do you even understand how calculating box works , post stuff like this when you understand what you're doing !

if space is not an issue then I'd opt. for the third Havoc

this one had me scratching my head in confusion before the build even started it was over........ LOL

you could try to look out for a second hand termlab ...they don't come around very often and not planning ever getting rid of mine but worth a shot . the russian system DOES resemble the termlab BTW .

got the 3inchers in ! woohoo they look really good IRL , a shame my camera isnt all that .

Hi all , so I've been looking around for component sets , My goals are , more than decent sounding , and get reasonably loud for those moments I want to sing along and not wanting being able to hear myself (cause my singing isnt all that) . want my EQ'ing to as straight forward as possible so a 2-way will be for me , no intention entering comps but I've got high standards for my own . kicks will find their place high in in the doors and the tweets in a-pillar pods , highs freferably on-axis or close to it . amplification will be a good 200watts @4ohms per kickdriver and 90watts per tweeter by 2 seperate amps as for sound I'm looking for what everyone wants , smooth laid-back highs/highmid and tight,clear energetic lowmid/kick I've been looking at the seas/lotus reference line , dynaudio esotec and the CDT eurosport 620 ,but I can't seem to find shops where I could listen to eighter of those I'm open to all suggestios and hybrid combinations , looking to buy second hand or budget up to 600 USdollar thoughts and suggestions are welcome thanx .

that's 2times a yes . if you look around here some you will find quality products that will achieve the same or better for less , just saying port volume is seperate from box volume ,

closed box for a 10 , you're really pushing the limits now ! looks clean , must have been quite the challange

Hi

more depth. I just never heard a aero port set up I liked. Also you do such awsome work with your slots,wanted my box to have it. But if we can get it to fit then I may have to change my set up idea. No matter the final design your getting my buisness.Thnx oh hell , you probably heared prefab enclosures , you are asking to get a custom build box , it will be far better than what you're used to , not that I know Andrew from argent audio , in fact I live on the other end of the world but I doubt He'd offer to build boxes if he were not capable of doing so . an aeroport does exactly the same as a wellbuild slotted port , infact you need to put in quite some work to get a slotted port to be as good as an aeroport .

Are you sure you can highpass the tweeter channels so low on the P88 ? From what I could find it only goes down to 1250hz. amp for fullranges connected to the mid's channel and setting the LPF on pass ...not using te tweeter channels .

oh ... those rings , I dont make those , a friend of mine is in charge of those , where he works he has these computer/CAD controlled table things I don't know the english word for ,that cut those .

the wool is there to provide some boundary , it slows down air , lets the speaker act as if it were in an enclosure of a certain size and it makes the waves that reach though what ever path they traveled into your cabin being later and softer I think what you meant was a variovent or aperiodic membrane, that is probably what I will have to use in my build because I cant build in my dash , so therefore I need to open up the back of my pods and sandwich wool between two grilles creating an variovent . but I'd rather not so gonna try my 3inchers in .7 litres sealed entirely filled with a lot of wool ...but I expect it not work to be honest .

Hey ! what do you think about this : aside from the fact that this is for a mid and held by a stainless-steel ring not shown in the picture (or anywhere else) and they are not tilted up that much because the windshield is used to reflect the sound wich wont do for your setup . the idea : a very strong pod wich breathes into the inner space of the dash . what is needed to do : the dash needs to be deadened and cladded in foam ,we did the whole back of the dash and foamed the heating/aico air-channels as well . we also used masking tape as suggested to protect the dash , on and around the speakerholes in the dash . I made some mdf rings for the baffle and breathing hole (so it looks clean on the inside ) put "v shaped head" bolts in the holes of the orinal speaker mouning holes .and let them stick out a bit . then we put an 1 inch layer of fiber filled putty on around the speaker holes , let that harden for a while . the mdf rings where aligned the way we wanted (on axis in your case) and fixed to the fiberfilled putty with ..... fiberfilled putty ... let that harden . take the contraption out and fill up everything you missed again with the fiber filled stuff then roughly give (sand/fill) it the shape you want with more fiber filled putty . further shaping is done with soft putty . shizzle the mdf out carefully in layers ..and glue a new mdf baffle in , this time with speakerhole .... sand some more . now it is ready for painting / carpetting when mounted : behind the speakers you can experiment tune the fullrange speakers with wool . there things are rocksolid a weigh a heap ... exactly what you need ! cheers !

*update* turns out the TB 1401's were in backorder a whole heap , so I started looking for something else , came across the Peerless 830987 3inch fullrange speakers , it offeres the powerhandling I was looking for and personally I think they look good and the T/S look hopefull (lets just hope them little rascals really are "peerless"). so I ordered those , should be in March the 5th a little link :my 3inchers

you not gonna build my suggestion ?

interested in how you're gonna put this in your car , any ideas on whre and how you wanna mount the fostexes ? gooking good though .

you be patient tattoo-man ! I only get to work one day a week on install's , often the things I build take a lot of time ... or maybe I'm just slow idk

PM'd you a box calculation I had laying around for wuite a while now , not going to use it . should do numbers .

So how do I go about this , do I email someone or are the T/S going yo be posted up any time soon on a forum or on the AA website ? want to make a backloaded horn for it so simply giving box recomendations won't work for me . thanx.

I think that if AA wanted the info out in the open they'd allready done so . so hold your guns .

you're right about the IB stuff , you just try to make your whole door as stiff as 3/4 mdf that is braced every x inches , and 100% airtight is something a door will never be eighter . so aim for as airtight and stiff as possible . plans look solid !

hey bro , working hard I see ! hate to be nag , but I got some tips for you . in the first picture , all that wood in the back or most of it should not be there , what you got now is a very small box with a really big hemholz chamber . It should be way more open , also it would be better to bolt your kick-pod directly to the door with the help of a few extra rings . and dampen the door itself inside the door and then seal the door up by sealing all the holes exept for the waterdrainage with aluminum strips(for the bigger holes) and dynamat , creating an (close to) sealed enclosure of 1 to 2 cuft , whitch will allow you to cross your mid even lower and sound good ! make the doorpanel a bit more stiff/heavy with damplifier/dynamat or bitumus against resonations hope you don't think of me as an ass now

turns out the ones I want aren't in stock ...then the waiting game began , ... posted some other stuff in a topic here: http://www.soundsolutionsaudio.com/forum/Guys-Pandas-t36748.html&p=629281&fromsearch=1#entry629281 not my own car but hey , gotta keep busy ! I'll email the guy where my 3" are !and will get back to ya
