My cuz is moving there when he comes back from Germany/Iraq. He has a 2008 BMW 3 series, wants to drop about 5 g's on a system.

yeah, you in the local area? its taking time, wheather, cash flow, and free time to build.

damn, now my wife will want some.

Going in a 07 Honda CRV. I don't have a clue what kind of box I am going to build yet. It will be my first box. I want to make a wall type box but dont want to seal it off so I can take it out when I need cargo room. They will be powered by a US amps AX3200DE

These are BEEFY subwoofers. They remind me of my old RF X2s but ALOT heavier. Talk about a stiff suspension too, very good build quality. Seeing these in person is a different experiance than seeing pictures online.

ah, well I cant post pics of what I dont have, lol. I am excited though.

what did I do?

From the get go, customer service has been great. That combined with what looks to be an excellent product and you got one great company. I will post pics here when I get them. They will arrive before I get to them but this weekend, I should have pics.

wow

I will be going tonight.

I am glad I waited to get an 18. I might go two 15's though. I cant wait to see pics and prices. This is awsome news.

thin steak, marinate in soy sauce or teriyaki or whatever marinade you want for about 12 hours, you can do it for less but I like to let it soak in. Then lay in the trays and wait till you got jerkey. You can make peppered by sprinkling pepper over meat when in the tray. you can buy liquid smoke or somthing like that to add a smokey flavor but I dont really care for it, doesnt taste the same as real smoked meat.

Your right Steve, you can lock or delete this thread. Sorry for opening up a can.

whats up with the political banner??? I thought politics were a no no around here...

my poor mx...i wish i would have never sold it. i miss it and i still dont have an 18. oh and be carefull on ebay... sometimes even if they got good refs. Iv gotten burned once on there.

Rockford will be selling SMD line of gear? Kind of like Orion did the WCC stuff? It will include 18's and T5k's?

Mic placement in the bed of a truck on top of the sub enclosure? FUCK THAT!

for realz, i hardly talk on here because i try and avoid saying something stupid or getting into an argument that will get me banned. If you get banned and are allowed back on then whats the point of banning, then if you let someone pass then you have to let others or else you are playing favorites, i dont think a forum should be like that. At some point in life, even as a kid or teenager you have to learn that actions have consequences and you need to think before you speak or act sometimes or else you may lose out on things in life. I dont understand how people dont get that. David, I think you are doing the right thing. Drop Da Hamma!

That masking tape must add teh dee beez! I bet its loud.

So as a teenager I loved domestic. I was a Chevy boy, I have owned a 91 Astro, 88 S-10, 2000 Malibu, then the most recent Domestic was a Dodge Intrepid 2004 (ill get to that in a bit). I miss all my Chevys but it was a love hate relationship with each one. Although the most reliable one was the Astro, then the s-10, I say this because for the age and miles the repairs werent that bad but still. Then I fell in love with the Malibu, got it brand new, was great, I thought this is the car I knew America could build...LOL...Then the problems started. Monthly payments and having to replace the rotors at 15K Tires at 20K and Rotors again at 28K...Keep in mind all this happened within a two to three year time period, I put about 20-25K a year on my cars...at 35K the Rotors needed replacing again so this time I invested in slotted rotors because it seemed the design defect was that they overheated too fast...Then a couple months later out of left field I take it in because its losing coolant bad...it had around 38K on it at the time and thought well if its the engine maybe Chevy would be cool about it or at least cover some of whats wrong...I took it in and sure enough, head gaskets were blown...keep in mind I drive like a granny...They said they didnt like doing repairs on that and just replaced engines if they needed new gaskets....LOL so at that point I lost all love for Chevy...I still miss the car but it was a headace...I got the Dodge to get out of the Chevy and it was what I could afford because I was upside down on the Chevy.... The Dodge was not nowhere as bad as the Chevy but I just didnt really like it, I put about 40K on it and didnt really have much of a problem except I found out early on that those engines build up sludge like crazy if you dont use expensive synthetic oil and with regular oil may not go beyond 150K so I started that early on and made sure I changed every 5K. I used to laugh because my brother got a 97 Civic as his first car, told him Civics were chick cars...Honda's were crap...blah blah blah....Well 145K later and only break pads, tires, a couple tunes ups and regular oil every 7K he still has his Civic. Long story short I am the proud owner of a Honda CR-V now...I love it and plan on keeping it well beyond the time I pay it off....so far I put 28K on it and I change the oil every 8K or so and the tires are even still good on it...I am a definite believer in the power of rice...lol...I love my import and dont plan on buying domestic anymore...Although Mercury did take top spot in reliability amongst luxury cars all around lone term reliability has been with Honda and Toyota brands for many years. I still love Chevys but I wouldnt own one as a daily.

Are you going for a wall like the one Steve has in the Civic?

Rusty Flowers DC Audio 775.335.5959

white smoke can be a sign of blown head gaskets. check your dip stick, if you see bubbles or milk shake, creamy colored oil then there is coolant getting in your oil from bad gaskets. that can cause the white smoke.

unless he was playing it long at its mech limits...Dont FI subs make a different sound like most subs when they reach mech limits?

Dont mean to thread jack but I have a 7 cuft box at 34 hz and was planning on getting a BTL 18 and throw it on a US Amps AX3200DE at 1ohm. Is this a bad idea? I will not be changing the box, should I just a DC Lvl5?
