sounds almost as good as Mr. Turbo Spool at 12 MPH Guy from the Nasioc Periodic review video.... lol but serious...how did you flip a car trying to hit an animal? was it in the ditch?!? but glad you're alright...that'd be pucking crazy

nope no way it's going to happen...the coil just moves way too much in the gap right now to try and glue it...i think my only option is to get a dustcap

i have a brahma mark II and i want a re-cone...possibly an 18 can it be done? i tied posting before and got no reply so i am trying again... it's not a for sure thing i want an 18, just wondering can it be done and still retain good sound quality and bottom end while still being able to get loud?

Imprint does sound pretty cool.. I just didn't want to have to up front throw down another 500 bucks to use the active xover feature. Thanks for the personal experience though, it's helpfull to have that. I don't know of any shop in MN that would help me out with that imprint feature, and I refuse to pay what the local shops ask for in alpine prices. I live in MN and there are no good deals going on here anywhere. I can find the 9887 for over 300 bucks less online and no tax or shipping, no one would even negotiate on that specific unit. If there was a local trust worthy small shop I would check it out I try to suport local tallent, but all we have are big box stores with jack asses working there. The only nice guy I met had his hands tied wish a 25 dollar rebate intill christmass season. Thanks for all the help guys, if anyone knows of another HU that out of the box is set up to run active Xovers let me know. I liked the look of the alpine and it seams to get good reviews but the menue system really sucked when I tried it.. but I supose I woudl get used to it. i'm am from MN...where in MN are you...if you are looking for a shop...Audio Designs in winona carries the 9887 and i think they have it listed at 400...plus the 9887 also has a graphic or parametric eq, ipod interface, good processing the active x-over, and who knows what else...it's a hell of a deal for a HU either way...PM me and i could talk to someone at the shop...i have a few friends over there WHAAAAT swetness. I'm in MPLS PMing you my man. sounds good...mpls isn't too far from winona...maybe 2 or 2.5 hours...depends how you drive

eclipse has some i am sure...i know those alpine 9887 have the Imprint feature...which is a technology that will basically equlize your outputs to make a flat in vehicle response....alpine dealers should have the imprint unit to set this up....basically they will set up a mic in the drivers listening position, and this measures the response of the vehicle, then the computer inversely(not sure how else to say it) eqalizes the signal vs. the vehicles response making a near flat response... and it also does time corection.... then you cna fine tune it from there also my shop did it and from what i am told...actually sounds very good...i was considering picking one of these up, up until i realized i am about 1220 in debt! but you could definetely run a full active front stage and make it sound really good, with or without using imprint...just a lot of tweaking

i'm with the rest of the people here...take out those JBLs and give them back! then crank that BL like it's meant to be!

well i saw another brahma re-cone thread... bump

Fi should be able to help you out there, i know they have done re-cones on brahmas before and IIRC the 4 spoke basket is the MKI

http://www.soundsolutionsaudio.com/forum/i...c=11908&hl= had to do it

OVERKILL! i would be deafened by highs...i just had to post when i saw this that is the kind of stuff they need in SPL vehicles... lol

i think that this question will mostly be aimed at Scott....i recently purchased a "damaged" brahma mark II 12"(i think, no idea which is which but i am tol the mark II) that wasn't damaged at all really...just had to fix a bad glue joint and it works perfect now... 30 bucks and a 2 dollar tube of adhesive isn't too bad, but for my real question i bought it with the intentions of re-coning it to an 18" Fi Brahma Hybrid of some sort.... i was wondering if it could be done...or has it been done? i was thinking a dual 2 ohm coil with at least 1100 watts power handling... i still want to retain good sound quality also...not sure if i would want to do it ported or sealed though... just looking for ideas and a price possibility and another side question.....the brahma that i have had a re-cone done on it right before adire closed its doors....probably one of the last re-cones, but with the re-cone would the speaker keep the same t/s parameters or would they change because of different soft parts coils etc...?

i've been waiting! i got excited when i saw this was under new posts expecting to get a response...not yet though...i honestly love my mark II...sounds great even with little power...

if i were you i'd just get a copy of BB6P...and design it yourself...if the guy knows what he is doing the inductance isn't really a deciding factor when designing a subwoofer enclosure....your lowpass filter will almost 99.9% of the time roll off before the inductance rolls off..that is assuming that you don't have your lowpass set at 500hz if you are designing an enclosure for a midbass in a whole speaker system, then you will want it but for what you are doing it's almost useless

anyone know where to get some plain looking heatsinks? i am building a stereo amplifier using a set of LM3886 ICs...i just need a heatsink to encase the amplifiers and the power supply any ideas?

sorry, i had to do it it's alright i'd take the audi too i'm pretty sure i'd take the STI overall though

yeah if you like the sound of being deaf

either way....subaru+impreza=one of the coolest pucking cars on earth! i just want a rally car, i'd even go classic and take one of the Ford Coswoth Escorts!

i'd say turn the bass boost off......

saw that....and i saw asian invasion too! a little dead there though...it just needs a few more people to get some topics going

well i just got one force too...hopefully we get most of our people back there still waiting to see flak monkey, and the azian invasion, and 95 honda around

i love the magnepans...i was actually looking at some today...not looking to buy just looking at them...too broke to buy anything now lol

sweet thanks...i'll take a look

I have a set of Dahlquist DQ-10 Speakers with a Kenwood KR6050 Receiver....looking to upgrade my power a bit...a larger amplifier and a pre amp...i also have a Stanton Direct Drive Turntable here's a picture (that's a 27 inch TV next to them...kind of gives an idea of their size) The Dahlquists without the grilles
