the inside of the Silverstone PSU shown a few post up running the JVC amp.
I took out every wire that wasn't needed and connected the turn-on and ground wire inside of the PSU. So wire the amp to it and plug it on flip the switch and your up and running. No extra BS like jumping it or extra wires to fuck with. Also upped the voltage to 13.something (there are 3. "pots" in the little board shown in the pic and one of them controls the 12v line )
***the pic isn't of the final product i did more clean up and removed more wires after taking the pic***

here is the final product. I replaced the fan with a random Antec i had laying around and the noise is much less now. i also set the rails to there max output don't have a DMM anymore to test them but the lights on the amp(power lights) are much brighter and the bass is better so it is running higher volts then before.

*yes there is a stuffed animal in the background. my bunny loves to play with it*

sure is. :toast:

also on another note. I am going to be running 2 10's tomorrow off of the amp and psu posted above. Should make some strong bass :)

for some reason i think 600w of subs by my desk maybe too much to turn up all the way :laugh:

also the subs i am getting are Visonik :wtf: they are just temp subs and will be replaced with Orion or Focal at some point

I am only doing the project because i don't have the wires to put it in the car yet and plus i don't have a car yet(will soon) when i get done playing around with the stuff in the house i will be replacing the subs with the Focal or the high-end Orion(have heard great things about the high-end Orion but there low-end not so much and Focal well it's Focal end of story)

I will post pics when i get things setup :toast:
I'm sure that it falls under ghetto

about 250w of Subs (3, 1 no name 25w hightone, one yamaha 120w deeptone, and a no name 100w midtone tower), in deeptone,midtone and hightone variants,connected to a yamaha receiver cant even be upped to 15% for me... it tends to overtone all of the other speakers, and make the House tremble, literally. Other Neighbours argue over the Noise then:laugh:

i am going to have 2 subs powered by a 600w JVC amp the amp is running on 13+v the box the subs are going to be in is a 1cf x2 sealed(2 sections 1cf each)
for highs i am going to use some cheap speakers i have in a box and for mids and super highs i am going to use my Philips Stereo(has amazing highs and mids)

when it comes time to put things in the car the subs are getting replaced with 2 Focal Auditor RiP-250S or 2 Orion CO104S
and the amp will remain the same for awhile then be replaced with something high-end and more powerful then the JVC will power me some highs.
the car already has a JVC headunit and JVC 4ways in the front doors and JVC 3 ways in the back. So i think it will have a good all around sound once i get everything done. But till then this is going to be my setup
2x 10inch Visonik subs
600w JVC amp
700W silverstone PSU modded and voltage upped.
other stuff to complete the mids and highs.

you got a sick deal on them. You need to bring them up sometime after i get the Focal or Orion's so we can have alittle fun and see how much shit we can make fall :roll:

EDIT:We will also have to see what the Kenwoods really can do. even if it means 1 amp per sub (your 700w pyle on one and my 600w JVC on the other) I'm sure we would have to have the amps turned down alot but that would be fun.

also good news the "birth sheet" to my amp says 400w RMS and its only rated for 300w RMS so that means my amp is 100w higher RMS then i paid and its closer to a 800w then 600w :) I never knew that JVC came with a birth sheet :wtf:

I recommend you leave the GF if you want to get some from her later that day/night. She would get off just from the vibrations :roll:

we would have atleast 1300w peak from the amps but they may put out more or alittle less then that. still that would be sick.
