    Cell Phone suggestions

    Some time this week I will have time to check out the new Huawei. Played with the last generation and really like it.

    Welcome to the IHoP v.2

    I tried texting you taunting pictures from the restaurant last night...but it failed.

    Randal's 2007 Chevy Avalanche

    Sorry for the budget. Those are off axis btw. Anything not on, is off...and those are really off. Super funny when that works.

    And the other way I relieve my self disgust is eating. Just got to Strasbourg France. Going to a Michelin star dinner to relax.

    Part of the reason I sent a big ass pile of stuff to J. Let him try it all out before sending it back

    4 8s compared to a single 15.

    I'd rather run the 15...but your space is your space. That being said, I'd determine exactly what that space is and then shop. Until you know that it is hard to really help.

    Cell Phone suggestions

    Interesting, I find CarPlay really annoying compared to Android Auto. As for recommendations, not sure yet myself but I expect to buy around Black Friday. Plan to look at LG G7, Pixel 3, OnePlus 6T, Samsung Note 9, Huawei P20 Pro. Scared of the longevity on the P20, really hate the Samsung bloat ware, which narrows that down perhaps. Pocket and hand feel weigh heavily for me.

    How shallow can an inverted Sub Enclosure depth be?

    It is not ideal, but also not that big of a deal. The acoustic resonance of the 4" space is not in the frequencies you will be playing your sub at.

    Dayton DSP-408

    Thanks. Was a bad relay, but didn't sound like a normal relay going bad. Aargh.

    What caused you to go there?

    What test tone to tune amps with?

    You can't just blindly do this. You need to use your senses and TRY really hard to listen to anything that sounds distorted. Listen to EACH driver independently as well. Super hard to hear your mids distorting if your bass is redlined.

    powerus amps?

    I know what you meant, still useless. No need for that much pre-amp voltage. Not going to get thermal noise with WAY less.

    Sq hdx subs

    For that amount of dough I'd buy something made by SSA. There are sweet spots for SQ, but the HDX I don't think will fill that.

    Ported Sundown truck box build

    Love the work so far...but am unsure how you determined the port length before measuring the overall volume. It isn't something that you can approximate...

    powerus amps?

    Which would be HORRIBLY useless. As for where, not sure.

    Welcome to the IHoP v.2

    Drive my sisters Trackhawk. It would actually be a reasonable replacement for the big ugly. $99.5k for a Jeep tho....fuck
  19. Clipping lights dont work. Worrying about output is silly. 1200 or 1500 you won't hear ANY difference
  20. Should ask what amp won't crap on you like your last one did. Jcarter gave you one option. In general your list is lackluster. Definitely run from the Skarbage.

    What test tone to tune amps with?

    Well recorded music that you know well and well recorded music you dont know well. Tones are silly.

    So my stainless would then wipe down more easily afterwards? If so...I WANT.

    Help tuning amps

    The smd is the biggest waste of money you could possible have. First step is to teach yourself what distortion sounds like. Pretty sure you are used to liking it. Have to get beyond that first and then it is rather simple to set the gains. Just put them in a spot where they don't distort.
