    WHHHYYYYYYYY

    I'm running A/B on my subs, but only because my big class D broke. It'll work forever for me now, I have no plans to buy another D.

    12" Q Enclosure Question

    I think the ported box would give you better lows than the sealed box for most music you'll listen to.

    Wire Terminals

    I do the wire straight through with caulk method. I don't like those little black plastic round or square terminals very much, they usually use those cheap spade connectors on the inside, and can leak air around/through them.

    Welcome to the IHoP

    Woah woah woah, slow down there. Yeah I know, right? haha. But in my defense, I'm pretty sure at least 1800 of them have come in the last 6 months when I began really posting here after SIN/CSO went down. Plus I've never whored in the HOP like most of these fools

    aero port ?

    I think you would want at least two 4" aeros.

    enough port?

    four 4" ports would be the minimum I would recommend. You may be able to get away with it. Two 6" ports would be a little better. But I'd say five 4" ports would be better, and three 6" ports even better if you can fit it.

    In Pursuit Of A Soundstage

    I've found that having speakers in the rear deck can help raise the soundstage, even up front. But as for your solution, perhaps try going 3-way and putting a mid up-firing in the dash?

    Welcome to the IHoP

    Nice. Have you been doing short sales? not a single one, they seem riskier than regular trades to me Indeed, as you would be betting that the stock would go down. But for the last year it seems that's about the only way to come out ahead. I'm just surprised you're up that much, there surely aren't that many stocks ahead over the last year, let alone 65! So well done.
  9. What do you mean cannot control the sub setting with an LOC? The gain on the amp still works when using that signal. But bass boost is ok to use if you have a dip in frequency response that you want to even out with the rest of the frequency response. Unfortunately, as John said, the frequency the amp presets the boost for is around 45 hz, which basically no sub box should ever create a dip in response at 45 hz.
  10. the input setting is your gain. Match it to the RCA voltage coming from the head unit. Bass boost will just boost a small frequency range, so it will give a hump in frequency response. That doesn't sound good.

    This freeze-dried chocolate ice cream w. chocolate chips is weird. It's so light that you bite it and kinda forget it's in your mouth.

    box movin around

    You could strap it to the metal rings that are on the floor back there (at least I have a couple poking through my carpet, one on each side near the wheel wells). Or you could make a couple L-brackets and attach one side to the box. Then get a long piece of wood and stick it underneath the carpet, spanning under the L brackets. Then bolt the L bracket to the wood under the carpet.

    Speakers cutting out

    What speakers do you have hooked up and how are they wired? If you turn the gain up, does it cut out with a lower volume setting where the loudness is the same, or still at 44 even though they are playing louder?

    BL Comparison

    Have you seen pictures of them though? If nothing else to make sure that it's actually a BL.

    Anyone near St.Paul, MN?

    Yeah I know. I had to wait for you to leave so that I knew it would be safe to go to sleep in the state.

    Welcome to the IHoP

    Was up in Minnesota this weekend, and thankfully it warmed up from what it had been all last week. I took a spin in an F-18 simulator in the Mall of America, and it was awesome. My call sign was "Gunfighter," my bro's was "Hollywood," and my gf's was "Viper." I killed them both once, and my brother got me once. Real fun stuff. And we went rock climbing at Dick's sporting goods. They have a two-story wall (maybe 30 feet tall?). I chose the second easiest out of the four paths because I had never been before. It's wild. At first I was scared out of my mind leaving the ground, and I felt like I had to hold on for dear life. But that made me use my arms more than my legs, and it was more or less a pull-up exercise up the wall. Oops. Of course I had heard a million times to use my legs, and I tried, but it was weird. Not easy for me. So I went to my comfort zone, which was using my arms. But about 90% of the way up I learned that I really was safe when I had to relax a bit to take a break because my forearms were burning. But at least I didn't totally let go of the wall and just float there a bit to relax like my brother and his wife would. I at least tried to hold on and support myself as best I could. But I did make it all the way up eventually, so that was rewarding.

    BL Comparison

    Pictures of them? Maybe the one dude is getting a boot cover confused with it being a single magnet.

    PLEASE HELP! URGENT!

    If it won't move and it's not stuck out of the gap (as it would if the coil jumped the gap from overexcursion, the cone would look stuck out), you fried the voice coil with too much power, and as Godsmack said, it welded itself to the motor. Time to call FI for a recone and time to turn the gain down a bit on the amp.

    need some advice on encloser`

    is that 7.49 cubic feet after port and sub displacements or before? If it's after, your tune is 30 hz. If it's before any displacements, your tune is about 31.5 hz. If you want to tune to 28 hz, the port should be 20" if the 7.49 is after displacements, or about 23" if it's before displacements.

    Someone to Dbl chk my port lenght

    my winISD alpha says it's a 32.5 hz tune. shorten to 10.75" to get a 35 hz tune.
