Okay I guess it's not hard to figure out... GREEN ----- vented 0.25ft^3 40hz BLUE (This one seems to be pretty linear like the sealed, but with a little more output) ------- vented 0.25ft^3 30hz YELLOW ------ sealed 0.25ft^3 PINK ---- IB Okay doing vented with low tuning is going to have an extremely long port length, so that's out. IB only has an increase in output from around 30hz - 55hz. (who knows with cabin characteristics). I may end up adding a subwoofer down the road, so output in the bottom range isn't a huge concern. Now if it was 150hz or something, that would be a different story. So from modeling, it looks like I should just do sealed.

Over the course of a few years, I've seen many different positioning ways for kick pods. Is there one way that's the best for imaging but due to the different dashboards on vehicles, you see some positioned differently? I'm assuming it also depends what speakers are mounted in the kicks. I'm using exodus ex-anarchys for midbass + midrange. http://www.diycable.com/main/product_info.php?products_id=538 I'm using peerless hds tweets for the highs. http://www.europe-audio.com/Product.asp?Product_ID=5233 Due to the size of my kick panel area and the relatively large mid driver, one of the drivers is going to be slightly tucked under the dash. I'm assuming it's better to "tuck" the mid driver, where as the tweeter might "go crazy" with something in the way. As you can see, it won't be tucked in much... Now onto firing angles. Green: fire across to the opposite seat. Purple: fire to the same side. Blue: fire directly into the "center hump" in dash. So would the green be the best way for imaging? Or is it something that I should test out?

Wanna guess which plot is sealed, vented, and IB?

Driving home right now on the freeway, Semi right next to me blows a tire / retread, scares the shit out of me, pieces flying all over my car...

Ill graph the ib. and see how much volume I can really get. Off hand I remember a super low tuning was equivalent to the sealed response, but just higher spl overall

Ill compare ib when im home. I can find the volume of the pods with cat litter or rice. If I eqd the major peak at 55hz region, then gradually eqd the rest, wouldn't it have more output but still sound pretty linear in response?

There not even worth the flimsy outer mold. I will never use them again or even recommend them. Worst thing is there not even sealed. Funny you say that because I'm actually planning on cutting open the back of mine once there finished. How much are you planning on cutting out? Q-Logic has no back what so ever, meaning they are flimsy as hell. Mine won't flex or bend at all. Not sure how much I'll cut out, I'll probably take a sharpie to the back, outlining the hole, then post it up to see what Sean or Brad have to say. Listen to them first sealed is what I'd say. It also wouldn't hurt to measure the volume of the "enclosure" and model them with your drivers and then model them IB to see the difference. Then relisten and see if the difference is desirable. If so, then its time to vent into the fender. Most likely venting will be your friend unless you end up with some serious volume. Good point. Vented gives a big increase in the lower range, Which I want And I can always use the 31band eq in the ms8 to bring any peaks down.

Indeed. Amusing really. If I don't like a band a year or so down the road it's a pretty strong indication that they were shitty to begin with. I still have the first album I ever bought myself and still listen to it on occasion. Sean would hate the dance music I have on the can's at work during the day to keep me cranking along. What kind of dancing? The sweaty kind that european women love in massive night clubs that don't close until sunrise.

Beards galore lol

vroom vroom vroom.

Yeah, just the idea was just tempting for it's easiness, but realistically not a chance.

Yeah, but I think there a few hundred and don't even have them specific to my car, so yeah. I bought a lot of materials so I can try different things and not have to worry about running out. This may be easier said then done, but I'm thinking about once I have the baffles aimed and mounted, to try and cut out small wood panels to go around on the sides (basically to fill in open areas). So the shape and contour of the kick pod isn't 100% dependent on the baffle and base, or I'll have volcano looking pods. Then stretch the fabric, resin, and so forth. Of course I may just get the baffles mounted, stretch the fabric over, and it's fine.

Then my apologies for being ignorant.

You know they just played the Mesa Ampitheater on the 16th right? J Yeah but I couldn't make it.

On to funny things, The same company that's in partnership with SMD that made the distortion detector that Sean loves, is now making a device for measuring amplifier output in watts with a given ohm load.

I've tried Pandora so many times and just can't seem to enjoy it. I have to be in control, lol. I don't even like to put my iPod on shuffle. When I use Pandora I end up pressing next 30 times until something I like comes on. It's definitely hit or miss. It might help if I took the time to thumbs up or thumbs down (or whatever the system is) the songs. Yes, it's pretty confusing at first, but once you get the hang of it, it's nice. Sorry, I had to.

I should have been more specific about the term Four wheeling, as this is what I did: Obviously you can't compare a stock vehicle to one that's not, but I don't really see tricking out an explorer like a jeep for 4x4ing.

Outlaw is in the kick right? What's the difference between headrest and legal? Legal is dash?

Where the fuck do you find this shit. I randomly stumble upon videos and I tuck them away in their own bookmarks' folder for times like these. 9 times out of 10 the video links stay valid so I can melt the brain cells of helpless victims up to years afterwards. There's a special spot in hell reserved just for me . Great.

You know your teacher blows when she assigns the hw on a Tuesday, makes it due on Thursday, but doesn't actually upload it until Wed Night.

Where the fuck do you find this shit.

Bringing me back to high school and that was a LONG time ago Nostalgia, for better or for worse.
