1 800.2 for mids and highs
1 pioneer deh-p9400mp
pioneer rev series 6x9's and components in the front.
2 digital battery caps..

i use to have to HE2's in my old car and it was quading 10x's harder than what i got now.. what the fuck man im so pissed..
please some one help me...the only thing i did notice was that he ran a 8 gauge wire for power...but when its quading the speakers look like there gona fly out so i dont know. please i really need some help from anyone on the list or someone here in miami....please get back to me.

im a dummy, but whats quading??? What kind of box are the subs in?

maevonee

i dont know its flushed so i cant see i assume the guy made a box...

erock

Quading?

AkuraCLS

ur useing the WRONG WIrES! it's a 1500 watt amp, and 8 guage cable!? try closer to like 2 or 0...thats one thing..2nd thing, how'd he run em? mono? 2 ohm? this all depends on how they will hit..

People seem to use this word if you have subs for some reason. They say you are "quading" when the bass hits Dont ask why

Sounds like you should have been a lil more involved in the install. You are not sure if there is a box? "I see them flush mounted-I ASSUME he made a box?" WRONG ANSWER! First off 8 guage was not proper and with large current amps you shold always use the minimum number gauge wiring as possible, especially for long wiring installs. Second, was the box buillt-FOR SURE- and if so did you tell the installer to meet the subs minimum space requirements? Third-what are the gain settings on the amp, crossover settings-is it possible they got bumped and need to be set again? If you are not "quading", hitting low frequencies, I am sure it is a combination of all these factors. The guaging of the wire would be the least of my worries, but also the cheapest part to have down right. The box-should it be too small is definately your major concern here with frequency response, then check your crossover setting. Good luck and show pics!

Where in Miami did you get the install done?

maevonee

some guy a friend of mine recommended to me. but i wish i would of never gone to him. im soo pissed..i need help

liquid_x

u should have gone to miami sound design

quad = when people several cars in front of you (4 thus the term quad is used) can hear your bass

langjae

Why did it take a week..thats kinda what I'd like to know. That should take a day..3 tops.

I'm not an expert, but you have 3 amps correct? Is there an 8 guage wire for EACH? That shouldn't make a difference but it'll take its toll in the long run. I had a 4 split distributed to 2 8's and definitely not recommended.

Is you box built to specs? I know these speakers need a lot of room to move. They have great power, but no room. I's assuming its sealed ? And like wat everyone else said...check the gains nad frequencies..shouldn't the guy have tuned i for you??? How much did you pay? Go back and bitch. 1 week for half ass job aint chillin. If you're not happy then the install is wrong.

you need to get some bigger wires. you are running some major shit. I'm running 0 guage into 2 4's. Can we ses some pics to get an idea of what the set up is? Go there tell him to redo it.

oce01acura32cl

should of installed it yourself.

soopa

quad? is that some of that dirty south slang?

hornyleprechaun

miami ain't no dirty south....its all bout the ATL

maevonee

i dont even want that guy to touch my car anymore...this is my baby ill just take the hit and get it rewired somewhere else. shouldnt be to expensive all the amps and custom flush mount speakers are in place already how i want em...

Titand19

Just wire it yourself, you'll save some $$, and learn a few things.

Crazy Bimmer

can you take some pictures for us?

maevonee

i will tommorow..i dont know the first thing of installing a system...

langjae

Ask that mofo for a refund. It takes one week to throw a kit on and repaint a car. Not to install some audio. Its cool if you dont do it yourself..not everyone has the time. But be happy with what you pay for at least, nah mean??

Just bring it to him and be like, "YO I had a question..this shit dont quad (quad?! ) right or doesnt sound like I thought it was supposed to. There's absolutely no harm in that. Then if you open your hood just ask him..are you sure that the wiring is good? Shouldnt the wires be thicker etc etc...see what he says.

miami is the birthplace of the ghetto style bass, 30's n lows

back in the day it would have been a hot pink S-10 w/ a truxarossa widebody kit and 20 15's in the bed, quadin' up the block to some 2 live crew.

we need to see some pics. are the speakers firing the same direction as they were in your last ride?

maevonee

there new speakers i had he2's before now i got power hx2's

SilverKnight

Jeremy,
Are you sure about that? It took you a while to finish yours. It took me a yr and half to almost finish mine. And you think 1 week is too long

langjae

Hehe..yea. But if the dude does it for a living. :p And I don't see any fiberglass or CRAZY Eq's, major cutting and post it note screens in his install!!

How much did you work on your car a day? Mine was limited to several hours a weekend and maybe a handful of 12hr days. But give me 7 12hr days I think I can do mine all over again in that time.

Aaaand....I always kept changing my mind about stuff here and there that just prolonged it even more especially waiting for things to come in the mail.

Casper98CL

You should really try waiting to BREAK your speakers in....

My system sounded like SHIT for 3 weeks until the speakers were half way broken in... Just now, 6 months later are the soundiungf on point! I believe an average speaker need close to 100 hrs of play time before they are broken in... DO NOT GO BLASTING YOUR SHIT RIGHT AWAY... you will BLOW you speakers!

Here Are The Pics...

Did you pay with cash? If not, stop payment start filing the paperwork-bring the paperwork to your installer and show him that you are not satisfied and that you are stopping payment. pay him for upgraded wiring, but more important ask about the box and its dimensions compared to that of the minimum requirement for those subs! And what are those nobs for??????

maevonee

nah man i payed cash...but fuck it everyone takes some hits...im takin it tommorow to cartronics there gona rewire everything with 1 guage. and i also bought an optima yellow top battery.

liquid_x
