got it out.. but as i may have said earlier, the right side won't play.. its not the speakers, something in the wiring. pulling the deck out tommorow inhopes that i won't have to run any new wires.

The threads striped the material. Get a flat blade screw driver under the head of the screw to pry up while your turning it.

This will cause a bind and for it to grab...

Okay... how do i get this screw out:

We had to fabricate custom adapters so that my blaupunkt 6.5" speakers would fit up front.. 2 of the screws on one of them are messed up (kinda?). They'll turn, but don't come out or move :(

please respond! Otherwise i'im going to be driving around with a loudass sub and a signle front speaker that can't keep up :P

okay.. gain is set properly as far as i know.. did it by ear. man woah! I think its time to make a video for realmofexcursion to show up the one of the 13w1 being destroyed. Put in Big Tymers - No Love (A Beautiful Life) and you'll be fuckin set.

Like i said.. my rear deck coaxils are over powering, but it seems decent as far as i can tell.

edit some more


i unplugged my rear speakers, and set the fade to the rear so only the sub would play... dayuuum. I have to say, this sub is fuckin awesome. for the price, throwing 120w at it, i deffinitely say this will be worth it once i tune my system properly.

THe problem i'm having is that my other speakers ge tloud when the volume on my deck is around 25... the subwoofer doesn't take off until upwords of 35 or 40... Should i just turn the gain up slighlty until the sub will get loud with the rest of the system..

Hows the SQ on those? Haven't heard the new W1v2s yet.

by Darthness » Thu Aug 04, 2005 5:51 pm

nah... still running 3 6" speakers :)

the memphis speakers in back need to be put upfront..

I think i have to wait until atleast tommorow to make a decent judgment. I couldn't turn it up much tonight cause of my psycho neighbors.

did u ever switch out the speaker u put a screwdriver into?

sub is in!

Got the box built today, sub has been in the trunk for about 15-20 minutes.. only problem is that it doesn't seem loud at all.. Not that was expecting extreme loudness, but i was deffinitely expecting more!. Sub: JL 13w1 4ohm edition, Amp: JL e1200. Amp was installed professionally.

Not sure if i have the gain set properly, i messed around but it didn't seem to do anything. One big problem is that my rear speakers are so loud you can barely tell...


edit: just drove around some... Deffinitely gets louder. i hate to say it buti may be getting a headache :D Tommorow im goin gto see if i can snag my dad's 18v drill and get those stupid fuckin speaker adapters ut so i can use my good speakers up front!
