    Gains by ear

    50hz is where most set by ear. and you need the sine wave. music is dynamic, so it fluxates too greatly to be done right. also, use a 0 to -3db tone. depending upon who you talk to, you'll get different answers on why to use the 0db or the -3db tone. some prefer teh 0db due to the fact it'll provide a cushion compared to music, where others will argue the -3db is more accurate or closely relates to the peakiness of music. (or some shit like that, lol. i'd have to look that up) one thing....3/4 volume on the headunit is like 3/4 gain on the amp. it's a guess. you don't want the h/u clipping either. get a 1khz test tone, play through the h/u and speakers, not sub. turn it up till you hear the tone change. that's your h/u clipping. set you sub gains with the h/u turned up to the point just before clipping. of course you'll have to reset once you amp your high side and finish the system. otherwise, what you have described is the accepted way of setting by ear. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

    ~~ SSA Protoype super8 ~~

    i'll bite.. how much? and how many? wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee We don't want to give a price until we are positive. And less then 7. oh really? pm me with details please, if i'm on the short list. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
  6. take the positive from one coil, connect it to the negative of the second coil. run the remaining positive and negative to the amp. it's called seriesing the coils, and in the case of D1s, it'll give you a 2 ohm load. per sub and amp. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

    Gas Prices, again...

    i changed my ways. got rid of a truck for a mini cooper, 16mpg for 30. got rid of the trailblazer for a truck that has active fuel management and can use e85. 17mpg for 19 this last tank full of regular gas. i'm trying my first tank of e85 now. oh, and the scoot gets 39mpg. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

    ported box for 2 10" RL-i's

    i agree with ox... 1.5-2 cubes net, tuned 30-34hz depending upon your musical tastes. want the low, lows? 2ft^3@30, want numbers on a meter? 1.5@36 or higher. want a nice blend? 1.6-1.75 @ 34hz. my personal tastes (mostly metal mixed with some hip hop and boom) would lend itself to the last setup. also, the 600-800wrms would be perfect. so if you think the current amp is around 1k, your set. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
  11. mrray13

    Look at this box design...Opinions Please!

    a final tuning of 35hz, with 15s? that's a bit high, but it should increase your output. have him build it, sounds like a good plan. and if it doesn't work, try something else. but as mentioned above, i'd put atleast a single layer on the car. also, that current box is awful small looking for a pair of 15s. what's the specs on that? wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

    SSD problems

    just out of curiousity, have you checked and made sure the box was ok? maybe something broke inside the box, or an outside wall? it'll make that same kind of sound. did you smell any thing funky during all of this coming from the sub? wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

    i wish our president had the balls to say this

    horseshit? no, reality check. i don't agree with all of it, but as i mentioned elsewhere, the meat and potatos of it is the fact that our country is too concerned with everyone's feelings but our own. give and give, but get nothing back but hate? as is mentioned in the post above mine. everybody talks about our current state of mind, it was our PC state of mind that's digging us this fucking hole. be nice to everyone regardless of their feelings towards us. make sure the illegals are cared for while natural citizens suffer. yeah, it's horseshit. commercials all over the air about saving some other country while our own people suffers. yeah, it's horseshit. and just as some Americans will care less about this, i'll guarantee there are canadians who feel as Australia's PM does, did. i'm sure all canadians think as you do. most human nature is to be a follower. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

    Custom Fabrication

    Sounds good to me accept for the laminating. I have gotten into the habit of using either duct tape or painters tape. I lay on a couple layers of tape so the resin doesn't soak through, then use a plastic drop cloth to cover the rest of the floorboard and seat. Then wet out the mat in strips and just apply it to the tape. If you dab the resin on the mat until the mat itself is transparent. ( which you should always do transparent = good saturation) It will stick to the tape well on the vertical surface. Lay up a layer worth of strips one direction, then lay another layer of strips 90 degrees on the bias. THen one more on the 90 bias for good measures. I do all thre layers at once. You get a really strong light weight floor mold. Once the mat has cured and is dry to the touch, pull the mold and remove the tape. If your worried about warpage, you can always put the plastic droploth on the back of the mold and put the mold back into the car to fully cure. But there are several different ways to go about building kicks in a vehicle though. It depends mainly on the vehicle and the kick area in question Figure for a pair of kicks $10 mat $30 gallon of resin ( won't need but a little over a quart for a normal size set of kicks. But it's cheaper to buy in bulk ) $20 for two quarts of filler ( one reinforced ) $5 sandpaper $5 for tape $5 for gloves and brushes $2 for plastic tarp and some scrap mdf for a pair of baffles much appreciated..... what about something as far as amp racks go, or, specifically, where the amp is embedded into the side panel in the trunk and even into the floor of the trunk. Im not saying that this is done with fiber, considering ive been told its mostly done with mdf. done with both. framework out of mdf, finished off with glass. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

    i wish our president had the balls to say this

    No, but we can't forget it either, because there are a lot of people out there that haven't. Someone should have told Bush that before using words like "crusade" as a casual remark in speeches...that's getting into other issues, though As long as we have a don't-ask-don't-tell policy when it comes to below-minimum wage jobs in this country, we won't have a moral leg to stand on in this debate. We can pine about how we'd all like to make a language requirement a reality, but as long as employers are hiring people for illegal wages this will continue. And no wall or over-the-top rhetoric is going to stop it. you'll get no argument from me. but one can still hope that someone will see the light and follow through. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

    i wish our president had the balls to say this

    aboriginies= our native americans, and i point i totally agree with. that said, we can't change the past. though one would think we could treat them better in the future. i guess the reasons i agree with the article is mostly over the immirgration, language and the host country having to bend to appease them, instead of them adapting to the home country. it's crap and it needs to change. but you do indeed bring up some interesting thoughts. radical any religion is scary. period. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

    Welcome to the IHoP

    Is a cubic foot equal to 6.2 gallons (28 litres)? I doubt the math is correct, but if it is and even if I was drinking water I personally would choose not to stress my body that much ... even over 12 hours didn't a radio station in cali do that and kill a woman? from water poisoning or some shit? i'm sure it was something along those lines. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

    Custom Fabrication

    most kicks are done with mdf (or somekind of wood) and or fiberglass. most kicks are predominatly 'glass, and while messy and time consuming, it's not all that hard to do. to mold a specific shape, you'll need plastic, tape (lots of tape, preferably duck tape and blue masking tape) and the fiberglass. you'll want to use the plastic and blue masking tape to cover any areas in teh immediate area you don't want covered with resin. after that's done, use the duct tape (and aluminum foil or anything that resin will have a tough time sticking to) and completely tape off the area you wnat to mold. use some mold release over the duct tape to help with removal. mix your resin and apply a layer. let that flash and repeat, adding in some mat. flash and repeat. make sure you go a bit larger then the final product as it's easier to trim down then to add. let that third layer completely dry. remove from vehicel and ta da!! you have a starting point. hope that helps, and i'm sure ramos, acidburn and few others will chime in and give you some different options. but that's it in it's most generic, basic form. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

    so I decided to get back into web development

    i like the page alot. teh ICON is killer, though the music is like a boomier version of elevator music. i guess it needs to be kinda generic though. colors look good, not overboard. overall, it's easy on the eyes, looks easy to navigate and is put together well for someone like me who has no clue how you built it. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
