I don't have what you are talking about.

The gain setting is not a volume knob. Amplifiers can put out full power and even clip with the gain all the way down. It depends entirely on the signal input voltage.

*Random* Sean, were you a standout athlete in high school/college?

Sell it and put the money towards something else. I'd sure bet it is fairly close to maxed out and while you could surely get a little more in a new box, you'll probably kill the driver as well. Ok. Well what are some decent H/T subs that are not pricey. Im quite low on money, thats why i figured i might just build a new box which sometimes can be a cheap but BIG difference. Well, in order to do this properly you first need to know the specs of the box that it's in now. Then knowing the T/S specs of the sub would help.

I think that's kinda cool though. It adds to the mystique of our bodies, and is good for humbling us by keeping something we don't understand. Nature just does a lot of cool things. Once we understand them all, then where do we go?

I had one where my wifey ran off without explanation, and wouldn't tell me where she moved to, and I went broke and life sucked. Really bad dreams for me recently. Are you guys eating before going to bed? I always just have really vivid dreams. I have them almost every night, and have for as long as I can remember. I like sleeping because it's kind of like a second, weird, alternative reality. Also, usually about once a month I'll get dreams that don't end like I want, so I'll consciously rewind my dream and try a different thing. This often happens when I'm trying to stop a bank robbery or something like that. I'll try stopping them one way, get shot, rewind the dream to try something else, get shot, rewind to try something else, etc. Sometimes I do this more than 6-7 times. Those are fun.

As in you violently rip arse? For me that depends on what I eat. Yes at times, but mostly punch, kick, and scream while running around the house. Asleep? Yes I never believed my wife so one night she recorded me doing this. Needless to say I no longer eat before bed. That's really weird. But one night like 8 years ago I was sleeping with my little brother in his bed and our dad came in in the middle of the night after my little brother was yelling, and found that I was laying on my back holding him up in the air. That was weird. But that's the only time I've ever done anything active in my sleep, as far as I know.

So just one coil on one of the subs is out? Does it just read 0 on the meter? If so, it's blown. It's caused by too much power.

You may need some sound deadening to fix all of the rattles that will eventually happen with that combo.

The old Phoenix Gold Bass Cubes had a subsonic on them as well, fixed @ 25 hz.

It's both. Port area and length determine the tuning frequency of a given box. As for 1 vs. 2 ports, there is no difference. But 2 ports generally takes up a fraction more room for the same tuning frequency (port area the same between the 1 and 2 port setups)

That's no good. A 110 amp alternator should be plenty to keep that amp and the air conditioner running without much of a dip at all. If both the battery and alternator are original, one or both may be on their way out. You may want to go to Autozone or somewhere and have them test the battery and alternator.

Exactly. The CVX and SSD are similar in power handling capabilities, so we were trying to figure out why the CVX blew. If the prefab box that the CVX was in was horrible and tuned very high and you put the SSD in it, there is a decent chance that the SSD would blow. However, the CVX blowing may not have even been related to the bass boost that you put on it. If the bass boost is centered high, like 50-60 hz, and the sub blew because of overexcursion from music down at like 30 hz, the bass boost wouldn't affect it. The gain is simply too high and you would need a subsonic filter. We are knowledgable here. In fact, perhaps too much, because we're trying to go beyond your questions to get to the root of the problem. In your first post you asked about putting the SSD in the same prefab box. In that post you said nothing about the bass boost or anything about the box (which would have been greatly helpful in determining if the SSD would work well in it). We can't tell you how the SSD will perform in a box that we don't know the specs of. You got annoyed that we didn't respond to your questions, but at that point the only question was if we thought the SSD would work well. But again, didn't know the box specs. Then you come out and say that you want to annoy people at a red light, which doesn't fly here. Then you had two people answer your question about D1 vs D2, and you apparently ignored them and said final answer, should I get a D1 or D2. Then you had a third guy confirm D1 and you still didn't believe him. Then you get mad because we aren't answering your questions, yet people did answer your D1 to D2 question three times, and you still hadn't provided box information on the prefab you have to let us know how the SSD would work in it. If you don't give proper information in questions, there is no way anybody can tell you the answer. You said you'd build a box with your carpentry background, which was good, but then you got back on a prefab kick. Why oh why would you buy a shitty prefab when you can build your own better one with the skills you have for equal or less money? Finally, as M5 mentioned, there is no sealed recommendation for the 15" SSD. Buy a 12" and port it for better results.

I built a HT box for a 15" v2 mag. 5.5cuft at 25Hz. Words can not describe how happy I was with it. *I'm able to compare it to an Icon, Dayton HF, and a Paradigm PW2200. I'd take the Mag every time. (Just build larger and tune lower next time ) The box is also part of my apprehension about even trying it. It was built for my car, so it's 3.8 cubes @ 30 hz. Not sure it would do justice in the HT.

Had a dream last night that I cheated on my gf with an old friend. She found out and was crushed and we broke up. I woke up feeling like shit.

Old topic, but apparently I missed this first time around. Well they definitely didn't do themselves any favors with that color. Why try to tone down such a beast with that wuss color? Doesn't make sense. They softened some of the lines from the previous years, which kinda sucks. I like the more rugged look that they had. As for 30k, I dunno, that seems ok to me. At least riding in my friend's '08 GT makes me think it's ok. But I haven't ridden in many 30k+ cars. The camaro coupes are sweet, but I think that the convertibles look stupid with the top down because the door gets shorter towards the back then raises over a higher wheel well. Reminiscent of some of the '70s cars, I know, but I don't like their look either.

There's no limit on how big a wire could/should be. It doesn't hurt anything. 12 gauge speaker wire works fine.

It doesn't work that way. There are enclosures that have massive ports and relatively small enclosure for the sub (like a horn), but they are definitely not smaller than a regular ported box. Besides, if you build a small box and want a large port, the port will eat up a ton more room than you think. The smaller the box, the longer the port has to be with the same port area and tuning frequency, thus taking up more space. So that's a backwards solution. Just go figure out what size box can fit in your trunk, or what you want to give up room for, and we'll go from there. Don't try to cut corners, it will turn out disappointing in the end.

Just got done fishing for a few hours in a lake that just opened a couple months ago after being closed for about 4 years. My friend and I caught a bunch of tiny bass and perch, probably 30 between us. None of the bass were over about 7" and 1/4 lb. We were like really, is this all that's in here? Where are your parents?

Dang, wish I would have known this a year ago. My once-metallic red decal is turning into a sort of reddish-purple. Yuck.

Kinda want to hear what my SI Mag v.2 would sound like in my HT, but I don't have the motivation to drag the box downstairs and unhook the plate amp from inside my current HT sub box.

Man, you need to be nicer to your equipment!

I know it says "Epsilon" on it, but down at the bottom under product summary it says- Manufacturer- PA. That's what I was going off of. If you want it, go for it. I guess it is only 35 bucks.

If something was detached, you damaged the sub from overexcursion, likely because the tune on that prefab box is too high and a subsonic filter was not used or set properly. Have fun doing the same thing to your SSD if you put it in that box. Also, boosting the bass boost because your voltage is dropping is about the worst solution I've ever heard of. That's like dumping gasoline on a fire to try and put it out.

Wow, if you're impressed with the output of a JL 10W0, wait until you get a pair of any of these subs in there.
