can we make a forum rule that like outlaws "how many deebeez can i hit with xxx setup?" threads/posts
noone knows, build it and try, anything is possible is ALWAYS the answer, we can always guess, but then again, so can you and can keep the recent topics section open for cooler stuff than a description of an idea and a guess of what it can do.
http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/ind...?act=boardrules i mean, rule 7 is "no is xxx louder than yyy" on the same premise...

just trying to help
most companies either diode isolate or internally fuse somehow the rca ground so that the amp cant pull ground through the h/u if the amp's ground isnt sufficient (which CAN happen if the amp's rca's are grounded to the chassis, and its being driven hard on too small a gauge of wire...like so many people do)
what i showed bypasses that, and in turn provides a lower noise environment, just make sure everything else is up to spec and you shouldnt have a worry.
-
do about a cube sealed for each, or about 1.75-2 ported, port on smaller side (10sqin/cube, or about a 4 in round per sub)
wire the amp at 4ohm bridged, should be fine and do about 200 watts. if it blows, thats cool, cuz its older than the internet apparently
dont expect a whole lot out of it...
-
a lot of h/u's, the outer rca isnt properly grounded to the radio chassis, so grounding the radio can cause more interference
try grounding the rca to the h/u chassis, like this :
strip alot of wire
wrap it around the rca (mine are pigtailed, if yours arent, this is going to happen on the back of the deck, but you get the idea...use enough to go around the rca and leave enough for you to twist it on tight)
ground the rca to the chassis
now keep in mind, if you have an eq, you may have to ground all of your rca outputs to the chassis, and all the rca outputs of the eq to its chassis, and use a common ground for the two, and possibly link eq chassis to h/u chassis
getting rid of noise can be a bitch, especially if its "source" noise like yours appears to be, not noise picked up in-line
-
theres not much of a difference tbh, the 880 is newer and darker...
-
if the line going to the back batts is touching the car side of the positive terminal (like mine are) there is still a full loop, and current is still available.
-
uh, ur sig says 2 hc2400
so you have 2 other batteries in there? forget about those?
-
strip it to see, duh
if youd core the outside, you should be able to bend it and pull it off and expose the like 8 wires inside, strip one of those (i'd just single one out, heat it up with a lighter, and use your thumbnail to pull it off)
or you can just go get rca's

well you, g-fresh, are a very unique exception
rca+power line almost guarantees noise
rca+speaker line is basically the same, but in an rca, the shielding makes almost an antenna, and it is then multiplied 10-100 times by the amplifier (depending on how powerful it is)
so basically speaker line doesnt pick it up as well, and if it does it makes a much less noticeable noise. but if possible, try and keep them as separate as possible. If its not possible, you should be ok, but it ~MAY~ have some sort of noise. key word is may...

thats legit like a decade old. thats from AOL dialup days.
thanks for the flashback
-
mine are basically in sealed pods, i guess .4 or so total for 2 mids. pobably should put some polyfill. I feel like the output was cut, but it extends lower and sounds....fuller. almost like it has more warmth to it than mounted i/b
-
sq is in the box
some tuning and design can make those l7's sound fantastic. or make the w6's sound like poop. why downgrade to a lower power handeling woofer?
-
wow
i'm all about that, i'm really gonna do it. I was going to be the third boondock saint but i'm not fat or hairy enough, lol.
and its kinda caught on calling it whore-o-ween. i didnt know there were "sexy" variants of so many professions before college, lol. sexy cop, sexy nurse, sexy referee, sexy baseball player, sexy dancing M&M, etc...

this is gonna sound stupid but:
smooth peanut butter...smoosh some on, use your (clean, like wash before hand) finger to swirl around in circles around the disk, like 3 times (itty bitty overlapping circles, until you've been around the whole cd 3 times).press hard and dont be a wuss, put it on the counter so you dont bend and break it. Then run it under a tap and use your finger to get it all off. finish with a microfiber cloth or soft towel. Then take a (new, as in unused and undirtied) hi-liter and basically color it in, in small overlapping circles (for both of these think of waxing your car...peanut butter is like a cutting compound and the highliter is like a wax, use the same motion and everything)
then wash off and clean with a nice soft cloth. if that doesnt work, its too messed up. I've brought a lot back from the death this way. and somehow it works better than even like mother's plastic polish.

possibly
what do you have besides 4g wire?

the sad thing is that theres hundreds of people that read that and bought a 13w7 and a 1000/1 thinking its the greatest thing ever.
a lot of people only know jl, alpine, pioneer, and kicker. they assume kicker is loud but poop, jl is the utmost in quality, alpine has the best radios without question, and pioneer is for people who cant afford the others.
but whatever. thats why they invented internet stereo stores and bestbuy.

it gets weirder....
they were on wife swap, and on some news channel said something stupid like "you said we did this for a show"
then later, the kid puked on live tv and got his ass on youtube. its like a publicity stunt drawn out to the max.

good looks on posting the vids rob
and thanks for whoopin my ass with 2 10's and less power, lol. But then again noone else was bumpin in the 20's
i wish i could make it to that rochester show : / i was planning on going but now i have to take care of health needs instead.
its early in the morning so I forgot who asked, but the 3-18 build is in my sig. on the first post is a link to the dc build, the first few pages are my doors/kicker build
and incase no one noticed, dc=trophies, lol. props to rusty on making some killer groundpounder subs, and some crazy spl subs. i cant wait to see what the DC TH's do.

" A high level of THC could create a synergistic effect and really have a negative impact medically on somebody,"
-yea, you'd eat the rest of the brownies and laugh at everything
and lol at the student passing out, takin a weed nap at school. I legit took a nap in the middle of the day for like 4 hours last time i tried one.
doesnt poison have to be capable of harming or killing someone? its easier to get someone to drink a lethal amount of water than eat/smoke a lethal amount of weed.

gamestop guys are pricks
they wont price match, they sell buy-back games at double to quadruple what they pay you for it, and now they wont let you buy things online unless you talk to some retarded ass girl named jeanette who wants to verify that you REALLY did want the thing you ordered, but cant verify it personally and tells you to call some other number.
and online is independent from the stores, but most places will honor online prices if you make a stink.

i liked my 8in l5's, but if you wanted to use l7's that would work too (and that box is pretty much what they'd need)
and you could run 5x the power to them, which couldnt hurt, lol

i bought 6 sheets of mdf for my car, i'd guess 4.5 to 5 made it in...at 90lbs apiece thats already over 400
gallon of resin, few yards of glass, gallon of glue, some 2x4's, ...i guess call it 50lbs
3 18's...theyre what 70lbs apiece? call it 200....thats 650
but, 3 huge batts at 80+ apiece-250
4 big amps at 10lbs apice-40
so thats 940, not counting sprayfoam, wires (considerable, prob nearing 100 lbs, 100+ft of 0, dozen fuses and blocks, 60ft of 8g, 100ft of 12g, 3 sets of 20ft rca's, 3ft worth of busbars with 2 dozen 3/8in bolts)...and then theres all that dumb stuff like dynamat, pretty panels, batt/amp racks
honestly its probably over half a ton I added to my car....and its not even a full wall
the box and subs, 500-600+ is right, but keep in mind all that other shit you put in there
-
dont
company was liquidated, product is being sold off under cost with no warrantee or anything
and its a piece of crap to begin with. you get what you pay for and a 200 dollar screen is a 200 dollar screen, and its going to be poop.

infinite baffle
in Subwoofers / Enclosures
Posted · Edited by raytard
IB means there is no box, the sub is attatched to a baffle, and thats about it
lots of cars come from the factory with an IB 8 or 10 in the parcel shelf in the back
if you want to do it in your car, use an IB capable sub (fi makes some, and i'm sure theres some others kicking about, they kinda went the way of the cassette player in car audio though), mount it in a baffle facing forward, and do your best to seal the "front" from the "back"...cut the mdf to basically seal around the trunk and fill the gaps with caulk/sprayfoam/fiberglass
dont port it, that defeats the entire purpose
as far as a build log, i know there is a mustang with all rockford gear and an IB setup somewhere on here, or you can look in any car audio mag from before 1993 or so
basically boxes meant less work installing, higher outputs, and higher power handling. ib has some advantages, but i'm not too sure how many people want to trade those over a traditional route
