[I Fell Out My Damn Chair Laughing]

"i'm dyin in this fucking country ass fucked up town!" THAT'S SO DAMN HILARIOUS!

[T- Line Help.]

dude just build a regular ported enclosure if your wanting to do all that.... or do a standard tline with a constant port all the way through

[Need Help On Box]

i would do port up and tune it low to have things flexin like a bitch

[Box For Lvl 4 18s]

nice man lovin that fi box!!! now i trust ur design bro

thanks a lot

no problem man.. and i added a couple of links on that post.. one of the actual build and another of some videos of it

[Box For Lvl 4 18s]

here are some boxes i've built before

i'm a fan of t-lines as you can see and in that video i was using a single 12

if i find the links of the full builds i'll post them up here.

cool deal and back to your sub up port back i'd just go with the drawing.. either way i think it'll sound about the same.. there might be a different but sub back and port back is already drawn and it'd be the easiest to build so i'd go with that

[Box For Lvl 4 18s]

o i c

i will do that then........would i be good to round off all corners and what internal bracing??? i want a loud box that hits good lows that is strong and that will work in competitions......i am soon after i get the money gettin another lvl 4

as far as internal bracing goes i'm pretty sure the double baffle would be plenty but like i said add 45's to the corners and i think you'll be good.. it'll be a strong box no doubt and it's tuned between 32-33hz so it'll get pretty low just add pictures when you build it! i would like to see my creation someday

[Box For Lvl 4 18s]

personally i would just paint the port and vinyl the outside.. i wouldn't put vinyl inside the port if that is what your talking about doing.

[Box For Lvl 4 18s]

what you wanna do is if possible clamp your pieces together with the glue and while the glue is setting up pre-drill your holes for you screws then screw in your screws and take off your clamps and move on to the next piece...

countersink is this little drill bit and it's not a necessity but if you were going to round off all your corners on the outside you'd have to do it unless you plan on wrapping the box in carpet or just leaving it bare wood

[Box For Lvl 4 18s]

glass.. not so much... 45's i would, especially in that port and if you can round off all your corners and don't forget to pre-drill and countersink all your screws

[Box For Lvl 4 18s]

wow great work bro! wouldnt sub up port back be more efficient though>

if that's the case take the double baffle off the front and make the top a double baffle and put the sub up top.. i think either way you'll be satisfied by it...

[Should I Go With Fi Ssd Or Fi Q]

yeah i agree with neo.. i mean what are you looking for out of a sub? each one has it's own unique characteristics but it's up to what you want

[Old School Pyle Driver Ii's]

com'n guys what do ya say?

have nobody seen these woofers in their lifetime before?

[Box For Lvl 4 18s]

is what i came up with google sketch.. my sketch skills aren't quite that good yet but it should be close to the real deal.. in a few i'll get a picture with all the dimensions and specs up

here ya go.. i'm pretty confident in it and if anyone sees anything wrong feel free to point it out. you might have to save the picture and zoom up on a few of the numbers but other than that it's all clear and readable

if you don't see it just say something and i'll send it to you cause my computer is being stupid right now and it's showing the images EXTREMELY LARGE and idk why and idk if it will do the same to you or not

[Box For Lvl 4 18s]

eezy breezy beezy i could help you out.. only other thing is are you running the lvl 4 or the lvl 4 xl?

edit: ahh shoot nvm i just read your signature.. give me a couple of days and i might have something for ya..

[Box For Lvl 4 18s]

how many subs do you plan on running?

[Old School Pyle Driver Ii's]

So i've had these old ass pyle driver II's laying around for a couple of years now. They are 8" drivers and still work. The thing is they are old as hell and I wouldn't mind selling them but they are in desperate need of a recone before i even considered handing them over to someone else. One of them has a tear in the surround and the other the cone over time has i guess you would say deteriorated and has become paper thin and when with it hits really had sometimes you hear a slapping sound from it. So my question is is there a possibility of getting these things reconed despite their age, or should i build a box for them hook them up to my Mark antony and retire them respectfully if ya know what i mean?

Specs are as followed:

Manuf - PYLE

ID - DW8040/4

RE - 3.1

FS - 51

VAS - 0.01982

QES - 0.34

QMS - 12.42

SD - 0.0215

PE - 120

XMAX - 0.0051

LE - 0.001

DIAM - 8

MMS - 0.0318

BL - 9.639

SENS - 90.878

QTS - 0.3309

ACCEL - 303.1

FRAME - steel

CONE - paper

SURR - foam

RECNO - 751

So what do you guys think?

[T- Line Help.]

Amazin ,,,, have you metered since the new box, My 2-12's were only i DB louder than 1-12 in a t-line.........

no but i wouldn't have anything to compare it to cause i went from 2 12" jackhammers to 1 of them in a t-line but after a week with that sub i stepped up to a fi Q 12 and about a month later i built my kerfed t-line

but when i went from the 2 jackhammers to 1 it was noticeably louder considering the amount of wattage i was running.

[Vaginal Farts!]

i lol, good stuff

take a deep breath and blow him accoss the room

varts aernt bad until your liking some carpet and you get a juicy one...hahahaahahaha (cut to scene of man wiping face off with baby wipe)

[Vaginal Farts!]

One day I came across this video and I laughed my ass off when I first saw it. Hope you guys enjoy!

Can't get the video posted up here for some reason but the link should still work.

[Fi Q12 Kerfed T-line]

Hows it treating you so far?

pretty good and loud i'm real happy with it.

[Fi Q12 Kerfed T-line]

A Fi Q12 in a kerfed t-line in a chevy blazer hooked up to a mark antony MK1500-D amp

enjoy

if it ever warms up i'll go out and get more vids.. i gotta few things i wanna try.. if anyone has any suggestions of different kind of videos to make shout them out and i'll try it and see how it works out for meh.

[T- Line Help.]

I'm not seeing a compression chamber, and I also love how those aren't tapered... is that strictly 1/4 wave taking into acount Fs only for the length, or what all is calculated there... Sd to determine height x width?

the non kerfed box is strictly 1/4 deteremind by the speakers Fs the kerfed t-line the compression chamber is the one along the back but you can't notice it because of the camera angle.

The kerfed t-line isn't like an ordinary t-line, the calculations are completely different of a regular t-line and to me it works so much more efficiently. first it goes loading chamber, expansion, compression, then acceleration. each chamber varies slightly in area.

but yeah the second t-line you see there is strictly 1/4 wave based on the speakers fs of a mtx 12 inch jackhammer and i used the Sd to determine the height and width.

also i forgot to mention on the kerfed t-line the port area is determined off of the actual cone area of a 12 inch speaker and not the sd of that Fi sub.

[T- Line Help.]

a t-line is way different from a regular ported enclosure so your port firing up through the rear deck and wherever you want your speakers to face is going to be real challenging... if you haven't already read the tutorial on the quarter wave t-line do so.. and if you didn't understand it do it again. And you won't be able to build a t-line for both speakers in the back of an impala. Here are a couple of pictures from the t-lines i built for 1 12.

so you can see you have to have ALOT of space to build one of these things and i put these in a blazer and it took up the whole back end. You can go for a t-line but you'd only be able to use one speaker and the port up through the rear deck.. well i don't see that happening. The good thing though is if you can find a single 12 t-line in there it'd probably sound much clearer and if not a little louder the those 2 subs put together in a regular ported box.

As far as your speakers specs i think you'd be good but forever would know more about that than me.

[Anyone Use This Pioneer Model Before?]

You shoulda done a search on it cause someone else here just asked the same question a few weeks ago about how owners of this deck liked it. I own it, it's nice, no pause on remote, can be fixed by using an older Pioneer remote with pause.

yeah i hardly use the remote i have now so i'm not to worried abuot that.. and i'll have to try and look for the other topic.. see what other people wrote about it also..
