Alright, between the 2 threads, I'm convinced That makes shopping so much easier.

heh, I'll make sure it's tight. I just spent 45 minutes digging out the router, looking up the right part numbers, only to go back and read " and all Sears, Ryobi and Makita models. Made in the U.S.A. " I've got the ryobi R1801M1, R181FB1

Good. Cuz I loved my CDA-9855, and the new stuff loocks sweet. Why'd it take Alpine so long to break 2K?

For the sake of argument, let's assume 0 noise induction via power wires and rca cables. Gain full for .02 VS gain minimum with 5V. The 5V won't be cleaner? And since 0 noise induction is impossible, won't 5V still be preffered then?

My 6 Optima's will be behind my front seats on the floor...very close to my deck. I'll run the deck's power wires right down the center, between my seats. My amps will be connected in the same spot, so no voltage difference and so on. So I shouldn't have ANY noise. But at 4V, my gains being set properly, will be somewhere around 1/2. With 8V, gain all the way off, won't it be even cleaner? IDK...teach me! However it won't matter anyway, my deck will feed 2 AudioControl 6XS's...it has a built in line driver. But really, I like the idea of my volume knob being very low...means my deck will be putting a small fraction of its power out, no chance of any clipping, better SQ...right???

I been rackin my brain on this...how do you screw from the inside out? I'm walling my ride, almost all of the rear will be enclosure, with room in back for amps.

Is this true??

screw that

do you find any advantage at...JESUS...16V?? If you had the exact same deck, only at 4V, would it matter?

just a preference

Brian, Is that your new setup in your avatar?! How ya been? So that Lanzar's still runnin for ya? Some people have all the luck...the rest of us live through you

I haven't had my CDA-9855 since last january, my X-girlfriend got it in the break up. . Back before that, we considered selling it to get an Eclipse, I don't remember which one, but the main reason was the 8V...though no, I didn't have a problem at the time, except with the crossovers. I had 2 CDA-9855's and both suffered from a "pop" sound once in a while at certian frequency peaks that corresponded with different crossover points/slopes. So really, now that i'm starting from scratch as far as the source goes, I'd prefer the highest voltage possible along with everything else into consideration of course...cause at the end of the day, all gains at minimum would just mean minimal amplification of outside noise, right? I have an Audio Control 6XS and I need to get a second one...they have built in line drivers, so I could easily get away with a good 1volt....but why? So long as i like everything else about the deck, you know?

any of these putting out 8V or more?

for years I hated ported, but after learning and learning, i finally realized it was because most people tune higher...much higher (and have much less airspace) than my personal tastes. I can no longer justify using 50% of the cone's movement, trapping the other 1/2 in a sealed chamber. Port it. Transmission line. TPQW. Anything hexiBase would make. But don't waste the back 1/2 of the driver!

1/8" is CRAZY! so this: http://www.homedepot.com/webapp/wcs/stores...25X-_-100046844 and this: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00009K77D?smid=A...mp;linkCode=asn otta send me on my way? here are those links 1 by 1, hope this works, cuz I'm wondering the difference http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/showdetl.cf...tnumber=365-250 http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/showdetl.cf...tnumber=365-255 http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/showdetl.cf...tnumber=365-270

I like your thinking! and your avatar. scoot me a link or file

well to make them happy, go 4 cubes around 27-33Hz....still a bit large and low for music, but it's in home and may do some THX.1 duty? (ignore that...6 cubes 14-20Hz!!!)

sent the poly mids back, tinsel slap, got ripped off on that too

always learning...for instance, 1 gallon isn't enough for 1 window, let alone 2, and even after 13, its just gonna crack anyway. Savin for a welder and sheetmetal now. mach up to get space ideas

opti CAP that got stolen. I will never run caps again. seriousely, whats the point? EXTRA BATTERIES! i wanted to keep the cone, Chad said I could. Good thing, I never got my subs back, all i have left now god the old ones are ugly shes like a cat, loves to play in boxes! (yeah, she's givin daddy the finner) ill put some pics of the hyundai here too, why not expanding foam...every nook and cranny. this car floats now!

she just looks cute in here, prolly makes a better jungle gym anyway heather's new bed, not so comfy though Type R in it. It didn't like it, couldn't keep up with the MOFO. Never got to hear an AVA in it freakin tragic SPV70 feeding the opti, red top under the hood squares are sexy, squares are good 12's..ghey MOFO cone vs AVA cone MOFO basket R...ghey

kinda did a duplicate there on the 5.1@21Hz, owell similar pic as up there but looks better with speaker cutout L7done 2 blown avas posing just sitting in 2 boxes cut that $120 box open used scotch tape to keep resin off caulk seams 8guage power wires branched off a 4? hell no, thats my speaker wire!easy to hook up the DVC! that just looks awesome sounded the same as it did ported though

makin MDF rings XX-Colossus I bought from HexiBase 15" Avalanche basket. Got skrewed on recone, never got 2 of them back. makin a ported box for 2 12" L5's for a friend rounding a corner more after routered Lanzar OPTI2000D does NOT have soft turn on/off...it blew my second ava with turn off pop when I didn't have the side on the bandpass...freeair...bottomed out hard. Had to cut the speaker out, converted the 20HURTZ bandpass into a 5.1cube@21Hz ported box. Best box i've ever had. Ran a 15" Type R and 15" MOFO in it. front of the 15L7 box 3.5cubes@27Hz if i remember right. without the face on yet

How about big ported! 5cubes plus, 20Hz or lower. More home theater or home stereo? (either way I'd say the same, but everyone seems to think sub 30-35Hz for music is a waste...BAH!)
