cool, ty...i'll let her know....we are trying to push away from Rockford Fosgate and don't really like any other big mainstream subs in our area, lol. this is going in the bed of some toyota tundra quad cab she picked up at an auction for a cheap price...i imagine a audio person had it before cause it has a lid on it and a blowthrough already cut out...just nothing there.

i am new to building boxes and would like to know, about how accurate is the re box tool? I made a pretty nice little box tuned to 35 HZ and have no clue how accurate this tool is, so it would be good to know beforehand. thanks

I am curious what some of you are getting in a sealed setup with you Q's...my wife is kinda wanting a fairly loud setup (loud in the sense of volume, not db output)...I guess the term would be considered LSQ. Well, she wants to know what kind of numbers your subs are putting up in a sealed setup. Thank You

ANY INPUT??? WHAT IS GOING ON???

that would be fantastic, thanks nick

ports shorter, do you mean ports 1 &2 or ports 3&4...sorry, like i said, new to this. I am assuming 1&2. Plus, if it is at all possible, I wanna make it 4" wider total and take that difference off of the depth.

I am in pretty desperate need of help...I tried to design a box and I keep getting lost. I am working with about 18" in height, 48" in width, and roughly 20-25" of depth. I would like to do 2 15" BLs tuned to around 34 Hz or so. Can someone please help me out. Thanks.

Everyone else is posting, I might as well also, lol. I agree with a lot of the what is being said. It is one thing driving on the hwy at 55+ blaring a system, but it is a totally different perspective when sitting at a red light and I cant hear my talk radio cause some ass next to me is blaring his system. Yes, I do agree, those penalties are harsh, a little to harsh, but that is just my opinion. I understand the reason they are doing it, even though I think they should also look at other aspects/crimes and increase the fines for those, such as littering. As for those people who pointed out about how someone, forgot who, was using a statistic when he said he wasn't, get a dictionary, that was not a statistic. I am a statistician along with another member on this forum, MathMan...and sadly, not to long ago we both worked on some statistics for car insurance company, and the numbers of young, unexperienced drivers who were in accidents for distractions was overwhelming; and it was ridiculous how many were actually due to playing with their "brand new sound system." We came across at least 10 files out of 100 of teens crashing due to not paying attention to the road because they were playing with bass knobs and what-not. There were also police files we came across where people who had their system going full-tilt actually got tickets for, I forget the correct terminology, but I beleive it is something like hindering a emergency vehicle. Their reason in court, no lie, "I could not see them behind me because my mirrors were vibrating to badly." Just be happy you don't live in my area of FL, the law says 15FT in my area, NOT 25. I can fart and it will be heard 15 ft away, lol. Some people on here are acting way out of line, I understand you wanna listen to your system full tilt and blare it and whatnot, I do to....but people like M5 and not saying this is horrible and whatnot, they are saying be respectful about it. If you can't act like an adult, think, and see this; then I do apologize....don't refer back to being a third grader and start slandering, demeaning, and foul mouthing other people for their opinion...how childish; even though I did get a chuckle out of some of them. Oh, and people in my area do get tickets for throwing cig butts out of their window. I have seen two people get tickets for their pants being around their knees; the cop that gave them the ticket lives next door to me. He wrote it up as indicent exposure, it went to court, and the "kids" still got ticketed and got stuck with court costs.

Has anyone heard the new memphis Mojo's? If so, how do they sound and what would/could you compare them to?

Keep us updated, now I wanna know what is going on!

Hm, an answer with some "added facts" behind it. I like that. One other person IM me as well backing the Q's despite his using the BTL's. I usually hear BTL users/lovers only back that, rarely saying a Q, lol.

I think I will be going with the 12's. Sadly enough, I actually dreamed about the 15's last night. In the dream, they sounded great, but I realized one thing. The blowthrough isn't all that big of a hole in the back. Either way I am going to have to rip a seat out, but the kicker is, it is a lot easier to pull a 12 out through the blowthrough than a 15. My current trucks blowthrough is only 10" tall. It wouldn't be to bad, but it would be enough to piss me off more than I may wanna deal with. Plus, I am not entirely sure if I really wanna worry about doing more electrical upgrades later.

LOL! Good point. From my personal assumptions, I would think the Q's lose a little SPL but add a little more SQ. I cant even lie though, at this point, I know I want rid. loud. I would love to do hair tricks and junk. I would love to do 4 12" BTLs but that would require getting 2 RF4000's and doin all the electrical upfront....something I dont think I am quite that ready for. I just wanna be super loud and super happy..... I have a RF4000 at the moment, BUT if anyone, esp u JimJ, have any better amp suggestions then plz throw them out there. Maybe something like 2 3k watt amps or something. Or will the RF4000 be plenty. Regardless I am getting all the options on the subs.

How much "SPL" would be lost if I were to use 4 Q's instead of BL's. Since, either way, they would see 1k watts each, would they produce about the same results?
