  1. Well, Truck has been parked for a few weeks. Having strange issues. truck will start up great, but stall out after about 5 minutes of idling. hopefully it is a simple fix, but I have tried a couple things so far with no luck. May have to take it in to the shop. Will likely be pretty pricey and set back my build plans a bit. but we shall see. Once i get it up and running again, I got some pretty big plans in store ?

    -5 here right now, -24 with wind chill, just took the garbage bags to the curb in my boxers tshirt and shoes... burrrrrrr 

    I'm a couple hours north of you and this morning it was -15 with a wind chill of -34. Had my car running for about 15 min before work and it still took 10 minutes of driving before the inside was warm. I tell myself every year I'm living in the wrong state

    Sounds like a fuel pump. But what I came to ask lol, at work looking through the build, great work btw, how does the 90 do at 1 ohm? going to be adding some more mids soon and was goin to buy a 2 channel for the tweets and run all mids off the 90 but if its doing the job well, then maybe not?

    Thank you! The Q4.90 is doing great at 1 ohm. I emailed soundqubed to see what they recommended, and they said that the amp could handle 1 ohm, but may get hot, and recommended putting a fan on it. I ordered a fan, but haven't put it in. Honestly I don't think I need it. I live in Wisconsin so the weather is very cold, which could be helping, but I haven't had a single issue with it! 

  4. I caved and strapped both amps. I have the sub level at -5 on the head unit and god damn, It is still loud as hell. I dont know if it is just because ive been without bass for so long, but its almost as loud as the stock hdc4's. These are still super stiff, gain turned down, and sub level turned down. Will only get better with time :)

  5. small update. Switched out one of my 3500's for one of the new ones I got. So now both sub amps have the etched soundqubed and match. Ordered a fan to put on my Q4.90 since I'm running my doors at 1 ohm. That will be installed soon. As well as a relay for everything. 

    Got the custom hdc4's all up and running and they sound great! Breaking them in on one amp for now. But will be going full tilt soon! 

    Also, (shameless plug) if you like my build, it would be greatly appreciated if I could get your vote for this months system of the month! :)

    Damn fine job on the panels man,.. damn nice work bud. And i feel ya on the power used. I (especially lately on here) see where people want or think they want 5k or some silly shit to each door, or 500 watts to every driver and tweeter, and just think "holy shit !!! " . I had 4 8s and 2 tweets per door, ALL ran off a single Ampere 125.4, and jesus, ... I had to attenuate everything down. Big time on the tweets.  Was PLENTY of go for me. Plenty. Anyway, hope the cat didnt fuck up your board. Bout all you can do is wire it up and hope. Good luck bud. Let us know how it all goes. 

    Yeah these doors on the one amp will keep up PLENTY with the two 15's. And I'm sure would hold up just fine to another two with two more amps once I put another Q4.90 on em. And thank you! I quite proud with how they came out. Especially for my first time doing doors, and my first time wrapping anything with vinyl. Just hope my door hinge pins and bushings hold up to the weight. Lol. 

    And yeah. Fingers are crossed on the amp. I'm a little scared to test it. lol.

  7. Also, I'm a little worried. I recently bought 2 more 3500's, and I had them both sitting on top of my dresser. I guess one wasn't on all the way because in the middle of the night, my cat must have stepped on it where it was hanging off, and it fell about 4 feet onto the ground. I took off the back plate and there was a tiny bead of solder that was rattling around. Praying it didn't fuck something up from the fall. That would SUCK. Will be hooking it up to my test bench soon to find out. 

  8. Got my doors mounted and playing! And my oh wow. They sound great! Each door is just on one channel of my Q4.90, so each speaker is only getting about 20 watts or so. But man they are loud and clear. Nice and punchy mid bass too actually. I was quite surprised. Also hooked up my A pillars. Was scared they were gonna be too harsh having 2 super tweets in each pillar, but again, those too are nice and clear and go really well with the doors. Very happy with how everything turned out :)

    not the best pics, but here are the doors mounted

  9. Thanks! Definitely did not go as easy as I thought it would. The first piece of vinyl I cut I messed up on and it was a little short. Tried to get it to work, but ended up tearing it all off. Got some 4 stretch vinyl from a teammate local to me and gave that a try. Went so much better. It was still kind of a pain to get it all to stick smoothly, but I agree that it turned out looking good. The shiny black glue you can see above the speakers is black E6000. when I cut the vinyl where it met the panel, you could see some body filler, and it wasnt sticking the best. Laid a bead of black E6000 along it and smoothed it with my finger and it made it look MUCH better. 

    Got the second panel body filled, and going to go out and sand it in about an hour or so. Should be ready for vinyl tonight!
