Save yourself the trouble. You arent a Q man.

They can be musical as well. Again enclosure. Well mine must have been a fart box because there wasnt squat for lows. The box must have been designed by a shop next to the guy I bought it from. Ive seen others that were far from my experience though. Still have the 12" L7 in the garage! To the OP, it sounds like you are a BL or BTL person. Have you seen the SSA drivers?

They have a lot of excellent drivers but it really matters more on what you are looking for. Im guessing louder. X2 with M5. What is wrong with it? Those can get loud in the right enclosure. Just isnt too musical from what I remember.

Your best bet is to call the company ask them over the phone. There is a lot people that wont list all the alts they have. Try DC Power, Mechman, and Iraggi to name a few.

I bought one last summer and it shipped in a timely manner. Just give Matt a call and ask him whe you should expect it.

I agree with the first part but the second...eeeeerrrrrrrrt! Make that ANY leprechaun movie!

Welcome dude.

ROTFL!

What about the warden? Just not in the same price range.

Welcome dude.

Chop, I feel you man. Its a viscous circle that you get put into. I tell perspective employers that the pay rate doesnt have much to do with it. Unless like you said, it isnt worth it. Most of the time they dont care though. Hire the rookie for less pay. :suicide-santa:Good luck dude and stay up.

You should be around one when one explodes, gets your adrenaline flowin pretty good. In one of my electronics class the group behind us was having a problem getting their lab circuit to work. The teacher went back there started to look at the circuit and noticed they had one of the electrolytic capacitors in backwards, as soon as he said that a loud bang and he went rushing out of the room. He came back maybe 10 minutes later with a huge welt on his top lip where the cap hit him. LOL! Ouch Dude.

The port end correction factor increases the effective length of the port. Therefore, for a given tuning frequency you would need to decrease the physical length of the port by the end correction factor so that the effective length was correct for the tuning frequency. The JL Audio link in my prior post explains the proper way to calculate port length when using multiple ports. I don't have time right now to mess around with that calculator to be able to tell you how to interpret the information it's giving you. Thank you very much impious. I knew the answer was right in front of my face but I was just jumbled in the brain thinking about it so much. It looks bad, I know.

So Im designing a new enclosure and have come across a speed bump. Using the12volt slot port length calculator with these numbers: 24, 4, 6.13, 32= 33.13in Using carstereo.com port length calculator with the same numbers for a square slot port= 21.13in But when you change the option of slot port from yes to no, the new calculation is exactly 33.13in Why do they not match for the same thing? Shouldnt a square vent be shorter than a slot port? Did carstereo.com just flip flop them or something? Am I taking crazy pills or what?

Each port should be that length. Thank you sir.

Soooo, how was the show? Any pics?

Was this V1 or V2? I hope the first. Sucks man.

bumpity bump

Weird how? I really like the MECA format because it really makes the competition fair. Basically you only have to compete against people with similar setups. The rule book was rather large...Seems to be different restrictions too. Not saying its bad or anything. Im sure it isnt much different though.

Here is a pic of the Hertz that I will put in the metro. They should sound decent in there. Just not in those enclosures. Eeeek!

If Im using the AJcalc for port length and have multiple ports, do I divide the port length between them? Or is each port to be that length? Im trying to work the formula on my own but the numbers dont seem right. Sure that Im doing it wrong though. Feel like quoting Namath cause Im ssttrruugggglliinngg.

As bromo said, the issue is with the difference between physical port length and effective port length. On the carstereo.com calculator when you mark slot port "yes" the calculator reduces the length of the port by 1/2 of the port width to account for port end correction. If you notice the difference between the two calculators is 12", which is half of 24", which you apparently entered as the port width on the carstereo.com site. The 12volt site does not account for port end correction. For more on port end correction factor, see here: JL Audio - Car Audio Systems Without knowing details on the layout of the port in the enclosure, I can't tell you which is accurate. If you are using an enclosure wall as the sidewall of the port, you will need to account for end correction. It would seem odd to have a port that's only 4" tall & 24" wide unless it's horizontal across the bottom of the enclosure. If the port is vertical in the enclosure I would assume the 4" is the width and 24" is the height? Either way, you would only need to subtract 2" from the port length for end correction factor as opposed to the 12" initially calculated (i.e. on the carstereo.com site, put 4" for the width and 24" for the height and mark slot port "yes" if you are using the enclosure wall as a a sidewall for the port). Thank you for explaining this to me. I understand now, after you had to lead me by the hand. One thing though. You say to subtract for end correction. I thought you are supposed to add it?

If The Big Lebowski isnt the greatest movie ever than...

Where the hell you fools at? Rep!

Im sorry but this is confusing. Maybe Ive been thinking about this for too long and not seeing something in the right light. Uuggghhh...
