winter beater install

Post by Thunderdome »

well nothing to special just remember this is a winter beater and will likely only be around for a short while so no extra time spent

your winter beater is a supercharged Pontiac Grand Prix? 380ft/lbs of torque if i remember right... and the police suspension kit is a direct bolt on...

with a pair of ID subs, McIntosh fronts and PG MS Series (2150 and a 275 by the looks of it)?

wow.

even at 4 ohm mono as the subs are 8 ohms I thought the car was going to shake apart unfortunately the 300.2 just didn,t do its part on the front end might have been under powered? if I trip on another 300.2 I might try to run 2 of them mono on the front end and the 1200 on the subs? might work although I got my new ti5 elites thanks to Davewaivel http://phoenixphorum.com/ti-elite-cross ... 12865.html and woofers etc http://www.woofersetc.com/p6217/Ti5-MID ... -speakers- so I might have to try them out as the crossover is done in the tantrum theme so it would look pretty cool as well 8)

Clearly you and I have have a completely different concept of what a winter beater looks like. Did I sell you some tantrum endcaps? Nice car

How do those tweeters image from there? Is the stage high? I like the out of sight position and upward angle going on. But I'd have thought further away, the other side of the mid, would be better?

actually I,ll have to let you know on that one, when I installed them I didn,t know they were blown till they were in so then I used the stock tweeters (I know boo hiss) in the top corners of the doors by the dash till I can find replacements and the weather gets warm enough to go outside to play :cry:

nice setup. I like the endcaps on those. The GTP was one of my favorite cars of all time. Only bad thing about it was the front wheel drive.
