Nice sub for a Nice car

Boston Acoustics vs Nissan

Sony xPlode vs Honda

You get the picture!

No one? anyone into Car Audio at all? I already have 1 in my car, used to have 2, just want boot space, so this one is going.

that must of been insanely loud with two of them, did you ever get the spl measured just asking out of curiosity? I'd buy it but I have a 15" Hertz (and no boot really)

Wouldn't say insanely loud, wasn't as loud as my 12" Kicker L7 in slot tuned box @37hz, but its heaps more nicer to listen to, the bass is nice and tight and crisps when compared to the L7.

I'm just running one in a tiny 1cu box and it's good enough for me, still gets fed 1kw @ 4ohms RMS though and it loves it.

Well the L7 hit 146db, and that was ear bleeding loud... I have never SPL'd the Bostons, but I reckon both of them would hit 140db+ easy.

Best part about them is they only need a 1cu box, the kicker I used to have was a 2.9cu box LOL

try mobile electronics forum (formally CAA)

tried CAA no nibbles... seems like noone is into car audio much these days...

kids just spend their money on stickers and tow hooks for their Hondas....

if no one buys it, I might get really bored and make an closure for the living room... run it off a Jaycar home sub amp module.

I had same sub in my ex's Volvo S40. Running off GT-24 amp (600wrms) got an easy 143db on Termlab in ported box tuned for SQ!! Good sounding sub that can thump.

Good luck with sale.

Man, is anyone into car audio these days?

I have two of these subs. I have not had a chance to do the full installation into the car but did a quick 15 min install to run them at an spl comp. With boxes just sitting and amp leaning up next to boxes I pulled 142dB. That was running off Alpine MRV-1507 (1500W Bridged). These are awesome subs, pretty much indestructible. Worth it for $200 seeing how when they were brand new they retailed for over $800 each.

Cheers

I use to run 2 of them at 2ohm off a 1.5kw monoblock... and they loved it... but yeah I'm going for the 1x 12 with moulded enclosure to free up boot space.

So as soon as I 1 of the 2, I'm going to get a moulded enclosure made up.

    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
    • Yeah - I mean, go the other way. Smaller range. Not larger.
    • To re-cap, I bought: https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8G-Infiniti-Q50-Q60-2014_1601171829627.html?spm=a2756.trade-list-buyer.0.0.2cd476e9FTIlKE As you can see, if I bought 20 it was $653, but I bought 1 so it was $1,170. I was very tempted to buy 2 and resell 1 at 25% cheaper. @MBS206, I am not sure if they do a Kluger one, here is their list but it might be there under a global model name: http://www.lsailt.com/product/android-interface?page=1 Keep in mind these full android replacements have basically all the bits a phone does (cpu, ram, storage, wifi, bluetooth, usb interfaces) other than a screen (it uses a host), thus the $800+ cost. Android Auto screen mirroring is MUCH cheaper as it's just a cut down shell, input mirroring and output mirroring BTW I also need that "screen off" feature, it is much harder to see wildlife even if a dash is reasonably dark. Both the Fuga and V37 have display off buttons for night use, they just come back on for a second or 3 if you interact with it, eg skip a song.
