November 27, 201113 yr Random system pics and vids:RE MT/PSI 12D1.4 and 2.2^3 @ 29Hz custom enclosure (sub and box built by BassHeadsEnt.net) on an AP18001D @ .7 w/ 2 old school 88'/89' Sony XM-5540 4 channels on mids/highs. Loved this setup! AA Chaos 15D2 in a 2.8 @ 32Hz BHE custom enclosure on an AP15001D @ 1 ohm (800 rms sub took 2x power with ease!) was bass racin 39.9 with this setup! 2 Incriminator Audio LI 12D4's in a 3.4^3 @ 31Hz BHE custom enclosure off AP15001D @ 1 ohm.
November 27, 201113 yr "Inbetween systems" systems.Box was 2.8^3 @ 36Hz built to get a higher TL score outa the AA Chaos 15/AP15001D setup but sub was sold before box was finished so I had it cut for a 12 and threw in a sub I had laying around. MOFO-12D2 V1 and AP15001D @ 1 ohm. Switched out my AP15001D for the AP18001D you seen above while I had this sub and hit a 138.x sealed up legal on the dash with a 41Hz tone iirc. Same box, AP18001D @ 8 ohms on HFi12D4 ~350 rms, hit a 135.x sealed up legal with this on a burp, same freq iirc.Click pic for vid
December 25, 201113 yr One of my very first systems, 2 Kicker CVR 12's off a kicker 400 Watt mono block, 6" comps, 6X9's, and front door comps all ran off a pioneer head unit Then upgraded my car, decided on an audio upgrade, Kicker 600watt amp, and a Kicker L5 12"Then I joined Audio forums and discovered what Audio is about lol. 2 Rockford Fosgate Punch 12's, Starsound 1.3 Kw amp, extra battery and 0 gauge wiring box was 5 cubic feet tuned onto 27hzA small video of them playin: Had a little run around for a while, got me a Kicker 15" L5 for cheap so made 1 3cuft box tuned to 32 and stuck the starsound amp onto it, no pics but here's a small vid: Then I changed car again, and got addicted to bass, so this time arouond same 5cuft box, 2 Vibe Space 12's, Hifonics 2607D, MTX roadthunder componants, Alpine 9886r HU, car deadened with Dynamat. And here's a small flex video of those subs: Then I finally took the plunge and walled the car. Completely deadened, 30mm of MDF on the roof with plenty of foam, sunroof sealed shut, 2 AA Mayhem 18's, 2 Hifonics 2607D's, Epic 160, SPL D 4 Channel amp, 2 sets of AA 7" carbon mids, 2 sets of 1" AA tweeters. This equate to 149.9 @ 32. I am currently rebuilding the box, and changing amps for something a little beefier Of course for batteries I have nothing less than 3 XS Power D3100's Also an Alpine PXE H-650 for telling the front end exactly what to doHere's a video of my wall
December 25, 201113 yr Author Some pictures of my first system: 4 x 12" in isobarik + 8 x 6.5" mid/bass + 4 x 3" mid and 4 x 1" tweeter`s, 5 amp\s and 1 x-over from pyramid and head unit from kenwood.Car: VW Rabbit GTD .Those the old pyramid super blue amps? My first amp was a 75x4....actually sounded decent for the money. Heard a rumor they were designed by PPI...no proof though... Wish I still had it for nostalgia sake, dont see them come up very often. I pushed my HARD bridged to two channels on a pair of CV 12's(yes the ones with the red surround).....fwiw...first HU was also a Kenwood....with changer control.....I thought I was so cool...lol...
February 3, 201213 yr Wow this brings back some memories. My first set up was a Jensen 12" from sears with the blue surround, and A REAL Lanzar Opti drive 100, All in my blown up honda accord off the battery charger! I did get an Phoenix gold M100 after that And wish i could reach my head to kick myself in it for getting rid of it. Don't have any pics unfortunatly. First car I could drive was a 72 Mercedes 220D, I had 2 Pioneer IMPPs in the grand old q logic bandpass box! run off 2 Profile california 600's audiovox 2 channel on the highs. which I believe were sony 5 1/4s and realistic tweeters in the kick panel. I was big pimpin I tell ya. Or so I thought.
March 24, 201213 yr This was my first. My dad accidentally sold the system in the car while I was on vacation . 18 BL and Sundown 1500 along with a bunch of other stuff.
August 30, 201213 yr Here you go one of my systems from 1994 era, not my first but before this I really didn't take photo's of anything kinda wished I had.Consisted of an Eclipse 5302 CD player, Kenwood KAC-723 amp (mids/highs), Kenwood KAC-823 amp (subs), MB Quart first series Discus 6.5" Components and Orion XTR 12's I think they were the 2nd gen XTRs maybe first.
August 30, 201213 yr Author Nice clean looking install....very nice for the times.....Looks like you might have a first gen and a second gen XTR there, seems to be more writing on the subs on the left, (series2, maybe)....did you get a little heavy on the volume and toast a sub? Just curious. I had some of the first series one XTRs and they took all the power i could throw at them at the time..Orion 250HCCA @ 2 ohms....it was a SQ system, so i didnt push it too hard, but every now and then I let it fly....had a second 250 for the highs, orion nt1, 4 and 6 for front stage..... miss that system, and the taurus sho it was in....right around 94-95 as well. Again...nice install and great looking car too.....love nissan/datsuns.....Here you go one of my systems from 1994 era, not my first but before this I really didn't take photo's of anything kinda wished I had.Consisted of an Eclipse 5302 CD player, Kenwood KAC-723 amp (mids/highs), Kenwood KAC-823 amp (subs), MB Quart first series Discus 6.5" Components and Orion XTR 12's I think they were the 2nd gen XTRs maybe first.
December 31, 201212 yr no pics but i had a 69 dart in 98 and it had a purple urban audio tape deck and i had a prefab box with tweeters and horns built in with 2 10" just be cool subs in my back seat no amp tho had many a loud ride in that car lol
September 23, 201311 yr What I had in my '03 s-10 before I sold it, never took pictures after carpeting the enclosure for some reason. System consisted of alpine cda-7998 source, JBL GTO series 75.2 and 601.1 amps, Clarion SRS 1686 components in doors, and one OZ Audio Matrix Elite 12.4 sub in 2 cubic feet tuned to 34 Hz.Still have the alpine 7998, oz sub and clarion comps. Sold the amps though.Same amps, and sub as above, but when I had them installed in my 92 ranger, was running JL VR 5.25 components in it, with an alpine 7897 deck at the time.
