basshead4life Posted July 3, 2009 Report Posted July 3, 2009 dude that doesnt look like an RE XXX. this is an re xxx 18 Quote Team S.M.D. Maritime Car Audio- (2) 18" SSA ZCON D1 - American Bass 500.1 - 60 ft of 3/0 -480 Ah of battery - (2) stock alternators (70 +90) - Kenwood Excelon x-794, 4v preouts car audio is just a LOT more complicated than "this amp does this power" or "this sub will be this loud". its like 2 + 2 = banana. (if that confuses you then you get the point) lol

JMy CardomainFINISHED COBALT SS/SC DUAL ALTERNATOR PICS theres no such thing as too expensive when it comes to upgrades like that, because imo if you are gonna spend to upgrade then do it correctly rather then be a cheap ass ricer
emperorjj1 Posted July 3, 2009 Report Posted July 3, 2009 (edited) possibly older ones... remember the newest XXX is V4 mine are V3 so there's a possibility its a reconed V2 or V1 Edited July 3, 2009 by emperorjj1 Quote J.

Explosivesound Posted July 3, 2009 Author Report Posted July 3, 2009 You know what, that shop didnt know what they were talking about. Ive figured out what this really is. Its a basket and motor from the Atomic APXX 18 with a recone apperantly from RE (at least the dust cap.) I think Im actually happy finding out its an APXX. Ill have it reconed correctly from Atomic after I mess around with it! Quote
Forevrbumpn Posted July 3, 2009 Report Posted July 3, 2009 So, you spent $520 on it, when Iam sure its perfectly fine, and then thinking of getting it reconed again for what, another $150? not to mention all the shipping charges, etc? As long as it was reconed by someone who knows what they are doing, it should be a well made speaker honestly, it looks well assembled, and the spiders look like the 05' XXX18 ( I know I have done a few 05' XXX 18s) Quote I have a ritual called "terminator". I crouch in the shower in the "naked terminator" pose. With eyes closed I crouch for a minute and visualize either Arnie or the guy from the 2nd movie. I then start to hum the T2 theme. Slowly I rise to a standing position and open my eyes. It helps me get through my day. The only problem is if the shower curtain sticks to my terminator leg. It sorta ruins the fantasy.
Explosivesound Posted July 3, 2009 Author Report Posted July 3, 2009 maybe its a good mix then?! Should I use RE's power reccommendations then? The only thing I dont like is the tinsel leads arent woven in like atomics. Quote
Forevrbumpn Posted July 3, 2009 Report Posted July 3, 2009 (edited) yeah I noticed how sloppy the leads are after I posted that comment.. lol they look like they are done wrong, also don't even see the felt pads that RE uses on those style leads I still say just run it until it breaks, or blows Edited July 3, 2009 by Forevrbumpn Quote I have a ritual called "terminator".
