Peace,

Dont worry thats what I'm here for lol. Its all moved now. BTW Ill post pics of my trunk this weekend :)

[TA^Guy]

Here is ours.

Its a older photo, the arrowhead is now purple with a purple fire extinguisher on one side and a purple mag lite on the other side.

They are 10" Kenwoord Tonado subs powered by a Orion amp. The back of the box has the same angle as the rear seats and sits flush with the seats. Amp is mounted back there with spacers, no over heating problems, been going fine like this for years now. The strut bar has only about 1/4" clearence from the top of the box.

[TA^Guy]

This is it when it had a red neaon tube in it, now it's also purple.

[uk2fans]

2- 10" Audiobahn subs Duel Tuned Bandpass ABP10T
2 Amps- Legacy Blue Diamond & crappy Lightning audio for now to the 6x9's

Can't put a picture of those on....for some reason it keeps saying picture too big even though it's extra small

[inferno]

this is my old setup. i dont have a system in the car anymore as i blew my L7

this is a Kicker L7 in a 2.5 cuft ported box. Ran by a Hifonics BX1500D AMP

Red plexiglass amp rack (attached to back of sub box, making everything 1 piece)...
http://www.n-body.net/registry/matt95gt/normal_dcp05123.jpg

It will be up for sale early this summer since my car has taken a slightly different focus... I want to shed the weight and replace that large/heavy setup for a small 4-channel amp and single sub that's easy to remove for track days.

[sunrunner_pei]

Mine... :lol:

[sunrunner_pei]

For real:

Only difference is that the car is cleaner and dirtier (depending on the day), and that the wires are hidden/routed better. :) Oh, that's an MTX Thunder 6000 12" DVC sub wired to 2 Ohms.

Both amps are mounted inside that 'chamber', and the fans are used to exhaust the hot air. They're controlled by a relay and switch on when the amps are on. Hard to believe, but they make a big difference. :)

[airbornflght]

yeh, i thought about building a amp rack and doing some led fans on it, except if i do it, the fan circuit will be thermally controled and have a manual override. (can you tell im an electronix junkie?)

[tommymcc]

why are they being concealed in the first place? theres no better cooling than just mounting them vertically with about a foot of open space around them, no need to vent them, unless you hide them to prevent them from being stolen, then of course they need some ventilation

I was going for simplicity and practicality. In my '99, I had the amps mounted to the rear seat. But with plans to put crap in the trunk, I didn't want to have the wires exposed like that again. I thought of doing up an elaborate amp rack with the amps exposed and the wires hidden, but time and practicallity became an issue again. Quite simply the amps aren't the prettiest to look at, I was going for function over form. So by hiding them completely I don't have to worry about them getting scratched up with strollers or melting grocery bags, etc.

I have gotten many compliments about the install, and I'm pleased with it for now. Maybe when Evan gets a little older and I can actually listen to my music I'll do something a little more elaborate. But for now this will do. :)

Thermal controls crossed my mind too, but I decided against it. Having the fans run all the time prevents the heat from building up in the first place, and was pretty simple to install. :) Just two 3" 12V computer case fans wired in parallel with in-line fuses to a relay that's controlled by the remote turn-on lead. Power is supplied by the power wire running from the batt for the amps.

[tommymcc]

ah, in my ga i just ran the wires under the carpet on the rear seat, you need to reapply some adhesive to make the carpet stick to the seat again though, i'm referring to the carpet on the back of seat, or you could do it like dave did and mount them on the sids

[sunrunner_pei]

I also didn't want to damage any of the factory trim, cloth, etc. The Grand Am is a lease, I wanted to be able to go back to 100% stock with NO evedence of anything ever being in there. :) Mounting to the seat backs would leave some holes in the carpet.

:agree: if you go back to my pics you will see my amps are mounted on 'stand-offs' this way air can circulate around the entire amp.

but the stealth look like shawn has is kinda cool :)

Yeah I notice I numbered the posts out of order :banghead:

Thanks for the comments, I just got it finished about a week ago. I got to get it metered now, I have the same sub as before, but the box is 1 cubic foot larger and I am running twice as much power to it, 800w RMS. I was only running 400w before and I hit 133db, It feels about twice as loud so I guessing mid 140's

[tenspeed]

OK, you forced me into reveling the prototype I'm working on.
It's called "tenspeed's Party in the Back" featuring the DJ station, wet bar and disco balls. There will be a cattle call for dancing girls in July. Look for it at Albany '06....

[gerald]

i have pictures of whats going in my trunk, but since i havent ran wires yet just imagine a trunk, with this in it.

[gerald]

and this is my amp, not bad considering i got all of that plus wires for $250.

Zach do you have any fans for the amps?

is the sub seperate from the amp section?

[birdhouse]

Zach... How does that sound when your trunk is open, considering with your sub facing that way, it has to use the entire trunk as the box?

[matts]

before and after shots :lol:


before i set the amp on fire

[matts]

after the amp was taken out and used for target practice

[matts]

sub before it headed south

[matts]

whoops, forgot the pic

[inferno]

how did u set the amp on fire?

[matts]

not exactly sure. fuse didnt do it's job and it just popped. i was pushing it pretty hard, and then the sub stopped. i thought the amp just got hot and shut off.......if hardly ever happened, but it happened a couple times. but then i smelt something, looked back and the amp was smoking :lol:

blew the sub in the process too, oh well. it was nice while it lasted. going to put a 15" L7 in it's place eventually, but it'll be after i get our house finished and after the wedding.

[inferno]

lol i blew 2 L7s and they stink when the blow. lol opened my trunk and a bunch of smoke was coming out of the port. lol the whole trunk was full of smoke

[ZACH]

The Amps have fans built in.

The sub box is seperate from the amp area.

Originally posted by birdhouse

It sounds better with the seats down, only because then the sound has a way of getting into the passenger area better. The sub does'nt really see any difference if its mounted the way I have it then if it where mounted the traditional way. I get this question alot, I had the sub mounted that way on my old box also. The only difference is that the "punch" of sound goes into the box, instead of out, but you get basically the same result.

And if anyone thinks (or knows) my reasoning is wrong please let me know and explain.

[gerald]

finally got this hooked up, and boy does it thump!

[gerald]

forgot the picture, heh.

[inferno]

^^^^ size of sub and box?

[nineteen88ga]

I'm gonna guess 12"?

[gerald]

12 in Diamond D1 dual 2ohm voice coil, Audiophonics ADF240 amp bridged at about 400 watts, and a 1.75 cube box, and boy does it hit nice.

[CanadAM]

man bridged is that way to go.

[CanadAM]

so tommymcc, did you get those subs?

[1999grandamse]

This is my old set up, it was alright, kinda inaccurate

[1999grandamse]

This is my new one. The trunk is a bit of a mess because I have yet to clean up the wires, and my previous amp blew, so I had to throw an old 2 channel MTX in the trunk. 12 inch Type S in slot ported box getting ~100watts:(
I'm going to get a Planet Audio 300 watt mono block amp in a month or so

[matts]

i used to have a set of cerwin vega home speakers that would rattle the neighbors pictures. those things were LOUD

[ga5speed02]

those vegas were and still are the :shit: :)

[nineteen88ga]

whats up with everyone bringing back the old school stuff in the gaoc the past few days...dayum!

There use to be a fullsized chevy with 8 vega 10's in myparts...it was insane at the local cruise nights!

[matts]

like i said, i loved those home audio speakers...E315's. they weren't the top of the line, but they hummed pretty good. there was actually one time when i rattled a glass out of the cabinet. i dont remember how much power i had on them, but it was sufficient :P

im going to be in the market for a new better home audio system soon and the vega's are gonna be pretty high on the list

[1999grandamse]

I always had issues finding out how much power to give those Cerwin Vegas because I couldn't find any manuals or anything for these older subs.
Since they looked kinda cheap next to my Type S, I never gave either one more than ~50 watts.

Does anyone know how much power (RMS, duh) the ones I posted handle?

The number "245watts" is on the magnet, but it doesn't say if that is peak or RMS. If it's RMS, you guys will see those subs return to my GA within a month.

[Brandon]

i have vega ls12's in my room (home speakers).... mated with a harman kardon avr 325...... cops have been here once or twice cause of them!

never was a fan of their car audiothough.

[matts]

i've never had any dealings with their car audio. i've seen it used, but i've never personally used it. 245 seems kinda low for them, but i guess im just comparing them to their home audio stuff. if you had them at 50 and they thumped pretty good then it was obviously enough to move them

[bandit307]

Heres mine.

I'm guessing those weren't Vega series Cerwin Vegas then? A Vega 12" should handle 500W RMS no problem, IIRC. 500W RMS was the rating but they could handle more. But if yours said 245W then I'm guessing they couldn't be Vegas, but some other Series.

If it said 245W on them, that means the very least you could give them would be ~125W but knowing CW that very well could have been the RMS rating of the sub.

how much did that solo x run you? i wanted to buy one of the 12s when they first came out, but they wanted $1000 for it. i fell in love with them the first time i saw one of the 18s, then fell even harder for it when i heard it :lol:. they hurt

are you giving it 4400 watts RMS?

[Lash]

Yeah...Solo x's can get a little loud :P

[sik soundz]

how much did that solo x run you? i got mine from a dealer friend of mine so lets just say dirt cheap are you giving it 4400 watts RMS? yup u bet your azz but im looking into getting another 4400 watt amp and run 4400 to each voice coil the sub can handle 10,000 watts

[sik soundz]

i got the solo -x dirt cheap under 600 but over 300 lol and yes im giving it 4400 watts but want more voltage looking for a 300 amp alt any 1 know were i can find 1 for a ga 2.2l ecotec?????

[matts]

10,000? is that the 18? or have they upgraded their voice coils? used to the 10/12 would take 2500 RMS and 5000 peak.


i would say you got it cheap then. is it stolen? :lol: if i could have gotten one that cheap i'd have one right now........or i would have bought one. i might have destroyed it by now :P

[Lash]

lol...I dont think they even make em that big for the eco. You may have to get a custom jober....or go with duals.

Check j-body.org audio section. 1 or 2 people are in the process of dual alt. set-ups. They may be able to guide you in the process...or atlest help you find the biggest alt. for you car.

[sik soundz]

10,000? is that the 18? or have they upgraded their voice coils? used to the 10/12 would take 2500 RMS and 5000 peak.
no the 12 is 5000 watts peak but u can burp them at 10,000 watts no problem
as for j-body nothing yet but ty for posting i was trying to stay away from dual alts only 1 company makes them at 300 amps but @795.00way to much cash if u ask me

[matts]

well more power to you and all, but honestly why would you want a system in a daily driver that you can't really use? yes you can turn it on low volumes, but you can't really crank it up if you're running that much power when it's not rated for it. you could unhook the amp when you're not at a competition, but that would get old.



and yeah, $800 is rediculous

[sik soundz]

well all i would have to do is turn the gains down to accomadate that but yea i love loud and i will allways have a loud azz system + i have 2 diffrent boxes i use 1 for streat beats and the other for spl only but when u turn the gains down then i can listen to it cranked up with no distortion i couldnt do that with my mtx rfl so i changed the system and am really happy with the solo-x thay kick azz

Thanks. All the wiring i did myself. With the help of the local installer. He drilled a hole in my firewall for me for free :D

[CanadAM]

couldnt you of used the gromment ... that already existed

[LuckyT]

Havent been on here in quite some time but I figured I would go ahead and post pics of old setups I have had in my GA. Since I am a SPL competitor you wont see any finishing work while I was competitng with this car, everything chages too often to do any finish work :D, I have since finished the GA up since I now have 2 other car devoted to SPL but havent gotten pics yet. will try to get some on here later if I remember to visit this site again sometime in the next 6months, lol

I fit 0 ga wire through the existing grommet, so believe me, it would have fit. :D

[matts]

nice setup lucky

[dcblackbird]

could we have this as a stick in the audio forum. kinda like the members rides forum?

i think this slides of the list too much then ppl make there own trunk threads, and forget bout this.

just a suggestion :)

[Big Joe]

[matts]

[nineteen88ga]

[Big Joe]

Yeah we're all screwed if we get a flat.

[matts]

AAA won't do you much good if you can't get the tire itself out. they dont make a habit of giving you a tire :lol: so guess again, you're still screwed

[dcblackbird]

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v313/dcblackbird/100_2111.jpg
sub, idk if i want the plastic surrounding back in, too much rattle. and hhaving my subs sealed from my trunk there is so much less external rattling. it sounds great.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v313/dcblackbird/100_2103.jpg
if anyone remebers what my trunk used to look like, this is quite a bit messier. i needed some room.

I would like a more finished look but its probly gunna be a while before anything happens. this works fine.

heres what my trunk looked like the other week.

ive been meaning to ask you how you liked the 6.5 fronts, because im been considering doing the same thing.

[Jibo]

6.5 fronts are 10 million times better than 4x6 's :)

[red98grandamse]

^^:agree: Ive got cheap 6.5s up front and even they sounds better than 4x6's

I just blew out a tire the other day. Called AAA got a tow truck and had it towed to a tire place about 30 miles away, all for free.

AAA is only like $75 a year and they will tow upto 100 miles for free, bring you gas, unlock your car, get discounts on hotels etc. I had my car towed 96 miles when I blew up the tranny. Well worth the cost.

[dcblackbird]

i saw a few random trunk threads so i figured i'd bump it...

[wild_card_06]

Here is mine.

[djdanger]

Well, here is a pic of my meek set up, with the temporary subs. I do love the fact that if I have a flat, the spare tire is easy to get to.

i like that looks good. i like how the subs flow with the outside lines of the trunk. hope that made scence

[djdanger]

it did, thank you!!!....ooops, lol.....wrong one....

lol

your setup looks nice. after i had my system built i tought i had enough room to take out my spare but my box is just a little over my cover so i cant :(

looking good

[djdanger]

I went through 5 different designs before I came up with that one. My first car that I competed with in the late 80's and early 90's had 8 15's in it. No spare at all on the car. After the first time I had a flat, I vowed never to do something like that again. Have to admit, I sometimes miss the 15's though.

meter was a term lab metered at the dash

nice solo x. great stuff. what kind of amp/wattage you got pushing that beast?

at the momment im running a ma audio 802sx 4400 watts high current compition amp

couple of things - I've been an SPL guy for a number of years, and have YET to see a 50 out of anything with a trunk and that small a box. Got video of the run?

Second, the MA amp is nice (I sell the entire anaba line) but it don't make anywhere near 4400wrms. Just like the V4000XD (Visonik digital monoblock) thats "rated" at 4400 wrms. They actually make about 2800 wrms and consume a buttload of current doing it.....

Not trying to stir the pot - but there's just NO WAY that Solo in that small a box with that small a port with that amp is a 150+ on the TL...... as a comparison, I've built a CRX (loudest street chassis out there) with a PAIR of RE 06XXX12's running a Visonik 4000XD. He also had 3 batteries, a 240amp alternator, and multiple runs of 1/0. He can't break a 148 on the TL.... that includes full CRX box design, external Aeroports, etc...see what I mean?

for those not familiar:

The 06XXX12 is a 13" tall, 87 lb monster that offers almost 5" of linear, one-way excursion. Thats a pic of the new XXX beside an old one.

This install is ONLY a 147.x

oh shit I hear ya man - i've been into the SPL stuff for a long time now, and the ears and vehicles just can't take it. Gonna do something vastly more practical in the new winter beater (the 96 GA) with a single DD3512 and BIG power :)

[traingeek087]
