Re: Added some weight to the SY. W/pics
update! i have removed the 3 memphis amps and soundstream 12 from the truck. I dont have any pics yet but should have some up in the next day or so. After some high current draw issues from one of the amps i have went a different route. I bought a JL 10w7 sub, and have chose to go with a memphis belle amp. The amp is a 5 channel (only using 3 for now), basically 4 x 85 watts @ 4ohm + 1x 1000 @ 1ohm. The JL is a 3ohm sub so power should be between 600-700 wattts, which is just about right for the 10w7. I may bridge the 4 channels down to 2 and have around 200 x 2 + 700 x 1.
The box size is much smaller for the sealed 10 than it was for the ported 12. At this point the enclosure is built, has accomodations for 2 kinetik power hc2000's power cells (batteries). 1 will be installed the second is debateable. I am not sure i need it, and it weighs in at 61 lbs. Amp position/placement and trim panel design are next in line, at this point im not sure if i want to glass everything and have it painted to match the exterior, make it simple black carpet with a couple of removable panels to get to equipment, or i could have it trimmed out like the interior in black and blue suede.
the sub is 30lbs, batt is 61 (maybe 2 of them) the amp probably around 10lbs, bare box???? I know i have said weight isnt an issue before but i want to keep the box and equip under 200 lbs. I have removed the AC system, ABS system, spare tire, jack, original battery, and the W2A. I am figuring this should about be a wash as far aas weight. :tup: :tup:

I just got all of my jl stuff but its going to be a while before i get time to fiberglass the rear, i went with 2 10w7s with the jl 10001v2 , zr components upfront, c5 6.5 coax rear and the 4504v2 to power them, but i also got 2 hc 1400 for power, i didn't think i would need the 2000's like you have. i personally like the w7s in ported boxes, but w6s sound better in sealed. but thats just my opinion.

i may change the box if i dont like the way the sealed box sounds. But as small as the cab is in the SY and as good as the w7's are, i think the + in sound quality of a sealed enclosure may work out, but if not, just remove and rebuild. :tup:

Memphis belle now your talking. I run one in my Expedition. Its the studio edition, i been running it for 7or 8years. I call it my little monster. People dont believe me when i say it runs the whole system. Since i see you know your stuff, you already know it is power hungry. Sh*t just look at the fuses in it. I will get a pic up for ya in a bit.
pics taken with iphone so its not the best quality

The one i am running looks like the one in your pic, its missing the Belle logo, i plan on making a SYCLONE logo to replace it with and getting it anodized blue. These amps are getting a bit old, but still will do everything most people need.

Get pics up when done. should look good with the flames on your truck. just be carefull with the screws in the wire inputs. plus the sub one is to small. They strip easily. Just a heads up.
