I understand DC Power is switching shops and all that jazz, but it's still no reason for not replying...

Sounds like you like to push your equipment to the limit...

Man you work fast. Fun build to follow. I'd cross over a little lower, especially if you have decent mids already.

Fit as much cone area as you can with optimal enclosure volume. Oh and lots of power

Nutz man

You clearly aren't our resident audiophile so the fi Qs aren't for you. RE? eh... Icons get loud and sound awesome doing it. BLs get loud (likely louder then icons ) and still sound good. But it's really going to come down to the install and enclosure.

Happy Birthday man! Age:

It would have to be pretty open for it to work ib, otherwise it'd sound like a leaky sealed box?

I'm not an average guy so I guess that explains it. There is more than enough average stuff being done. I like a challenge and try to be creative when I build stuff. Thanks. No ones average I'm interested in seeing how you mount and seal the mdf to the rear Should be cool in the end, Having plenty of storage but with bass

Does not show up, what's the picture? Loads for me 2009 porsche 911 targa

tuned in! Not your average build

IIRC they even had some people stake out the buyer (I think he was in London or something) at the time of delivery to try to see his reaction and such, but they unfortunately didn't really get anything. The whole thing was hosted on a website years ago. Either way.....yeah, that was some funny shit as well. Yeah the address given for the buyer was at a coffee shop, so they had someone in the shop waiting for the person to come and get it. Funny thread back in the day Edit, Found a link about it for those who wanna good laugh: http://www.zug.com/pranks/powerbook/

That shit will blow your mind! Shit almost hit as hard as my 2 12's! I think it was like liquid nails or something I forgot but it did the job it got carpeted and sold.... I bet. Got more balls then me to carpet something, I'd end up with more wrinkles then my grandmas... face.

That white shit on the box add dbzz?

Convenient so when you sell them to buy something that actually fits your needs you won't lose money r o f l.

I've been trying to hold back but the temptation is too strong. I love three ways

Just set your gain on your amp by ear, and pay attention to signs of stress (heat on dustcap(will be warm, but shouldn't be burning hot), smell of voicecoil getting toasty, hear clipping. etc) if you feel their being stressed too much then lower the gain. Always nice to have headroom

Just for the record, JL isn't crap. May be over priced...

Send Fi car audio an email, or pm Nick or Scott on here.

Not their fault, so don't bitch and moan. Either learn how to build an enclosure and do it yourself or pay someone else to do it. Whatever you get stuck at or confuses you, just ask....

go die.

Then you better start learning Crash course, You can use this calculator for determining enclosure volume: http://www.the12volt.com/caraudio/boxcalcs.asp#rec Then you can use http://www.the12volt.com/caraudio/boxcalcs.asp#porsq for determining your ports width height and length. (Make sure your port area is sufficient or you'll end up with port noise. general rule is 12-16square inches of port area per foot. Not saying the rule is perfect, just a guideline you can follow.) Then your gonna want to subtract your subwoofer's displacement, port displacement, and any bracing displacement. Now you'll have your net volume. So build a box so your net volume falls in between the manufacturers suggestion. Then start cutting pieces?

Most HUs can't put out enough voltage to cause most amps to clip with the gain set to minimum. And actually in the simplest of terms, the gain knob is precisely a volume control. Yes I understand the concept and the relationship to the headunits volume knob and an amps gain. But I didn't call it a volume knob for a reason, some read it as "volume knob" and simply turn it up without knowing.

What vehicle do you own?

I'm jealous
