Phoenix Gold Phorum

I am helping out an old Soundbuggy customer with his install in a Jetta. So far I gutted his Punch 200ix amps and replaced the power supply MOSFETs, plus he had them powder coated to match his car.

I helped him come up with a box in the spare tire well, and he will be running 3 JL 8W7s.

wow now if he would sand the top and polish it those amps would look sick.

wouldnt believe how many i did back in the day.

I owned a set of three RF amps which were sanded and polished on the top (250.2, 50.2, and 400.4 all with links). In photos they looked sweet, so I went ahead and bought them. In person I did not like the look of them at all, so I turned around and sold them. This guy may like that idea, but I am not so sure. Now, fully polishing the amps really looks great in my opinion.

looks good eric...keep us updated please.

Where did you find those 8W7's? I've been looking for one for quite awhile.

I know a guy that has one in a 1 cf ported box off of the JL 250/1 hitting 138s in a newer Dakota. HIGHLY IMPRESSED! 3 of those sealed should kick some ass. BTW, he's selling his w/the box. $400 + S&H Although I feel it's steep price, but I will vouch that it is in mint condition and only used for 2 months.

These 8W7s were bought off eBay, the only source we could find. There are no more JL dealers in our area.

We hooked these up to a bd1000 today for testing purposes, and I am not too impressed with the output. I am very impressed with the quality low bass, but I thought it would be a bit louder considering the displacement.

Yes, but they're sealed. Port those bitches and they'll amaze you.
