Posted October 30, 200519 yr this is the UGLIEST install i have done or will ever do. It was a last minute thing and i really really really wanted to try out my Merlin2's Day 1:hmmm i wonder lies underneath this fine packagingtop: MD 22 (sub) Bottom: MD41 (comps)MD22 vs a Viper 1200.1 that does twice the power of the merlin.MD41 vs 9.2Day 2:Stoopid gas tank... ruins my ability to competeteh ghetto install (im soo soo ashamed of this):well there it is. At least it sounds nice I was gonna bridge the 41 into 2 channels, but i didnt have any y adaptors so im only running 50w off my rainbows. (review on next post)
October 30, 200519 yr Author and sorry bout the bad quality pix any ways my impressions:MD22:with about 600w and the MD22, The bass was noticeably different. It was more crisp, more defined, snappier, cleaner, even louder than the viper 1200.1 running it at 600w. SHakes my whole freakin car more than i have ever felt when i played the beginning of Hoods Run down by lil wyte. All in all, AMAZING improvement, i have to turn the bass down.MD41:oaky this is where i dunno wats goin on... ithink its because im only sending 50w into my rainbows whereas i was sending 80 with my 9.2. The midbass most definitely improved. It blended with the bass MUCH more perfectly than before. The midrage was much more defined and louder (with 50w). The highs however were a little different. it sounded more laid back i guess? i dunno but i can live with it. maybe a little tweeking and things will turn out okay.thats all just wanted to share
October 30, 200519 yr Those are some very nice looking amps. I wish I could afford them.The install isn't that bad
October 30, 200519 yr Author ima perfectionist when it comes to this kinda stuff. its eating away at my my sanity as i type this.
November 3, 200519 yr Author update: bridged the 4 channels in the 41 now giving a good 90w/ speaker, just perfect
November 3, 200519 yr Author hey i need your saw supa...lol i cant use a circular for crap.dennis come along too! i heard you and jeff need his saw also.
November 3, 200519 yr who is jeff ?Dennis is coming on the 11th and 13th gonna do an amp rack and new enclosures for him.
November 3, 200519 yr Author hmm mite need ta stop by on the 11th make that freakin box for my rlp and my re8 and my EU700 AND my 10" legacy
November 3, 200519 yr enclosure making, way faster than pre drilling and screwing.I gotta make 2 for dennis and 1 for meIt would be better if you came another day, we have enough work to do as it is.Not that i dont want your company(i do) it might get a little hetic.I could use the circ saw
November 3, 200519 yr Author i. cant. do. it... my cuzn is having a red egg lunch for her newborn daughter on sundayas for the box building... i dont mind, all i need is to buy the wood and cut the wood, and i can build at my house and ygpm
November 3, 200519 yr enclosure making, way faster than pre drilling and screwing.I gotta make 2 for dennis and 1 for meIt would be better if you came another day, we have enough work to do as it is.Not that i dont want your company(i do) it might get a little hetic.I could use the circ saw <{POST_SNAPBACK}>We could try to make it work. It's not like we'll be cutting wood the whole time and Jeremy could take care of the assembly of his box on his own. We're gonna be spending some time taking my car apart, so Jeremy could be using the saw then. whatever though, doesnt matter to me, up to you. Just would like to see J's amps.Oh and about Jeff (goes to UCI, met Jeremy before), he doesnt even have his car yet so he won't be doing anything soon.
November 3, 200519 yr Author thanks for the backup homie.its boxes 4 to be exact.i also might need to make a box for a JL w6v2 also just to mess around with it.i just need straight cuts dangit!!!!
November 3, 200519 yr Straight cuts i can do.4 enclosures...eeekThat'll be at least 3-4 sheets of MDF
November 3, 200519 yr Author nah not really, they are gonna be small boxes.EU700 .5 ported, RE8 .5 ported, a small sealed for a W6 maybe and my RLP which is gonna be the biggest. so i estimate 2 sheets
