Im not sure if this question even makes sense, but I have a carbon hatch and am going to be getting some Alpine Type R 12's , are there any problems with the bass from the subs doing any harm to the hatch like cracking or anything?? Any help will be appreciated. Thanks in Advance!!

 

the motor fx hatch is great

 

good question, although I would think the hatch manufacturers would give it enough strength to stand up to some woofer pressure....

 

yes but how does carbon fiber handle various level and intesities of vibration from that bass?

 

I'll be dynamatting the hell out of my CF hatch when i get it.. i dont think it can handle 2 15's with 2k watts each lol. as far as rattles go anyway.

 

Any other responses?

 

where are you getting a TRUE 2000 WATT AMP AT is my question?

 

^^^ it's not the question of where to get a 2000 watt amp, it's the question of what are you doing to the electrical to allow the amps to push out 2000 watts each....

 

2 yellow tops, 2 800 Battcaps, and 2x Diamond audio 2000.1's, i'm also having my alternator respooled here soon.

going to 2 diamond d9 15's

 

how high are you upping your alternator?? sounds like a good course of action thus far though....


That's what alot of people don't understand...You can only get "X" amount of watts from a stock electrical system....If you go higher than that, You're running on a treadmill(not getting anywhere) without electrical upgrade....

 

i have the cf hatch and a 12 kicker L7 sub... it still sounds good... not too much vibrating... my oem hatch was dynomated... but too lazy to dynomat it again... everything seems fine except that nasty license plate rattle everyone hates... but i only hear it when i THUMB the ish outta my box. hope this helps.

 

iNFEktEd, is your sub facing the hatch or up or which direction? And no problems with the hatch, good to hear, cause thats what im worried about.

 

teh sub is facing the hatch... it's a tight fit... only about an inch or two from the sub to the hatch.

 

Just a small sidetrack please, I just wanted to know if the CF hatch is a lightweight hatch(lighter than stock) or not. I've bought a few CF parts and my front lip and rear wing are both heavier than stock.

As for your question, if it rattles, simply use some kind of sound deadening material on it.

 

Does anyone else find the humor in replacing the hatch with CF, usually for the purpose of losing weight and then installing loads of heavy audio equipment? Lol.

 

lol

 

Everytime this thread gets bumped.

If you're going for the look, then yeah, deaden away...

If you're saving weight.......

 

I guess it's better than using a big cf sticker.
