PG Cyclone IB in car?

IB = infinite baffle. You seal your trunk off from the front passenger cabin and basically make a really big enclosure out of the trunk. Personally I have found it easier to build a box then to seal a trunk.... The 3 12" RSDCs says you're correct... I love the sound at the sacrifice of my whol...

I missed the part where this was going in a Crown Vic, hehehe... You could fit one of those Clarion 32" subs in that trunk...

PG Cyclone IB in car?

I've asked before. I wanted to try it, but have not even begun to set up my car IB yet. I've heard an IB set up with 2 15s and remembered how I THOUGHT it sounded hollowish. So, my cyclone is hiding until I make a nice big ass enclosure to experience the lower frequencies they claim. I really believ...

M44 @ 1.33 ohms bridged? maybe with fan shroud?

I've had the 1200.1 at 1 ohm, it would go into protection at what sounded like 100hz hard bass. It barely got warm after a 6 hour drive and was very very loud on 2 15" type R dual 4 ohm...

M44 @ 1.33 ohms bridged? maybe with fan shroud?

I've had my ZX600 TI 1 ohm bridged and it was getting hot quickly. Even with the MPS, it will get warm pretty quick at moderate to loudish levels.

The reason I've not been posting much on here..

Although I don't drive one, I am a huge air cooled VW fan. I have a 68 beetle, soon a 69 also. I recently finished wiring a 2.5 Subaru in a 64 beetle and that thing is so fast with a stock 2.5, it almost belongs in there. Having modern A/C and heat doesn't hurt either, hehehe... This and the notch b...

air ride install in 94 gt

Not a big Mustang fan, but the drop and wheels make Mustangs look very nice. Funny how a simple offset wheel combo makes them stand out compared to the stock wheels. I just finished tuning an 08 GT and there is so much "fun" that Ford takes away from the stock GT. A simple ignition timing,...

M44 @ 1.33 ohms bridged? maybe with fan shroud?

I've had my M44 2ohm stereo to subs and it would get warm after a while of light listening. It never shut off on thermal or overload with about an hour of loud listening. This was 12volts and used in house as a computer system stereo. I think it would get hot in a car environment quickly... Hello fr...

Q&A for me

I've direct shorted a 600.2 by accident and it went into protection until the 4th or 5th attempt. It seemed to work well until it burned the output transistors. I've had a few accidents and my TI amps haven't had any other issues aside from when I direct shorted and tried to turn the amp up... Hello...

Have fun, there have been books written on midrange placement and these guys are dealing with one set of drivers. By the sounds of what you plan to do, you'll have 3 sets of similar sized speakers covering similar ranges. I've always loved the sound of a light rear fill and a strong front end. Being...

I think you'll enjoy the TI line. I've had no complaints using 75 watts rms on a set of components on the 500.4. I could have always gone louder bridging or using a 600.2, but for spirited listening, the 500.4 never missed a beat. Aside from some fan noise if installed in the listening environment, ...

MPS-2500 (lots of large photos inside) FIXED PICS

Is there anything different component wise on the input stage to use an MPS2500 over an MS2125? (If total output weren't a deciding factor.)

The 500.4 bridged stereo to the 9s would be great. A 600.2 to the components with their crossover would be ideal. If you have another 500.4, bridge it to the components instead of the 600.2. I don't like the 9s on only 2 channels of the 500.4, they need some good power.. If you can seal the 6s, you ...

I haven't tried my bass cube yet, but I've read that it will help you get lower frequencies with your subs in a smaller than recommended sealed enclosure. Something to try if you are going to use all 4 10s in a less than optimal sealed enclosure...

Funny thing, I've had 2 JL10w3v3s in a sealed heavy ass enclosure with about 1cuft per sub. It had too much for my 600ti on 6.5 RSDCs and it was on it's own 600ti. I would suggest 2 of the 10s in a sealed enclosure with 600 watts rms at 2 ohms each. Test the sound then finish your install around the...

Leaking capacitor tutorial update

I think the smaller value caps are better for higher frequency noise filtering if the PS caps do anything other than hold reserves of energy for the power supply... I think I have used the 8200 uf 16 volt caps in my MS amps...
