  1. Well...I have an Optima Red Top under my hood and it withstood the hottest summer in Central Texas history without any issues whatsoever (and it was being beat on by my system as well).

    As a side note, the shit was crazy. It was 101+ on a regular basis. I would get into my car and the thermometer would read 117 in the car and at one point the trim on the side of my doors actually MELTED off...My car was parked outside (in the blistering sun) at all times and really...this is the first time I've ever considered that the battery might have been in trouble lol. That's how well it did.


  2. Here's my 18" Zcon compared to a 15" Audioque HDC3

    IDK if you can tell but the HDC motor IS a little wider with a bit more ferrite but has much less steel and is about 20lb lighter. Both are monster subs though.


  3. Alrighty...I think I've got enough goodies to show off now. It's not at all close to being finished though but it is what it is. With that said, here we go! angry2.gif

    Head Unit - Kenwood KDC-X794 (May end up being a Pioneer DEH-80PRS)

    Mids & Highs Amps - 2x Precision Power Black Ice BK800.4

    Mono Amp - Crescendo Audio BC2000D

    Front Stage - Undecided (Currently Phoenix Gold RSD65cs but will be replaced)

    Rear Fill - 2x Pioneer TS-A1604C

    Subwoofer - Sound Solutions Audio ZCON 18D2

    Wiring - About $300 worth of Knu CCA and accessories

    Electrical - Stock alt but will have a couple of batts to support the 2K.

    ON TO THE PICTURES!

  4. Before I recommend this build to someone, I want to be sure it would sound ok. I have an associate that has a late 70s Vette. Baddass little car. The previous owner installed a flip screen Pioneer deck, and updated the speakers. He says it sounds ok, and gets loud but lacks the lower end like most installs that don't include subwoofers. What he wants is just to include the low end that the upgraded speakers lack, while retaining as much room as possible due to the tiny cabin this car has.

    My initial recommendation would be to go with the Sundown E10D4 in a sealed enclosure being powered by the Alpine MRP-M500. My enclosure would be a simple cube with internal volume measuring .52 cubic feet including speaker displacement.

    Does my assessment of his situation match my suggested application of equipment? (Do you think this will meet his expectations?)

    Is there any issue with running the E10 in a sealed enclosure, like the non-recommendation of the SA-8 in a sealed enclosure?

    It depends on what his expectations are. I installed a cheap system for a family member and it sounded fine but wasn't enough for me. I kept trying to find ways to make it louder lol.

    I know a sealed 10" wouldn't satisfy me, but how much would it take to satisfy him?


  5. Box turned out pretty darn nice! Where are the subs and other equipment? There is a local CRV lowered on some rims and some other goodies, looks really clean.

    Thanks, much appreciated. I have 1 of the sundown Sa-15's and i have my amp but I'm struggling to get the money together for another 15. I have to sell my old re sxx 15 first

    What condition is the sub in and how much do you want for it?


  6. He means the 9887. When I recommended him some headunits I typed incorrectly. I sent 9886 instead of 9887. So yes he would be looking for a Pioneer PRS or Alpine 9887.

    In the classifieds section!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    lol


  7. why did the prices on the crescendo amps jump up so much?

    Ha it's still cheap as hell man. It only went up 30 bucks or so.

    This...find me a 2k for anything near that price that isn't sketchy....


  8. I have an 880, but am confused at why a 9886 or a PRS. Two completely different capability sets.

    2 way active is probably his main focus. I don't think he's looking for all out SQ capability.


  9. Custom designs are included with the pricing. We prefer to use our own designs as we do not design the same way others do, but we will work with outside designs as well if that is required.

    Okey dokey, just wondering. I'll need something huge with a plexi window in a few weeks.

    Unfortunately the vehicle needs some TLC so that comes first.


  10. Well... Guess I'll just replace that section with new wire/holder and fuse checking all my connections.

    Could this be a problem with just the knu wire cause of its soft flexible jacket or could this happen with any wire?

    Not sure about that, but I have the KCA 4 gauge and I've seriously run it past it's limits and it's never melted. I smoked an 80amp fuse + fuse holder (MAXI fuses) and got a Mini ANL fuse holder and smoked three 120 amp fuses. After that I just ran a straight run of wire for about 3 months (dangerous I know) and the wire held up just fine. It was running an 1800w mono and a 100x4.

    What all that means is that I don't think it's the wire. But like Alton said if you have a bad connection heat will build up in that spot and after time do some damage. is it the type of fuse holder where you just hold the wire in with a set screw? If so try one that uses ring terminals on both sides and see what happens then.


  11. Amplifiers are in the cards. Just to do it right, the way we want to do it, takes time and a massive amount of money. Would be no point in bringing out a me2 line of amplifiers. We want to keep our products a little apart from most others.

    LOL @ me2 amps.

    This whole Korean 2k, 3.5k, 5k is getting dumb. Every time someone introduces a new amp line it's like the only reason to buy it is because it has your favorite brand name on it. I can't even understand how it makes sense business-wise to enter a FLOODED market with an EQUAL product rather than a superior one.

    And this isn't a shot at any particular brand. Just my own personal observation.
