carpet came in. i bought some nice ass carpet. $11.50 a yard, but its 80" wide so win win its flexible, backless, fully breathable, and soft

how does it sound.. the sub

[Megalomaniac 0]

sounds great. warm and rich of smoothness. there is no overwhelming bass at all its all tasteful enough to listen to at ease. It still bumps when I want it too

BIG THANKS to: REQ(for on demand tech support), ~Magick_Man~, James Bang(for brainstorming ideas), Jntar(for his SQ taste in sub choice), & Lilmaniac(for help with tool selection purchasing)

damn that looks good, how does the carpet muffle the bass?? not at all or a little?? i might try something like that in the future

[Megalomaniac 0]

muffle? idk. its breathable, bass travels so i dont think its an issue. i could be wrong. I cant tell the difference with the beauty panel on or off.

Looks great. Good job man.

Great install and great gear. And unlike the first responder I'd like to know how you like the rest of the system

[Megalomaniac 0]

I love the Hertz comps, i love em even more when I went active a few weeks ago when I bought the cd7k. There is soo much too play with. I could spend hours just tuning and it just gets better and better. i dont even need the epicenter anymore, my frontstage is pretty strong IMO. deadening helped the most as every should know.

[Mark LaFountain 1,054]

great looking, great wiring as well. Love the trunk space idea. Great job.

[Megalomaniac 0]

Thanks, whats funny is the wiring felt like it took the longest. I wanted make sure I could make the wiring look nice and avoid using too much or not enough. I am officially ADDICTED to Techflex. I will never do an install without it from now on along with never using mdf.

btw i hate KNU equipment. I honestly regret ever buying KNU stuff. Their compression distros were a big pain in the ass, their rcas arent really shielded because the shield isnt grounded on both ends at all(its all looks), and their speakerwire was PIA too to use(its big, bulky, and a bitch to trim right...that twisted karma)

Far freking out Bro... Very Impressive build

the dustcap was making noises from being caved in a few weeks ago, i popped it out, but that spot was weak and making noises. so today i swapped the cap with an alloy one.

notice the creases

now i just got to clean up the alloy and im set

i used urethane(i let it sit for 4 hours) and ca glue around the edge to seal it down nicely. hopefully it turns out fine.

[Megalomaniac 0]

well it turns out it is still making noises. and i know that the problems is. its those damn VC plugs that only 3 companies i know use :/

I dont think i can rip this cap off easily without tearing up the cone. i may have to invest in a recone

[BKOLFO4 29]

Looks great man!!!

[Lord Baccus 1]

Dam Bro sorry for your loss

[Megalomaniac 0]

not totally!

well i just pryed that bish off and it took SOME skin but its off, i glued anotherone on, BIG THANKS FOR FOREVERBUMPN FOR GIVING ME AN EXTRA ONE THAT I DIDNT EVEN ASK FOR.

as you can see the urathane didnt do chit it was the strong ca glue that ripped the cone :/

new one on but not so pretty as before

hopefully no buzz this time

ballin accord.

[emperorjj1 2]

just wondering why no mdf? why the hate?

[Dave Brooks 0]

Megalo that is about the cleanest looking trunk install I've seen in a long time. My compliments on a well thought out setup. You'd never know it was there!

Great job Bro, is the sub still alive after all that glue-lovin'?
