Bout to Lazarus the s#it out this thread...

My old man swapped out the roof speakers at the hotel he worked at. They were these little boxes with some el cheapo 8's from the pool area. I had about 10 of them wired in parallel from a walkman (no, not a discman. A walkman) with the headphone jack pushed in 3/4-way so it sounded like "surround sound".

@ Lazarus the thread

That hadda be a sick walkman to be able to take less than an ohm load and playing normel normel.

:lol: @ Lazarus the thread

That hadda be a sick walkman to be able to take less than an ohm load and playing normel normel.

considering I had to put my ear to the cone(s) to hear it, saying it was "playing" would be a stretch.

ole thread revival

1 of d greatest i ever heard was a shop told me a customer's car had come in with a piece of red brick used as a spacer under d amp to give it air circulation ...


sometimes i see customers connect a additional battery in d trunk & nothing around it to secure it & worst its not even fused , when i see that i tell them anytime u see fire just jump out d car & run

most dangerous i see when ppl rest down 2 mids boxes unsecured on their bass box in a wagon or hatchback car , they dont realize how deadly that can be in a accident or a sudden hard mash brakes .......

Fancy Fiberglass door pods built with multiple large drivers that attach to the plastic door upholstery with drywall screws.

Not only ghetto, but a driving safety hazzard!!!

Use common sense people. Even the OEM low power speakers are bolted to the door itself. So its either these Car manufacturers dont know what they are doing or ...

Most vehicles in competition especially the "crowd pleaser" aspect installs leaves somthing to be desired.

[david12]

thread revival?

[Rovin]

feel free to post ur own or friends who cud take a joke stuff or stuff found on foreign internet - we all screw up or do half way stuff sometimes in a hurry, due to lack of materials\tools or plain laziness

i wouldnt recommend posting substandard work of any installers to open any can of worms ...

[timelapse]

Ah fraid the raj crew take offense.

[david12]

And... lol
I see like they using the 3 conductor grey house wire plenty for the mids and sub boxes

[Rovin]

rajness is a whole story by itself which might be more suited to d ole talk section

its 4 core wire sometimes called rhino cause of a brand name, i know there is a 8 terminal neutrik type connector too but i never had cause to use it

nothing really wrong with that since its supposedly copper wire conveniently neat instead of taping & looming a bunch of wires together & its double insulated so it can take some abuse too, dem DJs have been using it decades ago

i actually have about 5ft of 4 core wire on my daily sub box a few yrs going, i doubt u will hear a difference with car audio wires & that ...

[david12]

I know the 4 conductor and 8 conductor you talking about, I had a 2 yards and a neutrik on a previous sub box. But some of them really using the 3 conductor house wire for like extension cord and either cutting the third one or pulling it out from the insulation. Like you said I wouldn't continue with this talk before I get ban lol.

[Dave]

Did somebody say ban.....
My ghetto install ish was using the house wiring conduit in the plastic casing for jumping and splitting connections. It mounted neat as they had the screw terminal in the middle for affixing.
The stainless screws in the casing were very durable and you could get different sizes.
Pong on a budget!

[david12]

da hadda be before I meet you, me eh remember no ghettoness from any previous install nah

It sound good for the time.The toolbox started to dryrot, so I built a regular ported box for it .

[david12]
