currently:
1 DD9515
2 American Bass CX-1500's

I'm now testing out the American Bass VFL 1511 w/ an amp per coil and I'll probably keep that. I might add another post in a few minutes w/ new pictures... depends how motivated I get.

But old pictures are on my sounddomain page. Last year's box, etc.

2 Pioneer 3 way 6X9's off a 400 Rockford Punch amp

Head unit= RFX 9210

Here are some pix of my ****!

ok, so I got bored:...

The New Box

Fully Adjustable Port for easy tuning and testing

The amps are currently MIA.

But this is what the amps look like.

You probably noticed that the DD is in the new box, but this is what the new sub looks like.

AB VFL 1511 vs DD 9515

Its a work in progress obviously....

Heres a few pictures of the different installs i've had

My cd player and neon switches


my oldest install


my amp rack during a db drag


9.5 cu.ft. slotported


another install

i saw your car before cheezer i think one cardomain or some thing like that. also brandon what size is that amp

god that's pimp cheezer. I bet it sounds nice and loud !

And that's a "150" watt amp Goph. 150 @ 4 ohm, 1500@ 1 ohm. I wish I could give it 16 volts b/c it'll do 2200+ @ .5ohms w/ 16 volts.

ok do you think that sub can take a Jbl 1200.1 on each coil because that is what he is going to do i like 2 or 3 weeks

which sub? the DD? OF COURSE the DD can take 1200 watts from a JBL... I had plans to put a JBL per coil... for daily driving! But the amps are too inefficient and aren't rated nice for USACi competitions like the American Bass amps are.

I had a JBL BP 1200.1 on the DD for a long time. It was the first amp I had on it. Worked very nice and got me to the 150dB mark.

ok

Did you wire it to .5 ohms or 1?

That's why I hate having two subs...only 600 watts to each.... ****...

wire what?

Currently;
1 Rockford 700s
2 Rockford 12" HE2s
1 Monster Cable 1 farad cap
Pioneer Premier 740MP

Going to dump current setup for one of the following;

2 Alpine 12" Type Rs
2 Alpine MRD-500s or one

or

1 JL 500/1 or JL 1000/1
2 W3v2s or 2 W6v2s

The JL is suppose to be better quality, much better, but the Alpines are less expensive and with two of them? Let me know guys.

booo alpine subs... go with the JL's (W6's)

Dual Lightning Audio Bolt 10" baby! Yeah, hardcore! lol powered by a MTX RT2120 2 channel amp pushin like 50W RMS each @ 4ohms. Enough boom for me, specially enclosed in a bandpass within an exposed truck interior.

at least it's something better than nothing at all

Haha my cousin had lightning bolts for a while. He thought it sounded great. Nobody wanted to ride with him, though, because what he thought was "great" sounded like complete ****, lol.

I'm a cheap *******, I'll admit it. I know, soon the Bolts shall go. Seems you have to either spend a ton or spend none with car audio. All the amps I look at in the store don't rate much higher than my MTX unless you're talkin like $350-400. I'll probably just get one of those Bazookas off Ebay @ like 500W. They're cheap enough and people seem to rate them well.
