    Enclosure Pricing

    well it sounds like your off to a good start already. Added protection is always a plus.

    Enclosure Pricing

    Personally I would but I cant speak for others. Maybe you should leave that as a shipping option left up to the consumer and on certain enclosures (ranging from 5 cubic feet or bigger, just an example) make it a standard charge. I just recently received an enclosure from California and it had those priority mail boxes (opened up) inside the shipping box as its protection, nothing major. Not saying that is the route you wanna go just an example.

    Im thinking a speaker box, ported more than likely but I could be wrong. :

    No need for 4 midbass speakers, hopefully you have some tweeters to go along with those mids as well. Pics of equipment

    SP4 Quad Box question

    It has nothing to do with being a pro at all, it has to do with following the forum rules when making a thread needing assistance which nobody cares to enact. Its simple really, give us all the information we need to know to get answers you need. Not one line sentences where it shows you want us to do all the work for you. Do research and go as far as you can, then if help is needed then we are here. People make it harder then it is because they are lazy and just want an answer, that's it (regardless if it is right or wrong). Everybody on this board is here to help, no question about it. If your having trouble finding help maybe you should reevaluate your position or how your going about getting help.

    Enclosure Pricing

    Yeah no offense but I don't see the point of offering enclosure services if your not gonna ship them, as most of the members here are not located in Oklahoma. Your enclosure are too nice to not have them floating across the nation.

    SP4 Quad Box question

    There is no reason to explain why we gave him the answers we did, I don't mind helping at all but I don't help people who don't even try to help themselves. But to say here are my dimensions can I fit another SP4 to the three I have now. You mean to tell me you want to spend this amount of money and you don't want to be sure yourself. Nobody said you had to design and build your own box, but at least figure out how much gross volume you have on your own to start with by using simple mathematics.

    Hoes what it needs to do. If it fits your power requirements, install and budget requirements as well then go for it. Did you finally get the wire you wanted?

    SP4 Quad Box question

    wow, you cant calculate those dimensions yourself and see if you have enough room. Let alone plug them into a box enclosure calculator.
  11. Not saying you wont get good midbass from those drivers even if you deaden, they aren't meant for that. These drivers have a higher sensitivity and are made to mate up with horns. The CTX mids is Image Dynamics heavy duty midbass driver, just my understanding from my days on the ID forum when it was still up and running.

    crescendo s550.2

    Probably because they are running off of head unit power One good set on an amplifier will be good enough. Make sure you deaden those doors, great performance will come from a great install.

    XCON Leads?

    Might of been made before they started that process or after they stopped sandwiching them. More info besides why is my xcon leads not sandwhiched, like what year you bought it or something along those lines to give you a better answer as to why there not sandwiched.
  16. Who would of known that a 10k amp would be power hungry If im not mistaken those amp are rated at 16volts, so it my do less power at 12volts. If any amp does the rated power you want at the price your willing to spend then yes it is a good deal.

    hifonics amps

    A certain amp is not required to break in a subwoofer, playing it normally over time will help it loosen up the suspension. As far as thinking you need rated power to get your subs moving, that's incorrect as there is no such thing in underpowering a subwoofer. Just save up and get the amp you want now, it will save you more in the long run. Instead of rushing to have a completed system, slow down and do it right the first time. If that is all you want to spend on an amp period the go quality over quantity. Try to find a good brand amp at your budget level instead of more power lesser quality, you may have to buy used.

    Nice stash you have there, not going big on the front stage this time?

      If its a car you don't care about or plan on selling then yes. Would I rather use beauty panels made with wood or other materials most definitely. My mission was price, and speedy results. My seats don't fold done and through the ski hole pass looking in its not noticeable to the naked eye.

      It made a big difference, I will tell you that. I never completely sealed off before so I wasn't sold on forward firing. Now I am, just my .02

  20. I always liked their amps, something about them (simple yet clean). Haha we have the same last name.

    need help designing a box

    Try downloading the Torres calculator, I use this program with great results. It will help you out more because this way you can play around with the dimensions to get an enclosure to your liking then just giving somebody set dimensions and one outcome.
  23. why does this site and internet explorer have so many issues. Dont wanna download any other browsers just for one site, I guess it is what it is.

      The time is messed up for me no matter what browser I'm using. Guessing that's a site issue ATM. Dunno about the quoting though.
