  1. You match the impedence of the subs to the amplifier. If a sub has two voice coils, there are very few instances where you would want to only use one. Plan on using any and all of the voice coils a sub has.
  2. not buying such large rims and low profile tires. Or........a ton of mass loading on the trunk lid. or......turning the subs around so they are facing forwards and sealing the trunk off behind the front baffle.
  3. I assume you are going with round ports since you say diameter. Aero or regular? Do you know how long you're going to make them, what tune you're going to use, box size?
  4. It all looks great. But I have to question why you obviously spent a lot of time and money on the system then used 5x7 coaxials?
  5. just because someone has a 2000 watt amp on one of those doesn't mean they're actually using all 2000 watts.

    Yeah it's possible. Look for a line output converter (LOC), and you can either use one of the rear speaker inputs if he doesn't use his rear speakers, or just splice it in. That'll get your signal to the amp.
  7. it's going to be hard to get any louder with only 5 cubes. You're basically limited to two 15s sealed or two 12s ported. To get louder you'll also most likely have to step up amp power. Maybe try two nightshades and a 3000D. May have to step up your budget.

    Also, does anybody know a good beat-em-up style game for PS2 like Final Fight 2 or Streets of Rage 2?

    I really need to get a humidifier for my room. It gets so dry when I use my space heater.

    great, up at 7am on a Saturday. only got 6.5 hours of sleep. ugh. at least it was starting to get light this morning, unlike every other morning when I'm going to work with it still dark. Last night I was dozing off while sitting at my computer. I must have dozed off about 5 times and only for maybe 20 seconds each time, but I had a different dream each of those times. It was crazy. I'd wake up with the last words spoken in the dream ringing in my ears.

    This gecko better eat this one damn cricket I put into his cage real quick tonight, because it's a chirper. I'm not going to have that thing going off all night right beside my bed.

    Forgot my roommate had a wedding to go to this weekend, and he left yesterday. and my gf is out of town. I'm all alone all weekend.

    Why is it that you always seem to have the hardest work to do on Friday afternoon? I was trying to coast into the weekend, but no, I have to go and look at the corrections my boss wants me to make to my report and I get all engulfed in it and basically rehash the whole case. Ended up leaving 30 minutes late because I didn't want to forget things if I saved it until Monday. dammit.
  14. if you switched amps and rcas it has to be the head unit. as dbjunior said, some head units have off/on switches for the sub out.
  15. you really don't need a distribution block that outputs 1/0. It only needs to accept 1/0 input, and you can have 4 guage go to each amp. I know there are some of those around. The ground distribution block doesn't have to be fancy. You can just get an unfused "power" distro block and turn it around so that it basically has three inputs and one output.
  16. I guess I didn't see that "MTX is pyramid power" bit. MTX and pyramid are two different companies. so which is it, pyramid or MTX?

    well, had a decent day getting samples, except for the usual utilities not wanting to actually mark their utilities. One utility guy made me call back in to dig safe and change my ticket so that the place I wanted him to mark was specifically listed. Because apparently "around the big storage tank" only means within 1 foot of it. His utilities were about 15 feet away. Stupid thing is that because I changed the ticket, it gets called back to every other utility company and they will go back out and remark. Jerkoff. 100 bucks says if I just put down the address and no description he'd come to me and say "so where are you going to be working" so that he can try and cut it down. The gas guy refused to mark his line that was about 20 feet from where we were working, even though he had to go out there to see where it was. Why not just mark it anyway while you're there? I swear, in the job description of companies hiring a utility marker it says "Must not want to do your job correctly, must be lazy, and must get easily aggravated when called upon to do your job."
  18. well he's going to be deaf before long.
  19. Also check and make sure that sub will even like being in there. Some factory subs are just mounted free air in the back. So check and see if there is an enclosure for the sub.
  20. make sure a wire isn't shorting out around the wiring harness in back.

    hooray, I get to do field work today.
  22. I don't think MTX makes a 6kw amp.
  23. well you don't need a batcap. I'm not a big fan of circuit breakers, why don't they just use a fused distribution block for the power wire? What size wire are they going to use? I also don't know where/how they're going to use 5 ring terminals. They should only need one for one power wire at the battery. Nor how they're going to use two ground distribution blocks, again they should only need one, just like one for the power wire.

    I think there was garlic in that pickle yesterday, and I think that is what is making my stomach *still* uneasy.
