I'm currently without internet at home, so it's either my phone or go to the library...FTL!! Working on hustling up some loot to get this next build moving along

I gotta order my subs (4-SA12D2's), amp (SAZ-2500D), and HO alt, along with rewire the entire power, ground, and big 3 in 4/0 Hoping to do some more deadening and redo the front stage.....new MDF speaker rings and possibly glass the tweets into the sails Of course a new enclosure and amp rack will be coming as well Lots and lots to do but should be killer by the time it's done.....taking my time on this build to get everything 100% to my vision

Congratulations on your beautiful baby boy, Dad.

[porkchop 304]

new born popy diapers =ftw!!!

[stevemead08 752]

Congratulations on your beautiful baby boy, Dad.

Thanks bro. you said its a whole new kind of love and your 100% right. at only 25 hours old, i would give my life for this guy. he is so precious.

Its funny we spent 13 months trying to make him and 10 months cooking him. Thats almost two years waiting for this dude and now that i/we have him im scared as fuck. I really have no clue how to care for a newborn or what little things to expect other than the normal stuff. I know we will be ok. were an in love married couple that planned his arrival. We both have income and we have a great house to raise him in. There are families out there with far less than us and survive just fine as long as there is love in the family.

thanks dude. Im glad you made an appearance on SSA to greet the new family member.

And yes poopy pampers suck bad.

The first poops are all sticky and nasty plus his equipment down there is rather large and poses great difficulties getting him all clean. had to have the nurse bathe him to make me feel better.

[stevemead08 752]

Well, one more day in the hospital. Test came back positive for jaundis so he gets to hang out in the tanning bed for 24 hours. should be cool after that.

Hes such an italian. already tanning. lol

The fun has only begun Steve. With all of this responsibility make sure to instill biblical teachings. If you raise him in the ways of the Lord he'll always return to the fold. Truly you deserve Heartfelt Congratulations!

I've been testing away.

143.9 with the PAP. 2.5 cubes ported peaks @ 57

137.5 with one SA 8. .8 cubed ported peaks @ 55

I still have 3 more SA-8's but my best score is with the single sub go figure. I need to know where to spend my energy.

Do I continue to work with the PAP? and try different boxes?

Do I build 3 more identical boxes to the single box and stack them?

I have tried 2 different configureations of pairs (one common chamber the other a t-line) these never posted any higher than 135

I also tried one common box with 3 8's @ .6 cu per ported to 47. This one SUCKED poor loading and poor score.

I think the numbers speak for themselves. Sell the PAP.
