KU40

I typed a big post a while ago but when I hit add reply it said timed out or something . But basically it said that besides the one roommate I knew I was getting, my roommates gf, she brough another roommate- a cat. It's a really nice cat but hella undisciplined and pain in the butt. If I only push my door closed without it latching, she'll push it open and run under my bed. My bed is in a corner so when she gets way back there, there's no way for me to get her out. I'm afraid she'll leave me a surprise under there and it'll be hell.

yeah oops I meant check the rating of the capacitor, not resistor.

I don't have sigs turned on so I'm glad some of you other mods do!

Sorry to hear about that Peng, glad you're getting better. Damn stupid other drivers.

Find the rating of the resistor that is the bass blocker. When you get that you can look up online what frequency it cuts off at, if you also know the impedance of the tweeter. soft- silk hard- metal, like aluminum or titanium. They generally have quite different sound, softs are more laid back while hards are more accurate but can also be more bright or have that "ringing" sound. I personally prefer softs. But nobody can tell you what you'll like, so I'd suggest going to a shop and listening to different component sets with the different types.

the remote wire should be reading 12 volts. So if it's at only 3, something's wrong. But since you said even when you jumped the power wire to the remote it didn't turn on, that's not the cause. You said that it sparked when you plugged the power wire into the amp. Did you touch the power wire to the terminal or to the heat sink when it sparked? If you touched it to the heat sink the amp is toast. That's why you always have to remove the under-hood fuse before putting the power wire into the amp.

Why did you need to assume a driver xmax? That doesn't play into configuring a port. As for subs......interesting, they have like the exact same sd. ha. Well.....I'd choose 15s because most of them can play lower than their same-model 10s. But I don't know how you'd wire 9 subs for 1 ohm? I suppose you could do 4 ohm DVCs and wire each in series then all the subs in parallel for a .88 ohm load. May be close enough to 1. That's the only way you'd be able to have them all receive the same power.

Find a welding supply store for cheaper 1/0

you can get some welding wire from welding supply places. It's normally a fair bit cheaper than car audio 1/0.

Dual 2 ohm coils should read like 1.6-1.7 ohms per coil when you hook them up to the DMM. So if you check them with the coils wired in parallel already, it should be about .7. But every sub that's dual 2 ohm and wired in parallel is 1 ohm at the amp.

.7 is the DCR of the sub. The amp doesn't care about that. It only cares about the nominal load, which is 1 ohm. I assume you have a 2 ohm DVC BTL? What amp is it?

How tired is a dog's ass?

I wouldn't put 1600 watts on a Q. Even with BP power. 1000 should be plenty. Besides, the difference between 1300 and 1600 is negligible, less than 1 db.

Bah, not an I6 car. There's a car in that picture????

port and box look huge for two 10s

It'll be ok. Manufacturer recommendations are just that, recommendations. They aren't concrete walls that you can't go past. It's just where they think the sub sounds the best and can handle the power they rate it for.

Just use good stuff that's void-free. I used baltic birch plywood on my last box and it's awesome. So light.

I was thinking the same thing. There was that show on Discovery channel and it certainly sounded way higher. Like 3k hz. Which would make sense because that's around where humans are most sensitive to the sound, so it would hurt more.

Why, you want to go pay him a surprise love visit?

Please try and refrain from naming pictures with foul language in the future.

Watched two episodes of "Vegas Confessions" tonight. Basically a hot lady asks people about their craziest stories while in Vegas. and....wow. There are some wild people out there.

oh you don't have to raise it. I don't like raised trucks either. Just bigger tires is all, to fill the wheel wells more. Raising just creates a bigger gap in there. But I also don't like too small of a gap, or negative gap, i.e.- dropping. But just my opinion.

I put this rub on some chicken tonight and it was absolutely disgusting. The rub was some special mix sold in stores just for chicken, and it has about had me throwing up all night. I've felt nauseous since having ONE bite of the chicken about 4 hours ago. I've tried chocolate, ice cream, lots of water, pasta, and brushing my teeth to help get rid of it, and it's barely any better. Making me sick to my stomach. I don't know what was in there, it didn't list ingredients. It's to the point where I actually wouldn't mind throwing up because that might get the taste out of my mouth. yes, I'd rather have vomit taste than that rub.

i'm surprised they don't have 10 pullups on that list. That would be a good addition. I'm up to 14 now. Huge step up from when we had to do them in gym in middle school, I think I did 2. haha. I was so weak back then. In PE in grade school we had to do a test of holding yourself in a chin-up position above the bar for 5 seconds. I had to come in during recess to retry because I couldn't do it during class. I think I was the only one. I've pretty much vouched since then to not be so weak and at least be able to handle myself.

Larger boxes have greater efficiency than smaller boxes, whether it be ported or sealed. So 6.7 cubes will be louder than 5.7 cubes with the same power (provided mechanical limits aren't reached). However, the tradeoff is lower power handling by larger boxes because they can't control the cone as well. So while the 5.7 cube box may be able to handle 1000 watts, the 6.7 cube box may only be able to handle 900. Then there's the issue in difference in sound, both tonally and in response. Larger enclosures have a more flat response curve. Sealed boxes can generally play lower than ported because subs unload below tuning in a ported box. However, also generally, ported boxes are louder in the 30-50 hz range. But the sealed boxes are louder below 20-25 hz. So for most people and their music, ported will belt out the lows better, because the lows in most music isn't any lower than 30 hz.
