I think you may have been confused with Brypink2 downgrade, he had a killer Alpine, Zapco, Rainbow, SI system..... but, i'm sure his downgraded system will not be a toy either.....

best way to solve a frustration!! take it out on the contents within the fridge.
Well, as to the SI BM12 compared to my Rainbow Profi 12, played around some today with it, at this point I would have to say the Profi will get a little lower and is a little louder, but the BM12 is cleaner, tighter sounding bass... I'm going to let it breakin good before a finial yea or nea, The suspension is super stiff on the BM12, maybe after it loosens up some, it will get louder at a more moderate power level, both are great subs and you couldn't go wrong with either one......

As to my upgrade, I installed a amp kill switch on the 12 volt control wires, this way when it in for service or for any reason I want to kill the amps from coming on.... I can flip the hidden switch, in the pass I pulled amp fuses when in for service work, no chance of anyone cranking up above set level and blowing my sh$t up....

I also installed a 1000W power inverter under the pass rear seat in place of the jack... don't really need it, but, I got in trade for a set of house speakers that was given to me and had the 4 ga wire also, it a totaly free mod... so what the hell, why not... might want to brew a pot of coffee at the hunt club or something....

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm.......................


I was gone canoeing and getting wasted for three days and all I see is more excuses as to why the sub isnt playing (hole is to small, cant get your thing to line up with the hole, blah blah...), then a four line run on sentence that tells me nothing. I tell ya what, if I left for a month this place would just go to hell.
