18 x 10" subs in a e30

[streetbassincuk]

just an idea of what can be done to a e30 if you don't like carrying passengers!

[ImysE30]

Fcukin 'ell that is some sound system, bet that rocks

[miniblob]

You da man!!!!!!!! I wan't to sit in that at full chat!!!!!!!!!!!! Hope to bump into you at some meets when i get back out there!!!!!!!!

Only gonna put one 13W7 in my touring - but i am just purchasing 8 JBL 12"s for another vehicle i'm planning!!!!

What amps have you used?? What load on each amp??

And what have you done for power?? Alternator & batteries??

Found out what db it hits??

[streetbassincuk]

now now guys, calm down, this was taken about 12 years ago, built for longmill, but was too 'extreme' for them, so it never got to drop in anger at any competitions. but boy was it loud, i think it hit 154db,not too sure.i helped build this with a bloke called tony bennett, those of you who know the old skool crew will remember him. it was all longmill, black widow 2 and 4 channel amps, 4 lorry batteries to power it all.would rattle shutters at 100yds!

[Alex]

is that how you can cause an earthquake in china

[sati]

Longmill will still be the best in my eyes , still got a paid of 8" subs only 250watts max but they can take a beating! , also Old Skool Jbl subs were crazy , but the gti subs can take 1k rms over the rated 700watts

the longmil ICE e30

i remeber that, it had 3 spoke alloys on it !!

[streetbassincuk]

yeah,thats the one. had a shallow horizontal v shape box with 4x15" subs. that got replaced with the above. but longmill didn't like it.....sissys! must admit tho, the body kit they put on it afterwards did look the nuts...should've kept it like this...a true animal.

[a_kara]

what happened to the car, i was for sale about 1997.

[streetbassincuk]

longmill shut up shop n flogged everything....big shame. they did give tony an mk4 escort estate, to which he put 8x15" subs in the back seat....which was nice!

[a_kara]

i did wonder

they were a "budget" brand but they could take some serious abuse, as you said it is shame.

[streetbassincuk]

their sumo 15" subs were very capable.

[streetbassincuk]

it hit 152,but that was with the 4x15"'s.

Tony Bennett, Mr "ice man" Think he had the camero back then, I used to work with Prestige and New Image back then. He came and shook his head at us when we built the escort van for the 95 or 96 sound off at wembley.

[streetbassincuk]

he never had a camero back then, he's got one now in the states that he's building with rockford kit.

[zaust]

What was the american motor with the boot build that had speakers on a raisable pole. Or have I got my motors mixed up.

[streetbassincuk]

thats pete newell, a black dodge charger,we came accross him at dry street, struttin his stuff, tony 'burped' his escort, and the charger shut up shop n walked off!!!! that was a grin.

[zaust]

Ok, my bad.

Dry street, That bring's back memories.. I used to take my bug down there..(the power pig) Greeny blue colour with 4x 8" in the back and a 15 in the boot up front.. All boston accoustic's.

We have probley met fella.

[cassa-d]

Did this ice man have a cortina at one point and a bit of a regular at chelsea bridge ???

[streetbassincuk]

this isn't the iceman's work,but they did a few projects together.

[zaust]

Don't ever remember him with a ford of any kind, But yes he was at chelsea alot...

[Cotty]

the longmil ICE e30

i remeber that, it had 3 spoke alloys on it !!
