I love it. When I crank it up there is so much sound pressure it makes breathing a noticable job. You Da' Man Dude Thanks |
Silver Member Username: OlegSanta Monica, CA USA Post Number: 628 Registered: Nov-04 | Nothing beats advice when someone has actually tested the stuff. We beat the amp senseless and that's the best test I can give it lol I'm glad you like it...never gets hot, eh? |
Bronze Member Username: Pete_the_pupGaffney, Sc Usa Post Number: 13 Registered: Feb-07 | I mounted it under the driver seat, and so far it hasn't even got real warm. I only have 1 sub wired up right now. 1 ohm load. the only way i could wire 2 it would be 2ohm or 1/2ohm or get different subs with dual 4ohm v/c. |
Silver Member Username: OlegSanta Monica, CA USA Post Number: 636 Registered: Nov-04 | *cough*different subs*cough* lol Read this thread... https://www.ecoustics.com/electronics/forum/car-audio/278071.html dude is running it at .44ohm load. |
Silver Member Username: OlegSanta Monica, CA USA Post Number: 637 Registered: Nov-04 | Oh and I'd try to add the other sub, too. Series each sub's coils and then parallel the subs together to get 2ohms. See how they sound, if good...problem solved. Damping factor will also increase with the increased resistance. |
Bronze Member Username: Pete_the_pupGaffney, Sc Usa Post Number: 14 Registered: Feb-07 | So I could run it a .5 ohm as long as i keep an eye on the temp. like with a infrared thermometer. If it starts getting hot turn it down or turn it off? |
Silver Member Username: OlegSanta Monica, CA USA Post Number: 638 Registered: Nov-04 | I can't personally recommend that b/c I don't want you to ruin your stuff. It seems to have worked for that guy and I don't think it'll overheat, but you would need to keep an eye on it. I don't want to tell you to try it, then have it mess up...I'd feel bad. If you feel like it'll work, try it. I'd actually try the 2ohm load first and see how you like that. |
Bronze Member Username: MmaudioconceptsMurray, KY Post Number: 98 Registered: Jan-07 | how r those FUBR working for you,,,on hear they say they suck...but from people i know ive been told they are great spl subs |
Bronze Member Username: Pete_the_pupGaffney, Sc Usa Post Number: 15 Registered: Feb-07 | For me they "kick butt" and take names. I've had um' in a GT40 with a BOSS RIPPER amp and they would blow your head off becouse they were right behind you at shoulder level. The mids and tweets didn't have a chance. If SPL means Sound Pressure Level. Yes they can and will (i won't use the word hurt) but i'll say make it uncomforatable to be in close proximity. |
Silver Member Username: OlegSanta Monica, CA USA Post Number: 639 Registered: Nov-04 | Do they sound good at all or are they sloppy? Do they hit a lot harder with the orion? |
Bronze Member Username: Pete_the_pupGaffney, Sc Usa Post Number: 16 Registered: Feb-07 | With the Boss they were quite muddy. It didn't have the freq. adj. like the Orion. I mostly listen to hard classic rock which is more melodic than todays music that has the HIT in which you speak, but yes with the Orion the bass is tighter, cleaner and I have to keep adjusting my rearview mirror cause it vibrates loose. (the only thing i ain't done is glued it in place)and that's with just 1 10" sub. |
Bronze Member Username: MmaudioconceptsMurray, KY Post Number: 99 Registered: Jan-07 | have you heard the MOFOs? |
Bronze Member Username: Pete_the_pupGaffney, Sc Usa Post Number: 17 Registered: Feb-07 | No! I can't say that i have. I'm no expert or can not even say knowledgable about drivers and such, but i know what i like. I have found that even a cheap driver can sound good in a box built for it or a tpo off the line driver will sound like crap in a box made like it. |
Silver Member Username: OlegSanta Monica, CA USA Post Number: 641 Registered: Nov-04 | Cool cool...so are you gonna try hooking up the 2nd sub? I wanna see how it goes |
Bronze Member Username: Pete_the_pupGaffney, Sc Usa Post Number: 18 Registered: Feb-07 | Yeeeah! (that southern for yes) I have a sealed box made for the FUBR. I can mount one in it and plug um' in and see what falls off my truck next!! |
Silver Member Username: OlegSanta Monica, CA USA Post Number: 642 Registered: Nov-04 | you're saying your box only lets you hook up 1 at a time? |
Bronze Member Username: Pete_the_pupGaffney, Sc Usa Post Number: 19 Registered: Feb-07 | yes! they're individual boxes. I have (2) .5 cu. ft. sealed boxes and 1 ported tube that i made. |
Silver Member Username: OlegSanta Monica, CA USA Post Number: 643 Registered: Nov-04 | ahhhh alright lemme know when you do it....pics?? |
Bronze Member Username: Pete_the_pupGaffney, Sc Usa Post Number: 20 Registered: Feb-07 | I don't have access to a scanner and besides I'm at work, ( don't have a computer at home, I have to pack a lunch to go to the mail box) I'm gonna try it this weekend and i'll fill ya' in Monday. Besides my homade tube ain't purr-dy, but it rocks the truck |
Silver Member Username: OlegSanta Monica, CA USA Post Number: 644 Registered: Nov-04 | lol sounds good! |

Bronze Member Username: Pete_the_pupGaffney, Sc Usa Post Number: 21 Registered: Feb-07 | Well!! I did it. Hooked up both subs and thanks to "Oleg" my truck not only provides valuable transportation, it now has therapeutic properties. When i get a sore back I just put in the earplugs, load up "Rush" 2112 "AHHHH" instant massage. Just a hair past half volume the metal building about 20 ft. from where I park starts to rattle. PtP is a Happy "REDNECK" thanks again Oleg. Pete The Pup |
