KU40

doh. My favorites were the early 2000's Diablos, the last couple years for them. The Murcielagos and Gallardos are ok. But if I would get a new one it would have to be the Reventon because one of my other fascinations are fighter jets.

It wasn't me, I promise!

it also depends on the tuning frequency. If you tune the 12's lower than the 10's, the lower port will help the lows a little (but a lower tune will require a longer port for the same port area, so there goes a little more internal box volume). Plus you could add polyfill to the 12's box too. And even though you say you can have double the RMS of the 12's, that doesn't mean the subs can actually handle it in order to use it. If you smoke the subs after two weeks then you'll probably wish you had gone with the 10's. So kind of a back and forth deal. I'd just go 10's and be done. Edit since I just read your second post after I posted this: 40 hz? really? If you want to hit the lows, go 30. I don't like porting above 35 because it just gets too peaky and one note-ish.

KU40 = Nick oh, oops. You didn't mean here and now

I like the Lambo doors. In fact I love Lamborghinis in all their greatness. I just don't think they should be on a 10,000 dollar car. Or, really, anything other than a Lamborghini. Now if only I can scrape together the 250 g's to buy one.

so this is kinda way back to the beginning, but.......why did somebody put lamborghini doors on a Ford Contour? even if it is an SVT

car: 1991 Olds Cutlass Supreme Electrical: stock but with Orbital red top battery Amps: Crossfire BMF 1000D Subs: 4 ED12K (flatcone) Box: 4 cube sealed Mic: Tone: 48 hz or so Score: 152 outlaw on Audiocontrol in the kick, 142 legal on the windshield with termlab sensor (big drop, ouch!) That was like 4 years ago. Haven't gotten the Mag metered in my Explorer yet. It's probably a little less loud overall but much better low lows.

I was surprised he ran a plus 4.5 40 yard dash. I always thought he was faster, especially with how he pulled away from KU's Aqib Talib this year (who ran a 4.4). Aqib isn't going to be any better than possibly a nickel corner in the NFL. I think he's overrated. It's kind of interesting what a couple of years can do for a player at the college level. You may know Marcus Watts, who started at safety for KSU a bit. He was in my grade and we went to high school together, were on the basketball team together, etc. I think two years ago there were rumblings that he may go in the 2nd to 3rd round. and now, undrafted and doesn't seem to have any buzz to even get a tryout.

Yeah indeed. Maybe try porting the Mag if you have the room.

I'd say to see the biggest difference do the wheel wells and firewall to feet areas. Just a suggestion if you're on somewhat of a tight budget and don't think you can do the whole car. Since, obviously, road noise comes from the tires rolling along the pavement and the engine can make a lot of noise as well. If your engine is really noisy you can get a pad to put on the underside of your hood. A guy I used to work with did that on his Bronco and said it helped a ton. You'd also be surprised to find out how much different tires can make a difference in road noise. and there are of course air leaks around doors, windows, etc, where seals may need to be replaced. Being that's a 14 year old car I wouldn't doubt it has leaks like that. But those are kinda off-boundary suggestions. You just might want to pinpoint exactly what noises you are hearing so that you can make the most of your deadening power.

Hello all. I'm not new to this board, I think I registered like 3 years ago, but haven't visited since August 2007 says my last login thingie. I just feel the need to pick a new online community since my "first love" of soundillusions.net/carstereos.org is down again. And so is forceaudio.com, though that one has never gotten much attention and only a very small core group. My reason for picking this board was highlighted by the fact that it was home to Stereo Integrity, but now I see they're moving to their own place. doh. Oh well, I'm still really just after staying somewhat up to date on new stuff and chatting with/getting to know folks. And this board has a ton fewer morons than those humongous forums, which I couldn't keep up with anyway since they have like 1000 new posts a day, which are half garbage that you just have to sift through anyway. I won't be buying anything new for the foreseeable future, and my SI D2 is still running strong and i have no plans to "upgrade" it. I'm happy and satisfied with what I have and I'm becoming less and less of a loud-music-in-the-car fanatic and more towards loud-music-in-the-home fanatic. Now I just need to save up my money for a down payment on house with a basement I can turn into a HT so that I don't bother the neighbors in my townhome (which I'm lucky in my position since our apartments are 4 in a row to a building, and I'm on the end with nobody in the second position on my side for the last year. So I have a "buffer" zone for the rest of my building's occupants )

I put my crossovers under my front seats. Saves on wires but still hidden away.

I sure miss that pitching lineup too. At least they still have smoltz now and he's still as good as ever. And Hudson is a very quality #2. I just wish Hampton would get over his injuries. I thought he was really good and thought it was a great pickup by the Braves, but two years later and still nothing. I still have hope though. and they have a host of young talent for starting pitching. Now if only they could get a bullpen. I've forgotten the details of the Turner/Braves/TBS deal, but I know they were on it last year because I remember thinking I needed to enjoy every game that was on because it would be the last year for it. and I sure have missed it. although I have less patience to watch a whole game now than I used to so maybe it's not as big of a loss as I thought.

my friend's two JL 12W.....5's? like 9-10 years ago. It was the first system I had ever heard and it floored me. It was what got me interested in car audio. Yeah, I guess I'm pretty basic. I've never heard 235,000 dollar amps or hard core SQ competitors' cars.

booooooo

I'm watching the Suns/Spurs game and it's almost unwatchable because of the same hack-a-shaq "strategy" used by Popovich as last game. Yes, I agree with the announcers when they say that the rules shouldn't be changed just because one guy doesn't have the skill set for free throws. However, it is obviously an intentional foul! I don't know how you can't call it as such? That should be a free throw plus the ball every time. It's so aggrevating. If you want to foul him when he gets the ball every time, fine. But not away from the ball. Guys like Bill Simmons (aka the sports guy for those who read espn.com) says he can't believe when people say that college ball is better than NBA ball because the NBA has such greater talent. Sure, it does. But in college they don't play this crap. In college, teams win because they are a TEAM and play with good fundamentals. College is much better.

From Hays originally, now in Lawrence. You?

Gonna smoke some salmon tomorrow that I caught in alaska last summer. should be awesome.

I'd go the cheaper route. Save your money for other stuff. I don't know how you wouldn't be satisfied with "only" 2k watts if it's just a for fun car/project and not real serious (like competing). There may be a time in a month or a year when you're glad you have that 1300 bucks.

heck yeah he is. I played with/against him at the rec center a couple times. real down to earth and a little playful/goofy. I've been following him all year with the Hornets and am glad they're doing well in the playoffs so hopefully I can watch him/them since networks show more playoff than regular season action.

Yeah it was really funny, the other day I was reading an article on espn.com from a former lakers player, Paul Shirley, who was only in their camp for like 10 days once in 2001 or something like that, about his Lakers experience. Anyways, he said "My hotel room is awesome. The Lakers' charter jet is awesome. Shaquille O'Neal is awesome. Kobe Bryant's personality is not awesome." haha.

ugh, I hate the spurs. probably from the shaq in LA days. and I don't know why, but I hate Tim Duncan. I say I don't know why because I watched a special on him that showed his life growing up and all, and he seems like a cool guy and down to earth. and he is respectful on the court and doesn't talk trash like 98% of the people, which is something I really like in a basketball player. But for some reason I just have this deep seeded hatred for him. ha. and I like Arod, though I haven't really followed him for the past few years. I just liked him back in the day when he was in the same lineup as Ken Griffey JR, who is one of my faves of all time.

whew, this board is quite a bit faster than I thought. I've only been gone for like an hour but already like 20 new posts. I'll have to get used to that.

I guess I missed this boat back in October, ha. But I jumped on the second time around.

dang. I want to be in a smallish earthquake like that. We don't get many in Kansas. i'm a geologist, so, you know, these things intrigue me. can't help it.
