LV Baby!

I'm drunk so i'm hitting the hot dogs. First one in a couple years. Drink a little more and go for a corn dog?

Yes.

I think I'll likely order the bamboo ones and try them out. I've been listening to the same songs for the last couple weeks on my headphones, getting well acquainted with the material for testing.

I wasn't looking at them specifically because they used neo. Depth will play some part in my choice, and the relatively slim neo motor may prove to be easier to fit on my dash. But neo or not neo isn't any concern for me. I know, but that is the issue with their price. Definitely. Especially considering their price one year to the next.

I hate that as well. Or "I don't give a shit how it sounds inside, how do I make it loud outside?"

Yeah pretty much got the 3rd set for free so...eh ill likely not use them. Wire them up with the car alarm horn under the hood.

If you can't get them ON axis it is really NOT a good idea. I can, as long as the OD is under 3.5". Now if I decided to go with a bigger midrange (~4"), then see below. The stage height improved immensely when I placed the tweeters up on the dash, I'm curious if the tweets were aimed differently in the kicks if that could achieve similar results. Though I thought even if they were a bit off in the kicks, the stage height wouldn't have affected. Otherwise I could always put a midrange + tweeter in the kicks, that won't take up much room, and I could use the on-board amp on the ms8 for the tweets. Definitely different aiming in your kicks can do the same. 4" is rather big for in car, but I LOVE my TB's. Getting them on axis and potentially in an enclosure is a much higher priority. the TB's are fucking fantastic in my kicks. Which driver specifically? tb w4 1337 price is a bit steep now. i picked them up for about ~45$ a year ago. these are the same sean is referencing. IIRC, he runs a pair indoors. sean might have some input on the the cheaper ferrite motor models. I was also looking at those, but paid more attention to others mainly due to the cone material. Although I did read the cone is fairly thin and doesn't offer the average metal cone sounding characteristics, so yeah.

They sure don't.

Because they make use of carbon fiber material for the cone, and have shiny phase plugs? I know a secret about the "carbon fiber." Friends don't keep secrets, and secrets aren't secrets if you tell anyone. I can guess what your inferring, but it's pretty immaterial to me.

Not a good idea at all. i thought thats the answer id get. o well. i still want to get the sub re coned and it may take the place of the zcon for a week or two before sale... but not perminantly. Use this driver as an opportunity to build you own. There are many soft parts available and even software programs to help. idk about all that... hell this sub is only the second sub i have ever takin apart before. the first one was a rockford p3 15 lol. but anyways yeah idk about building my own.. it would be pretty damn sick though.... Dude! You could start your own speaker company. Think about it.

They have twelve. There storing inventory in my garage.

To support a 5k amp you need more than a 250a. You know this. Why would you, or anybody, buy a 5K amp and not plan on using it? Just to say oyu have it? I never mentioned not using it. Realistically if your playing music, the impedance in the circuit will be varying all the time, so you won't be drawing the max current 24/7. Between his alternator and his battery reserve, he should not have an issue with voltage drop hurting anything. Sure he'll likely experience some slight voltage drop, but that doesn't mean his batteries will go dead, he'll get stuck on the side of the road, or his ecu will fry. There is a misconception that I as pointing out. Battery reserve has NOTHING to do with voltage drop when the vehicle is on and when you are trying to prevent it from happening. The alternator(s) supply the +14V. Batteries, for a 14V system, rest at +12V. Once the current demand exceeds the output capabilities of the alternator voltage will drop. Period, the end. No if and's or but's about it, 250a inst enough for a daily setup on a 5k amp (this does not even mention the vehicle's electrical demands or other amplifiers used in the system) And if it is than your 5K amp is.....wait for it.....overkill. Maybe for some people driving around at 12V is ok I understand your point regarding exceeding alternator's output and voltage dropping to the batteries. So were ignoring float voltage, and assuming the batteries are poorly charged to begin with, yielding a flat 12.0v once the alternator's current supply is exceeded?

I told you. Change the gui back to gnome. First impression "oh this is cool". First impression as I tried to do something besides browse the web "" Yep. Open up the software center app and search for gnome-fallback. Install, restart, at login switch the gui to gnome classic.

Because they make use of carbon fiber material for the cone, and have shiny phase plugs? They are also a speaker Stef. You smartass!!! Lol Funny as I have owned and listened to the bravox 3 way set. Have you guys? I was just stating they look exactly like them except the basket. I'm sure their specs are different. You made it sound like you inferring they were the same drivers. I don't have to own them to prove they aren't the same speaker. I apologize for reading into your response and taking it the wrong way.

Between his alternator and his battery reserve, his electrical should be up to par.

Some opinions are helpful, others are not. When you say: "Nah man, you need more than a 250a alt to support a solid 5k amp. " Your making it sound like you play test tones with a pretty low impedance all day long.

I think you should do it. Each driver will "pick up" any notes the other driver isn't "hitting."

Welcome to the forum. Sounds like you have some nice stuff, be sure to make a build log. Greetings from Tucson.

I believe you measure from the center. For end correction, I think you add 0.5*portwidth to your port length.

I wish I had a chicken pot pie right now.

I told you. Change the gui back to gnome.
