KU40

Did three chest lifts, three tricep lifts, military press, about 40 pushups, some ab stuff, and 2 quick miles on the bike.

What a shitty day. Now there's some growly, pulsing sound coming from my air vent to the furnace and hot water heater closet. Unfortunately that vent is in my room right above my bed, so as I'm trying to go to sleep after I post this I will be kept awake by it. son of a bitch.

you will not be able to tell if the subwoofer has those extra options. Pretty sure it says he RMS on the SSD's on the website Yes, but isn't that listing for the stock sub? yes it can handle 800 rms stock and with the extra stuff it could handle a few hundred more watts Ok thanks. I was just wondering if anyone had really tested it to get more of a accurate number. Honestly it hardly matters. You'll likely never know exactly what your amplifier is putting out anyways. Furthermore, you can always limit what the amp does put out simply by turning down the gain. So you can put a 2000 watt amp on an SSD and have absolutely no problems as long as you know how to use the gain. Morel of the story- pick up the amp you want for the sub and don't worry about it. Just listen and watch for signs of the sub stressing and turn it down at that point.

1) The formula for tuning a box with a slot port is the same as with round ports. All that matters is the port area, not the shape. There are various places to find formulas, I think the end has pointed you to some. 2) To factor in displacement of the 45s in the corners, all that you need to do is subtract the volume of the pieces of wood that you put in from the gross volume of the box. Remember that the area of a triangle is just half of the area of the square/rectangle that its dimensions would give, so you just need to do width x length / 2, then multiply by the height of the piece. You don't need the angled box formula.

Yesterday I did two bicep lifts, about 20 pull ups both over and underhanded, three back lifts, two shoulder lifts, about 100 crunches and a couple other c-sit ab work, and 3.5 miles on the stationary bike. About to go to the gym again.

When the asshats broke into my vehicle, they just tore out the trunk lock. They skipped using my trunk pop button.

Just for future reference, please create a thread title that is indicative of what is inside. "Question" is too general.

Unusual screw heads help, although a guy I knew had his truck with four walled 15s in it broken into and because the thieves couldn't steal the subs, they just took screwdrivers to the cones instead to destroy them. But recones are cheaper than whole new subs I suppose. Steel bars across the amps would only help as much as the uniqueness of the bolt holding down the bars. Though it would take a little time to undo those, something most thieves don't want to take a lot of. General hiding as much as possible helps the most I think. Also, take the faceplate of your head unit off. I'm sure many times thieves go in just for the head unit and find RCAs attached and know things lie in the trunk. But if the head unit has no faceplate, it's basically worthless and therefore the whole fiasco may be avoided.

Your Escape has a stock 140 amp alternator? Wow, didn't know those things would come with such a large one. I assume you have the V6 model?

All this talk of power handling in relation to box size, why has there been no mention of frequency response differences between box sizes yet? Larger enclosures generally have a lower f3 point as well as a shallower rolloff below that, and therefore generally play lower. That means the frequency response graph is more flat. There's also the transient response aspect of different enclosures. Some people say smaller enclosures have better transient reponse, but going too small can be detrimental as well.

What box is it in? Check the box really well for air leaks.

Buy the BTL and be merry.

x2. He was a great humanitarian and philanthropist in his native Africa.

Damn Nick, either you are tall or that Camaro is slammed. God I love first gen Camaros! Both, actually. I'm 6'3", and as you can see the wheels and tires are tucked into the wheel wells a little. I didn't get down on my hands and knees to check what suspension mods they had done, however. My gf wants to buy one of these someday. I wouldn't object. One of the few GM cars I wouldn't.

Not exactly. Almost all systems are louder with a door or window open. The exception is usually only heavily modified SPL vehicles. The reason it's louder, however, is because of phasing issues. The open door allows bass waves to escape that would otherwise bounce around inside the car and cause cancellation. Doors and windows are too large to be acting like secondary ports. However, if you open too many windows and doors it becomes too difficult for the subs to pressurize the inside of the car anymore because it has to try and pressurize the outside air also.

This shit is PRICELESS!!! EPIC FAIL!!! Man I feel bad for the guy. Not a fail on his part IMO, unless you count choosing a stupid girl.

Didn't even get a bite this morning. Kinda disappointing. With all the rain we had two days ago the water level was way up and it was very turbid.

Did four really light leg lifts today for the first time in 3 months, not much more than just bends. Did about 100 crunches and some c-sit side-to-sides, then 3.5 miles on the stationary bike. After that I also shot a couple baskets for the first time in a month, pretty much just set and shoot. Not much movement other than walking to the ball, ha.

None of that is hurting performance. The only thing is that you should set the gain with the sub output on the head unit at 0, not -20. With it at -20 you'll have to turn the gain up a lot higher to achieve the same output. Not that it matters, since a signal is a signal and the gain setting on the amp is just to match it. However, if you set it at 0, that leaves you with room to turn the bass down relative to other speakers from the head unit if you want.

Took the day off. Heading out for some fishing.

You got it.

Three chest lifts, three tricep lifts, shoulder shrugs, about 100 crunches, oblique lifts, and 30 pushups in supersets.

It will usually say in the product description. If not, check the owner's manual.

Having multiple sized, not to mention different models, of subs put together in the same setup is not ideal. I mean I suppose if you want to have two entirely different setups in the same car and have only one selected at the same time.... well ok. You'll waste space, but I guess if you don't care then it doesn't matter. Just don't play them both at the same time. It will sound like poop.

i dont know if you read it or not.. but ive got an explorer.. and i originally planned on only getting one amp but i have so much room in the back i decided two would look better and maybe beform better.. but thanks anyways for the advice!! Whoops. Not sure where I read single cab. Maybe I was flipping through too many threads at one time. It would be nearly impossible to fit two 15s in a single cab, ha. As for the strapping, it's just easier to set up the amplifiers that way. You basically just use the controls from one amplifier to control both amps, that way you know they are both putting out the same signal to the subs. It also helps with ease of wiring a little bit. "Bridging" isn't applicable here since that normally refers to using two separate channels on a single amp to drive a single load. So, for instance, bridging a 2 channel amp to run a single sub. You use both channels and sum their outputs. Strapping is similar, except you use two separate mono amplifiers to drive a single load (which could be two subs wired together to become a single load).
