Thanks for the comments on the sails. I learned alot from this set Yes this is the backyard at my new house. Myself, my fiance and daughter love it here! It is very peaceful. Everybody that comes to visit feels at home even though it isn't their home Ah yes the idler pulley. I spent a decent amount of time on it. Spending time on up front on research pays off! The hardest part was getting the bolt I needed to mount it, wtf. I shopped around locally for days (Circle Nut and Bolt, Grainger, Lowes) and ended up going to Fastenal. They had the bolt I needed but I had to buy a bag of 75 pieces The salesman said to me "if you help me out I will help you. We have a promotion with these safety sunglasses. If you buy a pair of sunglasses I will give you your bolt". I said "it's on"! So the salesman gave me the bolt, some washers and nut, then I bought a pair of $11 sunglasses. Great deal!!! And I love the sunglasses!! Now hopefully.my idler pulley setup lasts the long run I plan on some 'glassing work on the sub box. Subs forward sealed from trunk. I might fire the port through the rear deck. We will see! I still have to glass the doors and kicks though first.

The subs do look the shit! I can not wait to hear these bad boys! I mounted the tweeters off axis to eliminate beaming from the titanium dome and to help with a deep soundstage. The tweeters swivel a good amount as well. For larger upcoming projects I will look into a powered sander. Thanks for the recommendation. Lol I live in a gated community, no hunting allowed. It is comical when I cook deer steaks or burgers on the grill to have deer 10 feet away watching lol. Thanks for chiming in!!!!!

Yes that was his post. He admitted fault and was regretfully giving you your money back. That sucks for you and DC Power. Hopefully in the future you will have a positive experience with DC Power.

Thanks stefanhinote

Wowzaa, is that three sets of power inputs o the NS-1? Hmm 900amp current draw I didn't see the small surprise prototype or is that the SAE-500D?

What happened to Kyle's post he posted today?

Very cool. Is the "other' car audio site next?

Somewhat rudimentary you can just use the formula Pi(r^2). example: 10" subwoofer, radius is 5", 5^2 = 25", Pi(25) = ~78.53in^2 Or you could look in the T/S specs and look for sd (effective cone area) lol. I didn't see any way to interpret your question differently, but at the same time I was surprised if someone didn't know how to find the area of a circle. Actually a little more than the area of a circle since it is a cone. This enclosure is going to be nuts

Got my new subs :wub: :wub: :wub: :wub: :wub: :wub: Sundown Z 12"v.2 w/v.3 softparts built by Nik(Paco) These mofos are heavy, +50lbs!!!!

Added an idler pulley pulley to my alternator system. The voltage is more consistent now

As I was taking pictures of the pods in my garage I got some visitors. My Mom calls my house a zoo. We have deer on our property about 78-80% of the day, literally. I tried to feed a little lady. She greets me everyday when I leave for work!

Got the tweeter pods don I am 75% happy with them. This was my first pod fabrication and I learned alot, well mainly what not to do lol. I ended up finishing them with black trim paint verses my original plan of texture paint.

I hear you man. Car audio eats up all my free time. which isn't much. I have been following some of Derrick's builds, He knows his chit!

Great thread! Some of you guys have an awesome collection. I like the showcase! Really brings back some memories. Back then I didn't know that ZED built so many varieties.

How did you blow up two new subs so fast? You had them both wired to a Stesom 5k?

I would love to see a legal measurement. How about getting this vehicle into a comp. The build log, eh. Why aren't there any pics of the enclosure installed? Not hating on this. That number is ridiculous for a single 18". Shit it's a single 18" in an enclosure built for two 18"(correct me if I am wrong). Metered in the port?

Where are the t/s? Lol joking joking!!

Voltage dips only when bass lines hit. There is a possibility that I could have belt slip. I am going to add an idler pulley. Hopefully that will help. Thanks for responding.

You really need to look at your wiring. Do you have a loose or bad ground?

I doubt you would notice much of a difference.

Lolz.

Aren't those JL Audio XD amps amazing!!! I have the 400/4 and love it!!
