Sorry these photos are old.

I`ll take some new ones as soon as possible.

My hard drive blew up & I lost all of my photos apart from the ones on PhotoBucket.

ANYWAY:

Thank You! Stereo Integrity:-)

These 15" Magnums are amazing subs. My system is not walled and it`s very, very LOUD.

I`m very happy. :) Running in the subs at the moment so they`re pretty stiff.

Using only 4000wrms and Tuned to 33Hz.

The system is hitting 150.7dB (Term LAB). With all windows & doors shut. Straight outta the box & 1st time being played LOUD.

No test tones.

I was messing about, playing MUSIC :)

With the batteries on lower charge than usual as I had left the Power inverter on all evening whilst the engine was off:Doh:

Only running the amps seperately at 2ohm at the moment. 4000wrms

After a few events I`ll be strapping the amps together & running @ 1ohm.

6000wrms+

Then I`ll be loading each amp down to 0.5ohm each. OMFG!!!

Still got two more ports to add. (More port area = LOUDER)

Still tuning to the LOW 30Hz range. :twisted:

And tuning to 25Hz :twisted: :lol:

Will post more info & pics soon...

Nah Ryan, that was someone else who couldn't use Mags.

But that install is frickin sweet! Max called me and told me about the 150 score while playing music, which is just great. Hell, with 4k watts, the right frequency, and proper charge on the batteries you will be doing much better on the mic. 6k watts is just nuts.

that kicks arse!!!!

Only 4k at the moment. But I`m going to strap the PowerBass XA-3000D @ 1ohm next. (Got to run the subs in a bit more, the`ve only had about two hours playtime & do a few competitions 1st)

After that I`m going to seperate the amps again & run each one @ 0.5ohm (I`m assuming this will be even louder than a strapped pair @ 1ohm)

Does anybody know what the PowerBass XA3000D kicks out at a 0.5ohm load, or is it the same figure but cos of the lower ohmage the box impedance will be less?

Having said that stuff about loading down the amps.

I`m not to bothered about getting high dBs anymore. Although being able to get high figures is nice.

It`s much more fun to be able to listen to my sounds & watch everyones reactions when they see the windows - bonnet & doors flexing :D

BTW: I`ve used 25+ sheets of Dynamat & 25x sheets of Dynamat Extreme in this vehicle.

The front screen moves out about 1/4" - have already had to replace it due to the stone chips developing into large cracks!!

When people sit in the car, they are even more shocked. Considering it`s not a walled system. I`ve had many good comments from other guys with walled systems & they are all saying it VERY loud & DROPS really LOW & sounds excellent (The BASS is Clearer).

The Bass hits really hard. I can`t sit in the car when certain tracks are playing.

Using 2x Odessey PC2150 batteries & one Redflash 3500 for the power supply & 120 Amp alternator.

Max (U.K. Distributer) is visiting this weekend. So I`ll take that oppertunity to get some photos done.

The install still isn`t finished. Got lots of finishing touches to do & I`ve also got to sort out the front sound stage and add the EPICENTER.

Oh. And I must not forget to turn off that bloody 240v power inverter next time :Doh: .

strapping at 1 ohm should be the same as each amp doing .5. same basic principle as a 2 channel stereo/bridged amp- 2 ohms stereo is like 4 ohms mono.

lookin good though, wish I could have 4 mags
