    I really needed that NE def touchdown. Put me within 5pt with Lendale still to go, although last week he didn't even get 5.

    Could do a few subs as well, although that isn't nearly as exciting to me.

    Welcome to the IHoP

    If you wait until the power tour this summer it will be one of the drivers that we listen to as a group. Will be the SSA 7" listen off: Usher 8945P Seas Excel W18 Seas CA18 Seas Nextel W18NX Scan Speak Revelator Dayton RS180 And anything else that anyone else brings. If no one has one, I will buy a Peerless Exclusive as well. At the moment my plan would be to do them all IB as I have a room that I plan on putting a "window" in to the next room. If it isn't finished in time, I might have to make an enclosure with a removable baffle but we shall see.

    All the same and I like the idea of the Usher. Buy one and try it out, PE will take it back if you don't like it.

    Server Assistant 13 top, all baby boomers from the looks of it, they were pretty sloshed when I clocked out too, funny as hell That is only 70 each...it barely buys appetizers someplaces.
  9. I love the fact that he is only connecting one of two wires.

    Building my first ported box

    Most definitely, I was never trying to make you lock on a Fi. Unitl this past week I hadn't heard the ICON but had the opportunity while in Phoenix and was impressed.

    How big was the table? I have seen a bunch of bills over a G.

    Building my first ported box

    The other option would be to have Kent build you a box, send it to you and see if you like it. If not, I am sure you could sell his work on FSC pretty quickly. It will definitely be way better than any pre-fab crap.

    Getting Some Subs

    Need a budget and such; however, save your money on those JL's and put them towards something else it will make you happier.

    holy shit batman !!! that is crazy! you can defintely tell where it's going to rattle, lol. that peak is the crazy. and you have some serious tools/toys. hanging out here with you guys is really making me feel dumb. times like this, i feel like i belong at the chithole. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Kent, you belong here not the chithole believe me I like you which I surely can't say about the fools over there. As for the peak, it is a bit exaggerated...but it does show exactly how the roof will bend when exposed to 51hz. When we do the box comparison we will see similar things in the mdf, although the motion will be less than the driver the surface area of the box is larger which is basically more Sd which of course needs less motion. It will surely paint a picture for us.

    What is best for an overall loud SQ setup

    Nonetheless all of the options are too much unless you really, really go nuts with the front stage.

    Any new 2008 cars your excited about??

    I like how you have to use an exception. The GT smokes the Vette in every regard.

    SSD vs. Icon

    Choosing between the two is a no brainer to me, the ICON isn't their entry level offering and the SSD is. Not that an entry level Fi is something to look down upon, but personally I'd definitely rather have the ICON.

    Building my first ported box

    You remember when I wouldn't answer my thoughts, as stated when Brandon originally started asking about things he was asking for SQ but in hearing his desires I really think that somewhere (no surprise to me) that the definition of SQ was again completely screwed. In the process someone convinced him to buy two DIYMA's which won't do what he wants at all. As I said earlier, your style of box Kent is probably more than adequate for what he is looking for but as you know for me it isn't. No big deal, most people don't have to like what I do but accuracy is extremely critical to me. Do realize I am the extreme (more than 25 years of private music lessons might do that to ya ) but again exactly why I *refrained* from posting before. Hell look at my boxes, 22sqin of port on an 8 and yes I can still hear it chuff and it annoys me, it is also tuned below 30hz but still too peaky for my liking. All the more reasons why I am encouraging beyond my goals for Brandon's system although I would still recommend making more "complicated" than your typical install. Of course considering how quick you could whack that box out perhaps it would be an ideal start to see if it was okay. A bit of glue and a sheet of mdf isn't all that much of an investment. And just so you know Brandon, Kent's ability to create boxes and switch things around is significantly faster than mine and more experienced in the realm of construction. As he stated he has done this for a living while for me it is just an insane hobby.

    mounting depth?

    I am sure it will do more than that in an optimized enclosure broke in. Mark's truck is really loud, albeit 15's those drivers can really put out.
