I tried the factory sub spot with all kinds of applications and didnt sound wright. Then went with a box under the strut tower and didnt have enough air space for it to sound wright. So I went with a custom built box.....it takes up the back, but sounds great and definately enough airspace. I will also include a pic of the other side of the strut tower...thats where the amp rack is. I dont travel with this car and you wouldnt fit much luggage there anway. Does anybody else have any better ideas, and has anyone had to go to this extreme with there sound system?

 

you got 2 amps MA audio and 3 diamond audio subs i think i am seeing

i like it

but power wise i not thinking your extreme

nice to see someone doing something different

have you metered that yet ?

 

Have not had them metered. Reason for going with MA is they take an unregulated power supply and are stable 1/2 ohm. They also can be piggy backed(that part you cant see) to make to amps into a "extreme" amp. It throws out alot of power. I have a 2000 watt power cap running from a second battery then to the amps. Hope that answered. And thanks for compliment.

 

has the quality of ma amps gotten any better?

 

I am running 4 tens.... on a JL 1000w monoblock.

 

appears to be a sealed enclosure ?

i can get MA very in-expensive
they are good bang for the buck
however with the MA amps you really don't want to use if you can;t maintain voltage

their hk 4000 & hk 10,000 don't dare dip in the 12 to 12.5 volt zone or the user will be sorry

i have a 12" ma audio sub in a slot port in my wifes car she loves it

i would guess you will meter on tones around 135-138 on the TL sealed up , and 143- 147 on the ac sealed up

350's do way better in outlaw than legal

but i appreciate the direction you went

 

ma is good for the money but again with their amps maintain 13 volts or better always

 

pics please

 

The 2000 watt power cap had a digital display and is switched to 15 volts, so I am giving it all I can. And those amps have come along way or I wouldnt of put it in with such expensive subs. They are fairly cheap amps, but damn do they throw out some power at 1 ohm or below. And yes the box is sealed. We are currently working on a ported box. Thanks SPL for the info and will definately take any advice. Im sure you can vouge for the Diamond Subs, as far as being in the top end of there class.

 

The Diamond D9's are awesome subs. If they weren't so damn deep I would have used one in my strut tower box. So I went with the D6. I have been using Diamond subs for many years now and love them. This is my first voyage with the Diamond components and am pretty impressed with them as well.

 

I dont like it man. To each is own though. For example wtf are the monitors in the head rest for the car is a 2 seater. Painting misc plastic pieces orange I dont know just not feeling it. To each is own though.

 

i like diamond subs

your using 1 amp on mids and highs
the other on lows

how much power are the 3 subs sharing?

ported is the way to go , but i am guessing we do not have enough room to do 3 each 12" ported

maybe 2
