I'm apologize for that. Yeah it has been intersting for sure lol. I am really happy with it now. It ain't no wind monster or spl beast. But it sure puts a big cheese eaten grin on my face lol. Had some friends get to hear it and sat in it. Forgot to get vids of that of course. But they both told me I was crazy while being amazed how it would play everything. He asked me to throw in Beethoven. I was surprised how good it sounded. But the one who sat in the back said it felt like someone was grabbing his throat and choking him. Dude, I had to look at the pictures again... that thing looks so menacing with the blue LED's! I'm loving that build dude! Your boy in the back seat is a wuss! 🤣 just kidding, I'm sure that's enough cone area to suck the oxygen or off your lungs if you mouth is open and your too close to the port. Again dude, great job! 2011 Chevy Silverado under construction My build log here. Check it out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dog24fret Posted February 11, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2022 Some updates on the system finally. Just too much crazy to explain. So crazy it sounds like a movie. Such is life I guess. With the help of many people plus Tony D'Amore and Tony Candela of CE electric. I have been able to eliminate almost all turn off sounds. Hardly noticeable even turning the key off before the stereo. Ended up using 8 spdt 50/30 relays for all speakers and subs. They get warm at full tilt but have not tripped once. Being done afterwards it still looks pretty decent to me. Cowboy Escort GrAnny ThUmper The Burp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dog24fret Posted February 11, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2022 I've got the system tuned now will have to do vids with that part later. When I can drive my beast. Went to drive it down the road. The transmission decided it don't want to shift out of 2nd 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬. So now I've got a 7k plus pound yard ornament I can sit in for now. The bad part is this transmission is just over 3 years old with less than 30k at most. Factory rebuilt one and it crashed on me. Not sure from sitting so long or what yet. These videos are with the eq settings flat. They are just very short ones. Not good with this yet. I had to see if it would move a half bag of halls lol. Kinda dumb but interesting 20211230_144001_1.mp4 20220108_123445_2.mp4 20211230_143921_2_1.mp4 20211230_143921_2_1.mp4 20211228_180122_2.mp4 Cowboy Escort GrAnny ThUmper The Burp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dog24fret Posted February 11, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2022 It isn't the greatest thing to use possibly. I use this to keep up with live sound settings in church. I tried it in the burb. I used decent volume to test this with pink noise. I set the volume to 20 out of 32. The yellow is before and red is after. The first one is no eq settings yet. The second is afterwards and boy did it make a huge difference wow. The third one shows the bass responce which to me is pretty smooth. It rolls off at 33hz but I think it will do better if I play music with lower than 34. My bass mechanic from the 80's only goes to 35 with test tones. I need to double check my filters on the amps also. Any tips would be greatly appreciated. This is all new to me tuning this way. I can say you can in person hear the full orchestra and even the taps of the conductors stick. Cowboy Escort GrAnny ThUmper The Burp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you. I showed my wife the system at night. She said she will not get in it at all now. All because of how it looks with the blue lights lol. I don't feel so bad now. I felt the same way. Then again I've not sat right in front of them either. I might just have to now lol. I think this was the boys first time ever hearing a bass system also. Thank you again. Means a lot to me.

I had a terrible time with my Tahoe's transmission and rear end. Finally I had to sell it because it was costing so much. 99 Tahoe police edition. I miss that truck though. 2011 Chevy Silverado under construction My build log here. Check it out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet yours will turn out fine. When I have to move everything. I'm gonna try to leave the wiring as is. Just redo it from the relays and blocks to the new spot wherever that will be for the amps. That sucks to hear. I'm finding out that these seem to have issues with the trans a lot. Not something I want to think about. I don't want to get rid of it. It is paid for lol Cowboy Escort GrAnny ThUmper The Burp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to keep telling myself to keep going slow and paying attention to details.... though o really wish I could move a little quicker 🤣 I had my transmission in my old Tahoe rebuilt, then 2 years, it went out again, replaced it. Not even a year, the rear end started giving me problems. I had just started a new job, so I couldn't keep dealing with the uncertainty of an older vehicle, so I had to go get a new truck. Different circumstances, I would have kept and fixed the Tahoe. I really loved that thing. Now, my wife is trying to talk me into a Silverado Z-71 Trail Boss, and getting rid of my truck....I said "why? I'm going to buy the new truck and I'm still putting a huge hole in it!" 🤣 2011 Chevy Silverado under construction My build log here. Check it out!
