Not bashing on these subs or any other, but why would all these companys copy each other in such detail? Couln't they atleast change the freekin basket?!
Nice sub tho BTW, looks loud already! Congrats.  |

Alot of subs are made in the same build houses - so designs that are considered 'new' are sent over to the buildhouses where anyone and everyone can see them. Therefore you get replicas of everything basically and companys compete to sell... so it makes sense if you think abou it.
But anyways I got work done on the battery rack yesterday. Pics tonight |

Sweet lookin subs.......
But you better have one hell of an electrical system if you're gonna even think about running an AB VFL-500.1 at all, let alone at 1/2 ohm. |

What are you getting? To run that amp I would want the biggest alternator possible, plus a bank of several batteries.
I would isolate the statring battery also if this is to be played with the engine off (like for comps), just b/c of the massive amount of power that amp will draw, I wouldn't want a drained starting battery. Although this is not absolutely necessary if you are careful. |

I have a 200 amp alt and 3 kinetik batts.
I will be Street Beating. Therefore engine runs @ idle while I pound. I think it will hold up. I wish there was a larger alt for my car, but thats it. |

Ah. I knew it had to be large to fit this system haha. Are you losing the back seats or does it fit in the back? |

Yea I can't remember the last time I had cargo space. Usually if I need to take something large I will put it in the backseats...
I just can't wait to get thi thing goin. I am going to purchase my amp soon. So frustrating how close I am - but still no bass :[ |
