haha quite a bit! I forgot I haven't updated this in awhile
I blew my Taramps 30k. Sold all my 15s. Sold all my boxes.
Went with 8 Sundown U 12s on 4 Taramps MD 8ks @ 0.5 ea this time around
I did not make a video :(
I built them so crappily I thought for sure they'd fail, so I have another brand new set to retrofit
somehow though, they're all held together and not leaking yet so I haven't rebuilt them
high beams just wire in with the ballasts like any retrofit would
it's in great shape :) the best HD hood I've personally owned, and I think I've had 4 so far
it does have the underhood light, but I think I'll probably pull it out
browsing facebook last night and I found an HD hood for $100
based on the dude's pictures, it looked like it might be my color. I've learned on sought after parts you don't ask questions, you just show up.
so I went out there, and it ended up being a little darker than I expected, but I think...
doubled up my electrical this weekend
2x Brand X 270a Alternators and 2x Limitless Lithium G30s
built a temporary rack to hold it all, and swapped from an MD 12k to a Bass 30k
everything is a mess because it's temporary
still waiting on a new box design and deciding if I want to keep this...
nah no way without moving the port closer to the hatch
I build all my boxes deep, knowing that I can put the one G30 on the side
the reason I swapped to Captain's seats is so I can mount all my batteries and amps in the middle of the two seats
got some more videos :)
I really love this setup, but all good things come to an end...
out with the 2nd row bench
in with the 2nd row buckets
2nd alternator and 2nd battery on the way, as well as a new box design and some new subs
only got one video, on my favorite song:
I used to be able to play at this place all day, but after the first song this time I was asked to leave lol
gotta find a new spot I guess
door panels are finished and installed :)
hopefully get some videos tomorrow after work if roads are plowed and I can get to my testing area
first impressions are that I like them much better than the prior doors, and they sound a lot louder
from what the box builders tell me, I have an enclosure peak @ 37hz (loudest score with least amount of power), and then a cabin peak around 46-47hz
I'm trying to avoid playing lower than 35hz because I don't wanna start ripping the hatch and other stuff
I got some pics from my builder today...
Thanks! Mine is a 155 with the door open tho lol. only 153.5 sealed.
In most of my setups I peaked around 41hz in these vehicles, but I guess I never really tested higher than that.
so not really sure what the answer is to that question
I'm super happy with it :) it's louder than most of the walled vehicles I've purchased
now I just have go avoid going bigger and ripping my door sheet metal and stuff
time to just be content for once lol
in other news, I finally got around to uploading the side molding removal video:
after swapping the sub wiring around, and still being wired @ 2 ohms, I gained about 1.5dB
then I decided screw it, and wired the amp to 0.5, and the setup finally really came alive
whelp went and tested them today and my scores were a lot lower than expected, even though power was decent for wiring @ 2 ohms
after I did all my metering, I was playing around on music and was like "dang, something doesn't look right".
the passenger side front sub didn't look to be moving...
