Now on to the soft relays...

That is why I worked so hard trying to find out why? I believe in the P-99, and the PB amps too. I knew it got to be some thing else it was worth the effort and wait.

Yes tell me what to get for the PB amp. please

Turn out to be a great audio meeting

3 SQ cars
3 SPL

I think others came after I left... I listen to my SQ-CD in most of them, I lost my hearing in a couple of them!

Small update!

Mid-Bass are punching 150 watts (100 watts before)

I really need 36 hours/day

Same amplifier on the mids?

The Mids & Tweets get 75 watts from the PB Asa1100.5x





The midbass gets 150 watts from my old GM-x1024

Sqcomp, you are right when you talk about headroom and I can't imagine how good 300 watts for mid-bass would be!

When cranking up the volume and my mid-bass started to fail I used to say: "My speakers can't handle any more" I sort of blame on the speaker it self, but now I'm understanding it's the Amp that starts sending noise into the speaker and less music. I know the speakers make a difference too, so it's relative with my thoughts.

I'm amazed on what 50 extra Watts did to my system.

MWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

How about 450 Watts at 4 Ohms on the L6SE's?

MWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!



450 x 2 for the mid bass speakers

another one of these for the sub. I'm estimating around 1300 Watts @ 4 Ohms for the 15" (one of these surfboards puts out 2700 x 1 at 2 Ohms). The mids and tweets have a slightly smaller four channel for them @ 120 x 2 and 240 x 2.

If I start seeing dimming form the load on the electrical system, I'll get a drop in alty.

[derickveliz2]

Wow!

Sqcomp... are you going surfing or snow-boarding!

Sweet.

I need Jim to get my I6SW ready for next week, please let him know I'm calling him and if you mind making a copy of the CD we talked about, I'll appreciate it.

[sqcomp]

Drop me an e-mail about the CD. Remind me what I'm doing for you...it's been a while.

..and yes, I'll be doing both surfing and snowboarding! :) I'll report to you how the system works with this much headroom and control. Something tells me it'll be juuuust fine.

You could also look at thread-serts. They're like the ones I used in my A-pillars for the L4 baffle.

Also, take a look at what I have access to:



Something tells me you may want this reference disc? I can burn you a copy...

Yes please!

[sqcomp]

Got it...

I'll trade you a picture for a picture:



That's Aaron, one of the guys at the shop. He's right at 6'2". That gives another idea of how big the amplifiers is.

[derickveliz2]

I think you need a roof rack! I'm jealous!

If we count the tiles it's a little over 3.5 feet or 42 inches.

I dunno if the two channel is big enough...

I dunno if the Yaris is big enough for all this... LOL


Man matching the angles of the Mids on the A-pillars it's not easy.

I haven't actually had my hands on the amps yet. On Monday, I'll be up at the shop to continue work on the L6SE kicks...placing/aiming and glassing the baffles. Hopefully I can get them essentially finished. I have to lay down some more glass today and use some short strand on the inside just to build up the inside and even the surfaces out.

I've taken out the amp board that held the LRx's. I'm conceiving of several ways of placing the amplifiers. I REALLY want to keep the woofer inverted to show off the magnet. I'm considering running the amps in a north/south configuration...parallel with the front of the car...sort of angled as well as to be placed around the woofer, one on each side of it (the two big ones) and one in back of it closer to the seats by the Bit One.

Thinking, planning...

enough about me, what is going on with your mids? I noticed the picture on the last page with the wood baffle...what was that about?

If you are talking about this picture is from another DIYMA member at the Massachusetts meet.





If you are talking about this picture, yes they are out of the spheres going off axis on the a-pillars
