Video tomorrow? *calms down* I'm still amped! I'm glad work kept me busy, would have been a horrible day if i was just sitting there.Just kinda' turned the gain up a bit, messed with the SSf for a sec, but they sounded darn good. My dad came outside and told me with all the bass these speakers have i dont need my 12s! More than the AA carbons as far as i can tell, so far. But that's nothing against the carbons, just my tuning sucked haha More on how they sound in a couple days after i get to tinker with them over the weekend I can't wait for the drive to class in the morning. Maybe ill wake up early
April 29, 201114 yr Author I'm really not that white, it's my camera's flash Alright, this is getting to be a mess. A ton of stuff to be unwrapped. This is a queen size bed. Took it all up!Let us go to the kitchen table.
April 29, 201114 yr Author Most everything laid out.In the online pictures, i didn't think these looked all that "beefy". But after seeing them in person, holding them, prying screwdrivers/cutters/screws/tweeter off of the magnet, i know these have some powa'!Little pole vent even!REALLY like the mid's connecters. Now to start installing.
April 29, 201114 yr Damn your white. Huge crossovers, fun mounting them eh. Speakers got some nice magnets going on there
April 29, 201114 yr Author Going to KNU 12 gauge.Tweeter installed. Like how secure everything is compared to my last setup. These swivel too, really like how i can aim them wherever i want.Mid in. Have to use my ghetto pods for now, wont fit in stock location. Really don't like these things, never have really. But they get the job done.Xover: wired them close to amp and used both runs of 12 gauge to the front. No point in having lone wires in the car not doing anything.
April 29, 201114 yr Author Damn your white. Huge crossovers, fun mounting them eh. Speakers got some nice magnets going on thereWashington weather = rain. Don't get too much sun, guess i need to take a trip to AZ this summer, eh'? Didn't mount the Xovers tonight, they're just sorta' placed, snugly, next to the amp for now. Still have a ton of stuff i want to do.
April 29, 201114 yr Author Your ghetto pods look pretty good to me I'll be happier if i ever get to a FG project. Teach me?

April 29, 201114 yr Author That's all for tonight. More to come tomorrow. I lied. Forgot about this.While waiting after class for the JBLs to show up i tore apart the rest of my car to find where my leak was coming from. My left taillight's gasket was soaked, so i took the whole unit out and took the gasket out, tipped it over and this is what came out.So i use some of the "fun foam" i got a couple weeks ago to try and make a gasket for my rear spray nozzle to make a new gasket for the tail light. Used the OEM as a template and got to work! No pictures, but i don't know many other people that have electric blue taillight gaskets! Doubled it up around where the light's plastic meets the metal of the car and anywhere else that looks like it needed it. Screwed it all back in and hope that works. Wont know until it rains again, which will probably be tonight or tomorrow. Updates on that later.
April 29, 201114 yr That JBL set does look nice!! Mid is beafy, looked like cooling slots on the side of the coil as well as the pole vent. Your pods with those mids in them look really nice!Don't you like how from the factory they put the window crank so close to the speaker location?

Your pods with those mids in them look really nice!Don't you like how from the factory they put the window crank so close to the speaker location?OH YES, it's one of my favorite features! I didn't get a picture of it, but i could see the VC in the cooling slots, looked large. They claim "over sized voice coils". Guess they're not messing around!
April 29, 201114 yr Author Just got the sub in. Wish it had more than 150-200 watts, i know it could use some more, just isn't TOO loud. I know, I know, it's a sealed 12 on 200 watts, but it just seems like there could be more.Mounted inverted, with each coil going to a channel on the 100.4 (3 & 4).Once i plugged the RCAs into channels 3&4 the speaker whine came back, with just RCAs going to channels 1&2 there was no whine. Starting to think it's the amp... possibly the deck?Uploading a couple pictures now.
