Amp is so clean, what's it mean when the lcd needle was reaching the right and the color was turning orange? Those little 3 incher ports are starving the xcons

That's normal.

Welcome to the forum! Maybe the img tag got screwy when typed manually, although thats how i do it too... Ported def. yields more output, but I also like the sound of sealed enclosures too, sounds tighter.

Yeah its annoying lol XD I guess I asked for it tho. lol Yeah, nature of the beast, at least it's a good thing

How many drives are you planning on using? budget?

In the mean time, lets get some of these printed and made as stickers for xcons and zcons. SO SICK!

Yes the cone. I'm building a show car ( I know budget shouldn't be a question when doing so but the line of work I'm in gives me access to some awesome sponsorships and parts at wholesale pricing. Wish I could get an audio sponsorship but haven't had luck so far) So you would rather have a show car that looks cool but doesn't sound all that impressive? There are plenty of well performing, good looking drivers... I don't see the reason to get all specific about the color of the cone...

Believe it or not, the flames actually ad dBs. Somehow how they are positioned, helps displace more air, thus more output.

That's just ridiculous, so loud that the hu shuts off... Tuned in to see how the center console comes out. and videos...

Let me know what comes of it.

Thanks for all the info

Cinema 4D and Photoshop.

Yeah I soaked the cloth in resin, then cut strips of fiberglass mat and placed them everywhere, then dabbed them with a brush til they soaked the resin, then waited about 15 minutes and did another layer of mat and resin. I figured it would be easier to sand down in the end, guess not. Yours looks so much smoother. Is cab-o-sil better then bondo, or depends on application? Your craftsmanship is awesome.

I think I get it, the wire is just woven like stitching it together, so it's pulling. Hot gluing / CA glue sounds easy enough Everytime I go again, it comes out a little better, and easier. Worst part was being hunched over for hours sanding everything. Yesterday I laid back in a camping chair with my legs up on a bench, and used a box on my chest to catch all the sanded shit, next morning my back didn't ache like a bitch, and I'm only 18

heh, Notice this was from Jan, I had some free time here and there, now...not so much

I've just read TONs of threads about people saying their EA alt has terrible voltage and amperage at idle, worse then stock.

I have the overall diameter, cutout diameter, and overall depth of the drivers. I also have drivers with the same cutout but bigger depth, so I can use them. Thanks man, my first runs turned out okay, but after doing it a few times I'm starting to get the hang of it.

No pressure at all

Here I mention hot glue for the dowels and don't even think about using it for the cloth... Thanks ^this and spray adhesive like used for attaching carpet to an enclosure ( is that CA glue) I got a bunch of foam and fabric spray adhesive for the vinyl, I'll try that too Between the 2 you should be ready to go! Yep! Just gotta make some speaker rings, get a hot glue gun, and order some speakers <-- dreading the speaker part, broke... hehe

Let me start by showing what I've done and what I'm trying to finish with... I'm planning on hot gluing wooden dowels to the fiberglass panel up to a wood speaker ring. Then wrap a big piece of cloth around the speaker ring to the back of the fiberglass panel, then stable the cloth around the ring, and glass the cloth, etc. Only problem I'm running into is, when I wrap the cloth around the ring and fiberglass, how do I staple down the cloth, since there won't be any wood to staple into on the back of the fiberglass panel. Could I glue small strips of cardboard to the back of the fiberglass and staple into that? Sorry if I'm confusing.

Love the plexi and bottom enclosure for amps and bars, kinda a shame there's a seat hiding it 99% of the time.
