Oh, and I'll add that I have done butt joints with just glue and no nails or wood screws without premature failures. Oh and I've been on job sites my entire life... Funny thing is, it taught me nothing about subwoofer box construction.

Pretty general statement there isn't it? I have over 14 years experience in the construction industry, and I'd typically put more faith in the wood screw than the wood glue. I've seen wood glue seams break infinitely more times than wood screws pulling loose. And I've destroyed hundreds, let me emphasize, hundreds of MDF boxes in my career and I have yet to see the wood glue joint break before the mdf itself.

That's funny, last time I checked the wood glue is stronger than the wood screws anyways. Brad nails really don't make a structural difference at all.

that's the weird part, I have an awesome connection

not impressed.

tiny port, I doubt that amp is doing any real power and you are not giving it enough current to even support over 2000 watts rms.

brad nailing is soooo much faster

CoD4 is sorta fun when the game doesn't get laggy and perfect headshots are wasted.

Jacob, us street competitors only ask that you stress efficiency. Other than that you already own our wallets, lol.

I would kill for gas that was only 3.42 a gallon. Currently 3.72 a gallon for regular in NY

Audio Obsessions, Albany NY sells them. Although any audison dealer should be able to get them iirc they are the same company.

I get my eclipse 8455 back around monday. It's kinda sad that I just bought 1 headunit, and ordered myself a Cd7200mkII as well. The latter is for my sq project and the deal I got on buying my 8455 back was too good to pass up so it's going in my winter beater.

Smaller ported boxes are generally less efficient at lower frequencies. But they are more efficient at a specific frequency. You could loose some low end extension, and it could feel less "boomy" but should be a tad bit more punchy. Just make sure you have enough port area.

to SSA!

you didnt mention a ground

I don't whore it up much, lol.

most 12v battieries are "static" between 12.8 and 13.2 volts

You could go with a large mid-bass tweeter combo, but than you would be getting into custom kick panels.

actually camaro's like that are common place in Japan, it looks to either have a sr20det motor or the inline 6 from the skyline (which could actually be the sr20det, I just can't remember my japanese inline sixes right now, I just woke up).

I know that when I first saw this thread pop up, I was severely disappoined that I was at work and would be unable to see any pics of this "crap" sundown product... Than I realized it had to be a joke as Jacob has OCD with leftover newspaper when he packs stuff.

Adrian_D there was an offer for a rack amp for you on page 12816, just a friendly heads up.

This is not Sound Quality however you slice it. I'm not trying to argue with you. Life is full of facts and opinions, facts are not up to interpretation from opinions. What you do with said facts are based on your opinions on said fact but do not change the fact.

Double post, sorry. Since I already have the post space... The reason you don't run multiple sets of speakers because now you have more speakers to eq, time align, and you have more noise. *meaning more going on, SQ should be simple, sounding effortless* Frequencies from as low as 45 hz to 20khz plus are localizable, meaning that your ears and brain can process and determine where the sound is coming from. If you have speakers behind you reproducing these frequencies than you will be able to tell where the sound is coming from and it will be detrimental to the theory of a soundstage, which should extend out in front of you sometimes even seeming to be outside the vehicle.

I'm gonna have to side with Sean on this one. Sound Quality is a definition not subjective. Sound Quality is reproducing the original recording with as little distortion (the most accuracy) as possible. Sound Quality is about tonality, imaging, soundstage... It is judged in a competition, if it was purely subjective than it would not be judgeable. The only reason you add more subwoofers in a sound quality system is to enable the reproduction of lower frequencies. Reproducing subsonic frequencies requires either a huge subwoofer box (IB works as well) or a lot of cone moving (more woofers). I have never seen a sound quality car that uses more than one set of speakers (whether 3 way or 2 way)((excluding 5.1 sq cars)). Now the subjective part is what do you like. We are all going to recomend things we either have first hand experience with or we have knowledge about. Sean can come off very snobbish, He has answered these questions and argued his point more times than I have probably eaten breakfast in my entire life. So to the original poster to clarify, you are looking for a good sounding system that can accurately reproduce music within the confines of your budget?
