that's cute..hehe training her on nickels right? save the $5 for when she's 21... hehe wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

that's just too funny for some reason..hehe well, hurry up anyway... wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

while this won't be the best answer, i'll give it my best. by putting the sub in the larger box, u loosen up the suspension, ie: it now needs less power to reach full xmax. thus making it more efficient. this does have a drawback...because the sub can reach xmax with less power, u can't give it as much power. and if u try, u risk pushing the sub beyond it's mechanical limits. while that's not the whole story, it's the core. there is the amp's ability to control the sub, port volume and just how much bigger the box is that plays a role in it. but i hope i answered ur question well enuff to help. and remeber, bigger isn't always better. well, at least with sub enclosures......hehehahaha wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

i imagine the ultima weighs quite a bit less. that'll help it a bunch. like tire said, power may come differently. click the link to see the weather. wasn't the greatest. i'd like to know what this car can do compared to the ultima. however, i think the weight difference is going to play the biggest part. this car looks loaded, while the ultima is basicly a street legal race car. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

hmmmmm.. i work all the time..either at GD making 30mm rounds for the A10, or at radioactivity installing other people's av equipment. quite a combo,eh? i'm fixing to start a large project in my truck. maybe a few 15's and 5k of power. but that may change as there is a new amp in the works, strappable to 12k. a friend is on a short list to play with one..hehe...and i get to help..wheeeeeeeeee other then that...helping the child learn how to play the drums and reminding the wifey who's the boss!!! that is all, the boring life of an old man... wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

<--for tire..hehe wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

i'm officially in the box building business. I will design and build your box within the max specs you provide. I will build sealed or ported, using either slot vents or circle. I will also need your sub specs. You tell me which type you want and how you want it shipped. I will ship either completed or ready to assemble. All shipping will be done FedEx Ground unless you want to pay for another way. You can either pm me here or email me at [email protected]. You can also ask questions in this thread. Ok, serving number 2. Calling number 2?!? (twitch is number 1 ) Also, look in the showoff section for some of the boxes i have built. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

this is a copycat from ca.com... anyone know what their vehicle will do? i just got a gtech from ebay..man, this thing is neat. i haven't used the gforce measurements yet... wife's 2004 pontiac grand prix gt2 with the 3.8ltr 200hp SAE net rating...0-60 in 8.1 sec with the 1/4 mile going by in 16.4 @ 87mph...no hp readings yet. my 2004 siverado with the 295hp SAE net rated 5.3ltr did 9.1secs 0-60, with the 1/4 going by in 17.1 @ 81 mph. with a GVWR of 6400pds (minus 4 ppl i inputed 5700pds), i got a 235 hp rating including drag at the wheels. a friend's 1987 buick turbo t did the 0-60 in 5.4 secs with the 1/4 going by in 12.5 @ 115 mph. he's also putting 250 hp to the ground in a (inputed) 3700pdGVWR. we were running uphill some and he still did a 14.02 @101 mph. the car is fast..hehe what about all of u?? wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

i think ppl mention mileage because with today's technology, you can have both, horsepower and fuel economy (or at least something close to it). with 6 spped manuals and 5-6 speed automatics, there is no reason a car with 500hp and weighing 3600pds shouldn't get 25mpg. heck, my pickup weighs over 5000pds, has 300hp and a 4 speed auto and gets 18 mpg doing about 70mph with the tailgate up. of course u guys are right, u don't buy an 800hp "supercar" and worry about gas mileage. all u worry about is if it's going to land the females u thought it would when u bought it. i've noticed u ford guys aren't saying anything about how the ultima beats this ford thingy with 160 less hp. though in the looks department ,especially black, this thing wins. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Low to mid 50's in street b? What are you gonna be running for that? street b is scratched.....lol......i can't remove my back seat for street b. my bad. equipment was going to be two 12" memphis mojo maxes powered by a pair of mojo amps. now i dunno what i'm doing... wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

it looks sic in black!! of course the ford powerplant just ruined it for me.... if it ran a 6 spd manual with a big overdrive...i'd guess 20-25mpg highway..that thing can't be heavy. of course, until proven otherwise, the Ultima GTR is the quickest thing on the planet..at least from 0-100-0....and of course it's only powered by a small block chevy....hehe scroll to the bottom for video and don't forget the in car cam!! wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

ur in a saturn right now, right? u can backstrap ur radio to something.. also, brownbread, dynamat the entire area around the radio. do as much of the dash as u can reach. take pics anyway!!! wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

going street b this year.. also going usaci, but unsure about what class as we are l;ooking at the rules... but hopefully going to be pulling down low to mid 50's.. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

howdy!!! wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

waiting for wires and help getting this bad boy back out of my trunk and a day off then i'll have install pictures love the box love the sound it makes my eyes feel funny awesome...can't wait to see the install!! glad u like the box! wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

welcome to the forum!!! hehe wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

I don't remember what they were ... were yours 8's or 6.5's? I can't remember - I think that's what I'm getting mixed up on. - Steve mine, now my bro-in-law's, were indeed punch hx2 8's. rated 400wrms each, they gobbled up well over 500wrms each and in a 1.75ft^3 enclosure, 4" rd port tuned to 45hz, and a memphis 1000d pushing them...i got a best of 139.6 on a AC mic in a full size x-cab ram. they are now being pushed by that same amp,and same enclosure, in a full size x-cab silverado. awesome lil subs... wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

thnx.. me thinks my head is swelling...oh rhonda!!!!!.. oops...wrong head...hehehahhahahhehehehahahehhehehahaha wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee:slayer:

the only thing routed is the port opening... and it was done with a flush bit..after drilling a pilot hole... of course, all edges are rounded off, including the port ends internally. the sub opening is cut with jigsaw...mad skillz i tell ya!!! wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

does cdt make coaxils? if so, i'd match the comps and get a pair of ef coaxes... sounds like a killer first system so far!! wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

worse thing, sliced my finger putting brownbread on the rear deck of a 98 cobra. it was up unde rthe glass, so i couldn't use the roller. i ran my hand along the edge...tada...2 butterfly stitches to close the gash.. chalk that one up to duhhhhhhhhhhhh!! wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

the power acoustic a2400db is supposed to have the same board as the planetaudio 1200...so yeah they are indeed decent amps.....probably equal to the hifonics. not quite as good as the orion or directed probably, but really close, as the planet audio is considered their equal. IMO, u wouldn't go wrong buying any of those listed. and due to ur budget and wanting stuff to match, the power acoustik's would be hard to beat, the hifonics coming the closest. and not wanting to upgrade later makes perfect sense, however, as most here will tell u..ur first system hardly ever lasts as u will always want more... but i think u're off to a good start... now start buying so u can take pics!!! and update!!!! we are an impatient lot!!!! hehehhahhhhahehahehaha wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

i've never heard re comps..so i can't really help. i suggested them because u said u really wanted the re subs. also, u want to match amps, so why not speakers..lol? anyway, i've read that they are indeed a decent set and u should be happy with them. could u do better for the money? well, there is always a better deal around somewhere..but it's what makes u happy that's important. power acoustik a2400db...$330...same amp steve has pushing his uberwoofer power acoustic a520-2hp...$80...matching high amp..rated 120wrmsx2@4ohm subtract ur componets, both amps from the $740 u had left...u now have $165 to spend on box, wiring, dahs kit and harnesses. this way get's u the subs and h/u u want, a matching pair of amps and even matches ur comps to ur subs. the power acoustik amps are decent amps as well.....ask steve(ss3079).... if the above sub amp is too much [email protected] one still matches, is only [email protected] is $30 cheaper to help with shipping. power acoustik a1800db....$300 and it's only 1400wrms@1ohm... wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

why not the RE re componets? i dunno how much they are, but since ur set on the re subs..match them with the componets(price willing). as to the amps.....the two i listed(the mtx) above can be had just about anywhere for close to those prices.... wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
