where's the smilie for a big head?? anyway, thanks guys... it's sitting in my office so that the glue can cure at a decent temp. also because my wife wanted her car back inthe garage..lol... anyway, i await the acrylic... and also, ryan, do u want me to route (roundover) the edges or are u wanting to do all the finish work? wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

if all goes as planned...my hpo's are going to end up in a "coffee table" horn...hehe..kep the chocolate milk shaken, not stirred... but that's only because, like steve, i have an urge to build something other then a typical sub enclosure.. plus , i wanna know if a horn sounds as good as they say it does... btw steve...i think good towers (i'd use 8's as the mids because of the uber playing so low) with a really nice xover would seal the deal....5.1...bah...i don't have anything other then a rack system currently and i shake the hell outa my house...sounds just like a theater...well, almost wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

ryan, steve.. i honestly have no clue what i'm going to do with it.. i know this much, as soon as the garage warms up (yep ryan, i put ur box together in sub 20 tempertures, but it's inside curing) i am taking the SS out of it's home and dropping the xxx in....going to do a head to head....same car, same box, same power... after that?? who knows?!??! wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

x2 wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

nick..thanks...50" hitachi...soon to be replaced.....65" zenith is the plan... 97...i have no idea yet.....maybe a 1000d..i dunno... nick is supposed to im me so we can talk... wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

straight edge one side.. straight edge other side.. 13.5" tall...i dunno if u can see the tape real well.. 32" long.... 11" deep, not counting the baffle that's yet to be attached... while i'm not going to say it's perfect..it's really,really, really close... whatcha think ryan?? btw..titebond II premium wood glue dries white if ur wondering what the white stuff is.....hehe.... wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee :peace:

okeeeeedoookeeeeee i'll have the box assembled here directly...the mirrors will be cut to fit, but not attached...when i get the acrylic...lol.. alrighty then... wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

it is cut down and ready to assemble..which will happen tomorrow.. pics soon... wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

i can't wait to see the finished product myself.. i know this much.. i've never cut a box this precise...it won't need any sealer, that's how tight the joints are! when i get it assembled, i'll lay a straight edge across the edges and take a pic.. like a glove baby... wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

yep..thsoe are the ones i spoke of above.. small sealed enclosures... btw..i emailed resales (still got the link inmy contacts) about prices for an se or sx...no response....bought a soundsplinter because mike did. great decision!! i love my rl-p.. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

alrighty then..... i'll get er cut down and assembled so that she'll be awaiting... how's titebond II premium wood glue?? only the best for u... wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

hate to quote the whole post, but... i never said re was a bad company. i never said they shouldn't have their bandwagon...and i'd never discredit them because i've never used them (yet)..what i was getting at was the keyboard commando's whose best friends little sister's favorite uncles mechanics grandpa's brother-in-laws son said was an awesome sub.yet they've never heard, owned or seen it (any sub, not just re). i don't dislike the company because of it's followers...i dislike the followers of the users. on ebeef i do have with re, is they don't have great customer courtesy...going on a year since i emailed them...no reply as of yet. and i'd dislike those same ppl if they were on SS or treo's bandwagon...both brands which i have own/owned and use/used. as to the size of the subs...i think 6ft^3 gross is big for a mobile audio sub...but i believe since the majority seem to own suv's...sub companies are going to build subs accordingly...remember when solobarics came out, they were designed for small enclosures, and at the time small cars where the thing to have... i agree about the jackhammer...300+pds....whatever...lol...useless. sorry for my rant..but i want to make sure u understand where i'm coming from.. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

at lower volumes, i don't think i could tell the difference. at the upper limits, however, some subs (eclipse alum) have a metallic "ding" type sound to them....hard to explain, but it's a noticeable sound. don't really have a preference...maybe poly cones cuz i've always had good luck with them. a nice compromise between paper/paper mixs and metal.. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee :peace:

i know.... i'm with ya...just trying to stir something up...lol wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

ryan.. before i cut this down (sorry, i got busy), are u sure u want to go smaller? i mean, running less power, the sub would benefit from the larger enclosure..ie: better low end response, more effiency allowing for xmax with less power, meaning it'll be louder. let me know either way, i'm currently not busy, so i'll be able to get it cut down and assembled. any news on the acrylic? any other news? u fall down any lately? lol..sorry..... wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

nice setup..looks sweet.. so does the car! engine pics are needed now though!! wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

oh it can handle it...it's just not recommended. and buying online u have no warranty anyway... get something 2 ohm stable and be kind to ur electrical system.. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

is the leather done??? pics man, pics!!!!! wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

pay somebody bg...we wanna know how they sound!!! wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

i've used the pr500d...sweet amp. lots of features for the money.. it is sold however, replaced by a memphis mclass 1500d running at 1 ohm..hehe wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

the memphis is an excellent amp...they tend to be pricey retail, but they are hard to beat performance wise. i definitely get the pr1000d over the ma audio, unless ur subs are dual2..in which case, i'd look into a mclass 1500d. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

is what ud did..lol looks nasty bro....it'll heal... take it easy as concussions don't always show themselves right away..and they ain't nufin to mess around about..even if the doctor says u don't have one, be careful for a few days.... wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

i know i liked it!! that thing wangs!!! but i'm in need of a new amp..i think this hifonics, while nice, just isn't what the doctor ordered....i don't know what i'll get yet...but i'm a looking.. might even go ported..hehe sounds like a plan to me!! wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

as i always do..lol... when i get matt's built, i'll post pics of it!! wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
