welp.... i have nothing to say, so i won't say it... i got called off lay off for monday...yay!! so i gotta get these boxes built today, tomorrow.. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

good morning wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

good morning only going to be 95* here today..with a heat index of 115* and to you arizona fools....your "dry" heat is a whole lot easier on a person then this 85-90 % humidity stuff. i'm not saying it's not hot, 100+ is hot no matter what, but you guys actually have it easy... and if we think where i live is bad, we need to drive down to lousiana or alabama or mississippi.....whew... wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

some seriously nice goodies there!! wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

that should keep me busy for a bit.. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

though tomorrow i'm making a sealed box for 3 10's to go in a crew cab silverado and then i'm making a ported box for one 12 to go in a standard cab ford... one for the shop (the 3 10 box) and one for my lil side business... wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

squeak...ur still on vacation next week right? this weekend, early next week, if i'm still laid off...i might just make a road trip...cuz i'm bored..lol.. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

hey..how come nick never send me any good toys?? other then what i bartered for... ryan sends some cool ones though!! good luck goes to ur friend squeak.. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

i, for one, wanna see alot less clothes on her...lol wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

That's what I said. If they get 12% out of three years, that would be awesome for me. 3 to 4% a year is pretty good....8% for year is flat out awesome... hope ya get it.. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

jim...have u listened to the cabinets yet?? wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

oh..and if anyone is interested in lightning audio stuff (not BB,CC or walmart stuff), my local shop friend is clearing his out at 50% off....i'm going to get a list of stuff and prices... wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

damn steve..8% the first year?? that's huge..lol.. but good luck with the strike. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

if you don't mind lightning audio, like i posted earlier, the shop i work at is clearing out his LA line. 50% off all LA gear. so i can get ya a pretty decent sub for under $200 easily (+ shipping of course) i'll do a lil more research as to what he has and how much... wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

damn nick,....lol.. good morning ed wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

yeah...but when u slug a ported box to take away volume, u raise tuning.... wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

nick...info on the subs....NOW!!! and,ummmm... wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

the projected box u have lined up will work fine. especially since u like the low lows... the box mike suggested would be sweet too..tighten up the response a bit.. hopefully,u'll get the output ur after... wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

done.. and nice work scott! wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

soooooooo... which 15's are we talking about? wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

a pair of 15's justin... or something similiar... strokers??? wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

u really wanna build a box outa plexi material, use lexan. IIRC, at 1/2" it is small caliber bullet proof. at 3/4", it can stop most hi-powered rifles. we use 1/2 and 3/4 at work around our machines to keep ourselves safe in case of an explosion. lol....and it is glass clear. probably a bit more expensive, but it'll add integrity to the enclosure...and protection...lol wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

good morning wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

it gets very,very loud, but not insanely loud? well, it isn't made to get insanely loud. it's made to sound really good while getting very loud. if you wanted insanely loud, you should have bought a different sub. and IME, i can tell you this. the rl-p will handle 1200wrms all day if unclipped and in the proper enclosure. but u have to remember, it's only rated for 500wrms. so even the 750 wrms mine gets daily is over the recommended power. and like everyone has mentioned, you have a couple of things that need to be attended to. fix your wiring, and help your amp out. if your after more output, go larger sealed or like everyone has mentioned, go ported. and since your after spl, i'd suggest 2ft^3 tuned to 36hz. that way you won't lose much sq while improving the chances for "insanely loud" i'd suggest around 20-25in^2 of port as well. in your car, you should be loud enough to go deaf. it has awesome transient response. the bottoming out does concern me. is your box absolutely sealed? it could be allowing the sub to unload. what are your headunit settings? you say the gains on the amps are down, but do you have the head unit's settings maxed? just some things to look at. hopefully we can get this fixed, as you have a really nice sub, backed by one helluva company/person. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
