Also, dat bugeye

[Pro7]

I love the way the new rims and grill make the car look, it definitely looks classy with the 20% tint and projectors now. That thing is clean and I can't wait to see what you do for the stereo side of things

you don't want to run the RF amp, just ship it to me. haha

haha, im not even kidding, i am debating talking it out of the plastic. I got it brand new for a steal but even a steal idk if its the right amp for me. I may want a little more power to compensate for impedence rise of the dd z sub. i want to run squeeky clean power.

Crazy how much different the car looks with the new rims. Well not different, but how much it adds.. I'm sure you know what I mean haha!

Looks good!

Tuned for more!

thanks man, i know what you mean.

Bag that bish

too expensive for this car plus idk if thats this cars style or mine. sure if it was a cls like that other benz on here, I could justify bags, but this cars ride is amazing right now even with the low pros. plus i am not a huge fan of the slammed look and wearing through my expensive tires quick.

Youe car looks so much nicer with the headlight and rim upgrade. good job man!

thanks man!

deedee zed, tuned in.

z4 motor? or 3?

Everytime Frank Lopez switches his tahoe up I see the new one, they always confuse me though...

tuned in, love your builds.

this is the z95 motor. it was built for sq. as a side effect, it still gets loud since it is still a z with the ned (neo). I used to run 2 z3 12s in the old car but those weigh in at 65 lbs a piece. plus they take more power than i want the electrical for. this guy sits in at 28 lbs and gives me the performance of a DD 9900 Supercharged series (equivalent motor force) and sounds much better doing it without the weight.

Bag that bish

Naw, looks nice the way it is

thanks man. I agree. I did think about getting a sportier suspension to drop it 1.5 inches or so, but idk, im digging the ride currently. its super quiet on the freeway where I want it to be quiet, and if im getting into a little spirited driving, it still has that connected feel to it. i love these tires! I feel as confident in rain as I do dry. snow, well, its rear wheel drive, but the traction control helps out a ton. the wider tires in rear aren't great for snow, but i have always driven rear wheel drive so I am used to it. Just got to plan ahead for the hills and a little drifting never hurt anyone. plus the higher clearance is ok for Michigan potholes and snow.

Damn didn't see this. This car is mint. It honestly looks amazing. Hard to believe it is as old as it is. It looks great

New build looks good too. Cant wait to hear it.

thanks man. demo this weekend

now tuck them wheels...

haha fronts and rears are as far in as possible, literally 3 mm away from the upper control arm and rears are stuffed in. no rubbing issues at all at any speed or turn. I didnt want that ricer stuck out wheel look for this car. if I lower it they will be perfectly tucked but I am nervous Ill get rubbing issues which I dont want and the roads up in michigan at least in winter dont favor slammed cars. it would look nice though.

this is exactly my car and idk how I feel about it

if I was going to do it, this is how low I wqould go

Looks good with new rims and other upgrades

thanks man

thanks man. yea i have 225s on the front oin 8.5j and 255 on rear 9.5j. the c63 comes with 275 in rear and 235 or 45 in front which would fit the rims a little better, but i do love the stretch. it tucks the wheels in better. and thanks.

HIDs next.

thanks man. and youll see in the next few hours. more updates!

6th order anyone?

front chamber specs

rear chamber spec.

projected response, keep in mind WINISD can only model for parallel 6ths, not series. so tuning for rear may be slightly different as well as low end output.

also , my cars resonant frequency is 42hz so that should lift the dip up quite nicely

AND........

SEAGULL!!!!!

[Bump4life]

here is a vs plot.

the blue is the 6th order.

the green is a basic ported box like i usually build for these subs.

like I said before, the resonance of mny car should bring up the dip in the 6th order plot to be fairly flat. and since 6ths are more efficient, i may be able to clamp more power thus yielding a larger bandwidth over the sub frequencies, and be louder!!

[soundsystemaniac]

Tuned in bro!!

[Bump4life]

Tuned in bro!!

youll see the piece why i need your plexi help.

[Bump4life]

got some pvc

3 inch precision port w/ PVC. youll see where its used later

z95 motor. 24 lbs of pure awesome ness sql bass.

where all great things start

design 2

numbers rough for design 2

a bunch of nonsense graphs

playing with numbers

many more sims run

i forgot to mention, the projected Frequency responses according to winisd is 22 hz to 84 hz before sub unloads.

i will be crossing at maybe 60-65 hz though on top end and on low end i may be able to reach down past 20 since this is a quasi 6th (series)

[Bump4life]

my old system from the other car. will be missed, but forever in my heart, blah blah blah, louder lower, more brutal. lets go. maybe not louder or more brutal in this trunk car., kinda hard to beat a 153 sealed on dash in a trunk, but I wil get lower!

I wasnt about to throw out 400+ dollars in baltic birch. so I salvaged the old wood. prybar and chisel and 4 pound mallet. took 2 days to get out of there. it was definetly built strong.

miss this cap bank

back to normal

i bet not many of you who build in car can return it to a shape in which you would never know this car had 150 in it. haha
