flakko

im usin a 2 cubebox ported to 33 hz and it sounds AMAZING, except for the port noise. garr.... but 1-1.5 cube ish should be good for sealed i dont trust prefabbed ported boxes.

lol why cant i just add some more baffle? im gonna have to fit an 8.5" tall sub anyways that sounds too confusing hahaha thanks for the ideas. True DIYer right there.

grrr.... polyfill no work shine it eh. im just gonna mod it to be slotted. thanks a lot mike!

hey thanks a lot mike (both of ya) ill try the pollyfill out.

numba sent

woah nice work!!! why should i have 2 left over flared ports? im confused! really confused! ive already got the ports installaed and the end flares are glued on...

will do mike! ill keep yall update! just. gotta. cut. straight. cut these holes pretty good tho. ask camry_tuner! gonna look totally different when im done with this baby

hmmm i guess id better double check on the inside flare.... but then again mike (the SS mike :) reccomended 2 4" and the 4" would be too long. so i dont know. BAH il just smash out the side and stick a slab of wood in there if your idea dont work hehe

yea this box is gonna be for my GZ nuke also. im gonnna extend the area where the sub is around 3-4 inches so it will have enough breathing room. thanks for all your suggestions! me learn lotsa well, i guess im gunna just bash out the side of the box with a hammer, and stick a slab of mdf creating a vented port 1.75x13 23.5" long (givin it around 22" of port area), and putting another side on. i dont have enough length for 2 4" flared tubes. how does that sound? im keepin within the 8:1 rule and it will take up less overall internal volume than goin 2 4" tubes.

i wanna fix my car up to one day be a show car... when my trunk is open, i want things to be near flawless i guess ill have to mod my box or something then, add a baffle, cut the holes bigger or SOMETHING... ill try to figure it out.

yia thas milo. to my understanding, he used to work for usamps back in FL and during the move to socal, he jacked a bunch of heatsinks and boards and stuffed them himself and selling them like they were the real deal, while they were actually buggy and unreliable. they ARE the real boards, just stuffed with underpar parts and unmatching heat sinks.

bugz the crap outa me with the trunk open tho. if i mod the box so that the pole vent of the sub is farter away from the wall of the box would that fix the prollem?

Vance Dickason reccomends that ports should not extend any closer than 3" from the rear of the cabinet. You may need to go to larger porting to reduce the length. Personally, I wouldn't try to put a 90 degree elbow in them. Mike <{POST_SNAPBACK}> no the ends of the ports are 20" away from the sub. its the Pole vent on the sub itself that is 1" away from the wall of the box my dimensions are: (LxWxH) 40 X 9 X 14.5

hehe tp sounds nice : actually tboth ports are the same distance away from each other.... could it also be that the pole vent on the sub is only 1" away from the back of the box?

well i for one am glad you are here... its always nice to have regulars in the forum

they are the 3" precision flared ports... not too sure how big the flare is... its funny cuz only one makes noise.

wrong section!!!! nice amp yo!

thats cuz i got no info lol ive only seen pix thats all. edit: this forum goes quick, but not as quick as the major forums like ca.com or caf. its a slow time for info cuz its ces time. things will pickup within the next week or so

yea and watabout the layers of windings... like that 20.1 has 3 layers, while the 3000DE has 2

that is sweeet! awesome plexi work

Well that attitude sucks and karma always gets yah. Anyways flakko how u liking the merlin amps and why you using them instead of the ax line. Just being curious. OH and what are the dimensions of teh ax-600. US amps site won't tell me. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> yup! i warned him too... merlins are great cant complain one bit, i think one of the most solid of the usamps lines in 2005. reason im using the merlins is because there were no ax's left when i wanted to upgrade : but maybe sometime this month ima get some AX's to play with. as for the size, i dont know. ill let you know when they come out. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> flakko how long have u been dealing us amps? Is this guy tuan relentless or is there just a miscommunication with him and his reps. I thought your last post over there was hilarious! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> erm ive been dealing since october of last year. Nah tuans a really cool guy. he gave me a great deal on some equipment last year. i think its just a miscommunication....i have no idea where he got that from. dunno.

uh oh.. who was the person you sent it to?

lol he confuses me more than anyone else ive talked to haha. also its CES time
