40 hz is pretty high man, alot of guys are going with the 32hz like you have already. Your sub won't give you such a good low end anymore at that high I don't believe. And with a ported box you're going to have a rolloff where at the higher end it wont be geared so well for those kicks and such with metal. If you like alot of metal a sealed box would actually give you a more forgiving range to work with. Alot of the higher notes would still sound good, and you'd still have a decent low range for rap and such.

Just matching up the wire colors does NOT always mean that it's correct. Always use the code sheet that comes with the harness as well as the color codes from the H/U.
I've had to fix many of people's where they thought just putting the colors together was correct and they've done electrical damage to their car.

WMM is a pretty basic one, but I've always used professional ones like adobe premiere. Sony vegas is pretty good as well.

It must be something that the window is rolling down in a certain spot that's rubbing the tint.
Try and make sure the weather stripping at the door there is clean and no roughness that is going to scratch the tint.

wow. VERY descriptive, thanks a ton.
And a positive for vista? Thats good for sure. I would have to go buy some CD-RW's once I upgrade my headunit. I really like that, I can't believe it works that easy. Does the CD get like, worn out over time? I dont know the words to say it, but tell me if you don't get it
Technically no supposedly you can rewrite the CD's ALOT of times, however you'll end up scratching them to a point of no use before you'll ever have problems with them not writing due to over-erasing them.
Just buy a 5 pack of them and you'll be set. I've got one for my miscellaneous songs, one for my rap songs, one for all my country and so on...
I think on my HIM cd I've got all 7 albums, plus a few singles, and a few other cd's they released all on one mp3 CD. It's cool with the alpine because I've got each album in it's own folder, so you can search through album, then to song.
Data CD's own.

and when you burn mp3 cd's doesnt it fit a lot more songs too?
Yes, because whenever you're making an audio cd it is a constant of time rather than size. There for a 70 minute cd will hold ONLY 70 minutes of audio. However that same cd might also hold 700 mb of data. An mp3 is in the data category, so there for it will hold 700mb of mp3. The length of the audio data and bitrate will determine how much of that data the cd will hold. A pretty popular bitrate right now is 192kbs, so about a 3-4 minute mp3 might take up 4-5 mb. That's ALOT more songs you could fit vs just audio cd.
Be careful about which songs you get however. In some cases if you don't look hard enough you can get mp3's at a 96kbs, which isn't horrible, but you can notice the difference between a higher bitrate file if you know what to listen for.
Right now my favorite by far is a combination of windows vista and CD-RW's. With windows vista you can burn a data cd by drag and drop method, and if you decide you need to add a new song all you have to do is put the cd-rw back in and drag and drop the new mp3 and windows will burn it to the disc without having to totally erase the cd and starting over.
-
Well to be honest a standard cd doesn't even cut it for me anymore. I personally think an MP3 cd sounds better than a regular audio cd. Alot of my mp3s are at 196 kbps and I haven't found anything that plays better than that on my alpine.
So all in all direct mp3 ftw.

Oh hell yeah man, if that's all any good epoxy will do the trick.
A suggestion though, trim that carpet to the exact edge of the hole. In the pic it looks like the carpet folds over into the hole a bit, what I'm saying is I would trim that off so that you have the edge for the epoxy to bond to.
Since you can get to the back of the panels as well it looks like, just put a bead of epoxy around the back as well, that'll hold it more than enough.
-
OOOOOO MIGHTY PUTTY!!!!!! shits strong.lol
"Optimus prime cant even break this shit!" Haha.
All jokes aside he has a good point, an epoxy putty would be great. Strange but why is the carpet having to do with anything? Could you let us in on a little more of what you're trying to do?
-
You need to remember dude that with any (aux input) you're sound quality is only as good as the headunit can re process the music. If you have an actual Ipod I would recommend just getting an ipod ready H/U with a full speed connection. That way your H/U can read the MP3 directly and not have to depend on the connection and ipod attempting to give the music a "good sound".
-
They are only efficient if you're doing alot of big things like everyone is saying (boats, showers, bodykits)
If you're going to just do door pods, door panels, sub enclosures, and such then really IMO a rig like that is more of a hassle than it would be effective.
-
They look good man. A lotta speaker for the front doors, for my taste, but they turned out great.
-
READ ALL 42 pages of the book uh i mean manual. It's in there PIA to explain!
What exactly are you having trouble with? If it's to do with the 9887, just ask I'll be glad to help.
-
I didn't know they had a new cd I guess.
My opinion... Not a damn song I can actually say I liked from that, which is disappointing, nickelback usually has some great songs.
Just more reason to listen to the older stuff.
BTW, dude your avatar is kickass.
-
you can adjust ALOT of frequncy bands without the imprint module, learn your HU.
Damn straight.
The imprint just offers a few more options. You can get it set actually very precisely without it which is nice, but getting the imprint just takes it to the next level.
-
Lot's of creativity will be a must to pull this off man.
Not saying it's not doable, it's just you'll have your work cut out for you to make it right and look good.

Mix the ratio a little hotter, and use a heat gun to help kick in the curing process, but just only let the heat gun let it START the process. After it starts, then let it go with a heat lamp on it on its own.

My setup isn't nearly as big as what you guys are running, but if this gets me part of team DC audio I'm happy.
It's a singlecab 03 silverado 4x4.
Two level 2 10"s powered by an Orion HCCA d1200.
In this pic you can see my DC logo at the top of the windsheild.

Love my DC's, best sub's I've ever used, bought, and even heard, period.

You can open the alpine probably and check the spots where the plug ground will solder to the board.
That's just a really weird situation man...
-
The 9887 has a everything the 9886 has but a few more features and flexibility.
The 9886 doesn't have as many X-over and EQ specific ranges to fine tune if I remember correctly, that's why I chose to go with the 9887.
-
Google it for good iron soldering info.
But for torch soldering on heavier wiring check Steve's post on it. I think he made it a sticky somewhere.
Yes it's by far the best connection type due to it being a permanent connection of the wires and gives the least resistance when done correctly.

Some latex quick dry painters caulk will do the trick for you and will have less harsh fumes rather than silicone. I recommend a small squeeze tube rather than a tube you use in a caulk gun because with the squeeze tube you can get in there easier to do it.
The larger gap you're going to want to give some rigidness too. Do the mdf sawdust and a good wood glue trick to fill that gap first.
Seal it all up with that, however give it a day or more to air out, and if you can let a fan vent it as well because the fumes before it's all cured can harm your subs.

Oh this is just too good to pass up.

I'm not gonna lie, I'd rather fight a big muscle ripped guy than a girl, girls are vicious fighters. They have NO rules and just straight up don't give a DAMN!
Haha, but some good vids, just stay away from the women they are crazy fighters...

My brother inlaw showed me this song, it's pretty damn catchy and has a damn good bass line.
