The PT Bruiser, 159.5db!!

Recommended Posts

Something is broken inside of the passenger door..if the window is down it can flop around and hit something and shatter it :)

Pop the door panel off and start wiggling the regulator and the tracks..odds are you've broken/moved something

158's with amp protecting at around 6,700 watts. Got a lot more in it, just got to figure it out.

It'll sound a lot better once some SSA subs go back in it. ;)

Well, the M4a is now gone. I'm going to miss it but it went to a forum local and a good friend.

I now have two RD Audio D9's wired to .5ohm each. So far it is musically MUCH louder since the amps aren't turning off. My M4a would turn off since it was wired to .25ohm and my impedance rise wasn't very high. If it had been just a little higher it would be been BADASS.

Going to meter it today after work.

I ended up stacking the D9's ontop each other. Worked out great!

All XS Flex and Knu Konceptz wire. Came out pretty good. 20121107_233215.jpg

I still have the PAC fan to keep the amps cool, helps a lot with the heat here. lol

Well I blew up a sub for the first time in probably 2 years or more, lol.

But I have learned a few wiring secrets as a result which could possibly lead me to a gain to as much as a full db on the meter and be able to play music longer.

Ill post details A.S.A.P. along with new pictures.

Yes I am. Lol

I've gotten really busy at the Audio shop I work at. So haven't been on much, trying go get on more and more. :-)

I've got a whole vehicle build coming soon, my fully loaded 1997 Nissan Hardbody single cab. Getting the full SQ treatment. Top to bottom, going to be great.

Very cool man! I'm glad to hear that you are busy working, and putting your skills to use.

Use rubber gloves ;)

I'm curious to see how it goes with the wiring change helps. Should be interesting.

Well as it sits my subs were wired in series at the sub, then parallel at the amps which were strapped together. Putting each amp at .5ohm

Apparently, if I wire the subs to be parallel at the sub then wire each sub to it's own amp with each amp still at .5ohm. It will increase coil efficiency.

When wired in series you get double the amperage but half the voltage. Causing heat to build up and efficiency to be lost.

In parallel it does the opposite, you get half the amperage but double the voltage. So you still get the same amount of power, it' s just with a higher voltage causing less heat build up and higher efficiency.

Which is where the gain comes from

Which makes sense, when I was at .25ohm on the M4a, I could play music all day. And subs never got to hot. they were in parallel.

Now with the D9's at .5ohm, I get about 2-3 minutes and they hot as hell. Even at the same volume as before, And are in series.

This is how they were wired before, strapped together each amp seeing .5ohm.

This is how they are now, separate from each other, still seeing .5ohm.

Makes sense. Hope it works out for you.

I won a set of Morel Components in a Facebook contest! I can't wait to get them in to replace the Type X mids and stock PT tweets still in the dash.

They should go well with the PRS and C5b. :)

That is a nice set but I honestly like my Alpine mids better than that particular Morel mid.
