we also have a glass shop next door that shares the same garage space, different entrances just the same garage so we get to meet a lot of folks through insurance work that have a lot of expendable cash. we can get about 4 or 5 cars depending on how we park them. that hummer is one that we are fixing the video system on. the guy has 4 monitors, 2 headrest, 1 visor mount and 1 by the rearview for video or backup camera but, the shop that did it for him screwed it all up and it doesnt play at all. its a pretty sweet ride though, supercharged riding on 20's with nitto grapplers all around and 4" exhaust..

sinister you being a mustang guy will love the next car we are supposed to be doing, the guy has an 05 mustang gt convertible with a cervinis body kit and we sold him a set of 18" x 10.5 for the rear and 18 x 9 for the front. its black with charcoal shelby style stripes and we also tinted the windows for him. his other mustang is an 89 with saleen ground effects and spoiler, custom interior, fiberglass cowl hood and a serious 347 under the hood with custom grind cam, victor heads and intake and a 150 shot of nitrous. we kept it simple with that one, tinted windows, mb quart discus series speakers and im not a fan but he wanted a bazooka tube so he got it even though his five channel amp has an extra channel for the sub and i could have built him a single 10 that would have sounded a lot better....

anyway thanks for the compliments

ya i wish i had cars like that coming to my shop. well i guess i had a supra stop in the other day that was pretty cool. did you play witht he mustangs any? maybe a little?

hehe...... cant say.



no i wanted to but couldnt, the guy that owns them is responsible for about 10 percent of the business we get so he has to stay happy. hes offered to let me drive them but not they way i want...

yea i got the box in and while i was buttoning up the interior just had the system playing pretty lightly to warm up the sub and break it in a little, when i got the truck back together i cranked it up and set all the gains and crossovers and stuff and my boss came out and stuck his head in and said " what are you burning up?"


it was just the sub.....there supposed to smell like that right? :happy055:

how do the comp's do im comparison to jl w1v2? (*mailny spl-wise)

interesting you should ask....we happen to have a 10" at the shop that was run off a jl 500/1

imho, the elevation comp with comparable elevation power sounds better...

k... i've got my jl 13w1v2 and a jl e1200w amp..

would the e1200 (200w @2ohms) be enough for the comp12? or 10?... i want something that'll handle lows a little better and gets a little louder. Of course, i need to get my ass on a vented box for my 13w1 before i offically say it doesn't get low.

what is 4 ohm power?

Rated Power (mono): 120 W RMS x 1 @ 4 ohm (12.5V); 200 W RMS x 1 @ 2 ohm (12.5V)
THD at Rated Power: <0.08% @ 4 ohm (20 Hz -20 kHz)
S/N Ratio: >104 dB referred to rated power (A-weighted, 20 Hz – 20 kHz noise bandwidth)
Frequency Response: 10 Hz – 25 kHz (+0, -1dB)
Damping Factor: >200 @ 4 ohm / 50 Hz, >100 @ 2 ohm / 50 Hz



not a very good sub amp...low power and not so good damping factor makes for so so performance. if it were me and i was going to run that amp, keeping in mind that the power rating is at 12.5 volts, i would consider a pair of comp 10's and the reason being you have enough power to decently drive them and you will see an increase in spl due to the second sub. mount them close together in a sealed box and i think you will be happy with what you wind up with.

arguments to follow

The Comp 10 will work.

So would an ARC ARC series (250WRMS)
