    Pontiac G6 with 2 Ethos 18's

    PAC manufactures harnesses to retain as many of them as possible including door chimes, steer wheel modules, exc.

    (SOLD)(2) SSA Xcon 10's Dual 1 ohm

    Trade for a freshly reconed Zcon 12 and a PSI platform 3 motor?

    Did you look into the PAC wiring harness for an aftermarket head unit?
  4. Looking for another Re XXX v3 motor. Year is 04 and 05. Its the motor with the large chrome top plate. Let me know if you have a motor or woofer and a price. Looking to run 2 of these as 10s

    Looking for a monster sub

    I have a PF3 motor if you want to go this route.
  6. This shit is nuts bro. nice build!
  7. Have an opportunity to purchase a 250A Ohio Gen alt to temporarily bandage my voltage. Has anyone ever used their alts? I heard they put out straight poop @ idle so that is why I am worried. My car idles at a very low RPM: 2004 Pontiac Grand Prix
  8. So I was coming home from work yesterday and I was bumping at a decent volume. I started to smell something burning, but it wasn't coil. I took a reading of the coils from the amp today and wasn't getting the correct nominal. Took the sub out and read the coils from terminals. One coil wasn't reading out at all, and the other was reading like 12. Took the coil out and this is what I found: Recone was done in November or so. This sucks.. =[

    Leads burned up; wtf?!

    I'm basically asking if an external subsonic, HP filter, or crossover pre-amp would be a good solution to better signal output.

    10 in sub

    yes why?
  11. you have very nice equip in your build btw. I respek dem.
  12. made me feel a lot better too
  13. I burned up the leads on my zcon as well. All people claim its "clipping" 98 Honda Broke it down to this: It has nothing to do with clipping. "It has nothing to do with filtering either, the inductance of the voice coil prevents the higher frequencies from ever causing enough current flow to actually heat the leads. Don't believe me? Calculate the current flow through a 3-4 mh inductor (the voice coil) at the switching frequency of the amp at the maximum rail voltage... It is no more than a few watts, that doesn't heat up crap... (an amp that switches at 250K will see a load of 4.7Kohms into a 3mh voice coil at that frequency, this will equal 2 watts if the amplifier put that out at 100 VAC..., harmonics will be even lower) Hopefully this put the whole "microwave the leads" myth to rest... It has to do with the lead in your case having a failure in one place and the current is forced to flow through less effective cross-sectional area of conductor, increasing heat. As heat increases voltage drop and heat increases. It just keeps getting worse. You have a 3Kw amp, that is what burned up the leads..."
  14. it seems like back in the day the problem with leads was them snapping because of excursion. Now a days they are burning up because they are sandwiched or sewn. I think it had something to do with the materials it is connected to, and the amount of glue used to secure them in place.

    so what addition to UF class D signals can be added to ensure the voice coil is utilized in the circuit?
  16. good thing they make recones

    could you elaborate a bit on that?

    Thank you. We'll recone her and put more effort into learning about why this happened and how I can prevent it next time.

    My amp only has an input sensitivity of 2.5v. The headunit is 4.8v preouts. I used a vol adjust option on my JVC headunit to +1 position. Amp never got hot, sub never got hot, just poof.

    Thanks, I feel much better =]

    I never posted a comparison to the coil in the woofer you sold me Bassink but since you asked for it here it is:

    This recone didn't have a sewn "pouch" made for the leads like the other I had.

    Leads burned up; wtf?!

    And this help furthers my statement......start dropping volts and start sending more dirty power to your subs....and poof I never dropped below 13.5. But that's from my rear batteries. I think using the Vol adjust on my head unit may have had something to do with it.

    I wish it would have been and I would have assumed responsibility. Fact is you are a bad seller and you ripped me off. Why would you even post here.
