Tigerdirect.com sells tons of barebone kits. Literally any one of them would work fine. Though I'd probably just look for a cheap complete computer or CL and save the hassle of building one.

Umm he dumps it, cars swerve to miss, one car doesn't miss, or another car misses but while swerving hits another car. Chain reaction.

If only it was Russia, and I could have said tank or pocket bike. Ha, my mom came back from Russia last night.And which did she use? Was she vacationing?

After taxes, of course.... Of course.

Well my porn blog idea is reaching $100 per month. Let's see if I can scale it x10, and maintain it.

I'm curious how many of you are against what he's doing because he runs the risk of crashing and harming others in the process, or simply because he might crash and harm himself? I certainly agree that it's idiotic to put other lives at risk for one's self enjoyment, but if risking one's own life for enjoyment doesn't risk others in the process then who are any of you to judge them?

Your new toy is going to vibrate like crazy. All these pics of zcons makes me want to do another bass setup!

As long as it doesn't show up the day before the wedding and it's broken.

Hope it works J, sounds like this could be your chance to start over from all the BS you've had to deal with.

Thought maybe we found out your fetish.

In my anthro class last year (started at 8am) there was a couple who would drink 1-2 Monsters/Rockstars,etc every single day. Gnarly shit.

You weren't prepared for that knowledge drop huh?

I like the rice paddy hat.

But I still have tinfoil on my head!

If this wasn't SSA than I would have most likely never said the above.

Okay now I just don't know if you're trolling me. For the sake of not feeling like an asshole if you actually go out and buy them. They are not magical, they are not equivalent to a bus filled with speakers, and they aren't exceptional. They do however carry a certain nostalgia, and people love to say they are fucking awesome.

I agree on it all, although I wouldn't trust most people to tell them they have to use their ears.I've seen too many people turn up the gain way too high in combination with maxing out the headunit and they couldn't hear anything wrong with that. I think that's the kind of people that should use it. You can't even talk sense into them by saying they should use a smaller amp if they don't want to break anything, because someone has told them/they have seen they can handle XXXX amount of watts. Obviously the better solution would be that someone did it for them, but that isn't always possible (in their eyes). You can't idiot proof it though. That is the whole crux of the scenario. Ok, you can as I described before: turn a 1k amp into a 200w, a 5k into a 1k, etc, but then why even bother? That is what is safe and no DD-1, oscope or anything else will get anyone else there. Teach them to listen and there is a solution.Interesting, so the DD-1 or a scope aren't able to set it closer to a safe setting then your ears, that's the point why you shouldn't use the equipment right? (obviously it's not only your ears, but also smell and your eyes to see if they aren't exceeding mechanical limit)Now I know how to explain people that those tools are pretty much worthless. Exactly. The entire issue is that the sound source is not constant, so no matter what method you use the amp will most likely be below and over it's limits during usage (or as Sean said, if you set the gain low enough to be "safe" then your turning a 5k amp into a 1k amp). One ought to be able to hear this change when it's too much, and then adjust the volume and/or bass knob accordingly.Perhaps the following analogy would help: Imagine a canon set to hit a target 1km away. In order to hit the target the canon is set to 50 degree angle (gain). Regardless of the method used to find this angle, it is the degree at which the canon will hit the target at 1km. This target could be thought of as signal A. Now move the target to 1.5km. Without any adjustment to the angle on the canon the shot will fall short. This could be thought of as a change to the sound source, or signal B, and in this instance the output of the amplifier would be less, and would require more gain or an increased signal level to match the output that signal A would have yielded. The canon's angle has to be readjusted in order to match the new distance. Say the new angle is 60 degrees for a 1.5km target. If you moved the target back to 1km than the cannon would over shoot (or the gain would be too high and the amp would reach it's limits and distort the sound). So no matter what method you use to set the angle of the cannon for a given distance it will be off when the distance is changed (input source change, went from ipod to phone, cd, usb, radio, different song, etc). No matter what method used to set the gain on the amp it will either be in and out of it's limits as the sound source changes, or it will be set low enough to be "safe" and you just made your 5kw amp into a 1kw amp. Regardless of how it's set you're still going to need to make adjustments from source to source via volume knob / bass knob. Perhaps if the DD-1 measured the sound source accurately (which I have absolutely no idea) than it could be useful IF your sound source never changed. Hopefully my analogy wasn't too confusing to follow.

Since their site upgrade I don't see their enclosure suggestions anywhere. The forum section has some recommendations, but it's for older drivers. Found it: Sealed box: 2-3.5cuft | 2-3.5 cuft Ported box: 3-5cuft | 3-5cuft Sub OD: 15.625” | 15.625” Cut ID: 14.125” | 14.125” Mounting depth: 11.250” | 11.250” Displacement: 0.21cuft | 0.21cuft

Without vehicle space constraints it's sort of hard for people to make meaningful suggestions aside from "be careful." Do you have a specific tuning frequency you want to use? Fi's suggestions would be 6-10ft^3 total for 2 15" SP4s. The increased enclosure volume will yield greater efficiency (more output), most likely a flatter reponse, and a decrease in power handling (which I wouldn't consider bad). Once you have a rough idea of how much volume you have to work with in your vehicle than we can model different alignments within your constraints, and see what suits you best.

Found another packrat chilling under the AC unit this morning. Sprayed it out with the hose, and brought out the "house" cats. Packrat hides in the corner, we throw the male cat right in and he just runs off, then the female cat chases it across the yard until it jumps down a crack in the wall. It was the funniest shit in the world watching the one cat have no idea what to do, and the other go on a rampage trying to catch it.
