im assuming your going ported fosgate fan...im entertained when the steering wheel shakes

 

yeah, going ported...tuned to 28 Hz.

 

you better post pix. when will this be done?

 

don't worry, i will post pics when i have everything in . talked to my builder last night. he said he will get the materials and stuff and may start to build today. it's "Moe Lester" from the car audio forums that's building it.

 

haha. him and those gloves... have u heard his IA subs?

 

nope, but i think he said they hit 150s at that last event he was in a few weeks ago. i wonder what they sound like...

 

damn you guys get all that rattling from 250-500 watts of power? i wish my car did the same, im running approximately 1200-1400rms to my sub, my roof shakes if that counts but nothing really inside the car. and the usual rear view mirror(shakes so much its off the glass) and the side view mirrors.

 

its nothing to brag about. with the stock non bose i could make my mirror vibrate. it depends ALOT on weather conditions for me. once it drops below 70 degrees everything rattles alot. above that...its much less.

 

so how would my 15" Brahma in a 2.4 cubes sealed with 1200 watts sound?

I've just realized something...how bad will the rattling in my car be?

Dude you should def check out any of the adire products.

 

i dunno about 4th gens... but im you'll need to do something. i thought they said 2.25.. or is that 2.25 net. you will love the brahma.

 

hmm change of plans, he won't finish it this week (since i'm leaving for new mexico soon). he'll get started when i get back. but basically it's going to be 2.5 cu ft now, instead of 2.1. he suggested the bigger volume to make the small amp i have more efficient. dimensions are going to be 34 5/8" wide, 13.5" tall, and 16.5" deep, still tuned to 28 Hz.

 

fosgate fan what kind of sub(s) do u bump

 

one 12" brahma

 

i think your going to love that setup. now im even more torn pending the possible GD on RE products... shivas... or XXX.

 

too many brahmas here, be different...get a 15" XXX

 

lol, like what, 2 brahmas total. actually i think there are more XXX's than brahmas. sme kid had 2 of them i think in the sticky up top. but if i go xxx it will be a 15 for sure.

 

haha yeah there's only a like 2 other guys with brahmas here. tempting to get that xxx ain't it

 

why is one 15 so good? does it have deeper bass or something

 

wat about the tempest? its $150 for a 15'' is awesome is it good? and whats the diff between 12'' and 15''
any help would b awesome

 

isnt reccomending it i got one a couple days ago and from what i've read/heard about it, with my 534W im not impressed

 

why aren't you impressed? is it not loud enough? or does it sound bad?

 

i've only read good things about the tempest

 

yea thats what I thought too until now

 

my previous dream system was too much mula and too much bumpin..i need somethin a lil lower.. like one 12'' type R and and 350 watt amp..any comments or ideas/critique towards a FELLA balla

 

so uhh...you not gonna get those shivas?

 

i refuse to recommened the tempest because david is having problems with his. it sounds like install issues but im not there to see. imo a tempest with 500 watts should be damn good. id say a tempest over a type r... but i cant until david fixes his problems with it.


edit: did he just get banned???

 

prolly...he was whoring up this forum...

edit: about those tempest, is he that guy from the other forum having issues with the cone not coming back out after he pressed them in?

 

so do i. but its usually trying to help with the little knowledge of car audio i know.

 

hold on hold on. you meant to tell me a shiva is shaking up your dash and making your rear view shake like crazy? wtf so its not about watt its about speaker design??? and how the hell do i port out my box? dam man i want crazy bass like that too.

 

fosgate fan: i dont think so. but i do recall in the past month or 2, 2 people having problems with them.

2 da max: 2 shivas my man, 2 shivas. shiva is very efficient. does not need alot of power to reach alot of spl. thats why i love mine. you can make a system twice as loud with half the power by using a ported setup. for your kicker id imagine you need a loarger box to port the sub. you can't just stick a hole in the box and think its ported.

 

How come all systems are so expensive man? I want a nice loud system, but I can't find anything under $1,000.

 

what? of course you can

 

i want something nice,loud, and good quality though

 

of what... subs and an amp? buying used can save $. get an ed nine1 which you can get for 275 brand new with a 3 year warranty. then get a tdx from don and your way under 1g.

 

hey slick man i might end up buying another cvr again. my cvr is shot, this **** just makes noise and no bass

 

you seem to run into a lot of issues this year huh?

 

yes my car sucks, i need a drop, i need new bumpers, i need struts, i need to fix my rear valve cover, i need breaks, i need an abs sensor, i need a new system.

im getting a new job soon so hopefully ill dump a crap load of money into the car. right now ill probably get another cvr and run 400rms

 

hey fosgate fan i notice you have your power wire right next to your MAF thats not good for it man, it causes interference i heard

 

prolly cuz your clipping the crap out of it... why would you buy a cvr when you know our gonna do the same thing to it again. id seriously consider buying a new amp... anything but sony please.

 

hmm my dealer has a nice eclipse 3320 for 270. i dont know its 200rms x2 @ 2ohms. and 400rmsX1 @4ohms i think? i already have eclipse amp pushing the interiors. i dont know man. at least ill have warranty for the sub if i buy another cvr so basically i could see what the problem is. wait.. fawk it i am going to get an alpine amp for 170. its 200rms@ 4 and 320 at2. hopefull later ill get an alpine sub. but i dont know my amp plays it shouldnt be bad right? i mean if it plays then it should be good? right?
