HBD brother!! i hope you have a good one! be safe but have fun!! wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

just a random post in here..nothing more, nothing less. i gotz to got to work... hey, i did jsut get to build a 4ft^3 rectangular ported box yesterday!! yaya!! was nice to have something simple! wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

because we can!! lol..but for real, i'm just too lazy to put the actual amp for the rl-p (hifonics nemesis nx750d, yeah a rated 750wrms @ 1ohm) into the truck. i used the orion when i demo's the rl-s and jsut left it there. but your right, they don't need 1200-1500 wrms. 500-700 is more then enough. i do like the idea of having the headroom to add another if ya wish. just make sure impedence will allow such a purchase. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

with the 8's u'll end up with a little less cone area then the 12, and an enclosure just south of the same size (assuming about 2ft^3 for the 12, you'll need about 1.5^3 or so for the eights)..so i'd imagine pretty close performance wise. maybe a slight edge to the se. with the 10's you'll get more cone area in roughly the same sixe box, same assumption as above. edge here easily goes to the 10's. even if the se has more throw, the tens have 40in^2 more cone, or so. all in all, it's a close call. box is going to be the biggest factor in determining the rl-i's (either size) performance, especially compared to the se, which isn't a slouch. my choice? the pair of 10's. whilest i like the 8's (do i ever love my rl-i 8!!) something about 10's is just cool too. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

but sql is so acceptable now. and it's a fairly accurate term. so why the peeve? and x2 and the second part! wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee The peeve comes from the fact that I think n00bs come to think that having 140+dB of substage is somehow "SQ"...when it fact it's just noise. You can strive for both, but you're going to compromise on both ends of the spectrum to meet somewhere in the middle. The term also implies that SQ setups have no output potential - which is obviously false. Just IMHO. aww, understood. and actually, agreed. however, i do disagree that a 140+ system is just noise. one awesome example comes to mid.. 1995 or so accord, loaded with jl's best equipment, including the w7. easily took first at QOTR 2004 in the rookie (i can't remember the exact term, but basicly no0b) class. did a 137 legal. yeah, 137 isn't 140, but had he ran outlaw, he'd been over 140...and had he ran ported..well, you get the idea. i mean, 140+sql is possible. but i beileve, like just about everything, it's the internet "experts" who actually give sql a bad rap. all boom and no actually staging isn't sql, i'll agree. and i'll quit here...time to start a new thread perhaps? anyway, i agree with ramos too...most of the pleasure, at least for me, comes from teh building process. to prove someone wrong, or like the 71 impala build, to make someone happy. buy the car you want, we'll help ya build the soundstage for it. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

waht he said! the rl-i 8 doesn't need huge room....75 to 1ft^3 per sub would be plenty. heck, the rl-i8 in my boys room is in .17ft^3 sealed and it shakes things.. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

i have a 12" rl-p gettign 1200wrms daily from an orion 2500d in 2.5ft^3 tuned to 32hz...no issues....except the wife says i need to gain it down a bit as the sub is overpowering the rest of the factory bose bullchit. oh well, you win some, you lose some...lol.. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

hello folks... tom, pics of the 71 imp in show off and i replied to your topic bro. dennis...female dog slap them. that's why it was invented...lol. wow, power surge just then....blam! wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

mouse motor= SBC elephant= hemi, big hemi mountain motor+ any huge displacement motor rockcrusher = fabled m22 four speed toploader= earlier style ford manual tranny tranny= transmission spray= nitrous draggin chrome = huge wheelstand caged= roll cage inside car cager= car or truck, anything not a motorcycle ricer= need i explain?? that's all i can sit and think of..lol... wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

well, thanks for the compliments folks! i really appreciate them. anyway, for tom...the car in all it's glory... and for you late 70's to mid 80's muscle fans....a malibu thrown if for good measure while the body on the malibu needs some work, the drivetrain does not. the car is stout. i might be doing some trading involving that car... has to the 71 imp, while it looks good in pics, the paint is shot. solvent pops and bondo pits all over it. they tried to sand some of the orangepeel out and did a crap ass job of that too. the car started life yellow.... enjoy, and thanks again!! wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Toyota's are a piece of cake... Try working on a 2002 Buick Century... then female dog... you pucker... nG on any newer buick or chrysler.... wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

fabric...fabric!!!! looking sweet there bro! wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

i don't see how, but thanks bro! wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

but sql is so acceptable now. and it's a fairly accurate term. so why the peeve? and x2 and the second part! wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

T.O.P. beyotchesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss i>j0o (time for a different T.O.P. celebration) wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

this post just messed up my run of three straight with a quote... dammit wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

What country is it that has the densest (sp?) population ? but taht's pure asian...here, we on the go..so the efficiency picks WAY up..lol. talk about your quickies... wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

those would be sick in the vw. they match..kinda. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Joe come up and you guys get everything done? Yessir Took forever though, mainly because the port ( stupid devil laberynth) and the sub didnt want to fit. Im glad you didnt come, we wouldnt have had enough time to demo the mag and mess with the polys and extremii *cough,cough* wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

yeah, tom, we know...lol... but anyway, a few more pics. the car is back at the shop for some interior touch up stuff, so i'll try to get some full body shots for ya tom. here's the remainder of what i did, the amps installed. ont he driver's side, the memphis mc2004. on the passanger side is the mc1000d @ 2ohm. he thinks it's putting out it's full 1100wrms, lol, but since the treo ss is only rated for 500 and it's in bandpass, the 600wrms it's getting is way more then enough. we really don't want to have to change the thing..lol... and now the tweeter and 6x9 install. this is jame's handywork. teh owner didn't want his A piller touched, so james mounted the m class tweeters where his old ones were. now, we call the owner "show car" because he thinks all of his cars (the 71 imp, teh 96 imp ss and his deville) are all of show car quality. the imp ss i'll agree on. the 71's trucnk i'll agree on. the rest?? well, you decide..lol... the seats are actually nice, but they don't recline much, nor do they lean forward at all. that makes getting in and out a female dog. i hope you enjoyed the buildup as much as i hated building the box, lol. though with the way the box works, i'm very proud of the whole install. trunk that is. again, i'll try to get some full body shots today. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Just so I understand... you and vladd = a couple? no, she just uses me for my body but they are always online...not much use, eh?? maybe they multi-task?? wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

that last pic....that's a whole lotta mclass subs..lol... but sweet pics for real! wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

you could, huh, turn it on to scare him... muhahahahaha i guess i really need to post pics of my dogs, damn..lol.. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

have you considered sony's cdx-gt805dx? it has a 7 band eq PER speaker. all kinds of alignment goodies and x-overs. here's a quick look at crutchfield anyway, the shop i work at carries these and we've had awesome luck with them. and they sound really good as well. but if you don't know what you're doing and try to tweak it, you can really mess up the sound..lol.. as far as amps go, memphis? mc1500d on the sub end and a couple of mc2004 for the high side maybe? wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

nice little build there brother!! looking good!! keep with the pics! wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
