  1. hey ramen......invision if you will, frankie rio's sun roof.......yup!

    LOL

    I have a nice 4 pack of ratchet straps ready for when I do bassrace. Hopefully wrapping them through the door opening and over the roof will keep the sunroof somewhat at bay.


  2. System Specs...

    Amplifiers

    (4) Diablo Audio Technologies 2500.1s

    (1-2)Diablo Audio Technologies 4125

    Subwoofers

    (4) SSA Xcons

    Mids/Highs

    Undecided, but most likely AA carbon fiber mids

    Electrical

    (4) Stinger SPV70s in rear

    (1) Optima Red Top in front

    (1) Iraggi 200A alt, soon to be a 300A DC Power Alt.

    Big 3 in 1/0

    3 runs of positive to the rear

    All wire is TryStar Cable 1/0

    Suspension

    Function & Form Type 2 coilovers to help support the weight

    24mm Rear Sway bar upgraded from stock 14mm to help with body roll

    Moog end links to support the upgraded sway bar

    Front Strut Bar

    Misc

    All wood will be Birch

    Second Skin Damplifier Pro Sound deadening to replace areas that have been covered by FatCrap, I mean FatMat

    Clarion DXZ785USB

    Clarion EQS746

    Maxxsonics Maxxlink

    Knukonceptz 8 gauge speaker wire

    Knukonceptz Krystal Kable RCAs

    Before the wall itself begins, I will need to put in the coilovers in because my rear strut towers are located behind the desired wall location. If I were to wall it off before installing the coilovers, the only alternative would be to remove the rear windshield and go about it that way.

    This is the current progress so far until the coilovers arrive.

    Thanks guys, It will be a slow ongoing process, but ill be taking my time and not cutting any corners to make a nice end result.

    Also need to thank my Sponsors, **** and SSA. Without you guys, this build wouldnt be possible. Bill, David, Melissa, Mark and Aaron, everything is much appreciated.


  3. For all of the disbelievers, Keep on hating.

    I have personally seem this car do this. Not quite a 151. But it was around 150.5 or so when I last saw her. It was at a US Audio event.

    We were standing right there when he did it. Crazy score man, and props to you for achieving this! Will you be at the US Audio 2x Event coming this Saturday? (April 18)

    Thanks brotha! No sadly I won't be there only because I'm Judging a 1xTNESPL/ 1x DbDrag sponsored by SUNY Morrisville College the same day. Always looking to further our sport/obsession. :fing34:

  5. Nice choice on woofer's :)

    I think the inferno would be perfect for all 4.

    2000rms a peice should be good if you know what your'e doing.

    Yes! Im really loving these woofers at the moment. They are pretty much exactly what I have been looking for.

    And 2000 Rms should be fine. And guys, please understand this, I will not be throwing all of this abuse on a daily level. Im not gonna be slamming around 24/7 at around 2000-2500 rms a pop. That is mainly for Demo purposes, and competitions.


  6. How'd you get sponsored if your not really worried about the SPL?

    Being sponsored isnt all about SPL. There are other factors into gaining a sponsorship. Showing what a product is capable of in other ways will get you there. Positive reinforcement and knowledge of a product, along with getting the name out there and enthusiasm towards showing what you can do for your sponsor plays a huge role. I compete in BassRace and dBdrag, but dont really focus on dBdrag, more of a bassracer.


  7. Well this summer I am planning on walling off my 2000 accord coupe. Im already sponsored by Diablo Audio Technologies so I will be running their amplifiers. (most likely the 2500.1s)

    I have been doing a lot of searching for woofers and came across these and something about them is just screaming my name. I was originally going to go with 4 15" Havocs since they get piss loud and sound good doing it, but didnt really have the power handling I was looking for.

    The XCONs seem to be the one. I was originally going to tune the Havocs to 30hz because they love the lows, and apparently the XCONs love the same tuning as well. I want a loud daily driver that will deliver on the low end. Im not really worried about the SPL score as long as these will do some damage on the low end.

    My main question about them is, How many amps should I run to them. I am torn between 2 **** 2500.1s, one to each pair, or 4 2500.1s one on each one brutalizing the chit out of them. Now these amps will do around 3400 rms a pop on full tilt. It would take full tilt out of one to power a pair to their RMS potential, which wouldnt be the best for the amp or the subs, which is why I was thinking 4 2500.1s would be best and just send a nice clean 2500 rms to each one.

    Last suggestion would be DATs Inferno 8.1 amp, It does an underrated 8000RMS, but is still in the testing phase whether or not it will be alright for Daily use.

    So guys, Please give me some info on what you all think. And lastly, what size total box would you suggest for all of them? Never messed with SSA subs before, but I heard they would probably like 3.5 cubes a pop which is a little more then the ICONs.


  8. For bigger orders I do believe you can actually, granted it is the right size. And I meant you can order them through the dealers that carry AA. I didnt mean call them up and order 1 or 2 subs.


  9. Yes they are technically different companies but owned and operated by the same guys. Fi is more towards customization of speakers and AA is geared more towards dealers who cant customize woofers.

    And you can order directly from AA as well.


  10. kind of disapointed its a aa not an fi. someone around me needs to start carrying aa.

    What does it matter. Fi doesnt have dealers either. AA and Fi are both owned by Scott and both run by him.

    Where do you live at? I know of a dealer in the mid east coast. And Steve himself will be selling them so you will be able to contact him for purchasing as well.
