CJ18 Posted December 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2010 This is the CF vinyl I am using as well. The black is on the front of the box, the charcoal is on the sides and top, and the racy blue is what I have ordered for accent pieces.

Benji0687 Posted December 12, 2010 Report Share Posted December 12, 2010 The fuse block looks MUCH better now bro. That parallel configuration you had going before would have worked if you were trying to achieve a 1000a fuse or w/e they added up to. The new box looks good though, but the bolts/screws on the face kinda ruin the sleek look of the CF I think. Cant wait to see this build finished! And I forgot to mention before, its good to see you worked things out with the admins and you're back on the forum. Your builds are a great inspiration to myself and others too I'm sure.

hdorre Posted December 12, 2010 Report Share Posted December 12, 2010 Don't lie, you know that you'll be shooting for a 154, then a 155 in a few weeks lol. I have a question..did the SMDs or Lvl 5s audibly sound better/cleaner? Which brought out the lows better? I cant give you a dead honest opinion because I never got the 5s to full power. I did like the overall sound of the SMDs better though. The level 5 is just more of an SPL sub and is built towards that. I have heard the XLs and they are a much more musical sub. Its not really a fair comparison either because they are such different subs.I will post more on this topic if you remind me.I just got wifi hooked up in my shop and am posting as I work.

Here's your reminder =] Ok here is my opinion on the 2 subs. 1) It is not a fair to compare a 3" and 4" coil sub. The SMD will take way more power than I could give it all day long. I would be comfortable giving the SMD 8-10k daily in the right box. The level 5 I wouldnt feel comfortable going over 5k daily. Now burps that would be a whole different story that im not going into. 2) Musically I liked the SMD better. I felt like it played every note I threw at it and sounded good doing it. I felt like the Level 5 was geared more towards the SPL side of car audio where the SMD is a combination of both SPL and SQ. In the DC line the XL, I think sounds as good or better than the SMD.

hdorre Posted December 12, 2010 Report Share Posted December 12, 2010 Thanks a lot for that review. I like how you even threw the XL into the mix. I guess there isn't really a sub out like the SMD (a sub that takes a SHIT LOAD of power while sounding good). I wonder how the XL will play music on 16,000+ watts. I'm not too confident, but well see Quote On 5/8/2011 at 7:38 PM, Kranny said: On 5/8/2011 at 7:35 PM, 'Maxim' said: It hurts me inside when I read stuff like this and remember you're 15 LMFAO so true Mitsubishi 3000GT (Old Build) Headunit: Pioneer 80PRS Frontstage: (2) McLaren Audio MLT-2 Tweeters & (4) PRV Audio MR Series Neo 6.5" Mids Substage: 4 15" Hybrid Subs - Tantric Motors & Sundown Softies Amps: Banda 2.4D Amp (Tweets), American Bass VFL 350.4 (Mids), and (2) Ampere 3800s Electrical :Singer 260A Alt & JY Power Lithium 2005 Chevy Colorado Ext Cab Headunit: Pioneer 80PRS Frontstage: 4 PRV 700Ti Tweets & 6 10" Delta Mids on 3000wrms Substage: 6 Fi BTL 18s in a 4th Order Walkthrough on 3 Wolfram 4500s Electrical: Singer "390" and JY Power My Official Feedback Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
