BASS14 Posted January 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 Looks good. I run the same amp.

LSN2meBoom916 Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 Honestly... I would clean it up a lot. 1:Build an amp rack/cover to hide the wires after I routed them better and zip tied em up. 2:Hide the dist block and as mentioned add a fuse. 3:Upgrade the speaker wire going to the subs and re-rout it NOT through the ports. 4:Personally I'd build a different looking/shaped box cuz until you said you guys built that one I was thinkin it was pre fab. It has the standard slanted front-face, just turned backwards. 5:Maybe just try re-covering it and take more time doing the edges where the material meets. Other than that I like the sub choice, Eclipse deck FTW, and that amp is fine although I'm sure you won't get a lotta love round here (SMD) just cuz these fellas are big on lottsa juice. I wouldnt take it too personal. If it's really in the 140-145db range on a TL thats awsome for 2 12's but IMO it just reinforces my beliefe that those speakers are worth every penny...and I can't wait to install the 4 of em I have sittin in my closet for next summer.

dwright27 Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 you could upgrade woofers and amps. maybe grab some of the new audiopulse subs like the revo ones and triple the juice to each one 2006 F-150 4 DC XL M2 18's Walled Daily Driver XS Power 4 DC 3.5kw Team DC Team S.P.L.

LSN2meBoom916 Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 come on ppl i want the help and info!!Well I'm not sure..and I guess I'm not the only one that doesn't get what you're asking.T o "improve" the current setup, you got a lot of feedback. The only other options realy lie in re-building or swapping out gear for heavier equipment (i.e. 2 more subs or go with some Fi BTLs/RE SX's etc and some bigger amps). Maybe upgrade electrical if it seems it needs to be or hasnt been done yet-Big 3, upgraded battery, and/or Iraggi HO alt. Other than that if you really want more out of it-it's rebuild time. Maybe throw a bass enhancement piece in there-I'd def recommend an AudioControl Epic-160 indash. I have one and love it.
