    AA MAYHEM info ??

    Obviously the Mayhem is not better that the NEW BTL, it is the same as the OLD BTL, and the BTL has been re-designed to be better than the OLD one, if the OLD one is better that the NEW one, Fi wasted their time, I highly doubt they would design a woofer that is not superior to the previous model.

    From: RMS for an 18'' BL

    ok man......nobody said ''as long as if it's in spec its fine'' that would have been all I needed to hear............. all I heard was just to build it ''safe for the woofer'' WTF. How was I supposed to know? I can't read fuking minds......I've never had a subwoofer like this...... So you get some respect and fuk off.....u seem like that type of person that thinks they're 'all that' too......and I can't fuking stand that. You need to calm the f... down and listen to yourself. You are asking the stupidest questions. You think there is a God given Holy Grail to box making and you are getting pissed off because you cant find it and no one can give you the answer you want to hear. You need to use your common sense (if you have any) and look at the specifications, power handling, and recommended tuning. Follow those guidelines and you will be fine. Don't be reckless with your equipment and you won't have to worry about having inconvenient problems. X2
  3. That is why your ground is supposed to be just as big as your power wire.

    I know I have a car audio addiction when......

    ----When you make 2 trips to the local audio shops a week. ----When you call those trips "making the rounds" ----When every employee of the shops know you by name. ----When, while making those trips, you are offered a job at almost every shop. ----When you know what every person at your High school has in their car. ----When you have 4 sets of tower speakers, 3 radios, a completely disassembled subwoofer lying on your floor, surrounded by your stock door speakers, and the boxes of every audio product you have ever had stacked on your dresser. and a spider web of speaker wire lying around. And a little cardboard box with with 2 .5" tweets and 2 6" midbass speakers because you ran out of MDF and had no money for gas to get more MDF cause you just bought a $700 amp a few hours before. ----When the guys at the local shops know not to try to sell you anything. ----When you give your best friend chit for buying a prefab box. ----When you have fun quizzing the new employee at the local shop(s) ----When you are posting stuff on a car audio forum about your addiction at 2:30 am ----When, as soon as you wake up, are running to the bank to check how much you made this paycheck. How much that was will determine if you are ordering that $500 sub this week or not.
  10. Yes, that was what this post was about, if I had the elecrrical to run at such a low impedance.
  11. Yes, we only have about 2 competitions a year at most around here.
  12. I was wondering the same thing. Usually if you can't get it rewound it's because the alternator case is already stuffed with wire as much as it can be. No more wire = no more power generation. If you plan on blowing your eardrums out with it turned up all day, get the larger alternator. No, I value my hearing and respect other drivers, I only play loud for short periods of time(competition). And i was going to get a recone for it so Ill be able to change impedance, sorry about the misunderstanding. Duran i still dont understand... even if you get it reconed.... how are you gonna run 2 ohms then change it to 1 ohm when you wish... are you saying for now your gonna run the 2 ohm,... and later your gonna get reconed for 1 ohm? Yes, I'm not sure if I will though, get D1 and run at 2 ohms for daily. And get a extra D2 recone for competitions and run it at 1 ohm. OR I could just get the D1 and run it at .5ohm for competitions, would the BTL take 5200 watts? Duran

    BTL Slug Weight and Manufacturing

    Like they would tell you, I know if I was the owner of a company that makes kick @$$ woofers, I wouldn't give out any info that could get my designs copied...

    Plug on BL pole vent

    JL Audio plugged the pole and put in vents on all their woofers, Kicker L5's and L7's are plugged with cooling vents, Rockford Fosgate P1's, P2's, and P3's are all plugged, I'm not sure about the T1's and T2's though...

    Great pictures, I'm a bit of a photographer myself(with a D80), they have a lot of definition, like they all have a story to tell...

    Fi accessories

    Wow. I bet you almost $hit your pants when that became official. I know I would. But past the point.... I would for sure buy an Fi zip hoodie. And I promise if they make an Fi keychain lanyard, I will be the first to buy. Dude! Hells yeah! My Kicker lanyard looks so gross after a year...I'm all over shirts, jackets, hats. I would LOVE all of them!!! I will buy them right now if Nick or Scott gave me more info on them! *wink wink*(pictures! [email protected])

    I got a reckless driving ticket, a lawyer, and some court fees. I haven't gone to court for it though... Good news! My reckless driving ticket was reduced to speeding(30 in a 25), and I wont have any court fees! So I will have money again soon.

    Welcome to the IHoP

    Wow guys, I exactly know what you mean, I'm 17 and I'm gettin' up there! Haha, sorry guys, I had to do it!
  21. I know Trupan is lighter, but more expensive, has anyone used it and how did you like it over MDF? Does it "sound" different?

    only 1 set of coils on kicker l5

    That is no Kicker sub, the cone and basket looks like a Hifonics Brutus, I bet you can peel the Kicker sticker right off the cone. Tell your friend to get his money back!
