false floor as in the amp cover??? if ur talking about that i just used 1/4 inch pegboard crap.. for the enclosure i used 3/4 mdf... look at my websire on cardomain.com link is somewhere in this thread to see

hey tru681 the dei i have is there gen 1 1100d which got great reviews but i heard the latest stuff wasnt to good.. but do you think im gonna benifit by putting a 500/1 and taking the 1100d away... or should i just get a 1000/1 for it...

Kel Rx8

thanks yeah the amp rack, Ive seen the pegboard used often but trying to see if a noticeable difference between msd & pegboard or plywood
enclosure I always used mdf
thanks again

Well, the 500/1 JL slash is perfect for 1-10w7 setup. I will get the 500/1 if I'm planning to stick with that set-up & wont be changing it. If you plan on adding another sub or replacing it with a more power hungry sub in the near future, I would definately get the 1000/1 for now & just turn the gains all the way down on the amp for your 10w7. Oh yea, the older DEI stuff is definately better built & higher quality & the new stuff I heard is crap. The way car audio works these days is more power=better product, that's what they are trying to amke us think & it definately tricked most of us out there. These days most companies tries to built the beefiest amps instead of putting up quality all around it ,they focus on putting out as much watts as they can. That's why most old school gear will be better than the new generation stuff. Also, I've seen alot of popular old school gear that's made in the early 90's that still goes for well over $1000 because it's known to be top quality stuff & way out performs the newer generation stuff.

i really dont think im gonna go any larger then a 10 anymore.. then again i said that with 12'2 then i put 4 - 15's in my older car.. its sad to say im getting older and its time to tone it down SOME not much but some.. i am gonna get a 500/1 and see what sounds better.. the one problem i have right noe with the converter is that i set the volume at say 10 and the bass is still strong.. and it seems i have alot of vocals in my sub which i cant stand.. the dei amp doesnt have a cross over on it i dont think... so i need to elimiante that. it hink the jl amp has all those gadgits.

This is the setup that i am using in my car now.
2 12" pioneer premier subs with a 500/1 JL amp
A fiberglass box that me and a friend made.

mrkinn

hey kevin how does that sound.. are you under powing those subs with a 500/1 does that 500/1 have a bulit in cross over in it to take out the voicals in the subs??

Not to hijack the thread, but what are you guys using as a ground point for your setups? I have a small system right now, not drawing a lot of power, so i wasn't all **** about having the best ground point. But after seeing this thread, I think i want to go with a similar setup and i'd just like to know where you guys are grounding.

Kel Rx8

grounded my amp to the trunk,I found no need to run back to battery
take off the black cover (pop up) that is over the trunk latch U will see a ground on a 12mm bolt.

mrkinn

yea thats where i grounded the cover that covers the taillights and hatch hooker deal. i just scrapped some paint away and with a self tapper grounded it.

I know this post is two years old but... any finished pics on Tru's setup... and I have to agree abotu the old school stuff. I had an Orion HCCA, honking anodized and etched aluminum, red amp that ran 800x1 into 1(Birth SHeet 1277x1 into 1ohm) and that was the best sub amp I'ver personally every worked with. It has no later then late 90's. I ran so many different setups with that amp in multiple different cars. That amp got passed through a combination of 5 of my freinds and was still KICKING. I would roughly estimate that that amp had been installed in 20 different systems, running anywhere from 1 sub to 4... All applications were happy as long as they got the right power/impedance matchup.

Pics of the Junk in my trunk. Its LOUD to say the least, sounds pretty good to boot 2 x 10w7 DLS A6 DLS IR8.3's upfront and a DLS A3. Trunk Done in Suede and Leather.

gaximus

How does it sound face the rear compartment. does it rattle or anything while its closed

This is what I want to do to my 8, The new Skyline has a nice setup (IMO).
I'm not sure but I think it is doable

I just put in a 12 inch L5 with a zenclosures box, and 750 RMS amp, I'm gonna take some pics in the morning with some good lighting, it turned out real well and I was happy with the install from Custom Sounds here in Austin, even though they were expensive.

these have been seen before, but I'll add to the back from the dead thread:







we've since changed up a few things, like redid the decklid piece, and we filled in the corners behind the amps with some covered pieces where I park little 1/24th Rx-8's during car shows I"ll have more recent pics after next weekend's show.
