bigredishott Posted October 31, 2009 Report Share Posted October 31, 2009 (edited) Well, I went to make some adjustments to my system today, when I was taking the amp covers off I noticed the surrond was rubbing against a zip tie. I am glad I caught it before it wore all the way through! Anyways, it's a lil thin there, was wondering if there is something I can put on the thin spots to fix it up? Any sudgestings welcome, and thanks in advance. A Spacer I found in basement to give my subs an extra inch of space. (ghetti I know but, effective) A pic of set up! And Yes I know I still have a cap in there.

Nightshade Posted October 31, 2009 Report Share Posted October 31, 2009 Damn man all the amps and stuff in front of your subs is no doubt hurting your output. If I were you I'd move all that shit to the trunk and be preparred for it to be louder. It may not be very audible by the ear but I guarantee that you'll gain spl on the term lab if you do so. That may not be your thing either, but I would give it a shot even if your remotely interested in a score.

Anyways, I have it set up like this, so I can still use the rest of the trunk worry free. I am sure groceries and stuff will not damage the back of the box. lol I norm prefer the subs facing the rear but, I have to make things practical. Shortly I will be taking that box out and putting a small one in that holds 1 sub. (for x-mas shopping need the room) Quote Alpine CDA-9847 HU F Highs 2x Infinity Kappa 60.9CS Powered by Eclipse EA4200 Glass door panels R Highs Infinity Ref. 9622i powered by HU 3x RF Punch HX2 RFD2210 Powered by MTX Thunder 81000D Box Vol. 3.259 before displacement, Tuned 36.6, Port area 54" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigredishott Posted October 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2009 you cant blow a woofer from a simple zip tie hitting the surround. if it was inside the motor thats a different story I know but putting a hole in the surrond is bad too. IMO An old buddy of mine let hig girl use his whip, She threw some laundy in the back and was bumping with the clothes up against the subs. It caused the coils to rub and blew them. Probly from the extra heat from the friction. But, they were bad ass subs some old GZs from like 10 years ago. Damn I miss those subs, was not worth the lappy he traded me for them.

Nirvalica Posted October 31, 2009 Report Share Posted October 31, 2009 I bought my type r used from a local shop and it had nearly identical rub mark on the surround. Only one tho, but in nearly the same place. The guy I bought it from said it'll work fine, there shouldn't be any problem with it. I used it for over a year like that, and there wasn't any thing wrong with it. I wouldn't worry bout it. Quote My Youtube Page.

I was just thinking its a weak spot bout for failure. I will just keep my eye on it for a while.
