    Port Area

    Rule of thumb. 12-16 per cuft as long as you dont exceed Sd of the driver. more power and a driver with more stroke, more port area. eaiest way to be almost certian y uhave enough. Graph in WinISD and check rear port velocity. Try to keep it under 60ft/sec and you shouldnt have any problems with port noise if you round the edges. Also, if using aero ports or ports with big flares, less port area can be used because the flare allowes for greater vlocities with out noise and less restriction to air movement.

    The water is 80*

    Beg to differ. When i lived in Orlando our pool was 10ft deep, and we had a diving board. Our school's pool is 13ft deep at its deepest point. No diving board though. Now when my Aunt and Uncle got their pool put in in plant city, 7ft was the maximum, but 6ft was the standard...No diving board, of course, but they got a slide. Armor All + Wet ass = Nice pool though, Standard like 32x20 right? or something like that.

    I would run the XXX18... RE isnt realy popular here and the SoloX 18 the local shop has...they want 1,200 for it...PFFT! i can buy my XXX and my amp for that much

    dd vs. new re

    i wasnt argueing either way. I was calculating displacement since Mrray was too lazy In an example, Ava18 only has 27mm Xmax, old XXX had 32...both with XBL..old XXX had alot higher power hanlding as well. Ava is louder watt for watt and, despite the XXX being a low end driver, the Ava is still capeable of getting louder lower. SI Mag is louder than the old XXX, alot less Xmax SX is louder than the old XXX. a wole dB in most casses even in drop in application, even less Xmax. SX is a hell of alot louder than the SE... similar Xmax. Xmax is really only the determining factor if you are going sealed/IB and you have the potential to use it to its full capeability.

    XXX 18 total displacement: 17.6l (WOW) SoloX total Displacement: 10.24l and both of thoes are incorrect because actualy SD wasnt used...however the advantage is clearly ot the XXX But, since we are porting, even down low, Xmax isnt the determining factor. it helps though.

    I Think My SQ will be improving

    Pics of the Eclipse when it gets here (thanks Mrray) but for now, my newest addition to the hat collection (i actually am a John Deere Lover) and the 1/2din EQ (thanks tirefryr) Just wondering what the two switches on the top are for.

    I Think My SQ will be improving

    the metal mounting part that slides off..razor sharp, sliced my thumb open like madd crazy... i hate SOSCHE dash kits, but it was 11 bucks so i put up with it and installed it today. The deck wiggles but i dont think even i could get the deck out now w/o completely taking apart my dash. score 1 for security. Lost my trim ring, if i cant find it ill probably go into the hell hole and offer 5bucks shipped for one. Looks kinda ugly right now. burning a new test CD right now, i left my old one in my GF's car. Had to burn a new one to set my mid/high gain since now i will be running the Ava from 70Hz down and the rest 70Hz up. Hopefully it will keep my mids from crashing into my door panels and improve SQ too in the process. Didnt install the EQ yet because i did it at work and i didnt have anything to fabricate a mounting bracket out of. what i love about installing car audio stuff, 95 degrees, like 90% humidity, im using a dirty/corroded 25w soldering iron and trying to stretch like 2" of solder for all the connections and im out there sweating my balls off soldering the new harness on smileing away... i think that qualifies me as a true audiophile.

    No Wonder Im Broke

    yeah, my truck was an invest ment too right? i paid 7k for it, its worth 6k now... and it gets 18mpg with my foot and im paying $3 for a gallon of gas, my GF lives 30mi away from my house and i only use synthedic oil which cost me $20 just for 5 quarts, not mentioning the performance oil filters i use. Yeah i paid 200 bucks for my higonics amp, i'd be luckey to get 150 for it now... investments, its all depreciating because the price of oil has gone up so the DOW is down therefore it's the economy's fault, the economy is the presidents fault...DAMN BUSH FOR GIVING ME THIS ADDICTION!!!

    RE XXX

    kinda ironic that you would be behind a 3,000 amp but not a 7-$800 sub. Also ironic because you have an adire audio symbol as your avatar....and though the tumult is no slouch, dollar for dollar not an '06 XXX

    INput about new driver

    dedicated midbass capeable of producing usable sound below 40Hz while still playing up to 4kHz...i'd like to see that

    JL Audio 10W0-4 ported enclosure

    not much information below 40Hz that you wouldcare about w/o cabbing gain comming from 2 enry level 10's.... get the most projected anecho respocne you can whilke keeping it kinda flat.

    dd vs. new re

    shwate, i tore my rotary cup i think, between wakeboarding after a 4month off season and doing reps with 135 when my arm kept telling me "no, not today you dumb fudge" i cant lift my arm past straight out with out shearing pain... so i dunno when i will even be able to get it installed, no rush... yeah and i understand. SQ is almost 90% install and 9% beer and 1% product...only 1% because you just have to have the product.

    and before someone jumps out at me, DD's can sound good, but you can stil ltell they are geared for SPL/Loudness, especially in the 3500 series up.
