Deeznutz Posted January 14, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2017 Thanks guys. 400 mi. on her so far since ownership. Taking her out in a bit. I have to keep a super close on out for potholes or uneven pavement. These wheels are alot lighter than OE. Took the OE wheels out of the trunk and backseats today. WOW, they are heavy! Can't wait to start measuring again for the 10's. -Frank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n8ball2013 Posted January 14, 2017 Report Share Posted January 14, 2017 They may be lighter but are probably stronger.

Deeznutz Posted January 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2017 Update: Work has been sporadic lately. It's either feast or famine. When I purchased the rims I worked 13 out of 16 days. I told myself "If I work 5 shifts this week I can go ahead and spend some of the money on the car". I got my fifth shift in on Friday so I went ahead and purchased a used OEM BMW wind diffuser. On Saturday I went ahead and used scrap work to make my proto box. 0.65cf per sub. JL Audio 10W3V3-2's. Sensitivity is 87. JL recommends 350rms a piece. I had my 328i Crossfire VR1000 on them at 1 Ohm and they played fine. Doubt I had 1K on them, only turned them up 25 out of 30 on the Alpine. I really didn't like the subs facing the ski hole. The bass was not impressive at all. So I flipped them around to face the back and they played louder while playing "Black Beatles". Moving the subs to the very back of the trunk it played even louder. lol. Unfortunately this hogged up all of my available trunk space. I decided to cut the box in half and run the boxes separately. Subs facing the back under the convertible top area. As you can see, the ski hole is not obstructed. The subs are under the top cargo area. I can build a vanity cover so when you look into my trunk you see nothing but black. I have grocery space now! Now to figure out what amp to use. Due to their sensitivity, they need a good about of power. The VR402 or VR602 ain't going to cut it. -Frank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deeznutz Posted January 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2017 I thought about running: A)2 I.D. IDQ 12 Dual 2- but I needed a 2 Ohm stable amp. I do have a Lanzar Optidrive 50C but draws 139 amps at 0.5 ohm! B)2 Rockford Fosgate T1D2- I have the T1500-bdcp, but again this thing draws too much amperage. C)2 Rockford Fosgate HX2 12" Dual 4. I have a 800a2 I can use, but no end caps. D)1 Phoenix Gold Elite 12D Dual 2 But who wants only 1 sub?? lol. All of these designs obstruct the ski hole. Decisions, decisions. The 645ci comes with a stock 180 amp alternator, but I read these cars are sensitive to any sort of voltage drop and you'll get DTC codes like crazy. I played the radio/ car off, while testing and I dropped the battery voltage to 11.58V. The computer went crazy. The car would not start and it said I had a "Right license plate bulb out". lol. I didn't. -Frank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsneon98 Posted January 24, 2017 Report Share Posted January 24, 2017 how does the 2 seperate boxes sound? Interesting setup! Build Log: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/152954-1998-plymouth-neon-updates/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deeznutz Posted January 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2017 It sorta acts like a bandpass enclosure. It will act more like a bandpass when I close off the sides with a vanity cover. -Frank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
