that one in purple looks like she's one bump away from having her boobs fall out.

I wouldn't aim the ports into the corners unless you have a decent amount of room between the port opening and the sides of the vehicle. Probably at least 6". It's also generally better to have the subs and port on the same face, or if not no more than 90 degrees away. Most installs I've seen in trucks have both the ports and subs facing up and most of the rest have them both forward.

I'm being a bum. My roommate invited me to KC with him and his friends but after that long trip I just took I just want some relax time without traveling or having 20 people immediately around me.

morning. day off tomorrow yayyyy

Yeah I didn't figure it could be anything too fancy. That area of town sure didn't look whippy at all and there was trash strewn all around and graffiti on every wall. I was on the lookout for stray bullets.

Why is this a new thread in the newbie sign-in? What thread are you referencing? This post should go in there.

most alternators put out that much. The voltage that you see on the dashboard or from measuring at the battery terminals is an average of the alternator's voltage and the battery's voltage. Now if his vehicle's voltmeter is measuring that much, something may be amiss.

Just play with the phase until it blends the best with your mids. I'd put the subsonic around 20. low pass filter setting depends on how well your sub can play the higher bass frequencies and how low your mids can go. Generally I like to keep it somewhere between 60 and 80.

Here are the big apartments in the Bronx I was talking about. There were at least 3-4 more of these "pods" of buildings continuously down this road. Here are all 12 lanes of the New Jersey turnpike filled with cars. It became stop-and-go for 20 miles when the 12 lanes went down to 6. Brilliant planners! And here is a view off Mount Spruce in Vermont. I wasn't very far up the mountain, had to stay below the fog to get a picture! It was only about a 3,500 foot peak though.

I want to win the lottery so I don't have to go to work. My week off spoiled me.

looks nice. But does that crossover do 4 ohms for the mid output? Otherwise your crossover for the mids is either at 1.5khz or 6khz (I forgot if halving the impedence halves the crossover or doubles it). Your tweeter crossover point is also not going to be 3khz. I hope it sounds ok in the midrange.

there are distinct advantages to the density however You talking about girls? I suppose that could be one, and probably the only one I could see. But also more douchy dudes to deal with.

Were baffles to extend the driver out of the door not possible?

yeah, that may be a silly thing to do.

I'm not sure what head unit he has, but my Alpine only has positive numbers. It goes from 0 to +15. But yeah probably don't want to sent it into protect too many times. Do you know how much voltage is actually getting to the amp? if you only have one of those 600 watt amps, 4 gauge is fine. But you need to find out why it's going into protect. Since you have a DMM, measure the voltage getting to the amp when it's playing at full bore. If you're below 11 or so at the amp, it could be low voltage sending it into protect, and that does wear it out over time. I am starting to think that low voltage is what has caused two of my amps to blow over the last couple of years..... One of my sub amps started losing apparent output before it went, like yours is doing. I don't want to send you into a worry about it, though. You may also maybe just be getting used to the level of bass?

18 hours to Delaware, 12 more to Vermont. It was supposed to only be like 7-8 hours up there, but we kept hitting stop-and-go traffic every 2 miles. It was absurd. Of course the minivan was loaded to the gills, and at that long of a trip people tend to get a little cranky. Not me, though. I'm a very good traveler. Found out that I don't really like my gf's brother. He played video games 98% of the time and is not tactful or courteous and oftentimes lazy. and kinda just annoying in the way he speaks (tones and word choices). However, one great thing did come out of the trip, and that's that I want to do everything I can to spend the rest of my life with my girlfriend. We haven't spent that much time together before even though we've been dating almost 3 years, and she really hit me in the blood pumper with how she treated me. Her family didn't always get along great on the trip, and she was in on some of it with them. But she was very gracious towards me. We woke up every morning and just lounged in bed for a while, and it was perfect. I missed it this morning. But there will definitely be some strains on us coming up. She graduates in May and is moving back home for the summer (45 minutes away) before having a 4 month internship 3+ hours away. So it will basically be seeing her probably once or twice a month for those 7-8 months. Then after that she may accept a job anywhere in the US, and I'll have to find out if I can follow her. So it seems perfect right now, but definitely won't be a year from now. Well anyways, sorry for the sappy stuff. Got to snowboard two days, though only one was any fun. The night before the first day it snowed 2-3 inches so there was a great powder on the slopes. Then the next day it got warm and rained, then froze that night. The next day on the slopes was a biiiiiiitch. total ice, with ice balls as large as a softball scattered all over the place. Even running over them with my board wouldn't break them. Yeah, we left the slope after an hour because it just sucked. But what sucked even worse was the $90 lift ticket per day! holy crap! Last time I went, granted it was in Colorado, it was only like 40-50 per day!

Got back yesterday from my week+ vacation with the gf and her family. We first went to Delaware, then up north to Vermont for a few days. And I have to say, for those of you who live on the northeast coast, how the hell do you do it? I absolutely hated that place. waaaaaaaay too many people. You can drive from southern Delaware through New Jersey and eastern New York and halfway into Connecticut and NEVER LEAVE A CITY. I felt so claustrophobic. Everywhere I looked there were cars and houses and people. I was like give me an open grassland FOR THE LOVE OF GOD! On the way home we wanted to get near enough to New York to see the skyscrapers (I had never been there), and this too us into the Bronx for the shortest way in and out. wow. there were literally like fifty 20-25 story apartment buildings, wide ones, all next to each other. I mean it looked like there had to be 100,000 people in the space of 10 city blocks. How in the hell can you live like that? Made me appreciate the midwest all that much more.

What's up bitches? Well, only some of you. What did I miss?

I've always wondered why everybody measures T/S with the coils in series? Granted these are relatively low powered subs so chances of a consumer wiring two in series/parallel to bridge to a 2 channel amp are greater, but it seems most consumers these days just wire everything in parallel since amps are getting cheaper and stable at lower impedences?

it modifies the signal. You can get an EQ, which allows you to adjust the levels of certain frequencies up and down. You can get a crossover, which sends only ideal frequencies to the individual speaker in the system. How much greatly depends on what you're looking for, what options, and what brand. It can be from 20 to 2000 or more, just like amps or subs. You would need one if you want to modify the signal.

Going on the vacation with my gf and her family starting on Saturday. Driving to Philadelphia, then to New Jersey, then to Vermont to stay for 4-5 days. I'll be gone from this Saturday to next Sunday. Yall be good while I'm gone!

Going out of town today and tomorrow for work. Gonna be in some cold again today, should be right around freezing I think while I'm out there working in it both days. At least it isn't supposed to be horribly windy like last time. That really gets you cold.
