The liberals told me hummers run off the blood of baby harp seals... They never mentioned anything about this though.
-
Hmm, 1100 is pretty affordable I think for amp like that.
-
My only half serious theory is that the contour is a little egg shaped
But yea, but no seat blocking does make a big diff with it.
-
my buddy ahd a ford contour with 2 12inch alpine r's and 2 image dynamics 15's, the 15's faced up, the 12's faced back, the 12's were ported, the 15's were sealed. some random 1000watt amp powered it, and it friggin beat, it shamed my setup.
some of that funky stuff will work, but it will always make you look real ghetto
Odd, I have a Ford Contour with a junky set up and my stuff pounds as well. Way harder than it should according to most who see it. Maybe contours are good spl cars??
-
From one noob to another... Google the easy stuff like this.
That way when you get to the hard stuff like t-lines, Quarter waves and how to get a few more tenths from the t-l they aren't disgusted with ya and won't help lol.
-
I agree, they can be close, I tested 144.x on an ac with my amp dialed in.
my next test was on a tl with my amp settings messed up and did a 142.1
-
Nice, I like it.
-
I know this is going to make me sound like an ass but I think I would have told after the 28th time at least. why wait for the 50th?

I was blessed as well fishing wise. I grew up in central oregon on the high plains desert. Trout fishing paradise on the deschutes river. Rainbows, German browns and brook trout. It seems I spent every waking minute on the banks of that river as a kid.
Then I moved to south-east texas and lived at a great bass lake. Lake Sam Rayburn. 660 miles of shore line. It also had great catfishing and gator gars. Plus frog giggin'.

I wan't thinking along those lines. I was thinking of what they call "cheater" amps. I've talked to a guy that says he still has a few from back when he could still get them from the factory. Earthquake amps I believe is what he used and has. I can't remember for sure.
-
I never thought of trying that set up. Might be fun just to see what it's like.
-
I've wanted to learn as well. But this is one of the few times google has let me down.
I asked a install tech at my local audio store if he could mod an amp and he said "nope. I just order them modded from the factory"

it fits 01 to 06 chevy tahoe silverado and suburban i believe as well as Gm yukon yukon xl and sierras.
p.m. sent
My message folder says no messeges were sent. and I sent 2. Not sure what is going on. Maybe you could message me and I could reply.

go with one of those kenwood amps
you sure your subs aren't dual 4? ts-w306c?
I have 2 svc 4 ohm 12's wired to 2 ohms. I've tried 4 amps so far and my kenwoods by far the best.
It's the 1700 watt peak model kac-something or other.
-
I use this site because I am learning also.
The best thing besides all the knowledge is unlike alot of other places I feel o.k. asking a question.
I know I won't get hassled to much for being a noob like alot of other sites will.
some of the things I'm glad I found on this site are mla modules, Sundown. And of course the holy of holy's Fi flbtl's
Edit: Oh and forevrbumpns quarterwave/t-line tutorial. that really got me thinking about stuff I can do.
-
Some one told me once that charcoal causes cancer. Since I'm a hypocondriach (sp) propane only for me lol.
-
5 minute epoxy by loctite. Use that shit and that mirror will never ever come off again. That stuff is awesome and has something like 2500psi holding strength.
Mine fell off during a burp. I've never had any luck with those auto store kits. I think I'll give that loctite stuff a try.

congrats

I'm not a usac member but they said if I joined in the next 90 days the points I won would count and I think it was a triple point comp.Not sure what good it would do me though I don't think I have the time to go to the others that are states away.
I sure am tempted though. I had that system hitting harder earlier this year and with a little more work I might could get that back. I all I did was pull it out and put it back in. I lost 3ish db's somehow doing that.
-
That'd be fun to do. Maybe make it a laptop and the top flips up?
-
what setup you have? nice numbers man!
thnx,
Ford contour, Stock electric except for a 100 farad audio battery.
4 awg wires.
Pioneer H/U. Kenwood amp 850 rms at 2 ohms, 2 Powerbass PS-12's in a pre-fab slot port in the trunk.
I think I could have done better but I got nervous/freaked and turned everything up full blast, gain bass boost volume etc. lol
-
It was a blast, USAC at Portland OR.
It was also my first crack at a Term-Lab.
First place. 142.1 at the kick panel door closed. 0-600 watt stock class.
I wish I could go to more but all the others are so far away
Sorry if this is the wrong section to post this.

In construction rule of thumb is at least an inch penetration with your fastener through the first material into the second. I see that nailer goes to an inch and a quarter only...so it's good for quarter inch paneling.
-
If youwant to pay a couple extra bucks the Audiocontrol Epic-160 is a fun gadget.
It has a db meter and a voltmeter along with the epicenter.
The db meter has a setting that will hold your highest db.

Done right 800 is louder than a person would think, I have 850 and do low 140 db's on a bad day with 2 12's in the trunk. Term-lab.
These guys are giving good advice on starting small. I went and upgraded subs a little while ago. took me two days to have em locked up tight. you could have stood on them and not got them to move lol.
I'll probably blow my next ones as well.
As far as shaking I don't have a mirror anymore and I have to sleep with the t.v. and fan on because my ears ring. Driving down the highway when I hit the volume looking through the windshield I can see the glass doing waves like an ocean.
