so heres my setup. it gets alot of attention.

pioneer DEH-P980BT HU

2 8" digital design 1508's
powered by 1200w JBL GTO1201.1
in a full acrylic ported enclosure.

after market pioneer components
powered by 200w pioneer amp
stock pioneer tweeters.

the only thing i have right now is a video of the system playing at normal volume. tomorrow or wednesday ill go out and take stills with it lit up and with the amps covered and ill do another video of it at competition level.

its been metered doing ~132
it hadnt been tuned, it was hot out, and we were having troubles with the termlab and tones we were using. dont under estimate that number tho...its louder and i know it. you'd be shocked if u ever got to hear it in person.

so for now. this is all you get.

comments or questions, commence.

 

that box looks a little big

 

that sicccckkk

 

looks cool, Why are both subs like right next to each other? Shouldn't they be spaced out a little?

 

nice lookin and not bad preformance for some 8's lol

 

i guess the vid makes it look big bc with all the space i still have in the trunk..its pretty small

with the way the box was designed they had to be set that way
dont worry, i asked the same question. and many others lol

for 8's they pound. i always get asked if i have a 15 or 2 12's
no dudddeeee. just my two "boom boom mini 8's"

one day ill get a decal that says my 8's are louder than ur 12's.
coming soon lol

 

nice thats the DD box i can tell. honestly give it a few months before you go on the termlab. make sure you dont have distortion but let the dds break in a lil bit and you should gain quite a bit there. I would also try to put the amps on the back seat or in some sort of false floor and try moving the box back (towards the rear bumper) a few inches or so. see what happens

 

i like the sound!!

been awhile since i could honestly say that around here lol :-P

perhaps i should take a couple vids soon too.

 

whats the wattage, i know DD's can get loud but i dont think they would hit like 2 12's

 

lol i didnt see an "i like" comment on my tweeter pods? WTF. lol jk man giving you a hard time

hell ya we all need to get some vids up. i think theres only been 2 vids i can remember... the dual mtx 9515 guy and the dual jl w1 12s guy

the 8s are rated at 450rms. 2 of the exact same 1500 12s would be louder but its always nice to show people what smaller stuff can do. Hence why my boss doesnt always want me to demo my system. we've done several double 12's that "sound" about as loud as mine. (especially at high notes) but for the lows im king. plus whats more impressive to someone who has never herd of a shop before? 2 12s doing a 145 or 2 15 doing a 148?

 

the 15's would be tighter cuz urs do 148 at like 30 hz

can you do hair tricks at low notes?

 

**** ya... mind you i dont really play tones any more ive found the song that sounds perfect in my car. Just playing it in the bay at the shop it not only flexes my car and windows, it shakes all the windows in the shop (even up front) so you can go outside and easily notice the rattling around the whole building. It also makes all the subs in the demo room physically move from the vibrations

Its pretty crazy

 

oh jeez emp u know i respect yur work already! i didn't wanna overload you with "i like" 's because people would start getting the wrong impression between us. lol but every time i look at your stuff it makes me wanna spend more money. going complete show car status like you is way too expensive of an option for me :-P and now this trisha girl comes around and doing it to me too with equipment. haha

I dunno why there are people out there that underestimate smaller subs. the sound you get is much more crisp inherently. box design and size also plays a huge role. overall she's got a setup that'd probably eat most the peoples in here once those dd's break in a bit more.

Ohhhhh....ummmmmmm Emp.....I'm sorry but i gotta break it to ya.....I played a 5.1 dts movie in my car today, with a speaker i put temporarily in the center.

sooooooo technicallly.....your gonna kill me now? :-P

 

damn im hoping to at least be able to pull up at a stop light and shake the cars around me. my friends tell me that if im bumpin it behind them they can feel there steering wheel vibirating (with my old g5's)

 

I like the way we completely jacked this thread. but yes time for death and destruction.

How did it sound?

 

the subs are broken in. a friend of mine had them before i bought them and TRUST, he broke them in well. i need to get it back on the termlab now that theyr tuned, andddd before it gets too hot.

ive attempted to bassrace with them in the 120-129.9 class, but bc we were havent problems with the laptop AND my headunit...that didnt work out as well as i had planned.

i <3 my DD's.
haha, that sounds so wrong.

 

that's because it is! haha

those must be a real strain on the back hahahaha

emp-
it sounded pretty damn decent to be honest. wasn't a big wow, but it was cool.

 

Sounds nice!

 

well if its not a big wow then **** it. im hoping to be wowed once i get mine done

i figure someone here will get wet when they see this bad boy

grrrrr lol

 

Nice setup. For some reason it just looks appealing to the eyes off the bat.

JBL Amp looks beastly.

 

yeah DD are nice subs but that box is hideous imo. also why 8's?

 

lol you know what i mean. if it didnt sound super awesome then you just need to figure out why or assume why (of course a speaker just chilling on the dash isn't going to be best) and fix it prior to the final build

one thing i always tell everyone is no matter what you have to make sure your happy with what you got and most importantly paid for. Think what would have happened if i actually gave a damn what people thought? i mean look at my dual alt thread and see how many pos comments there are vs the neg's....

if your doing it to just do it thats fine but if not do what it takes to make urself happy... only you know what that is

 

EmperorJJ1 = Knows nothing about car audio.

 

**** might as well. i just reread said dual alt thread and **** i sorta got pissed. lol maybe one of these days when im done ill try for cotm and all you ******* better vote for me (even if i know nothing about car audio... shhh chris they dont know that yet. ill tell em once i win)
