    IAK needs an "IHOP"

    ME too! I want to do a double baffle with the subs recessed for all 4 using the gaskets still. Even if you recess 3/4" the subs will still be exposed. I'll get the outside measurement with the gasket on and sub screwed in tomorrow. Even though I made 3 boxes I'm not happy yet. The 3 cubes for 3 is big in my opinion. I'm going to figure out one that is .7 for each sub. But I'm probably spinning my wheels because I haven't heard any of them in the car yet. Nor on full power. But on half power 200 I can hear the bass at the mail box 8 houses down.

    Yes 7 and 7/16 is a snug fit. any bigger and you won't have enough meat for the screws and any smaller it won't drop in

    IAK needs an "IHOP"

    Not direct but trimmed 8 gauge wire to the push pins. Direct would be nicer though. I had purchased stinger 8guage speaker pins which are real nice the knu wire fits in perfect and is reduced to a pin that slides in to the terminal real spiffy. Problem is the pins add 1/4 inch width on both sides and then I need to 90 down to get past the double 3/4" baffle. It wouldn't fit! So I ended up notching where the terminals are and it leaks. I was like CRAP . I'll probably purchase an amp for the mids this week and really would like a sundown but I may low-ball and swap it out later. All recommendations are being considered at the present time. Pawn shop has some nice zed's for around 50. But I was looking at a 4 channel audio pipe right around 1 bill or the discus for a bill or anything else. I hate indecision but money rules this time. It's real hard for me not to just pick up a saz 125 but I know I won't be happy with just 2 channels

    I finally got the alt to battery 0 gauge ran. Now all I have to do is run it to the back. For what it's worth the cutout to get the sa 8's to fit is 7 7/16 inside hole to clear the speaker pins these things really need direct wiring by the time you get your wire in there and try to get it past the baffle you'll have problems!!!!!! I have to reface the horn it leaks and I buggered up the flush mount! So much for using trick 8 gauge power wire and speaker pins By the way measuring the gasket doesn't work either trust me I tried. 2 last thing to get before I do the final install. I need a saz 100d I picked up some zapco coaxial for the rear doors and some stillwater design midbase for the front now doors and I need some good tweeters. Every thing else is ready

    Hdf or Mdf??

    Density is a measure of porosity. Weight is a measure of specific gravity. If someone would send me a 8 x 16 piece of HDF I can measure the difference between the 2 types by nuclear gauge relative to the moisture content of the product. A nomograph can be made for the following 3 values to determine density based on thickness, area, and humidity.

    Final port size is 7 3/4 x 8 1/2. The line is approx 7ft . First impression of the box to me is like a band pass seems really good on the low notes but has a cutoff around above 50-60. As Jacob has said they are stiff and need to be broke in. I only put approx 400 to the pair. I did have a couple of install issues. I had to re route my cutout to it to drop in and then I had to notch where the terminals were. I'll post up some photos of the gaskets so everyone can make sure their cutouts are right. One thing they are not is Loose and Sloppy! I'm building yet another box tomorrow 1.5 cubes kerf ported tuned to 35. Note I was using my zune directly to the amp which isn't the best source. For the finished install I have an saz 1500 and will be running an audio control lc6i which should give me 6 volt input.

    I lost a day in transit already. Originally the tracker, said expect them on Friday, but the last up date says Saturday. I am ready, well the boxs are and I suppose I can Okie it into the van since the Honda is still in the shop since the wife ran it into a BUSS!!! Dummy. However the car may be finished by Friday. One way I did come out on top is I got the body shop to run the alt to battery wire for free since they had to take apart the whole front end.
