NEM's Evilinator!!

Nice Neal, tell us about the speaker swap? 

[nem 2,019]

It was a direct swap out, the only thing that changed were the mids. At first the evils did not sound as good as the carbons, but keep in mind the carbons have about 4 years of play time so they were in their sweet point. The more play time I got on the evils the better they started to sound. With that being said, I recently swapped the carbons back in and could not really tell the difference with my ear. Is one better than the other? I would say they are on a level playing field in the proper install. 

As you can tell my doors are pretty well dampened and sound dead so if there was a significant sound difference I would have noticed it right away.  Also keep in mind the SSA amp was used for this test because I wanted to see if I could hear a difference using this amp.

I am currently beating the evil mids pretty damn hard and loving them as much as I did the carbons.

I recently came across a steal of a deal for an SSA ICON 12. So I had some free time today and put some goodies in. I just put this in for now as it will change as I get more time. Here is what my current mess looks like.

The $150 ICON powered by the SSA mono block.

As the Icon is my fav, I prefer not to push past.  Haha.

It hits very hard. Surprised a couple people for a single 12.

Nice setup, Neal. I have those exact rca's

Nice Setup.

Finally got around to trying ceramic on the 4runner. Lots of work, but well worth it. Still have the winter sneakers on her.

That's A clean 4Runner Sir. Looks like you need to finish out the Window Tinting.

Thanks, that is factory tint.

Since my ceramic results were awesome, I figured I would do the wheels and tire sidwalls. For the are and marks in the wheels I think they turned out good. Now I just need to put them on.

 

[nigel 148]

Nice and shiny.  I'd say they turned out great.

[ManzKea 152]

Ceramic on wheels eh... I never thought of that. 

[ManzKea 152]

I’m assuming it would affect applying tire dressing 

[nem 2,019]

Thanks guys.

Another member on here had his entire car done, wheels included.His car turned out amazing. That is where I got the idea.

The ceramic acts as a clear coat so tire dressing may slide off.

Mine are dirty as hell compared to that right now.  Still 1.5' of snow in my yard though.  Looks great.
