Port area : do I have enough for my Icon 15?
KU40 replied to Notorious97200's topic in SPL & SQ / Fabrication
You may increase output, but it wouldn't be noticeable, and that's only if the port is stifling the sub, which you may have enough to avoid that. About the only real problem with that amount of port area is if you have port noise (chuffing). If you have port noise at higher volume, you can either add another or use the 8" port as you said. If you add another 5.6" port, they would each need to be about 40" long, but it would cut your enclosure volume down to about 3.1 cubes. If you went with the 8" port, it would need to be about the same length and you'd see the same drop in enclosure volume. Two 5.6" ports have 49 sq. inches, one 8" port has 50 sq. inches of area. That's a bit long, I know. That's for a 30 hz tune. You could raise the tune to 32 hz and each port would need to be 35 sq. inches and your box would be about 3.2 cubes. Not much difference there. But if you don't have port noise now, you're probably fine and don't need to change. -
But all of that is irrelevant, because the amp is likely not overrated, especially by 500-700 watts. US Amps is not your Mobile Authority/Power Acoustik/Pyramid type stuff.

That's a good point. Friends with boots or little kids with happy feet will surely kick those things.

You can download winISD alpha version to help you view bandpass boxes, how they'll model, and what size and tune of chambers may be best for you. I think the 6th order bandpass is what you'd look for for more SPL. But I have to question why you'd put W6s in a fart box? They were JL's sound quality drivers. You're kinda doing them a disservice for not using the SQ they were born with.

starting battery upgrade and want opinions
KU40 replied to jcarter1885's topic in Amplifiers / Head Units / Processors / Electrical
A few years ago when I was looking into this, everything said red tops were designed to be primary/starting batteries, and yellow tops were secondary/add-ons. -
Oh, I didn't realize those cars were RWD. You have a lot more room in there than if it was FWD like I thought!

Kenwood 1000W class D

That amp is only a 500 watt RMS amp. You're looking at the max rating. It's a decent amp, though. I have a 4 channel in the same model line and it's just fine. -
Just ignore. You would be wasting your time and become frustrated when he's too stubborn.
-
great place to start Indeed. But if you can't even push down on the cone, there's a 99% chance it's blown. It seems your cousin wasn't totally straightforward with you.
-
No, that is definitely not too much. You would probably need four times that amount before I'd begin worrying about too much. You'll only unload the subs if you play below tuning.
-
I like 30 hz. You can always shorten the port to raise the tune after it's built if you don't like it.
-
I think it's pretty safe that that amp does rated power. Why are you so concerned anyways? From your other thread, you're putting this 1500 watt amp on a 1000 watt RMS sub, so even if it's overrated by 1/3, you're still giving the sub maximum power.

There was a girl in high school that was pretty attractive and I thought about asking out numerous times, but she was a friend of an ex-gf, so I didn't know how well that would work out. Plus other differences, like religion. She was firm in no sexual acts before marriage. However, she openly said (after some alcohol) that she was going to become a whore for her husband after they got married. She knew she was going to love it, she just was strong in putting it off.

-Five yellow tops with 3/0 power and ground -Two alternators one stock running car (one soon to be two cs 144 350 amp with Quicktifier Remote Rectifier System adjustable regulator set at 15.5v with one run of 1/0 running stereo) That's a serious setup. Where did you find 350 amp alts? Ambulances? I'm also surprised there was enough room under the hood. Pics? But I'd also go with 4 subs, as Jacob mentioned. 3000 is twice the RMS of the Nightshade (If I understand correctly that that's what you're going with), and even if it could handle that much, there is diminishing returns with trying to squeeze every last watt into one sub. Less power compression with four.

Haha. Yeah I tried to tell her that some women use it to get rid of wrinkles. She didn't believe me. Guess I need to show her the link to that site about synthesized semen those spas are putting on women.

Wish my gf would allow that. Sounds kinky. Man I miss my high school best friend. we'd talk about sex all the time. I guess when you grow up you're supposed to mature out of that. But that was also high school, the time of naivety. Don't take this as an insult, but rather constructive criticism. . . . Your woman will do anything you want, you just have to throw ideas out there and be cunning in your persuasion. Each woman is different, but if you know HOW to talk to them, you are in no matter what. I've always used persuasion to get a woman to do whatever I want. Be prepared to give when you receive though. Well I'm not a very good salesman. I tried it a bit earlier, and she said "yeah, there will definitely be none of that." But maybe if I catch her after a few glasses of wine...... I have no problem with retribution, but she's not overly wild. She doesn't have new ideas often, and they're usually just different places to do it.

But that was also high school, the time of naivety. Saying it like that i REALLY hope ur friend was female Ha it took me about 4 times of rereading that to see what you were talking about. But no, a guy. I didn't mean talk about doing things with each other. Things with our gfs at the time.

Tonight is my bachgelors party!!!! I hope I do meet Destiny and Diamond tonight. Have some fun Personally I'd start the night at the Deuce-Deuce as it is a cheap place to get things going. Not classy at all, but fun. It's our 5th Anniversary today, I suppose I better do something. Any ideas that can be done without leaving the house? I've been dating Ashley for 6months as of this weekend... Just so happens teh roommates are out of the house for the weekend Our gfs have the same name, that is neat We even live in the same state, not that far away from each other... Scary. I wonder if it's the same chick my g/f's name is also Ashley how ironic. 3 hoppitears with g/f with the same name whodathunkit It's like the Twilight Zone in here.

And "What db's are you hitting" isn't a newbie question? How does what somebody else meters help you?
-
Well I edited it for you. They should be able to get your info from the invoice number, plus it looks like they've already started looking into it.

You can keep 6,000+ watts worth of amps above 13 volts, I gotta know what electrical system you have.

Women are attention whores and want all of your attention on them.
