No... Laurie (my fiance up there in WI) died back on June 12th a year ago... I moved back to new orleans shortly after, just couldn't handle myself up there... and am now in Tulsa, OK... set and stable and working on Alchemy Computers... it's been a journey. hmmm..less then 500 miles....would be a good road trip this summer. might have to do that. sorry to hear about the fiance, and as mark mentioned, hopefully the business is going good. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

sup sean?? big plans for this evening? i've got vodka and citrus poweraide on the ready. might get another tattoo, lol.... wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

T.O.P. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

links??? wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

lol.... wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

i'm fine now. wasn't yesterday. just some shit in the personal life but it's squashed. i wasn't going to say anything at first, so i posted that. after some thought, i decided to be me, and let those responsible know about it. and i did. and i feel much better. you bought the red one, didn't u? wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

lol..SWEET! wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

the Crown amps are true current servo amp zomgwtfm8? It's nothing extremely special. Right now I'm looking at a board almost identical to the one in your amp that might be true,but few amps are as sexy!!!! wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

how is the sub(s) wired to the amp? what size power wire and power potential is the amp? i'll still wager there is a voltage issue at upper volumes. even if his voltmeter isn't showing it, it could be that the dip is fast enough to kill the system but not register on the dash. put a dmm on the battery, or power terminals of the battery, and turn it up. tell us what the dmm reads when it shuts off. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

neither of our opinions are wrong, they are just for two different purposes. you have to remember, he builds as hobby and for sq only. i had to build for a living and to get it as loud as possible in as little space as possible. he can give up more because he is looking for fill, not output. ok, 1.5 won't work. you need 2. if the rl-p is that deep (i'll have to measure mine and see) then upfiring is your only choice. without raising your seat. and i don't think you'll give up output either. ask sean about the 4 upfiring sealed 10s i did have, lol. and as far as motor to box room, you really need the width of the pole vent difference, but you can get away with as little as 1/4". again, it's what you can give up to achieve a goal. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

and there you have it... two for the blue. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

get the blue. and i think i'm done with all things and all people. fuck the world, it can go to hell and take everyone with it. peace. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

yeah, john, that's just the ford freak (dodge duffus now maybe?) trying to act tough as always, lol... anyway, sup puny man??? you up in wisconsin now? what part? wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

haha, that's the pimpest sleigh ever!! wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

My Dad's old company had "beer Fridays" back in the 70's the jack daniel's brewery has good fridays. i can't remember if it's every friday or just the first friday of the month, but every employee gets a bottle of their choice (jack black label, green label [only available in TN], gentleman's or single barrel). if i was a whiskey drinker, that job would be prove heaven. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

ok, i'm going to disagree with sean here. one, i've used 1/2" for more then a dozen of this style box (underseat), all the way around in daily drivers. not a single box has yet to fall apart or fail to impress the owners. ask iluvJDM, he has a box identical to mine. is sean's way the correct way? in a perfect world. but trying to port a 12" driver under the seat isn't the perfect install place. yes, you can raise your seat to get added clearance, no problem. but it will make rear seat passangers unhappy, and if you don't care about them, just remove the seat. then you have all the room in the world. use two inch legs. and keep the baffle parallel with the floor. yes, it will affect some tuning having the sub face that close, but the ICON doesn't reach it with full power, and i doubt anyone can hear the difference. and as long as the pole vent can breathe, you should be ok. sure, it would be great to have at least the diameter of the pole from any wall, but again, we are trying for ported under a seat with a 12". and drop, i'll have to measure again, it might be 8.5" at the rear. i guess what i'm trying to say here is that with proper planning, proper bracing, and a good build, one can indeed get away with doing it the "lesser" way. i'd absolutely love to see the room to build it the way sean likes too under a seat and ported, but he's not a basshead. he's building to enhance lowend, not exaggerate it. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

and sean..i didn't know you had a motorcycle? i missed that one...what is it? and with that....time for shower/shave and work. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

I'd do a modded Duramax diesel with an upgraded Allison tranny in a HD 3/4ton fully loaded Chevy. I'd rather have the Ford in the diesel anyday, but both are rather overkill for pulling less than 4k lbs at most. Plus something smaller in the garage never hurts. Not many people around here has had good luck with keeping the 'strokers running past 100k miles without dumping some serious money into it. i've only heard of problems with the newer, smaller powerstrokes. the older 7 ltr ones seem to be ok. IIRC, but then again, it's a ford product, so i could be completely backwards on that, lol. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

the jeep srt8 has a tow rating? i thought that it was like like uber low for an suv? i know the trailblazer ss has a higher tow rating, though it isn't as quick/fast/nasty. i want a duramax. or an older superduty. the newer ones are far too ugly up front. the chevy has the better interior. but the navistar is a beast, and the older super's do have a beefy truck look about them. the wifey is actually thinking about about a cts-v!! yes!! and tom, that is drifting at it's most expesnsive ,and stock, level. and i want the new zr1 for my bday, sans the plexiglass hood panel please. that blackish silver would be pimp. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

i've got 5 of you all added... and i was on till 11 cst last night. though i was playing ghost recon advanced warfighter (or some shit like that, lol) still got a few more to throw on there. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

i play COD4 and any first shooter. usually with mini me. and halo3 as well. i'm not good at any of them. the account to look for is FifthExpert and if you notice a disticnt difference in playing ability from time to time, it's because that's mini me's account. and he's pretty damn good, especially compared to me. now to write down all these names and find you bastages (and i seem to remember bringing this up in mark's thread up in the spotlight, hmmmmmmmmmmm) wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

i doubt having the box as is will cause any issues. the only problem i can see is that you might get some noise due to the two 90* turns. i would recommend you rounding over the outside and inside edges of the port wall. the inside can be done with a router and roundover bit, the outside with a 45*wedge or roundover the corners with resin and or cut pvc. otherwise, i'd say good to go. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

i think they sound pretty damn good. they are a bit on the sluggish side, if you go big box. but overall, not a bad choice if one is wanting a little of everything. casey, what is the sq box? wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

From the way you've described it, it's just plain SQ. The assumption that SQ can't be loud is totally wrong. I don't know where people get that idea from, maybe the basshead crowd hears us listening to something other than rap and assumes SQ is for the dainty and weak If I want to reproduce what the London Symphony Orchestra sounds like at fortissimo, that sure isn't going to be very quiet true, but i have yet to see anyone in an sq setting capable of 150. most are in the 135-145 area. and yes, every sq competition i've seen is done sealed up, on the dash for the spl measurement. so i'm sure when done outlaw, a few are approaching, if not surpassing, 150. but i think if someone is going to try and coin a term like SQXtreme, it needs to mean something hard, almost impossible to do. so maybe 160db plus with proper staging? and no switching of enclosures? and LB, i'm a basshead myself. any box tuned at 36hz isn't sq anything. especially for 15s. tune low 20s, then talk to someone. i had a real long soapbox reply here, but i'll save it. please quit tugging on the man's cape though. it is you who are having a hard time taking constructive critisism. ///m5 is just putting it plainly. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

what's up with the night crew? everybody busy last night? all christmas shopping is done! most all bday shopping is over as well. thank god! pretty soon, there will be money in my bank account again. i really hate mondays wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
