nice to see the IHOP thread still going...200,000 posts later...haha!

Thank you Michael for the kind words! Thank you also for bearing with me while I got the pics and shipping together. You played a role in the smooth transaction too! MattB

I put up some old pics in my gallery section. I built the box about a year ago now. Some members might remember it. I'll have to see if I can find the exact specs, but, I seem to recall the port was 24"

mine has been doing that when I use google mail. It pops up and says firefox has experienced a problem and must close. Does it a few times a day..weird. I have notices there have been like 3 automatic updates in the past few weeks...maybe they are working something out?

I've got 2 rl-i8's w/500 each to them and they love it....I mean, if you are careful with it, 400+ does those puppies nice.

at those prices, it is still a good deal. I would not trade my rl-i8's or my rl-p12 for anything... Glad I could be a past customer, and wish I needed more so I could be a future customer..but these just won't quit!!

Well, I have removed all my car stereo stuff to make room for family in my ride...BUT, I cannot part with my RL-p 12..I just love it too much. I was wondering if box sizes/styles would be the same for use in the house? It is looking like I will be starting with around a 200w home audio amp. I know that is way under the RL-p, but I aint selling muh speaker... any ideas/opinions welcome

Looking at Partsexpress, they have a BASH500w amp for under $250. Looking at the picture, it has a left and right input. My receiver only has a single rca output for the sub. Could I use a Y adapter from the receiver to the amp, then, run each of the amps channels to each vc of the woofer? My RL-p is the D4vc.

Thanks for the input. I will do what I can on getting a higher watt amp. Thanks also for the rec. box/port sizes..I look forward to the project!

Good idea for me at least. It brought me back to the site after missing a month or better!

I am wanting to 'build' a center channel for my h/a system. I have a pair of CDT CL-5's 4ohm to use. I am thinking, wiring them to 8ohm and build a small cabinet for them. My question is on the crossover. Is there a xover kit, or a decent xover out there to buy, that I can mount inside the small cabinet, that can handle the 110w my Pioneer VSX puts out? Dont really know what my budget would be, but I surely dont wanna spend too much, or I'd just buy a speaker on ebay or something. I have looked at parts express, and see some 2-ways...I guess I could just use the high pass side of one of those? Or, could it be as simple as just getting some 'bass-blockers' for the cdt's and go with that?

Thanks for the response. I will begin yet a new search!

ah...true, forgot about that shielded deal. probably just be simple-er to buy a speaker. Thanks for the input.

If'n I post up some specs, would somebody be able to tell me a good size -sealed- box for these 10's?

I have used hot glue in the past, and it held up good on stretched vinyl. fwiw..

I used the summit brand shorties on a fullsiez chevy I had a few years ago. They fit good, and mated up to the factory Y pipe just right. We dont have smog here, so I *mis-placed* the cat.conv. when installing all new exhaust. Something to consider - larger tube headers do make a difference on low-end torque (makes it go away!). Some people may not be able to tell too much a difference, but it does effect it. I'd say cat-back first, then headers... fwiw
