im trying to talk to one guy but i dont think hes been online in the last day. Tonight im going to trim the encloure and hopefully make rings. i have i think another new idea for the amp rack so ill see what i decide

nebster

talk to chille he works at eD

rvpps2rocks

what would i ask him about?

nebster

the amp?

call up eD for the rings. they'll get you them next week

rvpps2rocks

i think im guna try and make a circle jig tonight ...would chille be able to get me a discount on the amp?

nebster

he's selling a used one for 200. unless he sold it already.

Your talking about a 1400 watt amp...where are you getting the power from to push this amp? haha not from your stock alt....With a paint job like that, go BIG or don't do it at all. Buy Quality products and you won't be let down.

Well minor update got rings done about 2 hours ago here some pix\
retarded black man wanted to be in the picture...lol no offence to anyone he is my friend...but going on





yes i know the outer ring is a lil thin but i was told i can still work with it. It was my first time using a router and i made my own circle jig so i am very proud of that.

damn dat came out great! watching continues! r u gonna paint it the same color as ur car?

rvpps2rocks

lol everyone asks that and no im not im gunna wrap just not sure what though. And I ALSO bought an ed NINe.1 from stereofrontier on icixsound for 200 shipped so that will be powering my 2 beasty subs

ok i have to stop you all.

first of all i run 3 pdx's in my car. AND ive worked in a very nice stereo shop in my hometown.

its not that you dont have to take the pdx down to 1 ohm ITS THAT YOU CANT. that amplifier is designed to run at 2 or 4 ohms at 14.4 v and produced 1000watts RMS. now if you go out and buy any amplifier for less than 800-900 (except a crossfire) you will be given a PEAK power rating meaning that that is the most that amplifier can produced wide open with a bunch of distortion.

the pdx is clean and powerful. it made a customer of mines nose literally bleed. i love mine as well and it loves me back.

another thing. if you have two dual 2 ohm subs you are going to want to SERIES your subs to raise the ohmage of each sub to 4 ohms. then you want to find an amplifier stable to 2 ohms (in other words it makes peak power safely at 2 ohms) and run the speaker leads into chs 1 and 2. the amplifier will see a 2 ohm load because you have paralleled your connection and be happy and run cool.

IF YOU DO IT THE OTHER WAY: you will burn your amplifier up because your ohms will way way too low/unstable.

haha i'm running two of the nine.1's off the stock alt with a nine.2x. apprx 3500 watts. works fine man. eD is quality

nebster

the rings look great but you might want to take a dremel and cut a little lip around the outside so you have somewhere to staple the fleece too.



that will make life a lot easier

rvpps2rocks

K enrique..lol take it easy man jk
no i will be running it at 2 ohms not 1 ohm my miscalculation. the nine.1 will be able to give it 450w @ 2ohms. You think there will be alot of diffence in 50 watts. Anwyas 1 sub was loud at 500w @ 1 ohms so ill see how loud 2 subs are at 450@ 2ohm

rvpps2rocks

well i got the rings in today and the fleece wrapped but im wayy too tired to get pics up now. ill get some up tomorrow

Dakine

excited!!!

Enrique9876

just trying to save you some money.

rvpps2rocks

yea and i aprecciate it but 450 is a lil pricey on my budget. cuz all this is outta my wallet and time and my own labor. Do you not think the 9.1 wouldnt be suffice?

tCtCtC

watching...

nebster

man you know nothing about other companies other than alpine. the nine.1 is rated at 1200 watts @ 1ohm, 12 volts and that is an RMS rating. at 14.4 it puts out approx 1500 @ 1 ohm RMS. you need to read and i know PLENTY of other companies that put out their amp in rms wattage than just alpine. to say that alpine owns all is a falsitude in fact i despise alpines stuff minus their HU's. there are tons of amps for under 800-900 that are great. examples: dls, zapco, eD, us amps, etc... the fact that you said ohmage makes you lose all credibility to me. additionally rvpps just use this. it will help you wire your subs. if you have 2 d2's just wire them in series and present the nine.1 with a 2 ohm load. remember its rated at 450 watts RMS at 12.2 volts. when you're car is on you'll have 14 ish volts and be getting about 650 rms so you should be louder than what you had before. and 450 for a used amp is a horrible deal. you got a great deal on the nine.1 don't listen to enrique he doesn't know ____ about any other company than alpine and even with alpine i question his ability
