    BTL problems continue

    pull it out of the box and see if the spider has come unglued
  3. i also notice u say u leave the radio on all the time.... Low voltage problem?
  4. maybe the remote line is too weak to power up both amps. Get you a relay perhaps?

    12" BTL how loose should the suspension get?

    it prob isnt gettin warm because you are playing a tone around tuning which has higher impedance rise = less real power. To make a point... put a 60hz tone on it and do the same thing, i bet it got hot quick, but dont do it too.

    ReconeHelp!!!

    that must be a typo... They want 180 for a recone to an SE? The BL recone is cheaper than that...
  8. take a small piece of wire and connect it into the power insert on your amp. Take the other end and touch and hold it inside the remote insert. This will temporarily "jump start" your amp to see if the remote line needs attention. If your amp comes on, then the headunit needs attention. Curious as to how the voltmeter gauge is wired up. Where does it connect to?
  9. no problem, custom is always the best. You are in control of anything that happens and can fix it with ease... plus it's just so much better. you'll see when u do your first one.
  10. u want to OC something.. get in touch with me. I'll tell ya how to do it safe. All i need to know is the brand and model of your motherboard and the memory modules u are using, model number specifically. From there... i need to know your current cooling solution on your processor and how it was installed on your processor. I have a Q9300 that is set to run stable on an everyday basis - 24\7 from 2.54 to 3.33ghz on aftermarket cooling. runs no hotter than 57C on gaming. I tried to go higher but due to my memory speed needs to be dropped for slight tweaks.. it's not worth it for my purpose. I can get it higher but what i do.. processor speed isn't as important as memory speed.

    Drive By Testing!

    Jesus! And i thought walls for terrible for driveby... and vans too due to their low window area... You have completely killed that thought! Will they let you run in a driveby class other than DB5 since u run off of low power?
  12. Me and phi have been talkin about future services and products we would like to do soon and one thing we would like to talk about is meter stands. We may or may not have any by the time your meter ships out from us but we may too We compete in MECA so those who do or will will know that MECA uses a meter stand for everything! IF you are going to use a meter to test yourself and your sanction(MECA for instance) uses a meter stand, then wouldn't it be great to get stands with your meters too? That's what we have been thinking! Of course meter stands aren't hard to make.. but to get everything at once is nice too. We have been talkin about a design for MECA for a meter stand that can "transform" into both an SPL meter stand AND a driveby stand with a 20" attached measured piece from windshield. there is currently no info on when they will be made but we are definitely planning on it pretty soon. For other sanctions, feel free to give us specs or the rulebook so we can make stands for those too.
  13. The 9th group buy guy we recently added for an RTA is going to have his custom calibrated for a much wider metering range. His will be measurable all the way down to 10hz and up to 22khz. Same amplitude level. This custom adjustment is tacking on an extra $50 charge but will not effect anyone's group buy discount. Yes SPL-Lab does do customization in calibration methods but one should only request it if they really know it's necessary for their goal.
  14. i've got ALL the prices that a US citizen would have to pay in this group buy, i'll paste it again- Here is the official pricing YOU would have to pay if you did it yourself first.

    Drive By Testing!

    no, hehe, driveby is much harder than that tyoung. Driveby is 6ft away, not 12". Hey Gary, please tell me that 131.6 was just your peak and not your average right?!?! Paul is gonna be dumbfounded if that's legit!

    Word on the Street

    8 15s should be plenty if he has a large enough vehicle for them... If he's got em all crammed up in somethin... well, sucks for him. Beejay with the 4 15" Wardens should show him up too if he went! I've seen him do over a 159 in bassbox which is insane on just 4 15s.
  17. All you guys need is just ONE MORE PERSON to get another price break!
  18. if u want a bench to test amp output.. u need 12v batteries, not a power supply. Power supply that large would be in the thousands of dollars. U will need a battery charger and the thing that sucks is u will be testing off battery only so the voltage will not be that great on large amps.
  19. I see a lot of people gettin into car audio lately with some pretty decent setups, a lot better than the average joe going to the shop to have their stuff installed. Any of you ever thought about competing? I used to be like a bunch of you... Thinking competition is too professional. Been doin it for years, know way more than what you may know... Well you know what. That's not the case at all! Many people i have met over the past several months are newcomers who have grown a lot since their first competition. You meet many people who have plenty of knowledge to share. You gain knowledge and the respect of the car audio world. I had been in the competition scene for several years before i started competing which was actually just last October at MECA, the 1st sanctioned division i have competed with. If you live on the East Coast, central to southside, there are many MECA shows to attend! I highly recommend attending and competing at these shows to gain further knowledge about your equipment, your install and your vehicle. After being to several shows, you will see how much respect you gain about the car audio world itself and tend to grow maturity-wise about the whole hobby. There are MANY of us who compete. Many of us are members here on SSA. We are here to help in anyway possible. I like to meet new competitors and existing ones because there is never enough knowledge and experience to go around If you have any questions about MECA or competition, in general, ask me before reading the rulebook. The rulebook may seem overwhelming at first. That's why you should ask a competitor to summarize things up first prior to competing so it doesn't seem like you are jumping into something you know nothing about. I hope this post brings more competitors to the MECA association as I always love to meet newcomers to the hobby. Hope to see you soon as the year progresses.
  20. i'll post it up tomorrow, gotta get some sleep. If u got time, go to www.mecacaraudio.com and download the rulebook.
