The one that gives you the mpg's.

The one that gives you the mpg's.

oh lol, of course it's the one that I literally was not expecting at all

It's called "Fuelly" on iPhone, and "aCar" on android

very easy to use, just enter stuff each time you fill up and it does the rest

 

[Galandorian]

so my builder finished the box a lot quicker than I expected! I ran over to detroit to get it, and then had to recone a subwoofer that I blew previously

 

[Galandorian]

my 3 15 box was:

48" wide x 23.25" tall x 35" deep

my new box is:

49" wide x 23.25" tall x 36" deep

surprisingly, the 1" wider made a helluva time getting the battery box in

it pushed the box over enough that I could not load the battery in without rubbing my window. big no no - especially because I know tint rubs off easily

ended up having to cut off a portion of the box as seen, and then tilt the battery in and go for it

of course, in typical fashion - it was already dark by the time I finished the job

have the subwoofers wired @ 2 ohms currently, but plan to eventualy drop to 0.5 ohms once I break in the reconed sub a little bit

first impressions are that this system is great. plays quite a bit lower, and seems to be comparably loud even on "low" power

Gotta love the tight fitment of keeping everything in the cargo area and no wall I feel your pain lol.

 

[Galandorian]

whelp went and tested them today and my scores were a lot lower than expected, even though power was decent for wiring @ 2 ohms

after I did all my metering, I was playing around on music and was like "dang, something doesn't look right".

the passenger side front sub didn't look to be moving at all

after some consulting on facebook, I went and pulled the sub and learned that one of my coils was improperly marked

so hopefully I'll see some decent gains tomorrow

That should make a significant difference..!

 

[Galandorian]

after swapping the sub wiring around, and still being wired @ 2 ohms, I gained about 1.5dB

then I decided screw it, and wired the amp to 0.5, and the setup finally really came alive

[Tonyrodz]

Impressive.

 

[Galandorian]

Impressive.

I'm super happy with it it's louder than most of the walled vehicles I've purchased

now I just have go avoid going bigger and ripping my door sheet metal and stuff

time to just be content for once lol

in other news, I finally got around to uploading the side molding removal video:

So much nicer without it. Just gotta watch out for inconsiderate people who swing their doors open. There's a wheel made by 3M that attaches to a hand drill that will remove adhesive and glue much quicker. It's called "The Eraser" iirc.

That wheel from 3M works very well. Used when I removed the molding on my 2007 Silverado. Between that and some 3M spray adhesive remover and a cloth, you couldn’t tell anything had been there at all. I put it in a corded drill as it can drain a battery on a cordless pretty quick if you’re doing more than one door.

I’ve also used on a few other folk’s cars just to clean up the door so I could replace the molding for them.

Just don’t use it on plastic body parts. My co-worker tried it and melted the bumper cover of his wife’s Land Rover. Oops!

 

[Sam Harris]

Ridiculous!

 

[NeverSatisfied]

You can get a knock off eraser wheel off amazon for around 10 bucks

 

[ivin74]

I need one of those vibrating seats, lol.

 

[89Suburban]

********!!!!! Holy shit!!! LOL!!!!!

Congrats on the 155! Best I have gotten mine to burp sealed on the glass was a 154.9. But I have been doing other stuff so haven’t tested or changed anything to try to gain though. You always peaked that high???

Thanks! Mine is a 155 with the door open tho lol. only 153.5 sealed.

In most of my setups I peaked around 41hz in these vehicles, but I guess I never really tested higher than that.

so not really sure what the answer is to that question

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.
