Maybe have a section with archived issues of the printed mags.

Its like "The Price is Right"

Take pictures of the settings and keep them on file.

Sorry, putting your balls on another man, and trying to stick something up his ass, all I can say is:

Going from sealed to ported is usually not as easy as just punching a couple of holes in the box and putting in some ports. You would be better off building a new box that is designed from the ground up to be ported. And yes, a properly designed ported enclosure should be louder.

Check out the tutorial, it should answer all your questions. It even has the formula's you need to do your calculations. DIYSubwoofers.org

I get my copper bars from McMaster-Carr

With a 1000 watt amp, you don't need a bigger alternator just yet. Do the Big 3 in 1/0 gauge and add a 2nd battery close to where the amp is installed. Make sure your grounds are good (to the frame). If the battery up front is questionable, replace that as well. With all that done, monitor your voltage, if you are still getting too much voltage drop, then think about a better alternator.

I got the need, the need for speed! Nice!

Sounds like your amp is in need of repair. On top of that, disconnect your subs and check the coils with a DMM to see if they are shorted.

just trim a few "hairs" off until it fits.

I'm an older guy who listens to rock and I'm putting in 2 15" Nightshades and 6000 watts. Why? Because I can.

I saw the Division Bell tour at Dolphin Stadium in Miami. Awesome show, we had seats down on the floor (football field) right next to the sound booth. The sound was incredible, and even more incredible was the laser show. It rained the entire show, so the gold lasers they were using had a great effect as the rain fell through them and the beams were hitting the storm clouds. And for the record yes, I was high as a kite.

Nothing wrong there, true statement. I even stated in my post that I agreed it was in the wrong section. That is the part I thought was uncalled for. He was just making a statement, not trying to teach you anything. Lighten up a little. There are more important things to worry about than someone posting in the wrong section.

Although I agree that this thread should be in the electrical section, his response was immature and completely uncalled for.

Somebody must have pissed in his wheaties.

Me!

Did you remove anything or just add an additional ground? Also, ground to the frame, not thin body panels.

Its a shame the customer wouldn't take your advice on different drivers. That being said, the install job is sweet. I love how it looks with the cables run properly like that.

Check out the Continental Runflats, I love mine.

I thought that X1 meant times 1 and X10 meant times 10, so what ever the dial was at you multiply by one or by ten.

The lightning bolts add just that right touch. That is an awesome display of mother natures power right there.

If I were you, I'd take the offer from DD.

I'm gonna take a guess and say that he needs the T/S parameters to model an enclosure?

Unfortunately the best way to learn is hands on practice. If you think your soldering skills are what made it fail, practice up on your soldering. Do you have any old circuit boards lying around? Just starting pulling stuff and soldering it back in. Get a bunch of small wire, cut it into small lengths and practice soldering them together. Stuff like that. Then apply that to your next recone.
