    JL AUDIO W-6's (12's)

    Even if the box was designed for W6's, the number of people that would have designed it correctly are minimal. You could really damage your subs and have an oustandingly crappy fart box if it isn't right. However, on the 0.000001% chance that the box arbitrarily is right or was designed correctly it could sound great over a very limited number of frequencies.

    Nov. Momentum is out

    I didn't like the first gen either. Little concerned with the new "quality control' that Mercedes acquired along with the rest of Chrysler. Now the AMG that is another story. Yummy! Ride and drives are a blast, did you get to "have your way with the truck and see what it would really do?"

    Denim, it was more FYI than anything else. Definetely get out and get a house, it is the best thing you can do. A buddy of mine bought two row houses in Balt 4 years ago. Paid $130k for the pair (right in between Camden & Ravens stad) and they are each worth over $300k now. Crazy what happens! Good luck. Hope you find the right one.

    My RL-P box

    Just had a thought that made me laugh after looking at Flakko's box building craftmanship. He put a nice how-to on fiberglassing kick pods. After reading his post, I decided that I could build a fiberglass box for my sub even though I had never done it before. I am just not quite sure how the two projects relate though. Your kick project worked out really nice, but.... Anyway, props to you for posting the projects as you personally motivated me to glass in my car! If Supa gives you any chit about building you a baffle I would be glad to send you one...

    Shut up, hoser eh.
  10. Only had a little time this morning, but made some headway. I have to stop and think a bit now as the footrest portion of the kick is partially in the way. Being that I am 6'6" I had thought I was going to lower the footrest anyway, but will ponder today and do something about it tomorrow. Here are the kicks with "clearance" holes cut. I wanted to make sure that the location that I chose to put them in can clear the basket. Lots of room though so it is no problem! When I lower the footrest tomorrow I am actually going to sink the baffles into the kick a little deeper to gain a little more foot space. I love manual transmissions, but not for putting in kicks. Here are pics of the kicks in their current state today:
  11. Reza, you are going to have to wait and see on your crossover question-- I will either go active or custom build myself some passives. Oh, and I bought the drivers from Nguyen.

    My RL-P box

    Oh chit, it took me like 10 minutes to read the post to here since I am laughing so hard. This is indeed the funniest pc evAR! My stomache hurts. Please, please come to my house I will gladly make you one for free, a double even just bring that board over so I can really take a look at it even though I am not sure my stomache can take it.

    US Amps built where?

    If you build in quantity you source parts from where you get the right parts (read best within reason) for the dollar. Quite frankly it is not surprising that it is Korea or another East Asian country as labor is cheap and frequently much more detail oriented than American. Usually they are assembled here because the one thing that a lot of Asian manufacturing services lack is German like quality control, thus when you hand assemble here you get to check over the parts and use the ones you want. Sourcing a capacitor or PCB or something from an outsourced manufacturer just makes sense, building it all in house doesn't. I am glad that they do enough here to mark it Made in the USA though as it makes me more likely to buy it and feel better about the quality as I am more aware of the final build quality.

    Oh, and I spent a fair amount of time in Winnipeg in high school as it was close and you could drink and chase women at the same time.

    Oh yeah. Everyone's invited. Cover charge is one female per male entering my property. I'm not a fan of frat boy sausage fests. But I thought you were Canadian? I have always heard that Canadians like sausage fests.
