4 btl 18s, 4 memphis 4kws *Pics and vids

Gold Member Username: TejcurrentPost Number: 1364 Registered: Apr-07 | Ok, I'm almost ready to turn things up. Most people on here know I have 4 Memphis 4kws and 4 Fi BTL 18s, and that's what I'm still running. Just installed 4 alternators (3 Iraggi 380s and my stock 130.) MLA module (they are awesome). And a bunch of other crap. I have to get a roll or two of 1/0 in before I can turn things up all the way- but it's at about 1/2 volume now (8000rms). Just thought I'd post a few pics and vids before I get metered tonight. Should still be plenty (3-5db) left in it before rebuilding ;) As soon as the spools of 1/0 come in I'll clean things up and clean the wiring up. All 4 alts are running, although it took a ton of work and the belt wasn't long enough to fit. No where had a long enough belt so until I order one I'm only on 3 of 4 idler bearings- but hey it works     [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4GntUrXZUEE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4GntUrXZUEE[/url] [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u3CcyxzYQo0]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u3CcyxzYQo0[/url] Hopefully some scores tonight. |

Gold Member Username: TejcurrentPost Number: 1365 Registered: Apr-07 | I'm still not touching Steve Meade, but thanks for the compliments. Maybe with a bunch more work I'll get close, but by then he'll probably be on to bigger/better things lol.. Gibson, it has a dramatic influence on the performance, but I don't really have the belt/pulleys like I will when I get a bigger belt so I don't know what kind of difference it will make. I'm either going to get a cr0tch-rocket, or dual exhaust and new computer tune (guaranteed 30-50rwhp from the shop)- so that should help some. It has like 285hp stock anyway, so it moves itself alright. Jake Papa- I've done everything except the alarm myself. Iraggi did the alternator bracket but if you need anything electrical contact the guys at missinglinkaudio.com- their customer service has been 10/10 so far- they answer the phone 7 days a week- even holidays! A few pics of the setup:        |

Gold Member Username: TejcurrentPost Number: 1368 Registered: Apr-07 | At the dash  30hz  32hz  42hz in the kick  We were going to do bassrace when 2 cops showed up, we decided to end it there. |
|
Gold Member Username: TejcurrentPost Number: 1369 Registered: Apr-07 | Maybe high 150s with all the power in there, but not sealed at 32hz ;) I'm considering redesigning things a bit, but it did 152 and change from 31-43hz. Colby could vouch for how much pressure I'm losing through the sunroof and rear hatch though  |

Gold Member Username: Nyyfan1315 Mag USA Post Number: 9713 Registered: Jul-06 | Thats awesome Troy. I might be making a trip to Mrytle Beach SC this summer/fall just for golf. Any chance you are around that area so I can take a listen? Also, I added you on PS3, accept it lol. From JMG033 Nice numbers man. |
|
Gold Member Username: TejcurrentPost Number: 1370 Registered: Apr-07 | Thanks! Yeah man, I live here just let me know when you're planning to come and I might be able to get you some good hotel rates too if you need 'em. I'll accept the next time I'm on. A sweep said I should peak at 52hz, but I seem to do best around 42 with the door open. I just did my best tonight at 32 sealed though. Maybe a 45hz burp port would be in order.. I have a 32hz port I want to try, this was the 36hz one. |

Gold Member Username: JakeyplaysbassSt. Louis, MO / ASU Post Number: 2736 Registered: Jul-05 | Jesus! 155 is so loud. Were you in the car when you did it? |
|
Gold Member Username: TejcurrentPost Number: 1371 Registered: Apr-07 | Yes lol, so was the guy who owned the meter. At that low a frequency it feels awesome. I think it was still around 150 at 25hz, but I had it on real time when the cops rolled up. |
|
Gold Member Username: JakeyplaysbassSt. Louis, MO / ASU Post Number: 2737 Registered: Jul-05 | Haha thats insane man. I could barely stand 152s it takes your breath away. |
|
Gold Member Username: TejcurrentPost Number: 1372 Registered: Apr-07 | I'm sadly getting used to it- remember that pressure feeling the first time I cranked it up, but it always fades with time |

Gold Member Username: TejcurrentPost Number: 1373 Registered: Apr-07 | I wish I could do a huge setup like that, but I need a daily driver that can seat 5 and be able to look out of the rear windows (A compromise with the wife.) I know I could bassrace 149.9, I've done 152(almost 153) once a few months ago, so maybe I could touch that 155 when it's all said and done but who knows? If I could find an old astro I'd so do a wall and try to get that 160. |

Diamond Member Username: BestmankindPost Number: 20923 Registered: Oct-05 | congrats on some serious juice troy. also big congrats on that score. that is sick man. with some tuning you can get that score up even more. next time have someone sit on roof of the car where right where the front windshield meets the roof and then meter it. |

Silver Member Username: Yukhui4 15 AA Havocs, Memphis 4kw!! Post Number: 932 Registered: Jan-06 | Chad, I've actually volunteered to sit on the sunroof, and maybe will the next time I'm there. As for the rear hatch, theres nothing a bunch of guys can do about stopping it, when you try and hold it you just get shaken sick. Jake papa, yeah it really does just take all the air out of your lungs sitting in that car, especially with the higher notes. I just wish I could find a video camera that could do some justice in showing how much EVERYTHING in the car actually moves. The camera only managed to pick up the rear hatch movement the best, and it just makes it look like its moving really slow anyways.. |

Gold Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 9304 Registered: Jun-04 | nice Troy....very loud scores at such low frequencies Rovin...."last night at a local show here in my country i witnessed a van with 8 15" DD's being metered (thinkj it was bassrace & it did 155.something & man when that van's 2 front & 2 side doors were open u couldnt stand 20ft in frnt of it because it was fuggin LOUD ! ... not to mention another van with 10 15s TREO which was even more frickin LOOOOOOOOUDDDDDDD! ......" I was at a show local recently where a guy had 6 35 series digital designs 12's or 15's in a wall and he hit like 157.8 db and it was a daily setup on 6 dd amps and I was standing how many feet away and when he had his door open it was still too loud for my ears |

Gold Member Username: TejcurrentPost Number: 1375 Registered: Apr-07 | Thanks guys! Jake Papa- I have just one set of realm 6.75 comps, but I would love to have a 2nd set and a 8" mid, I think that would honestly be enough. Right now one set is great for listening, I can hear the words/highs all I care to. Chad lee, thanks a lot. I plan on some tuning to try and get 156 without turning up the amps, but really once I get the extra wire in I'll crank the amps up to twice the power they're putting out now, so I should see quite a big gain. Hopefully I'll have the wire in about 2-3 weeks (I'm getting 50' rolls of kicker flex for $90, so I'm not complaining about timeframe). Colby- next show is june 7th if you want to go, maybe we can try the roof thing if it doesn't permanantly damage your manhood lol.. A big black electronic box broke out of my rear hatch today, don't know what it's for though (maybe the wiper?) Thanks for all the pos feedback guys! I noticed the belt was slipping a bit today so I'll be changing the pulleys again lol... |

Gold Member Username: Nd4spd18Northwest PA Post Number: 7576 Registered: Jul-06 | Nice system for the most part. But get some decent amplifiers and you wouldn't need 4 alternators to power them. |
|
Gold Member Username: TejcurrentPost Number: 1377 Registered: Apr-07 | Sorry, I've been on a cruise all week. ^Alex, I should've made you sign a waver I guess lol.. I didn't have a lot of time to play with it, like I said the cops showed up. It did the same numbers at 32hz as it did at 42, but from the past 42 was always the loudest sealed up. I'm getting THE first pro style MLA module Should be pretty bad-ast That + some wiring things and I'll be able to experiment some more. MS, if you could recommend a few better amps for the price I'd happily switch Besides, I'd rather have overkill than not enough. |

Silver Member Username: Alex_smithPost Number: 142 Registered: Sep-07 | haha. its all good tell kristen my mom said thank you for the bread stuff. it exploded this morning becuase she forgot to let it deflate but it was in a bowl so no mess... also i think you'll be happy to know i got off my tuner rant and i think im getting an 07 mustang gt with the shelby package ... but we'll just have to see how that works out. but i know for sure i'll be up this summer to help out or just to hear it when you get the wiring and other ends done |

Gold Member Username: TejcurrentPost Number: 1378 Registered: Apr-07 | Damn you rich kids gettin new sweet-ast cars (j/k), but my first car was an old faded toyota corolla lol... Glad to hear you're looking towards some muscle |
|
Silver Member Username: Alex_smithPost Number: 143 Registered: Sep-07 | yeah well i think my parents realize how much i need a car. they said okay and i took my dad to see the stang today and its close to what he was planning on spending for a new car a while back. the mustang has like 25k on it so the guy should be selling low 20's. but ill have to pay for gas and insurance which im sure arent gonna be cheap. regardless im still looking forward to getting it and im gonna try not to let the money affect my decision. |
|
Gold Member Username: TejcurrentPost Number: 1380 Registered: Apr-07 | Yeah, my parents didn't believe in new vehicles- really vehicles that cost much at all. They could've afforded to buy anything they wanted outright, but my dad drove around a 15 year old corolla. He wasn't too worried about keeping up his image though. He thought putting much money in a car (or car audio) was stupid because it could get wrecked or stolen. |

Gold Member Username: TejcurrentPost Number: 1381 Registered: Apr-07 | Thanks! I just got in my new MLA module, gotta represent missinglinkaudio.com. He shipped it friday NIGHT and it got here Monday afternoon. Super quick shipping! I don't know if this new "PRO" version is available yet, but it has a few features the original didn't/doesn't. Switch from low voltage (14ish) to high voltage (15ish)- it's legal for all types of comps. To me it's worth having all the wiring for multiple alternators. My factory idling voltage is 13.8v. Idling voltage is now 14.9-15v. I still need to charge my batts and then we'll how it sits. The Iraggi alternators are supposed to be internally regulated at 14.7v, but at idle they were idling at 12.5-12.6 on there own.. Yep, discharging.     |

Gold Member Username: TejcurrentPost Number: 1389 Registered: Apr-07 | missinglinkaudio.com They also have a section on the SMD forum. They can tell you if they have a model available for your vehicle. It does a few things (in simple terms, they can explain it much better): 1. Provide conncetions for additional alternators 2. Increase your voltage, almost like an external regulator would- but without over-riding your cars built in safety. 3. Compensate for changes your vehicle/regulator otherwise wouldn't. I tested last night after a short drive and with a little rev my voltage was up to 15.6, and with the car off the batts are resting over 13v now (they were at 12.5 before). Colby- I'll post up results whenever I can, I probably wont do too much till I get the wire in (I'm buying a spool tonight). May get at least another 3-4 runs out of that. |
