Hey, Name is Frankie Smith. I live in the foothills above Chico, CA. About 80 miles north of Sacramento. Been into car and home systems since elementary school. I was always the guy that was building speaker boxes in wood shop. I graduated high school in '95 and have been working at Precision Auto Repair in Chico since '99. My youngest son is 12 now and I am getting back into the car audio thing. How things have changed! I had a kenwood "960 max watts" 2 channel amp bridged to some of the old "typhoon" 12" kenwoods since '01 (I think). They were always in a sealed box. I always knew there was a lot of potential from ported boxes, but back in the day we never had the calculators. Now that I have done some research and found the calculators, my world of bass has changed! I built a box to specs for the kenwoods tuned to 35 hz. WOW! I never knew those old subs could do that! Recently I found a Hifonics Brutus Elite 1700.1 at frys electronics. Another WOW! I decided to up the game to something a little more modern. I ordered up a pair of the Soundqubed sdc2.5 12s. I built a box for them that is just over 4 c.f. (net) with a slot port tuned to 32 hz. All of this is in my 2000 civic EX. I have never seen body panels move like that before! Well thats my introduction, more details later, elsewhere!
