Yes, it is very annoying. I'll stick with Stone22 skin.

I love the idea. It would give you equipment to test your amps against, too. What about an upgrade program, as well. I trade in my 125.2 for a 100.4 or something. You could refurb it, and warranty it, too. Mo money, mo money, mo money!

Well, I only want two amps total. You can see my current install here. Amp rack is double stacked. Ugh. So for trunk saving space, I want one sub and a smaller enclosure than what I already have. 400w is plenty of power for a IDQ12, but I'm sure it'll sound better with 600w. Actually, I'd rather only have one amp. But I don't know much about the 5 channels. How's the Helix Deep Blue? Or the Audison VRX6 Direct 2?

I am thinking of dropping my two 8W7's for one IDQ12. If it's a 2ohm sub, can I use one of my 125.2 to power it? How would it hold up (and how much power) bridged at 2 ohm?

Well, in the next month or so I'm going to pick up a Image Dynamics IDQ 12". The real question is should I get a D2 and run it at 4 ohm with a 125.2 ... or... get a D4 and run it at 2 ohm, then pick up a 1200D. Hmmm... then I'd have to give away two practically new 125.2 amps! What a waste.

6 ft and 260 lbs... and wear a large? I'm 5'11" at 200 lbs and am usually a L, sometimes a XL. Depends on the shirt. I'm hard to fit though.

My shirt came in... thanks! But uh... they run just a little small. But that's the way the hot mamacitas like to see me.

This needs to be added to the website. When I look at subs, I'm looking for its main intent. Volume or quality. Ideal enclosure type and size. And finally power. Also, how much do these weigh? I can't find weight specs on the site.

So after I was quoted two days to get get it done... and them taking three days... I finally got my car back. Only having the car a couple hours, so far these JL Audio 8W7's are fantastic! Very solid and far louder than I expected. From Kid Rock to Jay-Z, the subs great and clean. Very pleased! The best part is the Image Dynamics components. These get crazy loud and a simply amazing. Plenty of mid bass and the highs are crisp. I don't have enough time in the car with this system yet, but I'll work on adding different styles of music. Too early for a review. Here are the pics! Nevermind that one of the amps is crooked. I guess I should take it back to have it fixed, but I probably won't.

Is this over? Who won?

The only reason it could have taken three days is if they weren't working on it. And that pisses me off most. I spoke with the owner to schedule the right day. He said, yup, he could get right on it. I assumed that meant that he had an installer who could get started on it. It's a major lack of respect for the time of others. Well, I asked for the box to be sealed with fiberglass. Although I did not see the inside, I am confident that they did it. My car smells like fiberglass, a lot! I would expect this to be a full one-day install with the box and amp rack. Everything else is easy. I had no problems at all with two days, but three was too much.

The shop isn't worth mentioning. I told them I had all the equipment and cables. Hell, I even had the battery terminals, distribution block and USB extension cable. The install is a little sloppy. Amp is crooked, the cables are pulling on the center. When I took delivery of the car, the head unit was crooked, too. They fixed it today. I have a supercharged Mustang, so on the way home I got on it a little. When I got home I looked in the trunk and the speaker box slid to the back of the car. They didn't secure it down. I had to put velcro on the bottom of the box today. They also took my car out for a ride. I know because my front splitter (bottom of the front bumper) is scratched. They are a JL Audio and Alpine dealer, but not Image Dynamics or Sundown. They were pushing Diamond Audio comps/subs and JL amps.

Huh? You guys doing something nice on the forums?

Money sent for a large.

I dropped my car off today to have my two 8W7's installed. And I'm already thinking I should have went with the RL-i8. Just curious, what's your opinion of he 8W7 against the RL-i and your prototype?

Had a nice gift waiting for me when I got home today. Three Sundown SAX-125.2 amps! One will be powering a set of components, Image Dynamics CXS64. The other two will be dedicated to my subs, two JL Audio 8W7's. These amps look great! Here are some pics. Nice, huh?

You're welcome! Wait... I ain't done nuttin. Nevermind!

Yeah, my amps came with a bunch of foam circles. I was like, WTF?!

That's an odd shape. It doesn't look like it sits flush with the floor or the back of the rear seats. Why is that? For sure, two 8w7's will need a much smaller box. I'm curious how would you add three amps to the box with such a small enclosure. If I can get better details on how this works I'll buy one.

Hey BJ, I am in need of a box. I bought two JL Audio 8w7's to go into my 2006 Mustang. Not sure if I want sealed of ported... SQ is the only goal. Can you do amp racks? I will have three Sundown SAX-125.2 amps, two of which will power the subs. Everything needs to be carpeted, and ideally I'd like some easy and fast way to disconnect and carry these out of the trunk. Something like handles or something? What can you, or other forum members, suggest?

[quote name='bjfish11' date='Dec 1 2008, 07:32 PM' post='45177 We can come up with something for you. I believe we already have a design based on the trunk of a 06 Mustang to work off of. We can incorporate an amp rack into the enclosure without a problem. Overall, a box for a pair of 8's wont have much weight to it, so I doubt handles will really be necessary. Really? Would you have pictures of how that turned out? Here's the trick... I bowl so I carry bowling equipment in my trunk. A triple ball bag is typically laying down in there. So the box needs to be rather protected... I don't want anything to be able to get damaged. I'm ready to go! How does this work? Do you send some sketches so that I can see what it looks like?

Those look great! I'm starting to regret the two 8W7's sitting on my living room floor. But I'll just have to suck it up.

I got in for $25. Benefit raffles like this are always a good idea. Thank you for doing it.
