More equipment, same progress...

Lower impedance does not mean less efficiency. :word:

Looks good!

awwwwww, you put up the pic that I said I liked!

hahahahhaha, PHUCK you shogen lol! Here's another one from you, all these videos are from that user that you posted http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c0nT-yLnTCk&feature=plcp&context=C4392912VDvjVQa1PpcFPhYpO3XZ0c8bw42IMrGfIAdhPJMeFjgng%3D

daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn yo,kid as MAD skills. nice find for sure

Running 100w over the RMS is likely not going to cause any damage. More than likely one of the system settings was set incorrectly such as the gain, bass boost, etc, or he was using a ported enclosure & played too far under tuning. In which case, your friend could suffer the same fate even if running "exactly" the rated power handling. When you set the gains to a certain volume then tell someone to not turn it past that, they don't listen... The gain was set improperly then. On the factory head unit terrible distortion occurred at about half volume, so I went a little below half, to where there was no distortion and set the gains there. I told him to not turn the volume past that mark, he didn't listen. don't you h8 win that happens?

be sure to give us your opinion on before/after noise difference.

Well I have everything up and playing, right now I have the ZED on the highs/mids and the AQ on the sub. kind of just laying down on the floor, not show ready for sure. But I will get that up and looking nice sometime this week hopefully. Most of my problems have been solved. I've elimanted the EQ, at least for now. Ordered new RCA's. New box. And a lot of tunning with the SSF/gains/LPF on the AQ and some tweaking on the ZED. One thing I will like to note regarding the ZED, is that it seems to have this "auto" turn on feature, but the problems relies in the lower volume. Below 10/40. It won't play, until I turn it up past 10 or so. Other than that, it sounds great. Can't wait to get my other drivers in there. Also, the "ZED" logo that is lite in LEDs seems to flicker with bass notes, I'm not sure if this is intentional or not. On some really heavy notes at high volume, the "Z, E, and most of the D" will just go off. But its weird because my Voltage stays at 13.8. But overall, I guess I'm satisfied. I'm gonna make some finacial adjustments so I can get them doors done

sounds good to me

bwahahahhahahaha, I had to look at it for a minute! lmao damn yo, I literally lol

are you sure its free air? most factory subs I've seen are in a sealed enclosure, usually made out of plastic.

It sounds like your sold on psi before even making this post asking for opinions? I wouldn't extend the leads myself, not a fan of band-aids, I would just wait for the recone.

AT THE SAME DAMN TIME!

lol

I 2nd this, A box out of MDF would have been cheaper than 50.00$

I love that drink! If you look at the backside, you will noticed its shipped out of Nashville

Whats patience?

I can't remember having this same experience with the Icon. I still have it though. I suppose i could drop it in. But doing that would do me no good at this point as I am running the Zcon from this point forward, as well it has been confirmed that it is not the Zcon. Turning down the lpf on amp and HU only cause less output in the upper range and problem was still apparent. If you put your ear right above the nipple, you can hear the vocals coming out of it. I did this little test while unplugging the mids/highs.

I'm not in a big hurry to get the other amps. Some big home expenses have come up lately so no major audio buys will be made for a couple months. I'm still competing and tweaking things, just not buying amps right now. That being said, since I already have my front speakers. I may start working on that. word, keep us updated and best of luck on the unexpected expenses

Try ported first, with the Kicker's and see what he likes then, that would be the cheapest route
