Re: Bobby K's 2013 Camaro 2SS/RS
He says they'll work fine, and asked how much power. I told him either 750 watts or 1750 depending on final load, and he said that should be fine on 2 of them...but I don't know if he meant 1750 watts...that seemed excessive for an IB setup. Waiting for confirmation.

Andy's message back to me was, "You'll be a happy camper (smiley face)" That's all I needed to hear! I believe they are going to be installed firing through the rear deck with their beautiful asses hanging down! Should look cool as hell, and maybe even leave some trunk space for like a Frisbee or something...

Final load will be 1 ohm, so 875 each is available. I'm sure Benny Z will protect them when he sets the gains. Once I get the car back, I will probably be relying on you guys heavily to dial it in. I really appreciate you following up on the IB situation!

Re: Bobby K's 2013 Camaro 2SS/RS
When I posted the head unit pic on camaro5.com, one of the guys noticed a couple small lights were not glowing on the HVAC knob on the right hand side of the PAC unit (the defrost and the Max a/c snowflake thing). I messaged the installer to take a look at it. I'm glad that was caught, as I don't want to be driving an hour back to their shop for little things like that. I know he's trying to knock it out quickly, as Im sure they have other cars, plus they are hosting SQology this weekend, plus he knows I'm anxious, but I told him to please take his time, as I'd rather have it perfect, than have it back quickly with issues that need fixed...

Im now thinking series/parallel (4 ohm, 750 watts) will be plenty of power, Jay. WINISD is showing a Qtc of .6, so I'm told with cabin gain, I should be in a pretty good position...?

Re: Bobby K's 2013 Camaro 2SS/RS
Idk why the other 2 pics showed up.
Cool thing about frog subs is series or parallel is simply a switch on the sub, not re-wiring...

I'd probably see what Ben thinks, but I would probably start at 4 ohms. Not sure if they spec it out, but I wonder if the damping factor would be higher at 4 ohm instead of 1 ohm.

Re: Bobby K's 2013 Camaro 2SS/RS
I certainly will. Question: I was told I should use a subsonic filter, and Helix claims there is one on the SPXL1000, but I can't find any specs on it. Is this something that can be done with the Arc PS-8, or does it need to be physically done on the amp?
-
Re: Bobby K's 2013 Camaro 2SS/RS
It's usually a knob on most amps I've done...typically goes from like 5-30Hz. But I'm pretty sure the PS8 can do it.
It's just setting up a bandpass filter on your sub channels, and you'd have more control over slope and such going through the PS8.

Re: Bobby K's 2013 Camaro 2SS/RS
Well, apparently the 2 Mmats that I've provided for my car just don't like to live directly above my battery. As the amp was physically moved away from the battery, the noise floor lessened, but never totally went away. Out of 4 amps tested, the Arc 1200.6 is the only amp that did not present a noise issue in that mounting position. So, now I'm working on acquiring an Arc 1200.6, which is the exact amp I sold to buy the Mmats amps! Oh, the irony of it all! And now, of course, the amp rack has to be reworked to accommodate the Arc, since it has all the inputs/outputs on one side of it...

Re: Bobby K's 2013 Camaro 2SS/RS
Wow! That's all I can say for now, having just picked my car up, and having a basic tune by Benny Z. Stage is at the pillars, center is locked and focused at the rearview mirror, and subs sound like they are mounted on the dash with the mids...

Nice. Look forward to hearing it if we can arrange dinner in Kentucky while I'm on the way to Ohio.

Got stuff to change a couple things:
Attachment 6397Attachment 6398
Not pictured is an Arc XDi600.4 to run 300 watts bridged to these. Going to swap for the GB60’s. Still haven’t figured out what to do about an amp rack, and prettying up the trunk...

Re: Bobby K's 2013 Camaro 2SS/RS
Another couple small steps done, since weather went from Antarctic to Hell in one week! I installed a muffler delete, and car back exhaust from a V6 Camaro, which was waaaay less restrictive than the V8 midpipes. I have received my long tube headers, so those will be next, and then a custom tune to turn off AFM, top speed limiter, and adjust to current mods. I am going to need to pull the interior so I can sound deaden under carpet and the rear shelf, although with more open exhaust and windows down, the system keeps up just fine!
I also finally installed rims/tires which increased the footprint on all 4 corners by 1.5”!!!

Attachment 6500Amp stands I designed thanks to inspiration from Papa’s floating amps. I designed them so the front band will hide the wiring, which goes through the upright and down through a hole in the base. This will allow it to go through my trunk false floor, into the spare tire well.
Attachment 6501These were made by Alan Abernathy in Florida, based on drawings and a cardboard model I put together.
Attachment 6502They are made perfectly to my specs, welds are gorgeous, and mounting holes are exact!
