88

      Lbox88

      LOL, this is probably one of my very very worse off ideas. Buy a spool of silver solder, melt with a torch into the hole and re-drill/tap it lol. Would probably be too weak to work though.

      If I lived closer I would help you out. Take it to a machine shop and have it tapped there.

  16. This kid is arguing with me that a trunk car with 2 boss amps on 2 12's is hitting 51's.. hmm

    1. OrionStang

      OrionStang

      Throat-punch him.

    2. Swordlordboy1234

      Swordlordboy1234

      his first claim was a decent one.. that 2 15's in a trunk on a NS1 was doing 53's… i maybe could see that… maybe. but being that i haven't herd of such car I'm skeptical. But 51's on 12's… on 2 strapped boss amps?…

    3. Swordlordboy1234

      Swordlordboy1234

      Yeah but that car has two SERIOUS BADD ASS 15's on some retard power in a trunk doing 53's…

  17. Its kind of a conflicting feeling. You STRIVE to get higher voltage full tilt, and then when you do... You feel like you need more power to have better use of the voltage. #NeverEndingCycle

    1. pa-pa-platypus

      pa-pa-platypus

      amps not on fire the voltage is high enough

    2. Swordlordboy1234

      Swordlordboy1234

      I feel like not dropping into the 12's means I got too much electrical for my system. 13.8 is too damn high. MOAR POWER. cj18 this doesn't apply to you and your electrical.

      I don't need your push. :)

  19. got the d3100 installed. Got new dd1 wires in the mail. Gonna use the down time to touch up some short cuts i took no matter how small and make them right. That one lug i didn't heat shrink? You guessed it. all other small things? YEP Time to get her perfect.

    1. Rich Schenk

      Rich Schenk

      how do u like that dd1? thinking bought getting one evently

    2. rockFord_Expedition

      rockFord_Expedition

      What happened to your dd-1 wires?

    3. Swordlordboy1234

      Swordlordboy1234

      the dd1 wires broke off. the negative did. So its hard to get a reading on the dd1 unless you hold the ground to the metal plug on the dd1... which in turn sends AC voltage in your fingers and kinda tingles... New wires from tony are shipped as of yesterday! And i love the dd1. Its been a life savor for me.

  20. are there local stores to get decent priced rage gold? I look locally and see auto zone ect, selling for 70 dollars. Online i find it for 40.. Thoughts? Where do you get your body filler from?

    1. Karkov

      Karkov

      I asked the same thing twice before and the best answer I have gotten is "it's just expensive product" lol

      I bought mine on ebay and it was a 100 times cheaper than I could get locally.

  21. Do you even pony wall bro?

  23. Is liking your own status a form of masturbation?

    1. Kyblack76

      Kyblack76

  24. Never use bad grounds people. Im offically in the 13+ volt club full tilt now. Changed my rear ground from some support bar, to my rear strut tower. 1.5v difference full tilt!

    1. Rmichael91

      Rmichael91

      If only my strut mount wasnt on the OUTSIDE of my damn car -.- Might be drilling a while for a good ground.
