Another one bites the dust. This makes #6. 12 year old subs are STILL okay.

Did some epic trading yesterday. Got a Infinity Perfect12.1 in a sealed box, MTX 6001 monoblock amp, and an Infinity 4 channel amp. Can't decide whether or not I want to keep running the 8" with the new amp or the single 12". One or the other is going in the Protege.Jim K.

The Infinity perfect series is pretty nice sounding. Friend had 2 of the 12s and it was crystal clear and loud.89 PGT: Garrett t3, FMIC, MS, 460cc, 2.5"TBE, other stuff, in pieces

Well, started the car earlier, heard a pop, smelled smoke. Amp shorted and fried the sub. Dammit.

Well, heres the temp setup for now until I can find another amp and decent sub. SPL something or other 4ch amp and a wimpy Pioneer 12. Have a lead on a RF 1000w amp and some decent subs that a friend has. I think next summer I want to attempt a fiberglass box. Always wanted to try it.

Also, im picking up a good G4 bottom end that I might build as a spare. Just mild S-rods/ Weisco pistons combo. Probably stay with the 10:1 but I might port out some DE headsLast edited by WhiteDart; October 9, 2013, 05:38 PM.Jim K.

Installed the 4 channel Infinity today. Sounds spectacular. Cant wait till I can gather the funds to upgrade the sub and sub amp. Before that though Im going to get a 1/2 DIN 9 band equalizer with 9V pre-outs so I can ditch the headunit all together. For now it will get the job done.

Headunit is officially out forever. Soundstream EQ is in. And it is freaken awesome! Its mounted somewhat temporarily until I pick up some more dremmel stuff to make it sit more flush. Installed pics tomorrow. Here is a sneak peek.

Crappy pic. Sound is absolutely fantastic. I wish I would have done it years ago. Def need to work on refining the mounting.

I was a little annoyed a few weeks ago when someone made a comment that dumping "tons of money into you car (speaking on car modification as a whole) is pointless." Ive been wracking my brain trying to come up with a dollar amount on how much I have spent on it. I even threw in an extra $500 into the list for "extras" that I cant remember. So far the total, which includes the cost of purchasing the car itself, comes to $4030. Over 10 years. Thats a pretty damn cheap hobby if you ask me.
