Here is my 2000 camaro SS i bought a few weeks ago. not wasting any time making it better! Car has a ton of bolt on performance goodies as well as suspension goodies. T-tops 6-speed. Im sure gearheads worldwide are going to hate me for this but **** em! Its my car and i bought it to do exactly this. Im not going to lead on too much about all the equipment im using for this build. All im really going to say is the ZCONS are on the way!!!! Its going to be hell fitting 18+cubes, batteries, and amps but im up to the challenge. Here is a few teaser shots untill real progress is made. My buddie Chris helping me out before the last USAC show. getting it all cleaned out!! On with the box build. Im shooting for 18 cubes. Thats all i got for today. hope to make more progress this weekend

IM just making one thread for all my videos. My goal for this car was to do 153s on a tone and 150s on music. well the zcons are much better than i expected to its time to revise the goal. New goal is 153s on music and to burp a 155. ** May be time to raise the bar again** So far. 156.8 so far. 155.3 on music (Lil jon BME click)

I should have vids and TL numbers tomorrow.

Yea truck has a bed cover. My friend actually built that in his backyard years ago. So the vehicle is actually a chevy 1500, and the amps are 2 cerwin vega stroker 2Ks strapped.

IMO... JL makes a fine product and they are a very innovative company. Their pricing is appropriate for their target market -- they sell a TON of woofers. They have an impressive list of patents if you search around... and I'm sure it costs alot to maintain their facilities as well. Can you find better bang for the buck ? Sure... but I don't see JL going anywhere any time soon and I look forward to seeing their new stuff. Not necessarily my cup of tea but very respectable products.

I like your panel saw in the back ground. Any info on it? Looks like good work done for 5 hrs. I can't even get out all my tools in an hour, yet alone get a box done in 5.

should get pretty loud. nice work

Glad you came to your senses.

Something that people can take into account, is the piece of mind with a JL product. JL set's themselves apart as they do actually do very extensive engineering and testing of their own products. They are not pointing to pictures in a Chinese build house catalog like many do now. They market very well and don't make major changes every 6 months to their products. So they know people will pay a premium for a premium product if that product has actual value and support behind it. JL is the Mercedes of the market place, they are doing it right. None of their products are the zenith of their respective segments, but all are very good and have lot's of development behind them. I know that I can walk into any dealer and buy a 300/2 amp and know I am getting an excellent product that I know if something went wrong, I would be taken care of, and to many people that is worth the extra money.

Did a little better today. This was using the USACi street beat cd. 151.7

You and me both homeboy

I just paid for them so I'm anticipating about 3-4 weeks. Should give me time to finish the wall and figure out amps.

Yes, micro asians FTW! I have seen 2 18s and 4 15s. We shall see.

Yep, dont even have a plan. no designer on here feels confident enough to make me a design. so ill build the biggest enclosure i can and see what fits. The 18s "can" use so much space, that your going to have a hard time making an enclosure too big in that car, just once it's done, try to figure out the volume, then make your port. It surely wont be too big. if i can get 18 cubes ill run 3 18s if not ill have a very efficient wall for 2 18s. ( I bought 3 just incase) Oh man, I bet you wish you could see the look on people's faces when they read that. Ha didnt think of that. im nobody special, if i can afford them... They really arent that expensive. No I agree, CA just pulls in a lot of young people with no money and really shouldn't be spending all their money on subwoofers, so it's extremely expensive to them. Where as if they were an average person with a steady income, then it's really not that much.

lots more to come!!

My highs rock more then twice 30wrms each. What you trying to power?

Every time JL is mentioned, being overpriced isn't far behind it. If you don't like the price, don't buy it. There's a lot in today's World that is way overpriced but yet rarely stops people from buying it. lol i dont buy it trust me... i can find better stuff for way better prices.... Not really. Initial price is high, but resale is excellent. The total cost of ownership is pretty low as a result. really... your telling me there 1000 wrms amp isnt expensive !!
