    box design

    my friend wants me to build him a box for his 2 12" lanzar vibe dual 4's and i cant find any specs on these subs let alone what cubes/tuning freq. to build for, its going to be ported for SQ-L if anyone can help me out. thanks and aparently if i try to just type SQ-L without the dash, i get LSQ?
  3. the red got ripped out of the harness to my 4900 in my crash, where is the best place to get the replacement harness for this?

    substage decision

    So far my favorite bass came from my OEM which had a......for lack of a better term.......fat sounding bass, defined hits and never lost anything during a long bass note. If i can stick with that kind of bass i want to.

    substage decision

    I'm getting a new Fit Sport and considering that its the premium sound i was just going to upgrade by intergrating a sub into it, problem is, i am picky. I dont want overpowering bass but i want to feel it, and it has to be clear. It will be a single sub setup of whatever size, since i have plenty of room *grand total of 41 cubes in the car* Have at this, i want to do it right on the first try this time.....

    substage decision

    Best 10" SQ Setup for $300 or less?

    i recommend the OEM 10" i just got mine and its amazing, seems structurally sound and the only reason i could think that the surround would come loose from the cone is the glue not adhering to the fiberglass as well as it should. As for the performance, i ran a 15" AB DX in a ported and put this in a ported and by ear its not as loud, but somehow its building more pressure to the point of its shaking my hat off my head where the DX could barely move my wipers.

    2002 Civic Progress

    im working on figuring out a system to act like the torque bars so i still have an open trunk instead of having to prop it, but its a pretty challenging item to design.

    2002 Civic Progress

    well now doesnt that tweeter install look familiar haha, only makes it better that its in the same gen lx as mine XD '05 LX Coupe and i feel the pain of ripping everything out of this car just to do the rear speakers, and to make it better i had to take out the rear torque bars for the trunk to fit my 6x9s, so now i got a 50lb trunk to hold up!!

    Happy 4th of JULY Debut

    wow this is a shame....miss one deadline and all of this.....woooo......i have faith that their taking their time on these instead of rushing and bringing out half a product.......its been a while since i talked to chad but he did say that itd be if anything not long enough, then he went and spilled the news to me like 2 weeks before they announced it on the site lol. because of that honesty i would wait and see what they make with time, things are better that way. if chad ever gets on and reads this, yes i did spill it to my friends but forced them to not tell anyone, and they kept their mouths shut and some even stayed away from the audio parts of their forums for the sake of keeping your secret dustin

    blown tweets

    Somehow i just discovered that the tweets are blown in my door speakers. Right now i have american bass SQ coaxials in there and i was thinking about going with their component line. The closest i have found to match the components that AB has are the pro series sm16-90 from soundstream. I have the amp to power them but wanted to know how they would sound in my doors, i have plenty of highs and bass to compliment more mids.
  21. wired it to one ohm on my old 15" L7 with no gain or boost of any sort, and it nearly blew the sub very VERY under-rated amps

    HiT dEM LoWS!

    nice to finally be on the same forum as others with the appreciation of a nicely staged setup. I'm sure yours will kill mine but its a work in progress. Just tuesday i made my friend jump out of his seat to Red - Breathe into me. Just with the flat out volume and accuracy he liteally jumped out of his seat. It's a wierd thing to hear a car with a clean mids/highs setup around here, theres only one other that is like mine, and i designed it

    H/U install for friend

    got it done, took 6-7 hours *lost track* but everything works the way it would with a harness adapter. Biggest pain was trying to fit the wiring through the firewall. As for the ground, i found a mount for the steering column that was real close that i grounded to. I officially know to much about s10's now.....
  24. Ok, so i get a call from my friend asking if i could fix his other friends mess up of trying to put in his H/U. I go over hoping he didnt do some of my earlier mistakes, which he did, he cut the factory harness trying to hardwire it...... i gave him 3 options: 1: try to rewire his factory harness which could be a while since its a GM 2: wire the H/U itself skipping the factory harness 3: trace each wire and figure them out, yet again skipping the harness and wiring everything to the back of the H/U We decided 2 would be the easiest solution *98 s10 ext.* and i was wondering if my plan was good and if he was going to lose any basic functions.... I'll wire the ground to a ground of course, the constant to a fused connection off the batt, and the hot off his ignition. There are no amps to be ran so the pwr ant would be left alone. Pull the door panels off and wire them to the cd player, then the same with the rear speakers. He is ok with losing his dash speakers. I just want to know if this will work and he wont lose any functions. And to make sure im right, red is hot, yellow is constant right?

    Fi SSD 12" D1 + Diamond D3400.2

    Im looking to downgrade from my current setup considering all the damage that im doing to my car and myself. I was going to do maybe a 1.3-1.5 cube sealed with a 12" SSD and power it with a d3400.2 at 2 ohm. It puts out 800 max at 2 ohm and i think its a little under-rated. Would this work well, im shooting for SQ without so much overly powering bass. Rock and Metal are my major listening habits btw
