[lastminuteaudio]

the best i did was take one of those big orange cones they does use to direct traffic an put an 8" in it. i figue it did need a port since it hadda hole on the other end.
or maybe it was making a 2' bazooka with a speaker from a toy gun an hook it up to my solarr polar radio with headphones wire.
or taking the home stereo boxes an hook it up in my mother trunk- i thought u would get bass from anything once it in your trunk

My neighbour asked me to install a system but i didn't have the time so he went to a car audio installer in the san juan area and paid $80 for this:




YEp..the installer put two 6x9's(50rms each), two 8" (80rms each) and one dual 4 ohm pioneer sub(400rms) on one channel of a pyramid amp...THe pyramid amp is about 50rmsx2.

And yes, thats speaker wire being used as the power wire... which was connected to the power wire of the deck.

^^ lol.... i had the same expression when i saw that. I didn't even want to try to fix the wiring cuz that wiring looking like a disaster waiting to happen.
SO pplzz..... Be wary of a shortish kinda thick fella doing installs at Professionals Music Shop, e.m.r. before the croisee. I've seen bad work done from them before but that was the worse.

[3stagevtec]

i used to use masking tape too when i first got into car audio... and i never soldered any wires, so over time they almost always would run slack and cause all kinds of problems..

but that was when i now started high school!

[- Rovin's car audio -]

whoa - this old thread come back


how come like nearly all of us went through d shoe box thing ...

[carfreak1024]

the shoebox things is something you haddda do at least once if yuh is a rell music man, is rell kicks.


the most ghetto install i ever did, was when i put 2 roadmaster sound boxes from walmart in my moms car connected to the stock speaker wires from the 6x9 in the backdash. each box had 2 6" and 2 plastic bullet thingy. it sounded like so much shiet but yuh know the feeling yuh is get from from doing something yourself when yuh small. well i id get that and it was rell worth it.


I later realized that the JBL sound system yuh get in the car stock was alot better than that crap i bought in walmart.

then came my 2 10" sony xplod that i still own by the way, but thats a whole different story. them thing is take rell beating. i put so much power on them thing, some say it sounded like a RE SE 12".

[4 Eyes]

Had an 4" in a shoe box and played it off my walkman back in school days. In my room i had a Zebra 8" (D swirl back one) in a bazooka and 2 "egg shaped" tv speaker 4 mids running of a pyramid deck and eq. In my mom's old round light galant had two 8" Nippon Americas in dem ole Sharp Stereo box (paint pan bass like dat..), 4 motorolla tweeters, running of ah Pyrimid echo chamber eq and ah pyrimid Deck with dem CD input jack....
