Hey Jazza, and others, check this out....
I was on a very interesting website a while back, and here's what I found >
8.If your not interested in a killing people decibel level, and are more interested in awesome sound quality you can put the woofers in different size boxes. So for example say you have 4 cubic feet in total and 2 woofers, instead of putting each in a 2 cubic foot box, make one side 1 cubic foot and the other in a 3 cubic foot box, this will make the 1st woofer will better play the high pitched bass from 60 to 200 hertz, the other will better play the superdeep 20 to 50 hertz bass. This will happen automatically without any additional equalizers, crossovers or filters from your amplifiers. Your total db level will go down, but your sound quality will go way up. Even better would be to port tune the 2nd larger box from 18 to 26 hertz for that vibration bass. In general you can make 1 side from 2 times bigger or 3 times bigger than the other. So for example say you have X cubic feet in total, then the small side is X divided by 4 = (X/4) cubic feet, then the rest of the box is for the other woofer.......so then, I posted this on another car audio website site (which I have since deleted the link in my favorites for) and they all acted like that website was totally lame.... this idea was totally lame.... and their 15 year old punk asses knew more... what ev.
Anyway, it makes all the sense in the world to me, to have one ported, and one sealed..... or at least one in a larger enclosure, and one smaller (for an SQ setup that is). In fact, I had even been considering trying this myself....
Oh, if your interested in checking out the rest of that website, here's a link; http://www.makeitlouder.com/carstereo.html
Peace,

Heres a short vidhttp://au.youtube.com/watch?v=hNwRtFTEGck
sorry about the quality as carmera is old and sounds like crap but the subs sound a whole lot better in real life. I only had the volume half as neighbours complain alot. (bithces)
and dont pay any attenion to the wires behind the box there only like that due to there rust in the spare wheel well and im getting in fixed soon.

Right on :-) Like I always say, "Even on the days when you don't catch anything, its still beats the $#!+ out of work" ! :-)
Peace,

I do a lot of pond fishing here in Iowa for Bass. Love catfishing the rivers for Channel Cat! Actually went fishing earlier today! Nothing biting but I did put back a few beers. -
Thanks guys. All of your shots look really nice too :-) Is digital photography great, or what ? It just makes the whole photography thing so conveniant, and easy !
Hey Gearstix, I have 7 cameras, but most of the stuff on my photo website was taken with an old Fuji S7000 point and shoot {maybe the best point and shoot in its day, but its a discontinued dinosuar now... about 5 years old}
I do all of my fish photography (most of it, of myself, by myself, with self timer, and pre-programming features) with my Canon A series ! I LOVE those cameras. I have an A630, A640, and A650's.
And last year I bought an Olympus E510 digital SLR. It does a fine job too.
Anyway, I wish I had more time for photography..... But then I have this serious fishing addiction to deal with......
Oh well.
Peace,
Fish
PS, Hey Cunokyle, no, but since I have my own website, with unlimited space, I just make up seperate pages for whatever I want to post, upload my stuff to their, and link to those images from any other website. Peace.....

Thanks guys. Hey Shyne, it really just depends..... I fish all over Nor Cal, freshwater, saltwater, and in-between :-) This time of year I do most of my fishing right here close to home, in the Suisun, and Montezuma sloughs. I've caught most of my biggest Sturgies within 8 or 10 miles from my doorstep :-) Then, most of my biggest Largemouths are from the trout-fed ponds, like San Pablo, Rancho Seco, Coyote, etc. I love Bodega Bay in the Summer too. The Halibut are mombastic, and the Bat Rays are the strongest things I've ever hooked and fought ! :-)
Anyway, "fishing time won't find you" ! You just gotta' make it happen ! :-) For me I just put less important things aside (like work ;-) LOL
Peace,
Fish

I'm a wannabe pro :-) I've actually gotten paid for a few shots, but what was funny, was I didn't even consider those to be my best ! Anyway.....
Here's a few of my favorite shots within the last year or so;
Here's a bunch of my older stuff; http://www.trophybassonly.com/id182.htm
Hope you like it. If your into photography yourself, I'd love to see your work as well.
Peace,

I'm new here, but Namosh had said he challenged me to a fish off :-)
Well first off, I just have to say, I've been really blessed with a lot of great fishing opportunities, plus I get to fish a LOT ! I've averaged about 1200 hours a year, on the water, for the last 12 years.
And as I always tell people, anybody who spends that much time on the water > had better stick a few good ones every now and again...... and if not, then maybe they should take up a different past time :-)
Anyway, I guess my claim to fame is in catching giant Largemouth bass. To date, I've caught 87 Largemouth's over 10 lbs, 17 of which were over 13 lbs, 6 of those were over 15 lbs, and my PB is the Rancho Seco Lk. record of 18.4 lbs (only a few ounces shy of the largest bass ever caught in Nor Cal (#4 or 5 I believe).
I've also caught 5 Smallmouths over 7 lbs, with a PB of 8.5 lbs.
Their might be another angler or two who has caught more big Largemouths than me, from Nor Cal, but I've yet to have somebody show me a photo list of each one. Here's mine; http://www.trophybassonly.com/id94.htm {btw, this is actually a hidden link that you would not see if you went to my website. On my regular site, you would see my photos, mixed throughout hundreds of other anglers big bass photos}
But in reality, I will / do fish for any species that will bite my hook. I LOVE catching big Sturgeon too :-) Plus Catfish, Halibut, Leopard Sharks, Batrays, Stripers, Carp, etc, etc :-)
Anyway, here's a few big ones.....
15.6 lbs
18.4 lbs
8.5 lb Smallmouth
A nice 25.2 lb Cali Halibut
31.2 lbs
71", caught on a super micro-light bluegill pole. Fight time; 2 hours 10 minutes
Only 72", but with a 35" girth ! Aprox 155 lbs
100" length, 46" girth, chart weight 312 lbs
Anyway, like I said, I like to fish :-)
Peace,
Fish Chris

Is their an expected completetion date of this project (the most outrageous car audio system I've ever heard of) ???
What's REALLY cool, is that I live about 45 minutes from Sac, so I'm hoping that someday soon I'll be able to see / hear it in person :-)
Thanks,
Fish
How About Photography ?

Right on.
BTW, this will be the "really short explanation" {they go on and on about this on the photography forums} but more MP's is not always better. A lot of serious photographers are pissed off that cameras which used to be 5 or 6 mp's, are now 8 or 10. It has to do with "too many MP's, on the same "small" photo sensors. In short, quality is lost.
That said, I do a lot of LARGE printing, and I'm somewhat of an MP hound :-) ......but then again, I'm usually the oddball anyway.... regardless of the venue :-) Oh well.
Peace,
Fish
