89 C1500 Build log. 144 @ 28hz, loudest single cab w/o blowthru?


Recommended Posts

Got another update. I wanted to show what I was doing with the 2/0 lugs to flare them out, it's really simple, but I still wanted to show it.

My socket of choice is a E12. perfect for this.

This is very simple, it's just clamp and pound. makes it a lot easier to get all that killer wire in there.

Practicing how I can apply pressure to the inner lip of the surround, had a bucket that fit perfectly!

put two wooden rod in the basket and then slid some small sheets of wood to give the moving assembly something to hold it in place while the epoxy cured.

cleaning and lightly sanding the area

blue is where I cleaned, red is where i still have to clean. I'm surprised this POS camera took this pic so well.

this stuff smells like synthetic shit.

IMG_0258_zps211511dc.jpg

didn't take any pics of the first application, I wanted to make sure I did it right and not worry about the POS camera shutting off while taking a time sensitive pic.

Got the sticky where it's supposed to go! so happy, it looks good so far!

Whilst waiting for the stuff to cure, I took a closer look at the T100z3 and found a puzzling issue.

The weird thing is the amp still works, both channels play strong, the RCA solder joints are kinda iffy tho.

How does this amp still work with this kind of damage, and what should I do? I'm totally horrible at soldering, and I want to use this amp, but it's damaged.

What do I do? Smoove you have some advice, your a RF guy, know how to fix this?

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuggggggggggggggg!!!!! the sub I just fixed is down a coil!!!!!!!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! :badmood2::badmood2::badmood2::badmood2::badmood2:

Either a re-cone (not likely) or a single sub box or a different sub and box. PM me if you have a good sub you don't need anymore.

This is such a downer! I was ecstatic that the epoxy set so well, and pfft, all for nothing. Dammit! I have to build a box soon or I can't make SOTM. Dang.
