Naw man the last time was due to clipping not over-powering them with good clean power

It has to be able to take more bro... the Q's were considerably louder off the AQ! It's barely moving the Shade

lol this is just for a day or two I'm going to sell my AQ2200D and take a lil while to plan out a good setup for this beast

LOL so I am now the proud new owner of a fresh 18" Nightshade thanks Jon! And Steve for the recone Got her hooked up temporarily to my AQ2200D she's laughing at the power right now... but I figure it will be good to break it in with. Will post pictures of the ghetto setup later

Thanks bro! Shade is one thing I lack lol unless it's after 5pm I can use the apartment building as shade

lol!!! It's a Japanese beer I still stay exotic Except during the week it's puro Bud Light An interesting man with an interesting budget lol Honestly I would have to measure again but with the 15's, I barely had enough room to mount the subs front-ways like that But that box is 7 cubes after displacement I would probably go with about 4 this time

Qs are sold!!!!!! lol beat me to it thanks Steve. Dang all this peer pressure it's like I'm trying to quit smoking for a while and you guys are waving cigs in my face... lol jk I still don't know how I'm going to integrate an 18" woofer into a car trunk. I would have to build a sub top, port front box or something like that right?

I'm driving up to San Marcos here in a bit to scope out that Nightshade... Anybody be interested in the motor/baskets from the Q's? Nothing wrong with them, recone kits are $90 from Fi.

holy crap lol! Thanks for the advice Shizzon it is always welcome... but like I said... my purpose is not to undermine the quality of these subs or to push blame on anybody else but myself... Nick you guys do excellent work up there. I recently installed a new head unit and that night I was playing them particularly hard they were only on that new HU for about a week, I realize I should've re-adjusted the gains just like you would re-balance/re-align your suspension with a new set of tires, I got a little trigger happy. I can assure you no bass boost was involved in this but Crown Royal was The HU is new but it is a cheaper brand so in the future I will definitely monitor it more closely, I have a feeling that it was putting out a distorted signal directly from the HU and I have it run through an active crossover so that most likely magnified the problem... C'est la vie!

Just out of curiosity what are the recommended enclosure dimensions on that shmoofer? Thanks

Yeah they were... but it's just the bass gods' way of telling me I need to go louder. lol! Sounds good and all that man but that would defeat the purpose of me getting any kind of trunk space back... plus 18's aren't really made for trunks anyhow... thanks tho!

Its only 5% stronger That 5% makes a big difference lol

ZOMG this shit is strong but tastes excellent. Pretty good with the cherry RC

lol that lady goes "Dayum!"

lol

lol @ redcoats

Yeah well the one that looks like lumpy porridge was on the same side as the pothole I hit about a month ago, and the other one I can't really explain what happened or what caused it to get like that, I still need to get the alignment done I think that might've caused excessive wear on one side of the tire

Stopped by Specs yesterday for a six pack of Red Stripe and a bottle of Crown Black now all I need is some mixers

Looks awesome going to have to try that. Seems like it might be good with some Vanilla or Cherry Coke... mmmmmm

I remember when that storm came through it raged pretty hard but kept moving, lightning was striking pretty damn close to my home. It kept moving NE and sorta settled in over New Braunfels, that pic of the Rockin R buses literally made my jaw drop
