NOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!! not an SP4 :( get your recone ordered quick

I know :( I was pissed! Tinsel leads burned up and caught the spider on fire. Now in deciding if I wanna keep my car or get a small suv. Looking at an Oldsmobile bravada. Or a jimmy. If I get an suv, then I have to decide if I want to fix the sp4, or go with 4 sound qubed hds3 12's, or 3 hds3 15's

What would you do? I am so torn! Lol

Do you know what caused that? I have been watching the build man. You notice any super differences from unsealed to a sealed trunk?

I would get more sp4s not hds3 but to each their own

Im not really surprised your sub blew with tinsel leads, it was happening alot

If you recone it will be with foad leads

I asked fi audio what foad stands for and they said "whatever you want it to stand for"

lol

if you decide to keep your trunk you really gotta seal it off, the difference for me was huge especially on the low end

I didnt get to seal it off. It blew before i could :/ and for some reason, my battery bank is dropping to the 12's, but battery under the hood holds 14.4. so its sort of isolated some how. and i was playing a 35 hz tone for a bit to clamp my alt and the leads got too hot and burned up and caught the spider on fire :/

If i do recone, should i go through fi, or someone else? and how hard is it to do yourself? never reconed so i was thinking about sending it to fi

  • 2 weeks later...

Got some updates!!

Decided not to sell my car, and I am going to be getting the build up and running again. Ordered the recone for the sp4. That should be here in about 2 weeks. Got the basket all cleaned up and ready for the recone. And as for my amp, Sold my lanzar amp and bought a sq 3500! Will also be ordering a spool of 0 gauge to add 2 runs of ground from front to back. Hopefully that will help with my voltage issues. Will also be upgrading big 3 wires to ofc. Everything should be up and running in about a month or so!

Ordered a spool of sky high 0 gauge along with some 8ga speaker wire, amp inputs, and some lugs and heat shrink. Will run 2 more runs for ground.

getting some templates made for some beauty panels that will be carpeted, then have an angled amp rack in the middle holding the 3500. should look clean
