Better vid! Still on the Brutus :/ Watch in 720p!

Appreciate it. Hooked up my bro's amp w/o changing a thing and it played wonderfully. This led me to believe that the amp is faulty. AQ has been contacted. Maybe I'll get a new, properly working one soon to show it's full potential

^^ Good advice! Here's a little teaser vid on my brother's Hifonics Brutus. My AQ2200D wasn't working correctly. Audioque has been contacted for an exchange.

Something is faulty in the amp. I hooked up my bro's Hifonics Brutus (I believe it's rated at either 1800 or 2000 watts), and it played beautifully. I'm EXTREMELY happy with my box, sub, and wiring. I guess I just got a faulty amp? I'm gonna try to contact one of the guys from AQ and see what my options are for a new one. I'll put a vid up of it playing on the Brutus in a few.

When I unhooked the speaker wires and reset the amp, the clipping light remained on. This tells me that the wiring of the subwoofer is not the problem. I then unhooked the RCAs and reset once more; the light remained on. The RCAs are ok. And yes, the switch is set to master According to that, I would assume it could be only a small number of things. Either the ground is not good enough (I have no idea if this would cause my amp to display a clipped signal), a wire is grounding where it shouldn't be (perhaps somewhere in the engine compartment?), or the amp itself is malfunctioning. If there are any other possible resolutions, please let me know. If I don't have a functioning system by tonight, I just may

Installed all of my wiring today, and I had a bit of a problem. I have the gain at about 1/4 until tomorrow, when I'll set it properly. The sub is getting power, I know that for a fact. When music is playing, I can hear a slight murmur of the beat. The bass remote to my AQ2200D constantly displays the red "clipping" light, but I find it odd that the "power" light is not lit up. I'm almost certain from viewing similar problems that the responses I will get are, "quadruple check your wiring!!", but I did that before it all was installed. If there are no other options, I'll pull everything out and check once more, but I doubt this is the case. Does anyone know a possible problem that could be causing my system to do this?

I decided to let the old one die and start up a new one because the other one turned into me asking a ton of questions, not an actual build log Vehicle I'm starting with (The stupid green chevy emblem was painted black the day I bought it ): Equipment going into it: - (1) Fi BTL N2 18 - (1) AQ2200D - (1) XS Power D1200 - www.weldingsupply.com 1/0 wire Here are a few pics of the box build. Unfortunately I was more focused on building the box than taking pictures, so I only have a couple haha: And while it's picture time, here's me. Just in case you see me at a show or something, you can say hello. Me, my dad, and my brother. Yeah, we're weird.. The not-quite finished product. Still need to carpet and wire everything up. Got my dad's soldering gun today, so I should be able to wire up my shit this week. My last day of school is the 31st, so I might be a little delayed on getting everything finished, but it'll be done soon enough Box came out to 7.5 cubes at 35Hz. Let me know what you guys think!

I know, but it's not what they're built for.

I hope you're not planning on using N3s for a daily setup..

Dude your work is ricockulous. Amazing stuff

Ordered fuses, fuse boxes, terminals, and volt meter. Should get everything some time this week or next

Will do, thanks guys!

Soooo......what happens if I design an enclosure with no peak? Yeah, what he said.. Hell if I know

X2 ~49.67"

I don't buy anything unless it's from Cali. But naw, I don't really like the look of the round ones.

Really depends on the police officer. I've found that the older ones seem to be the cooler ones (which is backwards when you really think about it). The young bastards are the ones that think they're bad asses and can ring somebody up for some unnecessary charge. I guess the older ones just realize how people feel about officers that are just trying to meet their quota... At least that's how it is where I'm from. Could be the other way around in another part of the country. I've always respected officers, but some of them don't deserve it. I've always thought of it this way: If you're standing there chilling by the store, a cop pulls up, gets out, and throws a bag of cocaine on the ground, and arrests you, who is the judge going to believe? The noble police officer, or this punk drug dealer? Just my .02

Saw that the thread was starting to go downhill... I can giv halp? Thanks man, I appreciate it. I would have asked for help here on ssa, but no one here does really big builds. Know what I mean? Yeah bro I feel ya. Some people are just flat out better at building shit than others. SMD is the place to go for big builds like that. Yeah thanks No prob

Good luck with the build

YES.

I hear they're gonna be making their own subwoofers too!! Thanks everybody. I ended up going with ring terminals from here, fuses from here, and fuse holders from here. Think I should be alright?

I need copper ring terminals and fuses/fuse holders, and I was wondering if you guys had any websites that sold the best ones. I've searched ebay and a few other sources with some luck, but I'm just wondering if there's a better place to get them.

How does this look? Should I stay away? Fuse

Thanks man! I am very lucky to have a family like mine, and I really appreciate everything that they do for me. I can't stand it when I see a 16 year old driving a $40,000 brand new Mustang that mommy bought for them, when they're completely unaware of how lucky they are..
