The vinyl looks damn good!!! Can't wait to see them installed. How much time did it take to wrap each pod?

Obviously you are concerned what other ppl think? If you are happy with them then thats where its at.

Looks good. Are you happy with it?

for the E55 ? Nah, this is for the Blue Meanie My friend in high school was going to get one for his 80s full size Blazer, but he said they are illegal in passenger vehicles. Not sure on this, might want to check if you care. illegal in Colorado. I have an 8" steering wheel in my blazer, you can even drive with hand cuffs on.

Well he had more subs, that makes it better right? LOL. JK Sounds like you need to help them get a clue. (and a real meter)

as in a whole tank? any more info on that? i've heard of that as an alternative to seafoam, but not much about how to do it. aren't they theoretically the same thing? just make the engine's fuel burn a ton hotter? Deisel fuel to flush out the sludge on the oil side of the motor. when changing oil, drain old oil, poor in deisel fuel, run engine 5-10 min, drain deisel fuel, install new oil filter and add your normal oil. As far as carbon deposits on the intake side of the motor. You can spray cold water mist into the carb while the engine is running to break up carbon deposits. BTW the water is free.

Thats an EVIL looking enclosure design. Are you building it?

Inputting Parameters in WinISD Pro From the new project pop-up click the 'New' button beside the drop down arrow. Once this is done a new screen will pop-up. This screen is fairly straight forward - Just enter the brand, make and model of the driver whose parameters you plan on entering. Then click the 'Parameters' tab and you will see something like this: Ensure that 'Auto calculate unknowns' is on even if you have all the data. This is recommended because WinISD Pro can be very picky about the data and if it is even 1/1000th off it will reject the data so it is just easier to let it do the work. You might notice some small differences in the values from the calculated and the provided, but very rarely are these large enough to substantially effect modeling. This is the recommended method for entering driver parameters [if at any point you need to change the unit of a parameter simply click on the displayed unit and it will change]: Enter Mms and Cms which results in Fs being calculated. If Mmm and Cms are not known enter Fs. If Fs and Mmm or Cms are known enter Fs and the other known value.Enter Sd, Bl and Re. This will result in more auto calculations being made, but Qms and Qts will be blank. If Re is not available, go ahead and enter Sd and Bl.Enter either Qms or Rms, whichever is available, generally Qms is available.If Mms and/or Cms were not provided for input, now input Qes. This will cause some other fields to auto calculate.Enter Hc, Hg and Pe if available. These are not required, however Pe (RMS Power Rating) will give a good idea of how much power signal input to model with.Enter the number of voice coils. NOTE: Drivers using dual voice coils may cause the Bl and Re parameters to change when changing the connection wiring from parallel to series. Be sure to monitor these when changing the connection option, but WinISD should automatically change these values properly.Correct Znom (nominal impedance) if needed. Many times this will change to 6 and should be 2 or 4... or the ultimate resistance (in ohms) you intend to run based on the voice coil configuration and your connection setting (parallel or series).Enter Xmax and any other missing parameters if known and continue. DO NOT change any of the blue auto calculations. If they are only slightly different, this is okay. If they are off significantly, contact the manufacturer or vendor of the driver. If you want you can also tab over to the dimensions page and enter 'Dimensions'. Don't worry about the 'Advanced parameters' tab. The steps outlined should cause parameters to be calculated such that they can be saved without error. If there are problems saving then too many parameters were entered that are likely very close to the calculated value, but WinISD wants the mathematical ideal. Just delete one of the problem values it shows up and try to save after it has been calculated and keep trying until it works. In my experience only Fs needs to be calculated to continue.

I have no doubt that you can do the vinyl. You will definetly learn the tricks real quick once you give it a try.

Read the tutorial and it will tell you what you are doing wrong.

I recommend buying the one that has the features you need or plan on needing. Otherwise they are both quality companys.

You have to enter the values in a certain order. heres a tutorial. http://www.hometheatershack.com/forums/diy-subwoofers-general-discussion/6330-winisd-pro-tutorial-download-detailed-guide-how-use-winisd-pro.html

I honestly vote skipping the vinyl and just go for the paint. I say this from personal experience. Good luck which ever way you go.
