    Welcome to the IHoP

    Not alot of woofers are designed for IB use Its not user friendly, easy to overpower You have to seal your trunk up, not an easy task Not all cars have fold down seats Need more reasons ? You left out the most important, which is that most people suck.

    Indeeeeeeed. My god, last week was rush week for the sororities, I swear driving by my head was on a swivel. College chicks + Hot weather = Nice Eye Candy. Don't drive, walk. It is hard to strike up a conversation with pedestrians when you are driving. Unless of course you have a Ferrari.

    You aren't going to bother me with that, especially not you and not in the way you asked. What drives me nuts are when people use that as a descriptor when they really just want SPL. The whole SQL crowds comments make me puke. They really just want output and don't really care but they hear about the word SQ and put it in to try and sound educated. SQ by definition would not have ground pounding bass unless of course you have one hell of a midbass setup. The whole one hell of a midbass setup makes me drool. So no worries

    I came so close in the M, really wanted to but just didn't have the heart to muck up the inside of that car. The truck I couldn't . My next project will be guaranteed.

    Which coil wiring setup should I use?

    Unless you have some really imbalanced coils and you really shouldn't.

    It will do you fine, looking forward to your build.

    Thoughts on a dashboard material...

    How about cheapening up and going with ultrasuede?

    They use a different door skin if you don't have power? *realizes that yours is probably OBS...

    Ported design for two RL-i8's

    Your box will be teeny then as well. I do think it is your best route. Scott thanks for clarifying, I should have given more detail but thought that fuzzy knew the alignment differences and was just going to do something extreme with tuning which in particular on those small boxes is really tough

    Going to blow off work in about an hour Too rainy, windy, crappy to go fishing so the alternative is beer

    Wow. I have more port area for a single 8 than you do for a pair and would encourage more.

    Plate amps

    I am sure it will do what it says it should. Personally haven't used one. These were on sale for near $100 a while ago, http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/showdetl.cf...tnumber=300-750 , and I know a lot of people used them with good results. Potentially finding one of those used should be fairly easy. At 8ohms it should have at least as much power as the Dayton.

    I see what you did there.. I wouldn't have thought the clip was funny at all if it weren't for the reference. ;D First!! FUCK!!! ??

    Downfiring a 12" Atlas

    Most likely both SQ & SPL, but if it makes the vehicle more usable I wouldn't hesitate. Just make sure to give the cone a lot of clearance. A decent eq can really help if there are issues as well.

    Gonna lose SQ?

    Pretty hard to upgrade over those 12w6's. If you want more output it surely can be done, but get ready to have a bigger enclosure. The real question now is how much space can you give up and what will your budget be. And yes, the Mach5's are a step down from the w6 but you can say that about most subs. The w6 IMO is by far JL's best sub and might be the best mainstream sub you can buy in my book.

    Yo...

    Lee! Good place here.

    Ported design for two RL-i8's

    Huh, deeper than sealed? How low are you planning on tuning? Also, a bit of warning a pair in a ported box will take up about as much space as a single 15 ported. Super long ports. I gave up on getting mine below 29hz since my port was already in the realm of 100" long.

    Havoc preferences...

    With a 10cuft enclosure I might be more worried about fitting it in the Tahoe cosmetically than direction of firing, even though I am sure the SPL crowd will hop up and say rear firing...
