    kicker zx750.1 and BL

    Yep, will be loud enough. Even an extra 500 watts will only give you another 1 db or a tad more. And you definitely need the BL.

    They are just shoes, seriously. That attitude is unacceptable, immaturity at it's best. That's Chris Rock, yo.

    Set on what i want.

    One compartment is much easier and it saves you a little room with port displacement.

    From 15s to 12s

    You can do the cone area theory that says twice the cone area on the same power will yield a 3 db increase. On the site it says the 15" has 810 cm^2 and the 12 has 480 cm^2. That's about 60% of the cone area you had before, so 40% loss x 3 db = about 1.2 db lower. But that's purely theoretical and the way the different size subs interact with the box their in (where the peak is, impedance, etc.) can/will affect that as much as the cone area decrease.

    setup?

    It will sound like boom boom boom

    why is it that no hair cut place can cut my hair correctly? I've been to 3 different shops in the last 6 months and each time when I get home my gf says "here let me get the scissors, they left some long hairs here and here and here....." This is why I've stopped tipping until I find somebody who doesn't make me go through that and I repeat with them.

    Ttocs, I feel like I know that name. Have you been on any car audio forums previously? My memory points to one on ezboard perhaps?

    New system sounds like crap. help

    If you swapped amps and it was fine, the problem is likely your amp.

    sub placement question.

    No, it doesn't matter.

    will this box work?

    my winISD says that you need a port 56" long. That will yield you a 4.8 cubic foot net box after the 3.56 cubes that the port displaces and .25 cubes for the two subs. Your box is 8.6 cubes gross. hmm, the RE calculator is quite a bit off from my calculations. I'll have to check. The differences lie in that the RE calculator doesn't take two things into account, one being sub displacement, and the other being the thickness of the wood used as the port wall. It assumes zero for sub displacement and that the port wall is also zero. However, sub displacement, as I figured, was .25 cubes, and the port wall also displaces about .25 cube using 3/4" wood.

    What was the bet? Men's NCAA tournament bracket challenge.

    I got all six Star Wars after winning a bet with my brother, and the gf and I watched Episodes 1 through 3 between Friday and yesterday. Now time for the better episodes, though we lose Natalie Portman.

    Welcome to the IHoP

    I haven't made it to the driving rage yet. After the last time I played(Oct 6), I don't have any real ambition to play. I was duck hooking the ball and for someone that normally slices it, it was flustering. I seemed to fix my problem yesterday! I realized that I was tucking my right elbow into or even inside of my hip on my swing. So I made the conscious effort to try and keep it out, and it worked wonders. Also trying to make my right arm do more work pushing the club because I tend to just pull the club through with my left arm, which not only kills distance but oftentimes opens the club face due to the dragging and causes a slice. But I found that this fix not only helped the straightness, but I also picked the ball up off of the ground a lot better. I've always had problems with just skimming the ball along the ground, but I got it into the air basically every time. So point is, I think a lot of problems like these are a product of uneven force by both arms. That or rolling the wrists over too much (draw) or not at all (slice). It is actually since you are supposed to fish and not golf Haha. Yeah, my cast is better than my swing I'm sure.

    Welcome to the IHoP

    I was out enjoying the wonderful weather today! Got the mower blade sharpened, the mower cleaned up, and the oil changed. I pressure washed the porch and hung out with Dad for the rest of the day. I'm poooooped. The weather here was amazing yesterday. 68 degrees, partly cloudy, no wind. So incredible. Too bad I didn't take advantage of it. We went to the casino instead last night. After 2.5 hours of playing slots and then roulette, I was up 10 bucks. But apparently I wasn't happy enough and wanted to continue to play roulette. My +10 turned into -70 before I finally lost all of my credits on roulette and quit.

    I just look at the top of the ball.

    what are the lowpass and subsonic crossover settings at? If you have a head unit with highpass crossovers for the front and rear speakers and use either of those preouts for the sub, it'll transfer that highpassed signal to the amp, thus cutting the signal for the subs.
  20. KU40

    how to tell if your subs are going?

    your amp may be going the way of broken. What is it?

    He may have chosen the wrong subwoofer if that is his goal.

    Though I do have a spring-loaded plastic pellet shooter and this f'ing cat is about two talk backs or disobeys away from meeting the business end.
