High Level input for interfacing with your Factory Stereo Specification: 4 x 150W at 2 ohms / 4 x 100W at 4 ohms / 2 x 300W Bridged Smart Switching - Automatically routes the signal Parametric EQ (P Sub / P5) - Gives full adjustment of the subwoofer sound Thermal bias tracking - Eliminates distortion Flexi-mount system - For easy installation Vari-speed Thermal management - Quietly keeps everything cool DC Sub level control - Eliminates noise pickup Power Levels [2 Ohms] - 1 x 150W Power Levels [4 Ohms] - 1 x 100W Bridge - 2 x 300W THD - <0.1% Signal to Noise Ratio - 100dB 'A' Wtd Input Sensitivity [Volts RMS] - 0.3 ~ 4 Volts Current Draw @ 4 Ohms - 45 Amps Fuse Rating - 40 Amp Crossovers HP [All Continuous] - CH 1 & 2 - 30 - 6000 Hz Crossovers HP [All Continuous] - CH 3 & 4 - 20 - 200 Hz Crossovers LP [/- Module] - CH 3 & 4 - 60 - 6000 HZ Dimensions H x W x D [mm]* - 38 x 450 x 217 Weight [Kg] - 3.0 ------ I haev been told by people in the know to be careful as 9 time out of 10, the Genesis amps are OVER the power they state on the box Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wasso Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 Don't forget those figures will be Watts and probably not RMS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slimjim Posted August 2, 2011 Author Share Posted August 2, 2011 Busy lunch.... [EDIT] MUST TRY HARDER... The camera I thought didn't fit DOES fit, just needed a little more "persuasion" then I was giving it before. Can't get the cable to the TV to test it ON the car So will have to wait till I get a headunit [/EDIT] ------------ Also spent a little time in "the workshop" (AKA the Shower!) with a Hole cutter and a jigsaw.... All the dust stays in one place, easy to hoover, good light and wash the dust (and any blood) down the drain Pretty tight for the cable, but I will secure/seal that in with glue when I need to Ended up with this... Just going to re-enforce the joints with some woodglue (Now I can get to them!) then line it will 12mm sticky back acoustic foam. Try to fool the sub into thinking it is in a bigger box than it is Then I have some acoustic covering to wrap it in. Scary... it is all starting to come together.... Just expecting a phone call to say my car has failed the MOT, due to something... possibly the drivers seat-belt not retracting all the way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slimjim Posted August 2, 2011 Author Share Posted August 2, 2011 FAIL!!!!! "(Both rear) Anti-roll bar linkage has excessive play in ball joint [2.4.G.3]" So, just chatting to ZMAlex, see if he can sort me some... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slimjim Posted August 4, 2011 Author Share Posted August 4, 2011 Painting with glue? Yup, been painting with glue. Wanted to make sure the box was totally sealed, so I re sealed the inside and outside joins with wood glue. Then painted the whole thing with a glue solution (5:1 then 3:1) to make sure the whole thing it totally air tight Next on the list... foam lining the inside walls of the box.

slimjim Posted August 8, 2011 Author Share Posted August 8, 2011 Got a bit done over the weekend... Amp now fits PROPERLY in the Glove Box... Genesis Profile Four Ultra. The strap is to pull out the supporting bar at the back if/when I want to take the amp out. Special thanks for this setup go to big boy Carlos for the mdf support idea and getting the bits cut for me, V-Man for shaping and finishing the parts off and also Ma for trimming the bits. oh ... and my Relay for the extra amp fans is wired up (I think!)

slimjim Posted August 8, 2011 Author Share Posted August 8, 2011 Took me TWO HOURS... (go I am useless!) but I now have a pair of 12awg to my doors via the standard cable route Thanks to Ikarus for the "How Too" - viewtopic.php?f=35&t=34905 Just got the drivers side to do now!

slimjim Posted August 9, 2011 Author Share Posted August 9, 2011 Right... Chosen my comps... I have been into the ICE house and listened to a LOAD of speakers... and I have gone for.... the Rainbow CS 265.25 Germanium Line They are a lovely mix of sharper mids due to the metal cone on the 6.5 but a softer tweet as they have fabric cones. Went a little over budget Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slimjim Posted August 10, 2011 Author Share Posted August 10, 2011 Just picked up my sound deadening stuff from my friend Paul who owns Classic Acoustics. http://www.build.co.uk/company_409669.htm (Their own web site should be up by the end of next week) He makes sound proof rooms for a living and also does all the sound proofing for JCB's Lucky me has been given a LOAD of stuff. Two HUGE sheets of "AG-Barrier FO12(PVC Based)"... which to you and me is Dynamat. And a LOAD of "Type O Acoustic duct liner" which is AMAZING sound deadening stuff. Paul says that he can accommodate ANY sound deadening needs. So if you guys want some, mention me and he will sort you out. For what he gave me (Including a load of DECENT glue) he said he would charge £90 for people to fetch it. Working this out with dynamat prices it would be close to £800! ring em... 01952 587360, Ask for Paul, tell him James with the 350Z sent ya Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slimjim Posted August 10, 2011 Author Share Posted August 10, 2011 While I was there they wrapped my sub box too... DAMN sight better job than I would have done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
