Whats involved with build a woofer from the ground up? I've always wanted to try to make a sub. I've watched the discovery channel thing, I must admit its pretty neat and there not as complex as I thought. Now I obliviously won't jump right in and do this right away, just wondering cause its interesting me.. Mach 5 Audio sells baskets, so I'd probably get baskets from him. Has there ever been a 1 ohm SVC sub? I know you have to shim your voice coil gaps. And if you use a recone, you have to attach the spider (not sure about this) and attach the surround to the basket. Also you'd have to solder the tinsel leads? I love to do things like this, to me this is how I'd learn.. only thing is IDK what I'd do with the sub when I get it done.. haha

I saw this on PE too.... specs looks decent.... I don't see why it would do bad in car audio environment... and if you don't like the cone like me, what about this.. http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/showdetl.cf...tnumber=340-512

Yea thats f*cking great.. I love it/

Where do you live BassJunkie? I'd buy them for my sonoma and run adapters.

So this thing will work well with rap too?

I tried on a pair of skates and I fell over and never put them on again.

why not buy a nuclear reactor?

EHHHhhhh $378.80 is more than I wanna spend on a 1500W amp lol. I need two.

LOL. I'mma 6' 1", and 275lbs... :01nocomment8so:

What info can you guys give on this amp? Is it worth the money? What will it do @ 1ohm on 12V? what about 14V? Is it under/over rated? Kiiiinda thinking of buying two to power my subs... Mach 5 SPL-12s...

Bahhhhh you guys got too many rules. I was going to put a gasser v8 in, was going to go with a smaller SBC, like a 283. All I was gunna do was swap the trans and engine, drop a carb on it, and replace my gauges with mechanical ones... The 6.2 diesel is mechanical so theres no computer. My frame isn't rusted bad, its just surface rust and dirt, you can clean it up with a wire brush.

I will need to get v8 conversion engine mounts, run airbags up front most likely, might have to beef up the frame, cowl hood, trans swap, gauge cluster swap, rear end swap, wire the diesel, fuel return line... thats all off the top of my head.

Is Chicken an artist? I didn't know?

I was chatting with a guy with a turbo 6.2 in a roadmaster wagon and he can get into hybrid territory in regards to mileage.. I think around 34mpg. 2.2 has 159,000 miles, 222,000kms. all it needs is a clutch.

Do you think it would support a 700lb V8? Is the frame up to it? To the OP. Go browse S10Forum.. IIRC they have a SD section and they have a deal on teh front kit.

I called SD and he told me to bag the front first then the rear when I can afford it. He told me to use air shocks out back. He did this for almost a year in 97 or 99 when he did his first dime. I'm planning to do the same. Will bags support a heavier engine?

Ours did too. We sold it. Never had any problems with the OHV... cooling fan went out and it never even overheated.. but we had to replace the fan as it would not have a/c at idle.. Fuel filter got plugged up on it and it would lean out and shut down. Simple fix. new fuel filter. We never ever had a problem with our Sunfire... other than the above. Was a real rock solid car.. As it seems though OP, you have a shitty maintance schedule when you haven't changed the oil on your honda in 5 years... :01nocomment8so:

I'd either sell it as is or do a V6 swap... c'mon you know you wanna... You shoulda got a 2.2L cavalier, the non ecotec one. those motors are usually tough as hell. Was the motor stock?

I have heard some of his songs, don't overly like them. I'll check out the stuff you posted.. thanks guys. Anything else will be great..

Yup spot on.

Nope just some names.

I need some new music for my iPod. I haz a 80GB video... I like older rock, and rap... I like CCR, uhh Dire Straits stuff like that in regards to rock... also like metalica and the who.. rap I like Lil Jon, Young Jeezy, The Game... uh.. stuff like that.. haha

Florida IIRC.

I think Steve used it in one of his videos and I've been trying to find out what song it is. GP2k2 said he thinks it was Airforces, but it don't sound like it. Sounds like its a mixtape song.

Not sure. Gotta find a suitable chassis to put the system in first...
