    Second Singer hairpin, or shit ton of second skin.... I'm thinking get the second singer because I'll need more alt once I hook up the two 2-channels. And I'll upgrade from the 3.5k one day I suppose.... Thoughts?

    That will be a factor that plays into effect of what spider you should choose. If you plan on giving the sub rated power, and don't play music below tuning to the point of unloading, then the regular spider will be fine. If you plan on giving the sub more than rated power, then you'll want a stiffer spider to help control the subs movement, and make it harder to reach the mechanical limitations of the sub. Hopefully, someone with experience using the different spider configurations of the DC Audio subwoofers will chime in and be able to help you choose.

    What amp?

    8ga direct connect is just that. Direct connect instead of push terminals AR cone is a Kevlar cone with a wider surround Spider upgrade: "Stiffer suspension helps with reaching the mechanical limit, but of course there are trade offs. A big one - a higher Fs. Extra spiders when spaced or stacked enough will also help with coil rock. Bottom line - just adding spiders is just like any other "solution". It is not always the best idea, but it can help in many situations. Depends on what you are trying to achieve". XL softies upgrades coil and spiders to XL sub parts.

    Well, I just tried a fitment test for the L8 in the kicks, and I can definitely do it on the passenger side, but the drivers side is a no-go. It's a smaller panel, the hood release is somewhat in the way (no, I won't relocate it), as well as other things that make that area cramped. So, both the L6 and L8's will be in the doors. Saturday I'm going to deaden the rear hatch with my leftover q-mat because I never got around to it and it needs it, and when that's done, I'll start modeling out how I'm going to do the doors. Maybe some progress pictures by Sunday night? We'll see. Oh, and I'll be redoing the cutouts for the L1pro's and L4's, because practice makes perfect, and they're not perfect.

    I guess I should get on desktop more often and use less mobile

    thanks yeah I've been super busy, I'm not gonna be able to make it up for the TDH show but I'm planning on going to SLAMOLOGY Sweet. Looking forward to the videos

    Edit the post, backspace the type, and put a period or something, then press post again. You can't delete posts, only edit.

    Goodness, you have been busy in this way of life. I wish I'd be able to make it to the TDH show this year to get a demo from you (assuming you take a ride up to my neck of the woods). You're an inspiration.

    four AA Chaos 15's on my SQ-3500 non-walled is what i'm thinking. leave for deployment, save save save all the monies, come home, buy second skin, tear apart interior, etc., finish HAT front stage, buy four chaos', build new enclosue, rock out. i'm estimating $2.5-3k

      How come? What would be the difference in a daily on 3.5k? I ask because I don't know.

      It's ok though because we got some awesome new sponsors in incriminator and pride car audio.

    five hours and 100 pages later, i'm finally caught up on the last 30 days of RPP. a lot of funny shit.

    i don't like how on PC if i click on a thread, it starts at the beginning instead of the last post in that thread i saw, like it does on mobile. SMD mobile > SMD PC

      click the red circle next to the thread on PC derp. it may be a different color based on your theme

      got it. thank you. i only use mobile when i'm home. but i'm kind of unable to receive cell service on the ship, so PC is the only way to go. appreciate it!!!

      on PC there is also a small clickable to the right of the thread title to preview first and last posts. its not very visible

    vaping is turning out good. i've only had ~10 cigarettes since i bought it. it's not the same, but i'm making do. definitely didnt bring enough juice or coils for a 5 week underway though :(

      Whats the policy on vaping onboard? Designated areas only?

    2. Jessica

      Jessica

      good luck

      @ Orion - yeah, only in the designated area. which sucks cause all i smell is smoke when i go out, but you can't win every battle.

      @ duck, thanks man. I just couldn't get off of them cold turkey.

    maybe. im not sure. i don't have any issues with the straight bit though. especially not when i have the circle jig attached as well. my freehand circles on the MDF were definitely rough. Thank you for checking it out. i don't feel as if i'm one of the more experienced though, as this is the first vehicle that ive done any fabrication and staging in. it's been a learning experience each time i try it. practice is making it better though. this will be the fourth time i think i've done my door pods, first time on the pillars

    Could you please add CC-1 to my tools list? Thank you Virginia Beach, VA 23462

    Lower resistance = less efficient. Therefore, to answer "help with coming up with the most efficient setup", the 7500 at .67 would be more efficient. Which still won't be very efficient.
  18. reedal
    I see. Well, hopefully tomorrow I can squeeze in a little planning, snap a couple pictures, and share what I feel is best for me. If not, it'll be a little while before I make any progress. Navy life

    5-6ft^3 net would be normal enclosure size on rated power. The people that feed subwoofers more than rated power typically have enclosures that are smaller than what is recommended, in order to maintain control of the woofer's excursion. So if you want to throw 1k to woofer's you just bought (when you were contemplating whether it was worth to drop the extra cash for a second one), be aware that woofer's are given power ratings for a reason. Ignoring the mechanical control aspect of it, there's also thermal capacity of the coil. More power = more heat. There's a limit to how much power the coil will make use of before it is just dissipated into heat. More heat = earlier failure. Some will tell you to go ahead and run more power to them, I say if you want to run 1k to each, you should have bought 1k woofer's. Stick with 600 to each, in the proper sized enclosure, and enjoy a long life from them. But that's just me good luck

    Thank you I think as far as positioning goes, I'll probably end up positioning them similar to how dolarbillz did for his and ToNasty's pillars, but I do want to test it before I actually get to work on them. Figure out what angle I want and how high or low on the pillar. My mind say put them high so they're less in the way for driving since it's my daily, but my ears say put them where they sound best From what i have read the lower on the windshield the better,but i think you definitely have to play with positioning for what sounds best to you. I am stuck right now so i put it away until i am committed and dive in. I suppose lower would be best for having it come from right in front of you as best as it can, versus coming from a higher placement where the sound is coming down from above the level of your ears. Time to buy some double sided tape and hope it can support the weight of the drivers

    Some threaded inserts and screws for the mids and highs, since the 1/4-20 threaded inserts and the 1-1/2" screws to match that I used for the subs are a tad too large
  23. reedal
    Did you email droppinhz?
  24. reedal
    Do you have pictures of the subs that you can upload? It may help someone determine what sub you received and whether it is compatible/the same as your old sub.

    In case I don't like the grills. I can look at pictures all day, but until the pillars are finished and everything is in place, I won't know for sure. So the flush mount is my insurance.
