95legwagon Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 not to take the cops side ( at all!) but in certain states you cant have any red or blue lights outside the car for obvious reasons..... check your local regulations and laws....maybe you could beat the ticket and get your lights back if there isnt really a law in your state about it. i know in florida you cant have red or blue above the bumpers...but can have any other color anywhere. looks good for sure though!!!!! i think there real i was looking through that guys stuff he sells and it looks like he finds stuff at auctions and just sells it Yea, it looks like someone got the mids about a month ago....shit.

FosgateLife Posted February 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2013 I wasnt sure about the rules in the first place and the guy i bought it from online claimed "legal in all 50 US states" so i thought to myself... What the hell why not? So now i have that proof going for me and alot of cop buddies said the judge is gonna let me go with a warning because we really dont take it that serious out here. So, i think ill be fine?. Anyways, they werent suppose to be on because they were faulty lights.. AGAIN. And even if they were on, i had them on the scanning green color from the night before when they became defective, so i think ill be fine but we'll see!! 2007 Volvo S40 2.4i (no turbo )(Soon XS Power D2400) Stock battery for nowRockford Fosgate 4 gaugeAudioque 6.5" Mid Bass (front)Rockford Fosgate T1 Tweets (front)Rockford Fosgate T2 6.5" Mids (rear)Rockford Fosgats T600-4 (Mids and highs)Rockford Fosgate P3001Fi SSD 12" with PSI recone, building box<p>400 watts, 139.3 @ 42 hz , in the kick window open.

FosgateLife Posted March 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 So since i blew the Punch 75 25 to life ive been in desperate need of bass... Soooo i bought an older RF P3001. Puts out around 400 rms at 2 ohm. Good for what it is... A temp amp. Good sounding system for now!! Nothing special but ya know it'll do. After hearing a HDC4, my mind is set My final system will be 4 crescendo PWX's, 4 hertz HT25 tweeters, precision power (or rockford fosgate) door speaker amp, either a AQ 2200 or a crecendo 2k sub amp, SMD RCA's, XS power D3100 in the back, RF wiring.

FosgateLife Posted March 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2013 OKAY got a few updates to share!!! First of all...cleaned up some wires under the hood...Put in a new LED switch, mounted and hidden so only i know where it is and it's not gonna fall down. Got my volt meter in also! I had a perfect little spot by my foot! Its sideways but idgaf. haha. like i said i got a new amp.... WELL, i sealed off the PSi box from the trunk and its LOUDER than when i had 600+watts on it. its makes a HUGE difference! ANDDDD, i ordered 20 sq ft of FatMAt sound deadener and will be putting it all under the carpet and on the rear deck in the trunk. So should make a bit of difference! okay big update. I started the design process for my final trunk box plan for the AQ HDC4 im gonna be getting hopefully! If i dont do that im gonna get a PSI P3 12. i want the AQ BADDDD! I will be bolting it to the frame/body (whatever). and the frame for the box will be made out of 2x4's and a sheet of 1/2 inch all the way up to the back of the box... then im gonna use a plexiglass screen in front of the box to show off the amps. (undecided). ALSO...im gonna use a 1 inch plexiglass sheet with red LED'S inside the box to show off the sexy magnet!!!!!! then i will make a panel to hide all the sheet. And if i get the AQ then ill put the logo on the left side of the box in the trunk... all these plans arent completely final but basically 95%... They are susceptible to change! tell what you guys think PLEASE!! This is the re-done wiring. 100 A fuse for amps. 30 A for all the rest of components (lights, voltmeter..etc.)---> top right corner under hood 2x4 Wood is brown Bottom Like i said the MDF sheet will be on the top with matching volvo gray carpet Final I FOUND SOME NEW TWINKIES 2007 Volvo S40 2.4i (no turbo )(Soon XS Power D2400) Stock battery for nowRockford Fosgate 4 gaugeAudioque 6.5" Mid Bass (front)Rockford Fosgate T1 Tweets (front)Rockford Fosgate T2 6.5" Mids (rear)Rockford Fosgats T600-4 (Mids and highs)Rockford Fosgate P3001Fi SSD 12" with PSI recone, building box<p>400 watts, 139.3 @ 42 hz , in the kick window open.

FosgateLife Posted March 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 Alright, so i got some Fatmat for really cheap and i just couldnt pass it up... I know it sucks but im doing the WHOLE trunk in fall (not just the tire well) in second skin when i do the rebuild. Looks good. And it actually helped with ALOT of road noise. So thats good! Thats the whole reason i did it! (And to keep my exhaust heat pan from rattling from bass) Cleaned the surface with acetone then applied the deadener Before: lots of shit and dirt, i vaccumed it all out and prepped it I only got the 10 sq ft pack because i wanted to see how i liked it and all, and im gonna use the rest in little places in the car that have rattles and stuff I get no feedback someone leave some pleeaassseee! 2007 Volvo S40 2.4i (no turbo )(Soon XS Power D2400) Stock battery for nowRockford Fosgate 4 gaugeAudioque 6.5" Mid Bass (front)Rockford Fosgate T1 Tweets (front)Rockford Fosgate T2 6.5" Mids (rear)Rockford Fosgats T600-4 (Mids and highs)Rockford Fosgate P3001Fi SSD 12" with PSI recone, building box<p>400 watts, 139.3 @ 42 hz , in the kick window open.
