    Welcome to the IHoP

    Cleaned the bathroom this morning. If any of those people using it today messes it up I'm going to be pissed. And somebody is in there right now taking a shower and I need to get in there to get ready to leave. Going to grill some sirloin steaks at a friends house while KU plays Tennessee in a bit. Big test for them.

    damn the washer is being super noise and knocking around. I'm probably pissing off the other 5 people that are sleeping in the house. oops. Well, payback for when they woke me up when they came home at 1-2am the last few nights.

    My dad and stepmom are staying here tomorrow night, in my bed. Better change out the satin sheets to something more traditional

    Welcome to the IHoP

    I was gonna do the na na na na part, but then I was like nah. That's the awkward part to type. And if there's one thing I hate, it's being awkward.

    Pretty sure the gf and I are going to have one of these sessions once we finally get some time (alone). It's been a while.

    Welcome to the IHoP

    Made a fire tonight, it was cozy. I love wood fires. They're more work than gas, but I like them much better. Had a couple HUGE pops from some pine wood my roommate brought from home, they sounded like little grenades going off in the fireplace. Scared me half to death. A couple small embers got through the chain mail and over the tiles and landed on the carpet, of course causing burns. Oh well, it's a rental place and the carpet totally sucks anyways. But if it were my house I'd probably be pissed. Then again, I would have more than a 1' section of tile out from the fireplace if it were my house.
  9. If you can find an MMATS D50HC it'll do it.

    fi Q 18 parameters

    well winISD just tries to get you the flattest response when you first open the sub in it. That doesn't mean it will sound the best, though. You can change the box size and tuning in winISD to what FI recommends, and you can use it for things like port size and length.

    So again, what about the specs makes you disappointed? Maybe you should listen to them before making a judgment?
  12. is there maybe something being left on when you turn the car off that drained the battery?
  13. If you need to do that it is a classic sign that your system isn't setup right and the gain on the sub channel should be lower. Well, if anybody is like me (yeah, scary thought huh?) there are days when you want to rock out and days when you don't. Plus you have some musicians who boost or cut the bass when they record. Yes there is something to be said about playing it how the artist recorded and intended it, but some rappers boost the bass so much that you can't hear the words even at the same settings as other music that sounds fine.

    Need advice on OEM Subwoofer hookup

    No he has normal wire, not an RCA from his receiver and an RCA input on his subwoofer. I believe he was suggesting to use an LOC.
  16. changes the sound wave's timing. If you look at two sine waves on an o-scope and they are 180 degrees out of phase, they will cross the reference line at the same point, but one will be going up after that point and the other will be going down. The peak of one sine wave will correspond to the valley of the other sine wave. Waves that are 0 degrees out of phase will lie on top of each other. Then if you move up from 0 degrees, one sine wave will start drifting sideways from the other. They will cross the x-axis a little farther apart with each increase in phase shift. Then you hit 180 and they're total opposites. Then as you go higher, up to 360, they start moving back together again. Tried to explain that as simply as possible, hope the visual still got through.

    what about the specs makes you disappointed? What amp are you going to use on them?
  18. it's nice to be able to control the sub's output from the driver's seat. For that reason, most people set the gain with the head unit sub output maxed out, as helotaxi said. Then you can turn the sub down in relation to your interior speakers if you don't want it so loud sometimes.

    another fi amp question

    because i already have the sub and i have no idea what that means. ah so really your "buddy" was you. Anyways, the other part of my statement still applies. if you already have the 1206, there's no reason to change it.

    Welcome to the IHoP

    wow, I'm showered and fed and it's only 7:45. It's usually like 9:30-10 by the time I get all this done. I'm not sure what to do with myself now.......

    another fi amp question

    Well, the hifonics will still put out power at 2 ohms. Just because the amp is stable down to 1 ohm doesn't mean you have to use it. I mean I generally agree that yeah, may as well match the amp and sub. But my point is that if he already has the D1 sub and hifonics amp, there's no need to waste money to change it when there will not be a noticeable difference. Plus 900 watts (or however much the hifonics 1206 actually puts out at 2 ohms) is just fine for an SSD.
  22. KU40

    another fi amp question

    If you have a D1 sub and I assume have the coils wired in series for 2 ohms, there is absolutely no reason to "upgrade" to the 1608d. You get 200 extra watts of power. you will NEVER be able to tell the difference. That's less than 1 db difference at that level. Save your money. Why not get a D2 so that you can wire it in parallel and get 1200 watts from the 1208d?

    so the Fiance bought a car...

    Somebody can't park for shit.

    fi Q 18 parameters

    The z is just the nominal impedence of the sub. so if you have a 4 ohm SVC sub, it's 4. if you have a 4 ohm DVC sub with the coils wired in series for the measurements, it's 8. The Pe is just the peak power, I believe. Just put it at 1000 or something. Maybe somebody else has the le.

    Which will be louder

    The 3.7 cube one will have higher efficiency, so it'll get as loud on less power, but then it'll also run into mechanical limits with less power also. It will also improve the lowend a little, which is where the perceived loudness is. For overall loudness I think it depends on how much power you have and if you can reach mechanical limits in either box.
