One of my side projects (car audio)

[sLoWnStEaDy]

Well, dropped all the engine goodies off at Horn and I am waiting for some specialty tools to come in as well as some other misc. stuff for the Mach One so I have decided to do yet another little side project. THIS one is... yet again, redoing the system in the Cadillac. Should be the final time I do this I hope! I am still waiting for my rear airbags to come in as the system (sub, box, amp, batteries) weighs in at about 400lbs so...

the new sub sitting on a table. (yes, there is a table under it)

a good 4ft from our t.v. and it's messing the thing up still. "I see you checkin' out me DAEWOO!"

Oh yeah... the box will be 7ft^3 net (building it IN the trunk) and will be externally ported through the rear deck and have interchangeable ports. 30hz-32hz tuning for daily driving and 40hz-42hz for comps, I will be running 2.5Kw rms daily and 4Kw+ at comps.

This particular amp tested right around 5350 rms @ 1.15ohm on 14.4V (4200 @ 12v), the sub is a "D2" but the coils are reading 1.7ohm each so we'll see where I end up once it is in...

jesus that is going to slam! FI makes some serious shit..

[sLoWnStEaDy]

should get down pretty damn nicely!

Also, if you didn't notice. I left that Cadillac in the picture over by 15th st. SE and someone snatched the rims! :) so if you see someone rollin on some nice new .22"s let me know!

[Drifte]

I've heard of coils lowering after some solid use. What's your cars resonance fz? Oh and what about caddy 22's stolen?

[Ricky]

the caddy part was about the little toy car in the photos i think.

I would find a way to support that basket.

The 18" 12-spokes from Fi are prone to breakage.

[sLoWnStEaDy]

the cadillac rims thing was a joke about the toy car. .22"

my last setup peaked at like 44hz IIRC...

don't need to support the basket, I need to support the motor! However I have never once heard of these breaking and I know 50+ people who have run them for years... the cast 6-spoke baskets I know first hand are a little more likely to break.
