    18" BTL on fast-bass rock

    So you're going to have a 3-way substage? You'd get a lot smoother response if you just went with one.

    *shudders* You only need one size of sub for the subbass. Mixing them is a horrible, horrible, horrible idea. A sealed Q or two would have been a better choice...

    I think you ordered the wrong driver in the Fi lineup...
  4. Refreshing to see a PCB that doesn't have any surface mount parts on it I noticed you have the new Knu Karma interconnects...how are those? I was thinking about picking up some myself...

    8 gauge wire into push terminals?

    Five feet is not a long run of speaker wire. 105 feet, maybe. There are a lot of voltage drop calculators out there for wire sizing, do the research...

    Rolled my car trying to hit an Armadillo.

    Walked out of that and went and played Guitar Hero. Wow. Anyone else notice this? Insurance companies must love you.

    Welcome to the IHoP

    Ugh, four hours of studying later and I really don't feel like I know anything...

    Cut the wire down to fit...a wire's ampacity is based on length as well as cross section...it's not like you're pushing enough current through it to make a difference over an inch of thinner wire.

    I want a 3000D

    But I'd settle for an SAZ-100.8

    Actually, I don't

    omg the mini is getting a wall?!?!?!?!

    I really don't care if you wall it off or not, it's just a question of whether or not the compromises you chose are going to make it either unsafe or quiet. And your first response to that came off as pretty arrogant, I don't know if that's what you intended but that's how its received on here. For example, do you have a way to build trim panels that work and still are removeable?

    Judging by some of the photos I've seen, Phil does some good work...

    Ascendant Audio is up to new things

    Yes and no... Like anything, it's a question of how much you want to spend...

    omg the mini is getting a wall?!?!?!?!

    Actually, yeah, I do. It's not like any of your previous threads have convinced me otherwise.

    omg the mini is getting a wall?!?!?!?!

    Other walls use heavy lag bolts to secure the wall to the vehicle, in multiple places. We're not telling you this because we're being arsehos. We're telling you this because if you place looks over safety, you stand an excellent chance at injuring yourself, or a passenger. But don't listen. I just hope your parents can afford a wrongful death or personal injury lawsuit when it happens...

    Welcome to the IHoP

    Parasound is good stuff. Ever since I got my SP-9MKII I've had an ARC boner. Tubed, but it's dead quiet. Half baked.

    So how are you preventing it from killing you again?

    Ported Subs

    Most every? Hardly. A lot of them are ported because a lot of people want peaky low frequency output for movies, and ported is the easiest way to do that in a marketable way...transmission lines aren't very economical to ship.

    bass response on 15" BTL

    I thought you said you were getting into SQ? I'd go with the Q's or SSD's...with copper coils instead of flatwound. No extra power handling options needed.
  24. Value Electronics, wooo. I had an Avionixx 800.2 when I first started, didn't have an issue with it but some had a nice habit of their Tripath chips failing...

    25 inch sub anyone?

    1. That makes the assumption that Xmax really matters by itself, which it doesn't... 2. Think about swept area - 14mm of linear travel on a 15" is a heck of a lot different than 14mm of travel on a 25" cone
