Re: REACTOR amps smoking caps!

The reason Eric won't work on a Powercore is Eric does not want it to blow up in his face, or discharge into a tool and weld it to something else... I don't like working with stuff that can kill me. For this reason I don't work on really high powered amps either. For example if someone wanted me to...

Re: 05 Subie LGT - NOT a build log

Sweet install! :drool: Have you noticed any affects in sound quality from the woofer magnets being so close to the amps? I've never heard of such an issue, however in my case I don't think it will have any effect - there's actually a solid 4-5 inches between the rear of the magnets and the amps. I ...

Definitely swapped the plexi. It looks good. Can't wait to see your plexi swap Drock!

Re: Elite LED lighting

100% agreed and very well said. Your method of wiring is perfect for your install too, considering it's all in the truck's cabin. Mine will be wired to my trunk lights.

Re: Elite LED lighting

man im not sure about the led in the amps-look cheap imo these are high end units not a pg octane le. I would rather a cool silk screen on the plexi vs leds than also colors start to be a problem with the cars colors etc. Not sure just not for me I guess Yeah I understand why it's not for everyone....

Re: Elite LED lighting

My truck just happens to be at my installer's getting the amp racks finished up, which includes blue LED's under the amps casting what should theoretically look like a blue silhouette around the outside of the amps. They were done working on it yesterday I think, but between my job and this snowsto...

OK guys, on to the Elite 4 (thanks Drock, it looks good). I'll post a few more progress pics for this one. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/640x480q90/31/uc81.jpg Cut an LED strip into 2 sections, each slightly less than 21". Then solder on 2 very short lengths of primary wire. Test with a batt...

Nice job. Is that the .4 ? I did the same thing to my ti21600.5. Where did you put connections for the LEDs? I will be doing this to my elites as well.

For those wanting to try this, it's definitely possible and quite easy. The results look amazing in person.

I just swapped out my zx450 and zx500 for the elite .5. There is def more power there but space of sound has changed. A sense of smoothness. Currently only running 4 ohm sub so amp not being asked to do much. Have 2 ohm spg-555 Boston coming. The biggest thing I notice is the smile on my face. That...

Re: Elite.5 vs TI1600.5

Yeah I just might. I was considering selling it and using the lpl, but it does offer a lot more flexibility. I was mainly just thinking of recouping some of the cost lol.
