just got off the phone with my gf, she knows a little about car audio, not much, only what i've been able to teach her between her ADD spouts. At work today (hospital) she says one of the clerks or something was flirting with another registration chick and was bragging about his "system". My gf is as mean as me so she steps in and says oh..what do you have? he's amazed she asks and adores the attentino so answers "i've got the whole system done with the same brand, xpolds, they'll shake you" my gf replies with "really? my bf knows a little about audio stuff, he always said sony was basically crap" "i don't have sony, they're XPLODS" -LOL "Who do you think makes xplods??????? Have you ever heard of any companies like JL?" she knew better than to even begin to ask about the lesser known brands, but yet he replies with no, he only runs the TOP OF THE LINE "how many watts are you running to them?" "3000" "no you're not" at this point mocking him in front of the girl he was trying to impress from here it goes on to him arguing with her and her eventually saying yea i bet you do i told her to ask him next time how much amperage he's running, just want to see what crazy number he pulls out of his arse.

2:30am and i'm studying for a sexuality test. This crap sucks. I'm going to have to use my last 3 withdrawal credits on my film class because i'm going to fail, i rarely miss class and i am not passing, such crap. This semester is blowing and i've actually put forth more effort than usual. i think i'll pull an all-nighter, maybe i can offer oral services to the sexuality teacher(fem) in exchange for a good grade.

BEAUTIFUL, thats pretty much exactly what i was looking for (your drawing) i've heard how it works and sorta understood it but could never visualize it. And looking at adire's model i never actually saw the gaps, i guess i just overlooked them.

man that sucks about the cat, if it was my dog, i'd be hunting bastards down. As far as the gf chit, i wouldn't stand for it nor would i be calm about it. I would have been calm if she was 30min late, i'd be pissed as hell if it was 3 hours though

i used to have an old pop bottled wedged in the back of it to keep it from moving around....but that was tight (lol) i considered carpeting them but its not worth my time, i want a new setup maybe glass boxes this time around, maybe IB, who knows

i know and i've stuffed blankets on the sides to try to fix that, but i think the bottom of the trunk just isn't flat, i can't figure it out to save my life. it looks really crappy with all the loose cloth stuffed around it but man it sounds a lot better

actually what i was thinking was if i went IB, just seal the deck and keept he speakers the way they are now. I realize it'd be a lot more work, but i think it'd look better. I was thinking maybe weld angle iron onto the sides and put holes, have a piece of MDF cut to the right shape and have it attach at the sides the angle iron. Hopefully someone understands that.

there is little to know importance in how they look visually. Unless You are asking something else in this post, I do believe that You are headed in the wrong direction. The motor MAKES a driver. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> i understand that, i'm just saying i like to see how something works before i try to understand it.

do you go to class too? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Every quarter is the same. I start off ambitious and say I'm gonna go to every class, and I do. About 4 weeks in, I stop going to the inconvenient ones (when I have an hour gap between classes, I wont go to the second one). Most of the classes are tested on reading anyways so I don't really need to go. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> you mean you can read? man schools are way better on your side of the earth

do you go to class too?

Me too. 16 hours of studying...speaking of which, I need to get back to that. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> 16 hours of studying? you have to be a freshman, the only thing i do for 16 hours is sleep

ah, who needs an alt anyway? thats like oil, you only need it for a while i'm really drawn to the XXX's because of all the hype, I think i might try to pick two up next year when the scholarship money comes in. Make them 12s and see if they're as good as everyone says.

yummy, so with my 900-1000W i'd probably kill the suspension, no fun there

lol i'm so new to car audio i wouldn't know cancellation if it smacked me in the face. And yea the rear deck looks like swiss cheese, if i was going to seal it i'd just sand the hell out of it and weld some old sheet metal over the spots, it'd probably be easier than anything Buttt that sounds like a lot of pain to get better SQ but what seems to be a huge loss in SPL. and do you mean i'd be giving less power because of the loss of the boxes and impedance rise?

yea i tried to img tags and it denied me, i'm not l33t enough i guess :-( yea trunk space is a little on the small side, but its a big car, i have tons of back seat. I've seriously considered IB but i'm not sure how it'd sound. I figure my next setup will use 12s unless the 15s need very little space.

don't be hatin' some of the pics were taken with a very nice nikon 8mp digicam, the other were taken with my camera phone the dirty carpet and glue marks on the boxes adds tons of dbz too

do we have liter-a-cola?

dodge stratus 98 model

how much work would it be/what would i need/would we have time to deaden my doors and prepare them for 6.5comps? also thedoor panels little white plugs that hold them on are mostly broken, i bought some replacement blue ones a long time ago but don't remember where i got them, anyone point me in the right direction?

i'll most likely be bringing my gf too, it's a rough drive from here though :-P

you all gotta learn how to handle your womens

would be nice to sound deaden my doors in prep for the comps. But i've broken just about every one of the plastic plug things in the doors so they rattle like crazy anyway. can't wait to hear the magnum

ahh i'm the guy with short hair that sits wayyy in the back and is usually there late.

friggin awesome, i'll get to see some real setups.

I'll be there, but when is it going to be? also who is the guy that goes to tech that i talk to on aim? i know thats horrible but i don't know who he is on here, he directed me to these forums though.
