Well, after a couple of weeks of installing 4 of the new Nightshade 15 V.2's I've finally caused a little damage to my truck. Demoing last night on music my windshield came loose at the top of the cab. Everyone was saying my moulding was flopping around and when I poked my head out the side the window, they were right, I was losing air big time from the separation. The bad thing is today is the show and last night I was only at at half knob on the LC-1, I burp at full input signal on the LC-1. Needless to say, gotta go silicone and duct tape the windshield down this morning and since I have to replace it anyway, my goal is to break it on out today during my street beat run. I'll try to get some vids while I'm in the lane.

Things get kicked off Friday night with our annual Midnight Madness Sale. There will be price slashing throughout the store, giveaways, neon competition, tuning sessions, and of course demoing . Saturday the sales continue and registration for the show begins about noon with metering starting about 2 pm. If you're in the area.......stop by, meet the guys, spend some money, and of course have fun!

By chance are these mine you're building?

I too had an h/o alt from DB Electrical, with same probs as you and wanted more output at idle. Finally got with Dave from DC Power Engineering and now have dual (2) 270XP alts putting out 400 amps at idle. Needless to say, the difference is like night and day, love it. Call them and see what they can do for you, be forwarned, they are pricey, but what can we say.....we chose this expensive hobby.

Is that half the power of 4k or half power being 4k watts? Just curious as those drivers are only 1k rms. Looks really good though. Those Memphis amps are long as hell! I'm only running each amp at 2000 watts or 1000 per sub. These amps are 4000 watts rms a piece. djphilly....I just have the standard ford module, not the pro.....BTW that voltage is at the AMP not the ALT, probably closer to 16v at the ALT.

It's tuned to about 35 Hz, I've been playing it for about the past 2 weeks at half power (4000 watts) for break in and it sounds pretty damn good for a $200 sub. I've already made one guy bail out gagging for air . I should begin the panels here shortly. I'll get some vids up soon.

Crappy pic, but 15.4 volts

Getting close to finishing.....just need to build "seal off" panels from B pillar back. What do you think so far?

Not finding much online about this but wanted to know if u can run a Stetson 10K under 1 ohm (0.67) for daily?

Ok, redoing my setup in one of my vehicles. Equipment is 1 JL 300/4 and 1 JL 1000/1. Hooked everything up and right off the bat, the low voltage light comes on the JL 1000/1 and the 300/4 won't come on. Checked voltage at amps and I'm getting 12 and both. Now, the only thing I did different from the previous install was I DID use a relay on the remote wire, this time I didn't. The deck is a Pioneer and I'm wondering if the remote wire on Pioneers can't support 2 amp turn-ons. Any one got any suggestions?

Termlab 136.7 @ 55hz on the glass sealed 144.2 @ 34hz at the kick driver door open 158.9 @ 26hz at port All in all =

That doesn't sound right. The Fi has dual coils. You should have one wire from red terminal on one side of sub to the red terminal on the other side of the sub then to positve speaker on the amp. Then wire from black terminal on one side of the sub to the other black terminal on the other side of the sub then to the negative speaker on the amp. If it's a dual 2 then you have a net 1 ohm load. Can you post pic of how you have it wired now?

Pulled one sub, it was wired right. While I was there, did some measuring... Inside dimensions: L= 54" D=17.5" H=18.5" Total = 10.12 cf Angle on left side = 8" x 8" = 0.34 cf Sub dispalcement = 0.63 cf Port dispalcement = 0.66 cf Net box volume = 8.49 cf

They're wired right, meter is saying 1.2 ohms at the amp.

Any I guess, didn't pay much attention to their Orion's

I don't need anything else to sell, I've got too much to sell already. Anyone need some Fi SSD's, JL 1000/1 (brand new), RF 750S, MTX Thunder 8000's,etc.?

plus they did say they would work with you right! so you are set! maybe get a different sub setup! what else do they sell? for 1050 you should be able to get something that you would like!!! It's either T3, Memphis, or Orion

That's right, they could have at least offered me some lube before I so willingly grabbed my ankles on the box and subs. LOL

They tried to sell me one of those too (Mojo's), but I supplied the Sundown amps for the install.

And what gets me, the box builder competes, or used to. He's got the trophies and so forth to show for it, that's why I let him do it. The subs I bought hit 160 in a CRX with 4 memphis mojo 4kw's.

Local college, absolutely, but I'm not going to go to that much trouble. I have to work during the week to be able to waste my money on crap boxes and subs. LOL

The top view of the box looks like this

I wish I did have an o-scope Jacob, but I don't, just DMM.

Well, the game ain't over yet. The owner did say that if I'm not happy, then they'll do what ever it takes till i am. We'll see how that works.....

I know, hindsight's always 20/20.
