    Flexin out the Q

    I happened to make a post about playing material below the tuning enclosure a few weeks ago. Here's a visual of the driver's excursion VS frequency. Enclosure tuning: 30hz As you can see, frequencies below tuning cause extreme excursion. Leading to what Nick stated, and has been stating for years.

    Julian's Picture(s) a day thread

    I like the stop idea. Make a new block, paint it black. Then it'll look legit.

  7. I'll try to make the show at your shop Justin. Gives me incentive to fix up my a-pillars.

    what doed the cone, spider, voice coils do

    The cone is the "face" of the driver, the circular part that you can visually see moving inward and outward. On the other side of the cone, directly in the center, is the voice coil, shaped like a tube, often times made of paper, and wire is wrapped around it (coil). Also connected to the cone and voicecoil is a stiff disk with wrinkles in it. This is the spider / spider assembly. It keeps the voice coil aligned during travel, supplies a force causing the voice coil to return to it's resting position when no power is being applied. Sometimes the tinsel leads are woven in, other times they go above the spider. The tinsel leads carry the signal to the voice coil. The voice coil sits in a hole drilled through the motor (metal and magnets), this is called the gap. The front plate, pole piece, and back plate are often made of metal and used for creating a path for the magnetic field from the magnet. A/C current is applied to the voice coil and this creates an electromagnet. A/C current is in the form of a sine wave, so the polarity of the electromagnet changes in relation to the cycle of the sine wave. This polarity change causes the voice coil to be pulled and pushed in the gap from the outer magnetic field. The cone of the driver then moves inward and outward since the voice coil is connected directly to it. As the cone moves, so air is displaced, and sound is created. There are several different geometries used for positioning the voice coil in the gap, all have their benefits and weaknesses. Of course there are tons of other factors that effect a speaker's frequency response.

    Port placement in jeep?

    I had a hardtop, liked port and sub back, and port and sub up, but since yours is a soft top, id probably lean towards firing to the rear.

    I wish I knew.
  12. Most amps don't have enough on-board crossovers for going active. Sundown, Zed, off the top of my head, do. If you go that route, remember you will be running back and forth when making changes. This may make it harder for you to just sit down and listen between one configuration and another. Another helpful feature often sought after is: Time Alignment. I don't believe any amp has T/A. I'm not very up to date as to which headunits offer what features, but I do know Pioneer, and a few other companies make head units that can handle 2way and 3way setups, and have T/A. Audison and JBL make their processors, bit one, bit ten, and ms8. Rockford has their 360.2, and just came out with a new addition. I would figure out first what drivers your planning on using, and how many. Then you know what exact crossover features you need, and how extensive of a processor you need (2way, 3way).

    I had spaghetti, and heirloom tomatoes. We got one of those fancy kitchen aid mixers, still have to try making pasta with it.

    Welcome to the IHoP

    Distance? Its only a couple hundred yards out. Listening to the waves crash now. Not sure on the temp, but its the Northern Gulf so I'd venture a really random guess and say 55-60? I know it's close, but just being able to look out and see it, is rather awesome, even if you don't have the time to wonder down there. I haven't been to the beach in a while, although I did drive up the california coast last summer up to sf.

    How would I get an audio job?!

    I never said there wasn't. I'm simply saying everything is relative to the lifestyle you want to live. Would you be happy working at an install bay making, 20k, 25k a year? Certainly if you owned your own shop that's a different story. I would do some more research. What you may enjoy doing now, you may not like in a few years. You may also find that you enjoy working on your stereo, but when it comes down to working on other people's stereos, you get tired of it rather quickly.

    That's cause you live in a village, and it takes ten minutes to reach the other side. I go through $30 a week, at ~28mpg.

    I figured it might, but the pictures were cool, and didn't want to leave any out. Going through a slide show, finally had to stop myself after flipping through hundreds.
