    table saw

    Nope, Biesemeyer is a good brand, and I've heard really good things of Incra's fences (but those are more than your whole budget...). Quick question, have you ever used a table saw before or anything? never used anything, im a virgin to woodworking

    table saw

    i'll be taking a dive into this box building thing and i wanted to know what brand table saws u guys are using to do your cuts. right now im looking at a ryobi 10inch @ home depot for $250, a hitachi 10inch @ lowes for $227, and a craigslist used craftsman for $65. what features should i be looking for to get smooth accurate cuts out of my table saw? i really don't wanna go over $250 so dewalt and rigid are out of the question unless i can find it on craigslist for the low low.

    Slot Port Length by hand

    i need someone to break this down retarded style because i want to be able to figure this out by hand as opposed to using online calculators. here are the specs... external box dims h=18 d=16.5 w=40 -box 5.51 cf (net) -desired tuning freq 32hz -port surface area will be 82.5 -port height 16.5 -port widht 5 i know all of you experts will be able to help me out..thanks

    Slot Port Length by hand

    would this work...5.51cf originally my port is 1.40cf 16.5x5x29.41/1728=1.40cf..would i just build the enclosure larger to compensate for the the port displacement which would be 6.91cf? and i thought the rule of thumb was to use 12-16 sq inches per cf, so 16x5.51=88.16 sq inches...so 16.5x5=82.5...the bigger the port the less chance of port noise right? please correct me if im wrong ported boxes are new to me

    Slot Port Length by hand

    well i got 29.41 with the carstereo.com calc(includes end correction) so this will be close enough plus this will also confirm that the calc is close to accurate

    wsup with the BL

    thanks 4 all the responses im gonna stick with my first thought which is the BL
  15. nickeveready

    wsup with the BL

    everytime i come on here i read something different about the Q that makes me wanna get one. i had my mind made up on getting a fully loaded bl 12 until today where i read a post basically saying that the BL ain't chit compared to a Q, so i need some help here's what i want btw this is going in a 99 mustang(rear seat delete not trunk) sundown saz-1500, 225 alt, 2 powermaster batts(1 under hood and 1 in trunk), 1/0 guage wiring power/ground split off into 4 guage for amps, cabin fully deadened with 2nd skin or dynamat extreme. 1st question is it seems like people get either the Q or BTL why doesn't the BL or SSD get any love? 2nd question can the Q w/bp handle 1500 watts daily(i wanna here from people that are running these things on saz-1500's or equivalent preferably people with 12's. oh and this will be in a ported enclosure, once again not for comps just daily and i listen to rap and r&b and every once in awhile "One" by metallica...so help me out fellas

    wsup with the BL

    so what you're saying is the Q can do it barely but to be on the safe side go with the BL

    flowmaster? or another brand?

    that's why i suggested the loudmouth 2 not loudmouth 1...i think the lm2 would be a good choice, he said he wanted sumthin with a low rumble @ idle and when he gets on it all heads turn
  18. nickeveready

    flowmaster? or another brand?

    check out SLP Loudmouth 2 if they have an app for lincolns...shouldn't be that much drone inside the cabin, i mean u gotta a system anyway so drone is really not an issue. or if you don't wanna go that route go custom shouldn't be expensive at all. $485 is kinda steep get a quote from another shop..SLP is the chit though imo
