Thumpper

I have completed the Level B welding ticket and I am still at the college practicing for the big preasure test on the 16th in Vancouver..... onced that is out of the way I should be able to manage my spare time (weekends) for a few projects I will let you guys know as soon as I do

...I will probably take on 5 or 6 builds over the winter durin\g lay off time but I doubt I will be shipping any more enclousures out of Canada unless the customer wants to deal with all the shipping details and billing themselves... I am not shure on the hours or even where I will end up working ( in or out of town) so I can't be shure when I will start back up...if I work out of town it will be fall before I will be around long enough to build anything

Just a little update for those minds that want to know..... only 3 and 1/2 weeks of school left and I'll be back to work...there are a couple of future projects and enclosure request builds coming so I will be back

sounds like you are trying to get more out of your system than it is capable of personally I would get more power behind those components , set the gains correctly and stay below 3/4 volume on the head unit

wow... anyone taking part in trying to make this bill happen are victums of insestic breading or they were dropped on their heads really fuckin hard when they were kids........ people this stupid should be flipping burgers not passing bills

this enclosure was built back in 2003 for a pair of JBL W10gti subs and hit a solid 145db in a 4 door sedan...... 1.6cf3 per side (minus sub displacement) tuned at 33hz this thing has been collecting dust for a few years and I'll give it away to anyone who can pick it up or pay shipping (personally I would rather have it picked up) but I will ship it

I have a Crown amp not a typical Class A/B ...it is loaded with Crowns Ballanced Current Servo circutry someone was making a serious look what I can build statement when they designed it

you are going about it the WRONG way.......most hard core subs peak way to high for your goals and running class D would take ALOT of power..... I could easily do it with a four door sedan , four 10" woofers and a Crown A6000gti amplifier....... the A6000gti would cost aprox $1500 used and the subs would be even less ...you would be looking at about $3,000 for equiptment and materials

two 15" Xcons would be MUCH better..... personally I think for 15" Xcons would rip all the spot welds loose on the body of that poor car....LOL my Windstar is a rattling peice of shit after the Quad Xcon experience

your systems are based on good install..... the fact that you know how to build a decent enclosure has alot to do with it

I got 2 kids...they flip me the bird on occasion but it"s done in a fun way but I think that poor child will be suffering hearing damage before he is finished elementry school ......take some advice from someone who has hearing damage (don't let kids sit in the vehicle when the music is cranked)

well after recovering I got offered work on Natural Gas Pipeline so I have to upgrade my Level C welding ticket to a Level B Preasure ( 4 months ) and then I have 4- 6 weeks of Preasure Testing with the Natural Gas company.... still gonna build car audio on my spare time/weekends when I'm done school...I just can't make $200K a year building boxes......... no build logs so might show a few progress pics as I go... pics of the shop...sorry for the blurriness...I'm using my phone for these 4" clamp up tack.... root pass complete (6010) and about to tie in the hot pass (7018)

I doubt I'll leave Canada...I have full Medical/Dental coverage thru my Union and I have enough welding work ahead to last untill I retire...but.... I think I am going to find myself 2 or 3 people with decent rides and the cash to build some sick comp systems to work with .....poundthatsound.com will most likely turn into a competition stats/picture site for the select few

class D amps are a definate no no for someone like myself who likes to comunicate with whales..... the further away I go from class D the more impressive the low end becomes so far I have not found any amp that even comes remotely close to my Crown A3000gti for bottom end...not even close

I have hit 147db+ @ 27hz with four 10" woofers in a 4 door sedan on 3200w rms...... as well as 143.6db @ 10hz bet I could have gotten 3 to 5 db more out of it with a bit more tweeking the install,subs and enclosure are a big part of it but the amplifier (beleive it or not) matters every bit as much personally I never had much luck doing this with a class D amp..they just don't have it down low

I have tried one combination that works even better than the one I showed here but it comes at a much higher price range..... Herbalife weiught gain protein combined with the Male Factor , Cell Activator and their multi vitamin ...probably the best nutritional products I have ever taken but friggin $$$$$ my sister uses Herbalife products and she has been in the top 3 in Canada for the past 6 or 7 years competing in Natural (no steroids) Fitness competitions once I am back to work and can afford the stuff I will be going back to it

I actually never really made any money building enclosures...with the Canadian prices of materials and the time put in combined with all the money I had to dish out from after the fact billing from shipping on the enclosures I sent to the US profit was pretty well nothing...to the point that all the fun was taken out of it plus car audio in Canada is pretty much dead..... saddly it's a starving industry with min wage income at best..not worth my time anymore I will always have beats in my ride but as far as taking on others projects I'm officially throwing in the towel...

at the moment I have all my spare time spent reading and studdying for school...not a cake walk like Level C was ( my brain hurts..LOL) I have talked about this with my wife and the best thing for our family is to put everything into my welding career with the amount of $$$ I will be earning with this preasure ticket I doubt I'll be getting back into selling designs or enclosures ever again..... it will have to be back at the hobby level....my builds will be limited to myself and friends after I have that preasure ticket in my hands

Then you suck at box design yup your right...,... I suk at box design..... as far as dropping.... the 12" L7's I had couldn't even hold a candle to a few brands of 10" I have tried for dropping low notes...not even close...llike wayyyyyyy not even close......Kicker Squares don't drop the lows worth beans with out committing suicide all it takes is a video camera,termlab and four 12" L7's on 3,000w to prove me wrong.. seriously though...MANY have tried to impress me with a square sub...it has not happened yet ..I was even forced into a blind comparison for being a smart ass about it on CCA by a local dealer/installer.... I won........they have a very unique sound to them that my ears can pick out easily ( personal listening taste I guess )

I have seen alot of loud single subs.....9 out of 10 times though some kid show's up with a alpine type R in an ugly silicone box and an abortion of an install and blows it away by a db....LOL it's not the sub....spending the time testing different boxes/configurations will make any $300 sub loud BTW.... aint no way to make an L7 sound good..I have tried..square subs sound like they are chewing down a good meal when the hz drop to the floor...

nice...... just curious on the low end extension......how well do they drop the really low stuff... more like the Icon or the Xcon ????

keep it up....good grades in welding means alot...specially if you are really good in the Practical end I had a bit of a head start being a welders helper on the pipeline...completely kicked ass in Level C and made the Deans List that little peice of paper is the most valuable page in my resume

I'm in a Red Seal Apprentership trade...level c (already done)...Level B...(doing now) and level a comes next a Red Seal ticket is good anywhere ...you need to test for the Canadian Welding Beareu every 2 years for the ticket as long as you are working (for each position and process)..and if you do not work for 2 months you need a retest to be certified the Natural Gas Distribution preasure ticket is totally seperate..this ticket requiers testing 3 or 4 times a year I beleive

the spring,summer and fall here is really nice working weather..it isn't that bad I have worked with this company before ...some members of my family have been employed with them since the late 1970's .........I have a good 10 years experience working with natural gas line as a welders helper,plastic fuser and a labourer

I have never really had a problem with undercut on my caps turn your heat down a hair and/or change the rod angle slightly...slow down a bit and let it fill
