I liked my pyle bandpass box and decided to go for broke and find a dual model. Tada, last week I saw one on ebay for 100 bucks or yout best offer. I offered 60 bucks and it was a done deal. It was a tight fit for the 2 jbl gto 804s. The screws the box came with were quarter inch long, I decided they were too short and bought some an inch and half. THe speakers had no holes, so I had to drill each. It took maybe 3 hours from start to finish and I stripped the heads out of 8 screws. Both speakers have 8 each in them, then the box lid takes a good handfull. I was going to mount it so the mirror was facing the rear, but decided it may rattle loose or break and decided to sit it so the mirror is down. I also wanted to put some leds or something on the inside, but had not yet. I told a friend who saw and felt my 12s that I adjusted the amp. He thought it was a little deeper and quieter from the outside of the car. I showed him the rear and he was shocked at the small box size and the 2 8s. I tried the usual songs, bone crushers never scared and it hits all the notes just fine. The other video shows it playing beam me up by t pain. I cant wait to get a box for the 2 12s next. |

The price was right for the cap and I thought something that big would allow me to skip the second battery. No such luck and the cap was an ebay purchase, so I decided to not return it and use it with a second battery. Everyone and their brother tells me the cap is 10 times too big for my needs, bu its a nice conversation piece at shows. Never thought Id see a 10 farad cap that can fit in the side of 2 20 ounce bottles. I use to have a group 27 second battery, but since my voltage was rock solid I downgraded to a u1. Its still larger than whats under the hood. I want to get an electronics battery next. Its like a bunch of nickle metal aa batteries so its the same size as under the hood, but like 1600 ccas or something crazy like that. My first choice would be part of a prius sub pack, but I do not know anyone locally with that. Optima? I looked at them, but cant see spending 300 bucks for a battery. If I were you, Id try a second battery near the amp, then cap, then a larger alt. |

You ought to hear smoke on the water, or should I say feel it? |

I hear noise. When you stepped 20 feet away it vaguely started sounding a little bit like music, not distinguishable as any actual song, but a hint that maybe it was music before being overdone. |

I was playing strangle hold by ted nugent and you can hear/see the bass line. Yeah, that was full volume, the speakers are in the doors, sub in the back. Needless to say its hard to record bass at any volume above a whisper, it just sounds that buzzy distorted sound. As I was walking away I still could feel it. |

Listening to big things popping and watching the headliner, mirrors shake with the 2 jbl gto 804s in a dual band pass box with alpine m450 amp. |
