No, its 9 12's. The mirrors are giving an illusion. Funny thing is, originally it was supposed to be 12 on 4 HK4000D's but they couldn't get the other 3 to fit w/ the proper air room. LOL. In these pics, each 3 are ran at 2.64ohm. Never got hot... And yes, I'm positive their HardKore's. Model# HK120XC.

And yeah those are hardcores sorry about that but i mever seen them like that they almost look like an MA audio XL series. The ones I have are completly different they have a blue and black woven cone and the basket and moter are different to!!

Not that I didn't like my MA stuff, it was just too much going on. So, I decided to get a lower number of amps that do closer to rated power. Then I decided to do square subs for the added cone area. Started to do BRUTUS squares to match the HiFonics amps but heard compliants about the BRUTUS' tearing in the corners. So, I went w/ KICKER. Then my boy talked me into tryin some Seleniums & Daytons for mids & highs. Before you knew it, I was redoing the whole system just about.

LOL I'm soon getting rid of my MA's soon to getting two DD 9515's but I know what you saying about your voltage mine drops to the single digets as well! I just ordered a MACHMAN 250A rino with in cab adjustable regulator today and waiting on battery to arrive soon also (thanks BSLAP)! Talk to MECHMAN see what he can do alt wise and if he can do the 300a go for it and find some one to make you a tension pully to give your belt more surface around your alt> Just my opinion Quote Under construction soon to be: 2 DD Z9518's 8 lunar L1500's (500rms each) Secondskin Dampner pro 250a Mechman rhino alt 4 runs of 2/0 (installed) 4 batteries (installed) 6-5 1/4's, 2-6 1/2's, 2-4in all ma audio (installed) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
