KU40

Are you the straight edge type that kicks the chit out of people that do drink and do drugs? NO!!!!! That would be mean. I am a nice guy, I help all the drunk/fudged up people get home safe. You'll feel good about yourself for doing it for a while, then you get bogged down because it just begins to feel like babysitting. It happened to me. I've never done drugs, never been drunk (though I have a whiskey and coke every couple weeks). I don't see a reason to lose control of myself. I guess I have no worries as bigjon puts it, but I live my life in attempt to avoid any worries. Granted I'm fortunate with such a good family. But that's another reason to not screw it up and disrespect by doing dumb things.

It's just used to show them getting mentally prepared for the task at hand. That was their ritual before every boost. That's all I took from it too. No deep references there!

ah but carpet has been the reason for air leaks for me in the past. Carpet is not a sealant, it has fibers. Also try taking the subs out of the box and playing them free air.

960 watts is plenty for a Q. and get a separate amp to run the 6x8s.

I don't know about what they do on that particular processor, but you can get RCA to XLR adapters. I've gotten some at partsexpress.com.

Wants to bone his governor.

super slow in here. Ate some smoked ribs last night at my gf's parents'. good stuff maynard. Plus they sent me home with a rack of them, so I have even more for the bbq today.

is that 2.7 cubes per sub or total?

Likes cheese. maybe. I dunno. That was a guess.

It would be so awesome outside if it weren't so windy. It's like 65* but 30+ mph wind. But tomorrow should be excellent, 65 and only 10 mph winds. I'm breaking the grill out from its winter hibernation for the KU game tomorrow.

hmm, those don't say how much airspace is in them or how deep the sub can be. Maybe look at some Incriminator Audio flatlynes and a Sundown 1500D or something.

Oh shit!!! woah... yeah but his right food could have already been down and just come up already. In replays it seemed obvious that both feet were down.

Don't forget at 1% THD, too.

When is it supposed to happen? Silly man, there's no predicting volcanoes!

So you disconnected the mids, but what speakers cut out then? The tweeters? Your voltage sounds decent. I'm with rushrun. Take the Cd player out of the equation and see if it still happens. Hook up an ipod, walkman, whatever, to the RCA inputs on the amps (there are headphone jack to RCA adapters available). Then just short the power wire over to the remote on the amps to get them to turn on.

You would drive a short bus! haha

Boy that thing needs a lot of work!

I took woodshop my.....junior year I think. My teacher's name was Stanley so we got extra credit if the tape measure we bought for the class was a Stanley.

You shouldn't need anywhere near that much port area. My guess is that a single 4" round port would be plenty (that's about 12.5 square inches). But this is just the problem with porting such a small enclosure- they require long ports. Honestly, if you're going under the seats, just go sealed. I did that in my dad's F150 and it got louder than I thought it would.

You shouldn't have to worry that much. You'll have to clip that amp pretty heavily to get up to the 1500 watt rating of the BL, and at that level it should be audibly distorting pretty badly. Plus back in the day I think Profile was overrated, although Bigjon says they're underrated now. I haven't kept up with them. *but this isn't to say that setting it with a DMM isn't a good idea.

I'd say start looking at SSA's shop and see if any of the amps there strike your fancy. Then once you decide which amp you want you can figure out what impedance to get on the subs.

Turning the gain higher than it needs to be to equal the input voltage makes amps clip.

is that 2.5 cubes net or gross?

I take it that $600 includes a receiver, speakers (4 of them, right), sub, and sub amp? For the sub and sub amp, are you thinking of building your own box and just finding a sub to go into it and then adding a plate amp?

Icons are 1000W rms subs, I believe, so I would not be getting full performance out of them feeding them roughly half there rms. I was thinking something in the 500-700W rms range each. That depends entirely on the box at that point. If you build a box that's a little larger than normal for those subs, you could get full excursion even with 500 watts.
