its going on the 2 SE's eh? should be nice

My dad goes about once a year and w/e mileage it gets to it gets to.

and now that i think of it, the $100+ i was going to use to get Nick's Entasi can now go to TB's....Maybe even my GF's B-Day present. she is getting a new car soon. 4 6's should be enough for her and she'll keep her trunk space.

Yes, how cheap are we talking? depending, i could go for as many as 6-8 myself. 8 TB 6's + Wicked One = Funer than AW 10's

my Ava 18 i didnt get to attend ANY shows in 2005.

Price mistake...for that price...wow...i should have picked some up. they still probably didnt loose any money though...probably just about broke even.

ya, older modles arent as good but they still wang. from what ive read its just a new back plate and a new spider. i was planing on forward firing ports but the elbows are jsut too damn big with 3" and im already pushing it with port area and my tuning. WinISD says im pushing 80ft/sec around tuning with 500w. i only have around 14sqin of port area...when i should have more like 22 (12 for ever 1 rule of thumb, though that is for slot ports, its a good idea for around 10 for every one with high excurstion drivers excluding ports that are extrmely flared like areoports) anyway. Id i feel like im loosing loudness or an getting cancelation from the ports im going to tear htem out (fun, they are epoxied in), glass the hole shut, and use 21/2 forward firing only im going to have to sand the elbows paper thin and reenforce them a little on the inside to get the speakers to drop in. oh well. should still be louder than sealed, though if we had gone sealed we could have done 8 and 1200w in the room we had. should still wang hard

my room is ungodly dirty

here it is, ready to go minus cosmetics. gonan finsih bondoing tonight maybe and then sanding Monday night, paint tuesday and installed wednesday. i cant wait to hear this. its been my baby for the past 3 weeks or so...20 min here or there.

Kool Kool... Here is the box (you saw a pic of the beginings before i think) still nto finsihed. just got the PVC for the ports and Bondo to finish it off today. as soon as i finish this post im going to put hte ports in and screw the baffle on. And here is a comparison to a cheapo 8... i dont even reemmber what brand, it came out of a bass tube, the bass tube and al lwas like $60. of ocurse the amp was pure garbage. anyway...i tas silver, i painted it black and put a ghetto brahma dust cap on it. and here is the wickedest scrap box you'll evah see evah...prototype for what a more SPL friendly version will be w/ 2 187 12's or other entry SPL driver. basically i figure if i can get this to get over 140 on the AC with my 2 Audiobahn 10's im trying to sell its worth it modified for SPL as i am doing the enclsoure text book....so its really designed for like extention down to 20Hz flat to like 5,000Hz if you flip the baffle....but ya

Sweet...i like the new one better...just because its faster. lmao what's with red and BMW's? When i see red and i think car its either Older M5 or any ferrari.

just changed the oil today, hadnt been changed in over 7 months and 8,000 miles. Was black as night. I went ahead and spring for Mobil 1 Full Synthetic. Its amazing what good, freash fluids can do too. Truck is running even smoother and feel like it has a few more ponies. Maybe im actually sitting at around 150bhp now...lol. The list of 2 do's: Coolant Transmission Fluid Differential Fluid Vacume Tubes Spark Plugs Wires Coil Pack Next Perfomance upgrade will either be a custom intake of TB spacer.

BTW, do yo ucompeate DB drag or onla IASCA events? i may make it to spring break nationals. I want to attend the 1x 2x event in The Orlando/Gainsville/Ocala area but my parents have me preoccupied then too. DAMN IT!

I wanna come, and i want to bring my GF too...but god dammnit my paretns are dragging me to GA to freez my arse off. My new years resolution: Attends a freaking IASCA meet kickin' is at so i can finally heat 150+ on the AC Well anyway...hopefully ill be hearing another 145+ on the AC soon. iddy biddy eh? 2 more installs and im ordering a pair of 187 12's . i might save up more and get a pair of LI 10's or 12's...or i might end up blwoing it on Amanda...w/e...damn chicks steal your money and you dont even know it.

thanks, its exactly what i was looking for, low rumble on idle and more throaty up higher. but as long as it wasnt monotone like all the DOHC V6's in cars i would have been happy. PICS! What it replaced. 1 3/4" tubing, crunch bends, crappy muffler.

ITS YO B-DAY!.

Come summer/next fall id like to hit a few competitions and then head to daytona even next spring break. Because ill be finished with online classes and im officially done with soccer. the onlything preoccupieing my time will be work and cross country. As for ocmpeating, im doing competition on a budget. Id like to run my BX1205D it even less for power and run maybe a pair of 12's. Im thinking a pair of 187 12's in a 4th order bandpass. Ive always wanted to build "The Wicked One" to see how it performed. The 187's seem like a good canidate. Reletively high efficency, good Xmax, and reletively low inductance. For Competition i would build one with a wider throat for higher tuning. There are claims of 141dB@36Hz with 2 cheap 10's on TL in a car. With Better speakers, more power, and higher tuning i dont see a problem with doing mid-high 140's on TL...and as long as i stay out of Kickin's Class i should be good for small comps. If i dont get the numbers i want i may move to a well designed 6th order bandpass. What is your all's take on this? id geuss id be compeating AS2.

Pair of SX 12's? hop to it and order before the 1st.

2 AW 10's?

if your worried about your tweeters not reaching 1-1.5kHz get a pair of horns. You can find a good set of horns for less than $180 that'll go as low as 800Hz...and horns are way more natural than tweeters. thought ive never heard a car set up with horns they pwn in HT. and id imagine it would be the same for car. there was a guy on AF.com that had a pair and loved them, put one right under the dash on each side. Can ribbon tweets go that low? i cant imagine many 0.75 and 1" dome tweeters, metal or textile, going as low as 1kHz cleanly. Or sell them and wait for Chad to bring out asendants 6.5s? REAL PHASE PLUGS PWN MY RE's... sorry about my post, im not 100% straight right now...an exam and schools out for 3 weeks

i love the fog lights in my truck. when i got the truck they came with stock bulbs (the amber ones) so i went and got a cheap pair og General Electric Xenon bulbs...it made huge difference. When we do get for hereits never very thick, but even when driving on a real dark night they add the extra bit of light when your low beams are on (passing cars, since they are stock it is wired into the harness to turn them off when the high beams are on...since you dont drive in the fog with your high beams on anyway). DONT get them at walmart. w/e you do. We got a cheapo pair for my moms truck at walmart...they worked (if you call it that) for a week and then continued to blow the fuse after more than 2min of operation. their light pattern was horible no mater how you aimed them and the color was realyl weird, mostly becasue they had cheap yellow bulbs being filtered by what looked like a polarized lense. We then picked up a cheap $20 pair from the Harbo Freight store in Orlando...had similar results as the above. A friend of mine picked up a pair from one of the local performance shops for like $60. Blue lenses and white bulbs not only looked good but i like his light pattern more than my trucks stock light pattern (i cant aim mine because they are fixed in the bumper. Ive also known people to get cheap fog lights and have condensation build up inside the lense during the summer or if they drove through a deep puddle. Rocks shouldnt smas ha good pair as the lenses should be made of a good, strong plastic.

144 aint bad. TL i assume. Louder than me...how low is another issue the 27Hz tuning is killing me But Anyway, nice install.

Pics of Dog & Sub togather are required RIP Peppermint. For a 1st box 'taint half bad.

i deff wouldnt pay 180 for an atlas 15 right now with RE's group buy going on an SE15's going for 167... just a heads up.
