Selling off my carbon fiber sub box......

Tongue weight man. It's not about how much weight the truck can pull, it's about how much tongue weight the rear suspension can lift. The tongue weight of a 26' trailers is probably around 600-700 pounds, then add 350-ish for subs and box and I am over what the rear suspension is designed to hold. But honestly, its more for the carrying space in the back of the truck. Tired of hauling shit stuffed into my back seats, barely fitting.

You have any helper bags, man? With the money from your box, you could grab some helper bags then do a small build with a pair of E8v3's or something of the sort.

It's an Escalade. It comes from the factory with rear air ride suspension.

Vegas baby!!!! F-yeah!! Venetian FTW!!!

Im going for new years. So stoked. have fun be safe..that place is a blast.

15.60s to 15.80s depending on the weather, but that was before the 28s and stereo. On the other hand, my street legal race car runs 9s naturally aspirated.
-
I just put the subs in the truck two months ago. Haven't raced it since then. I usually only race it when my race car is broken or I feel like messin around. With the addition of the 28" wheels and the stereo stuff, I'll probably be lucky to run under 17 seconds....lol
-
Maybe there is just a subtle difference between the Yukon and Escalade in how the hood is shaped there? Dunno. I should have taken a pic when I test fit it in there. Couldn't leave the battery there, though, because I wasn't able to secure it at the moment. It fits for sure, just need to fab up something custom. I know I can't be the first one to do this?
-
Believe it or not, I actually drag race my Escy. NHRA does not allow batteries of any type inside the vehicle unless they are in a sealed, vented box, or behind a sealed firewall. Also, I tow my REAL race car with the truck, so between the sub box and the tongue weight of the trailer, I'm trying to keep from putting more weight in the rear. Pic racing with the old 22" wheels on it....
-
You're right that the D3100 won't fit with the factory mount and hold-down. To fit the D3100 I'll have to fab up my own brackets, lay the battery on it's side, and move the radiator overflow forward about an inch. I've already checked all that, just looking to see who else has done it and how they built the support.

Pics?

Hey all. So, I'm thinking that putting 3 D3100s under the hood of a Tahoe/Escalade is a do-able task. Just wanted to see if anyone has pics they can post of how they mounted the batteries on the passenger side. I already have the first D3100 mounted under hood in the stock location. Pic below. I think I already have an idea of how I want to do it, but I'd love to see if others have done something I may not have thought of before I start cutting and welding. Below is a pic of the passenger side under hood. I am certain I can get a second D3100 up next to the firewall if I move my radiator overflow forward about an inch if I lay it on it's side and make a bracket strong enough to withstand the weight. I am thinking the third D3100 will go where the air filter inlet is now. I'll just need to shorten the tube a bit and move the air cleaner out of the way. So, any ideas and pics of your mounting technique would be appreciated.

I noticed several of the Rockford Fosgate Power series amps on the Sonic site say (2010 Model) in the title and some do not. What is the difference between the ones that say that and the ones that do not?
-
The guys in the warehouse next to mine are all deaf or partially deaf. A couple of them have sat in my truck to listen to it. They turn their hearing aids off or down and just mouth......."wooooow"....with a big smile. And the saying that their other senses are heightened must be true because they tell me they can feel my truck shaking the ground 30+ feet away....lol.

Yay!! Subwoofer porn is what that is. Dirty, nasty, sexy, naked subwoofer parts!!!! -
Just gave a demo to a guy with a BMW 5 series with a Boss 10" sub and a Boss amp. He actually cut holes in his rear package tray and rear firewall because "the bass wasn't getting through. He was surprised it didn't help.

Does it make me an evil person if I have this uncontrollable urge to take people's shopping carts and move them to another isle when they step away from them and leave in the god damned way of everyone else?

Only way to wire two DVC 4 subs to 2 ohms is if you only use one voicecoil on each sub, but then you can only use half as much power on each sub.
-
Title says he has three subs maybe? Or one level 3? Not clear OP.
-
There's nothing stopping you from putting them on the T2500 and just adjusting the gain down a bit. Start with the gain adjusted with the DD-1, then adjust gain down just a bit every time you smell stinky coil. You'll find the sweet spot in no time. No harm in turning the gain down for now, but having a better amp for future use.

Dammit!! Fell just short of my goal. Got a 149.4 on TL, with 100% stock electrical. AND won Rookie SUV at the 3x yesterday!! Time to install the DC alt and the XS bat and begin planning for other improvements!

That carbon fiber box is doing you wonders
-
Hi, my name is Stupid.....and I'm a material waster and a hack.
-
well since you like to "waste" materials lol. you should build a second box tailor made for one sub then I bet you smash that 150 easy. then you can just swap em out when needed for comps

Can i Please have some stickers
Captain Stupid replied to flarobbie's topic in DC Sound Lab - Big Bass on ANOTHER LEVEL!
Why would you want to run their stickers if the company themselves dont want to give you any? Stickers aren't cheap to make and it adds to the bottom line, I get that. I've made them before in bulk and I think they were about $0.75 each when ordering 300 or so. So I get that companies may not want to send stickers out with every item purchased anymore just so a guy can stick them on his toolbox or not stick them anywhere. But if you are running their product and you ask them for them and they won't send you any, then why would you want to fly their colors so much? I agree with what the one guy said above about going to office depot and making them yourself.....if you really need them that bad. Not busting your balls OP, just saying I'd let the company decide if I rep their shit or not by whether they gave me any or not. -
148.8 @ 36hz today with one 18 on stock electrical!! Almost hitting 150!!!! That's the goal for tomorrow!
