Mine has peaked 41-44.
Currently 44 sealed, 41 driver door open, and like 38 both doors open iirc. Usually our body styles peak 40-45ish it seems from what I have noticed. I just saw on your video you burped at 46 is why I asked. But every setup will be different of course my peak has went up as my setups have gotten bigger and louder.

from what the box builders tell me, I have an enclosure peak @ 37hz (loudest score with least amount of power), and then a cabin peak around 46-47hz

I'm trying to avoid playing lower than 35hz because I don't wanna start ripping the hatch and other stuff

I got some pics from my builder today, and man my new doors are gonna be ridiculous:

it's hard to overstate just how big those 12" mids are lol

door panels are finished and installed :)

hopefully get some videos tomorrow after work if roads are plowed and I can get to my testing area

first impressions are that I like them much better than the prior doors, and they sound a lot louder

got some more videos :)




I really love this setup, but all good things come to an end...

out with the 2nd row bench

in with the 2nd row buckets

2nd alternator and 2nd battery on the way, as well as a new box design and some new subs

with your last 4 15 enclosure. any room to fit 4 g31 batteries between enclosure and back of 2nd row? same spot where you had your amp mounted.

nah no way without moving the port closer to the hatch

I build all my boxes deep, knowing that I can put the one G30 on the side

the reason I swapped to Captain's seats is so I can mount all my batteries and amps in the middle of the two seats

doubled up my electrical this weekend

2x Brand X 270a Alternators and 2x Limitless Lithium G30s

built a temporary rack to hold it all, and swapped from an MD 12k to a Bass 30k

everything is a mess because it's temporary

still waiting on a new box design and deciding if I want to keep this 41" long amp, and if so... how to mount it.

if I keep anything into spring time, I'll pull it all out and work on wire management and whatnot

browsing facebook last night and I found an HD hood for $100

based on the dude's pictures, it looked like it might be my color. I've learned on sought after parts you don't ask questions, you just show up.

so I went out there, and it ended up being a little darker than I expected, but I think it might work well:

I'm thinking that once it gets warm enough again, I'll plasti-dip the entire lower half of my vehicle black, and then it'll be kind of a two tone truck

You lucky SOB!! Good for you! Is it in good shape? Does it have the underhood light still on it.

it's in great shape :) the best HD hood I've personally owned, and I think I've had 4 so far

it does have the underhood light, but I think I'll probably pull it out

well whatever it was, it wasn't pleasant

pretty sure I destroyed these headlights. I ordered another set and will need to take my time removing the permaseal on the next set.

I'll also probably make a video of how to do the whole retrofit, since it was not nearly as intuitive as I expected based on people's postings.

good news, the lights look really good cosmetically

bad news, my light output sucks and these housings will probably fall apart soon

literally held together with duct tape and wood screws in some areas

should have some output pics tonight

Did you happen to make a video on your retrofit of the mini H1? I noticed you used the aftermarket shroud instead of cutting up the DEPO shroud, Ive already got my original DEPO projectors out (pain in the a##), just looking for any advise, pictures or videos of other retrofits. How did you wire in the high beams to work with factory controls?

I did not make a video :(

I built them so crappily I thought for sure they'd fail, so I have another brand new set to retrofit

somehow though, they're all held together and not leaking yet so I haven't rebuilt them

high beams just wire in with the ballasts like any retrofit would
