Can someone point me in the direction of H.O alts? I dont like ebay stores, but if that is the only place, which store is recommended? Thanks

i hope this amp makes me happy to justify the wait for it. I dont have to much money to spend, and from doing the research here, and other places that amp comes highly praised, so I sit and wait for it..........

to damn long. I am pretty much out of money now, but thats ok, my amp wont be available till next month (AudioQue AQ2200D is backordered) and the AQ4x90 should be around the same time, so I would say anywhere from 4-8weeks, (depending on money sistuation as-well) Hate being poor! <<goes out and buys lotto ticket>>

yes, my first ever box......I cut the top baffle board with 45degree corners, to add a little effect, its better then nothing. My speakers should be here tomorrow, I will test fit them, then i'm going to get her covered in tweed.

just uploaded some more pics to the first post....... Im getting the box finished in "tweed" on tuesday. That will hide some of the "minor" imperfections. Thanks guys for all your assistance.

Here are a few pictures of my 3 dogs. Bailey is a Basset Hound, Diezel is German Shepard, and Dually is my PitBull....... Diezel, and Dually are all AKC/UKC registered, Bailey is a mix Basset, and springer spaniel (he is the best tempered dog we have ever had) THis Dually as a pup, think he was 10 weeks here, he is trying to understand what the hell to do!!! This is Diezel waiting for "His baby" to come out of the cage to play This is Dually @ 7 1/2 weeks Diezel taking cover from hurricane!! Bailey and puppy diezel This is a picture of hurricane francis as it DIRECTLY hit us back in 04 when I lived in West Palm Beach/Wellington

That looks inventive, Now how would I do that with 2 speakers each with dual coils, and keep it understandable?

thank you, just got home from work (4.38am) and am getting to work on my box again.....been up 21hours, and back to working on this thing, yes im addicted! Can someone tell me what is the preferred way of getting the speaker wires to the outside of the case, is there anything special or fancy I can do. I would hate to just drill a couple of holes and run the wire out, then seal the hole up as best as I could, that it just to "redneck" LOL!

Yes, the box will be glassed inside.

02 tahoe what do I do for the speaker wires? Any tips you can help me with??

I didn't think it needed to be all the way up, come on, dont tell me I need to redue them! will it be ok the way it is? And thanks everyone, NONE OF THIS COULD HAVE BEEN POSSIBLE WITHOUT EACH AND EVERYONE OF YOU!

tanks are there to compair it to size! and yes, the top will have a double boards each 3/4 thick.

I followed the design spec sheet TO A TEE, so it should be perfect....... Cant wait to see what mess I can make doing the fiberglass

With the help of "Accordman" who spec'ed out the box for me, I just finished the 45's in the corner, and gluing corners and what not. I initially had the box all to gether, and accordman informed me of a major flaw that I did........I dint glue the surface of the boards where other boards meet up. I dis-assembled the box completely, GLUED EVERYTHING, then made some 45's for the corners, and then glued up all the corners just for re-assurence. The box feels completely solid, and not to mention nearly 100pounds more then likely. The top 2x4 really added much needed structual strength to it, as I can lift a corner, and there is NO MORE SLOP!. On saturday, I will be doing a few layers of fiberglass, for added strength. This is my first ever box build, so please tell me what you think, but be NICE! The box is 48.5x30x22.5 for 16cuft @ ~34hz. I hope i'm doing this correctly...... **EDIT*** The glue looks like shit in the picture, but I did smooth it all out, and looks flawless (at least to me that is) These are the new pix of my nearly completed box build, how are they? The black marker looks like the line wasn't followed right, but both those circles are 100% "round" the angle is bad in the pic

thank you for the reply, I already have a optima yellow as my only bat in the system (underhood). I have email Iraggi alt a few days ago (3-4) and still no quote for my truck. Is there another place to purchase one?

Im sorry to thread jack, but have a question: Im currently on a 140amp alt and will be using a AQ2200D amp, if I follow your calculations of 140x.8x12=1344. Does this mean I will have to upgrade to more batts, or a new alt? My idle amps is 14.1-14.4 will my current setup at full blast. I have not done the BIGIII yet (I will of course) what are my options here?

Yes, only skipped while playing cd's. I would like a new deck that has a USB port to it. Any suggestions? Eclipse, JVC, Pioneer?

I was currently using a Panasonic HU (was highend about 2 years ago as I paid 400 for it) however recently it started skipping VERY badly while playing CD's and I, well......Ripped it out from the dash while at a red light, and tossed it in the woods on the side of the road, I was so pissed off at it. Im now using some cheap as JVC HU, but it sounds very good for nearly a 5 year old HU. Looking for a new HU that has HI Volt pre outs, and WONT skip while playing CD's, and really cant afford to spend more then $175-250 on it. Can you help me narrow down my search..... Thanks

Wow, I come here to talk stereo stuff, and I find myself talking about PC's again LOL! I build WaterCooled PC for a living almost, and last year I patented a external watercooling system that I call "WaterKegs" I have a website @ www.externalpccooling.net if you would like to check it out.

appreciate it, thank you

I have PM'ed 2 people on this forum in the past 1-2 days, and my "sent" folder shows that no PM's have been sent, and neither of the 2 people I pm'ed have responded. After I send the PM, a screen pops up and say "message sent, we will now redirect you, or click here if you cant wait." However, under my account, it still shows my "SENT" box, completely empty.... What can I do to fix this?

does a BTL weight much more?

Just wondering? Trying to add up how much weight i'll be adding to my 02 Hoe.....

well, i'll see what it is like with the 1 amp, power these 2 subs and if it fu*king knocks, I'll get 2 more 18"s and use another ad2200d amp to power these 2. Time will tell. I more then likely wont get my BL's for another 1-2 weeks (I just ordered them yesterday, so I have no idea how long it takes to get them) I'll start out with 2, and go up from there. On going projects are always fun.

I plan on purchasing another AQ2200D to strap it to the other amp next month. Speakers are already ordered......
