2000 2dr escort zx2: From 2 18s to 8 12s: Rebuild starts pg. 13

[Crandis16]

I'm starting to look at a build for a wall now. I can't find a way to do a good way to do a side port interchangable port. I'm annoyed lol. A setup like yours with an interchangable port is definitely do-able

Man, i got to get busy on mine. You done caught me on #s

I wouldn't be worried if I were you, my car has shown to do lousy numbers when I have to drive several hours before metering. I set those "best" numbers with a full night charge on the batteries and cold equipment.

^^ Yeah, but my car hates me. I should be way louder with the equipment i have. I know my box is wrong, but my voltage still drops bad, dont know whats wrong there. And i tested quite a bit with a meter yesterday and cant hit a 152 sealed up to save my life. So FRUSTRATED right now!!

[dblovah51]

somethings definitely wrong is u cant do 152+ with ur eyes closed. cold equipment or not. start with the box.

That's why I want to do an interchangeable port. Port top might be screwing you over too.

I know i gotta redo box, but i'm at a loss as to why my electrical isnt right yet. I can be revving motor to 2000 rpms and when bass hits full tilt it will still pull it down to almost 500 rpms. If i'm not revving, it will almost shut car off!

That means you are converting energy right! I'd say that is lucky, my alt just locks up and the belt slides around it! slippin like crazy giving me a lot of drop considering the rated amperage.

Well, i'm pretty sure i have the subs and amp sold, so will rebuilding before too long if i keep system in this car.

Deconstruction on the wall is under way for a possible rebuild if i keep the car. May put the car up for sale first before i start rebuilding and see if get any good offers.
