why was i told that the 4 gauge wire that i am using for my sub is not only overkill but bad for it due to too much resistance? I have not heard of this theory before, is there something that would support this train of thought? thanks chop

enjoy! * thanks mike* chop IAK embedded.

telling you what, for two and half months old, he is killing the competition, lol. he can't wait till thanksgiving, going to try his great-grandma's gravy = FTW! Alex said "what's up wit ya" bigrank916, lmao chop

Thanks, i truly enjoyed being down there, you fellas definetly got your shit together. I will try to get the Dakota down there soon, we have some rides that are alot better than mine, hope to bring them down as well. how did the Audiopipe and AQ like each other? sorry I had to bounce, it was a tight schedule. If I even had a clue of what this met was going to reflect, i would of left the entire day open. Will you be attending Carl Casper? I have the plans of flipping the sub back to inverted and extending my port externally, ( thanks for the suggestion, Ben), I tried the poly fill at .50lb per cube and was not impressed. it lowered the tunning some, but the output suffered greatly. If this goes well, I will design the next box accordingly. Also thinking of letting Shizzzon do his magic with it. for those of you who say you like the lows, let Shizzzon show you 24hz.! this man is sick with it. the entire interior of the car was going to shit, and no i do not mean flexing alot, i mean it was going to shit, like a complete ass kicking on it...... the air coming from the port was like air conditioning, perhaps like sticking your head out the window on a 40 degree day doing 30 mph. ........... and also, if you have heard the expression of it was hard to breath, bull shit, you will not breath, it is not a choice, just grin and hope like hell the sick bastard will turn his shit down before you pass out, how the hell does he stand that? sorry i got off topic there, i have told eveyone of my trip, mom, grandma, the pastor...... everyone! can't say enough. thanks for the show fellas, chop

what year is the Olds, Alero? O/T, pics, for rattlebox317. thanks chop

nice.

a little info along the same line of things, it helped me out.

Thanks for the input fellas. Ol' chop had 4 gauge laying around and had given all the 8 gauge away for other installs, use what you got, as long as it is correct for the application, you know? I was on this side of things, however it is always better to learn the absolute answer when possible. thanks for the link, that helps me alot. chop

scared of saying a definent "ya" from the scientifical side of it, however, i have used them lot's of times with no issues. price per foot, sounds like a win. curious, what power wil you be giving them? chop

I think that i might be finding a little extra cash in Janurary, if so, i will be going through the truck and adding the missing equipment and upgrading some of the weaker links, all will be with a severly tight budget. I continue to get complaments on it, yet i am no where near leaving it alone, so many improvements that could be made still. i almost pissed myself when mdizzle brought the jimmy over. he has the 12" nightshade in there with a saz-3000d behind it. that is crazy, and he can just beat away on it, no issues, wow! chicagofan was by to give a demo of his new box, it is loud as hell too, 600w subs doing that is impressive also. ( 2 X IA LI 15"s w/ a saz-1500d ) we will be getting a demo from shizzzon on saturday. FTW IAK meet this Sunday, breakfast and then a little demo, will be adding a couple new guys and will have a video camera there, stay tuned for that also. looking at them mids... keep me updated. oh, i came across another item to mail you as well. so your patiance is paying off, lol. chop

just looked at the map again, too bad there is not a bridge close to the casino boat, you are planning on meeting practicaly across the river from where we will be staying. hey i tell you what, park on the bank and i will just stand out side on the boat, i will get the demo right there, lol.

oh, i seen that there is a electronic design and research buisness real close to where you said we were to meet up at, is this just irony, or is there more to the story?

leaving around noon today, just me and the ol' lady, no one else can make it. FTL. will get up , eat some breakfast, get checked out and we will be open to a meet up after that.... perhaps noon or so. we will plan on heading back north by three or so, not much later, gotta get home or they will tear it down, lol. would you be wanting to grab some grub first, then a little demo session, or whatever, just let me know. i got your number and have access to my pm's here as well. i will be bringing steves 2000 alero, there is a pic of it in the show off thread, under chicagofans new box. not enough extra funds to get the Dakota legal just yet. sorry. trust me, wish i could bring it. All of IAK is wishing they were coming, so you gotta bring that video camera with you, lol.

your ol' pal mikey just redone the whole front end of his jimmy.... you might have him give it a look. chop

lol, i have no z15's to send..... if i did have a few, i would definetly send you ....... my 15" WMD2r , lol........ sorry, i like those sundown subs quite a bit, never heard a bad thing on them, they are FTW! thanks again for the help.

okay, i swear it ain't my fault, well i don't think it is anyway. i was attemting to hand Alex his bottle and bumped the key board or the mouse noy sure, but the dam screen is all super small now. not like it is reduced, it still takes up all 22 inches , it is like i zoomed out on mapquest or something, i can't hardly see you guys. lol. the tab was highlighted in a green color instead of the normal blue aol tab color. i know i hit some stuff, so okay, it is my fault, but i canot undo it... ftl, it had some thing to do with the center button on the mouse that is used for scrolling. once i seen it was goofed up i pressed reload but it did not change, just the grren tab went back to blue. help me out here fellas, before the wife get's home! thanks chop

i too have heard of the chicken wire, it seems as if this is one of those times where it is two definitive groups, yeah and nays, both are sure of what they are suggesting. i am being cautious and doing some reading on it. the broke ass side of me wants to give it a shot, ( the poly-fill ), and let that just be enough, but i also really enjoyed building the box, so another one would be cool too. it would be even better, " I swear to god man" < in a Donnie Baker voice. i will get some better vids up soon. i got a friend who does these things now! yeah you can get a little carried away with a test tone cd and 30 people looking at your ride saying it is some sick shit and all, i am guilty of giving the ol' volume knob a little extra torque. so she warmed up a little, sorta like blushing from the attention perhaps. lots of stuff gets to moving on the lower notes, and the low 40hz. range is impressive, gotta find a song that is in that range for a while. hey look in off topic and you can see that burn out a little longer, not very visible at all, but you can see some of the smoke and hear a little of it. he missed the begining of it. you cannot compare your set-up to mine though, there is a reason you cannot hear the vocals.....your 18" ftw.

you my friend are a hero, thank you very much!

well i thought i would have my head shoved up my trucks ass all day , but as it turns out, i am hanging with Alex all day. way more fun. the lows: i have attempted to describe what i feel like is missing. i will try to get a battery in there , then put the dmm to work. from there i will get it micced. this will take two weeks. money issue. i will attemt to report back with any and all info that i can. small vid of it in my sig. i will have more, later. i am trying to read up on the following; * setting the amp properly * the use of poly-fill * and basically, a better understanding of the volume and tunning of an enclosure , as in how it can benifit my install, like output and solid lows. any links, or input of your own experiance is appreciated, meantime i will be burning up the search button. thanks chop

this one shows a bit more of the burn out, nick's 18 btl w/ 3000d .

good enough..... i rather your help, over this topic. over and out, chop

Like the title says, just curious as to who all has been put down or has friends who are not on here directly do to this guys unprofessional manner of doing things? look into the ihop for a history of what sparked this question. I have personally talked with many folks who have been distastefully approached by him. I know several will bite their tongues on this one, just pm. me, i too am afraid of being booted off and missing out on something as great as this forum. i am just really upset so it is a little easier to say " the hell with it" and post it up any way, I know he would not hold back, that is for dam sure. I mean it is simple enough to address folks with some respect, even if they are a new guy on here or need a little guidance. is it necassary? chop

i am lost buddy..... i feel like it is a trick, are you guys going to laugh at me when i can't find the box?
