After last week getting the flu and this week it turns into bronchitis I still have managed to brace my sub box, put in binding post terminals, and mount and wire my subs for 1000 wrms each @ 2 ohms and install the box in my Z! Damn I'm tired.....that sucker weighs 86lbs!





Theres some EXCURSION room with those surround rubbers!!!LOL!






Tomorrow I mount the Kicker KX2500.1 amp on the amp rack!

SLOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWW but SURE!

 

you planning on keeping your stock headunit?

 

Nope .....this baby has been waiting several months!!!!

 

Those subs are great. I have 2 12" Q's in my Cobra and 1 18" BTL in the expedition. I will be doing to same setup as you except a differnt amp in the Z

 

Where'd you get those grilles? I need something like that.

 

i believe www.partsexpress.com has those grills

 

thanks... just bought 2 http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/pshow...TOKEN=47340089

 

Thats where I got them. I had to taper the inside mount plates to a spear like point to get them to fit between the subs since they are so big. That is why they are diagonally mounted.

 

wow what is that?

 

Sony WX-7700MDX Head Unit.

Made and sold in Japan and Honk Kong by Sony. Not released in the U.S.A.
Actually its around a 4 year old HU but looks great in the Z. I was told it was actually a optional HU in Japan for the Z.
You can buy a worldwide version (ie will work with US radio stations) from sunlightltd in Hong Kong here.....

Hope this helps.......

 

Thanks. Just ordered one.

 

audio enhancers amkes grills like that but chrome

 

i just finally did mine.. man they were a b!tch to get to line up and still be on the box..

sorry for the sh!tty cell cam pics.. my D70 isn't around

 

should beat hard

 

i hope so.. i am more interested in SQ.. but i hope they do me justice with SPL also

 

Yep....those grills where a Bi.....tich! Did you put spacers under your grills? Your surrounds look as large as mine so you should have some major excursion. I have 3/4" from the top of the surround "bubble" to the grill crossbar. Scott, who owns FI subs, gave me that spec. Scott by the way engineered RE subs, then broke away from RE Audio to start his own company FI Audio in Las Vegas. GREAT guy! I almost got the RE's till I found FI.
Nice setup. What model RE subs did you get? What are the US amps rated at?

 

i got the SE Subs... didn't think of spacers... now i am a little worried... i have the Merlin MD1D (750 watts @ 2 ohm) for the sub and Merlin MD23 (300 watts in 4 ohm) for the front components and tweets.

 

i hope you get the SQ from them

by boy has 2 each FI 15" in a Camry ported and he runs them with a RF t20001BD on each

2850 watts to each sub

5700 watts total

very loud

i do not like the way they sound

let me know if you get the sound your reaching for


good luck

looks great

 

Did your buddy have the "Q" or the "BTL" model ... the BTL is the one the intraweb fanboys went googoo over and ended up not sounding so hot and then mass dumping followed (they now obsess over 10yr old blown DD subs )

The Q is actually a pretty nice sounding sub (especially those 10s).

 

Why did you feel you needed the bracing inside?
