  1. gonna buy a new hand gun need some ideas!

    in Guns and Ammo, etc. - guns, tasers, even lasers...all self defense weapons discussed here

    IF the SHTF I'm getting a Kel-tech PLR-22, my buddy got one, such a badass little .22, thing looks beastly...hes got a sling and red dot on it, says its real accurate up to 100 yards....

    If the SHTF, I'm buying a 9mm glock, full size (i got big hands, full frame guns just fit better in my hands, I'm fucking 6'6, so yeah, big ass hands...) never heard of a glock getting fucked, and 9mm ammo is everywhere. Ill also buy a that PLR-22 like my buddy has (and get a drum mag for it iirc they are available), 22s are cheap as fuck, very plentiful, and if you just need to get one shot in the head, doesn't matter if its a .22 or a .50 does it? And AFAIK kel-tec makes reliable firearms, same guy who designed the tec-9

    I dont know many cops who are gun guys to be honest. They just shoot what they are issued. once you start looking into it more you'll find alot of stuff out there that just doesnt make it any better than the 40 at a higher cost to shoot. keep in mind you'll hear one person say it sucks and then another say its the best thing since sliced bread too.

    Heres another thing to look at. If the Shit really does hit the fan and you are scrounging for ammo, what are you more likely to find. 9 40 and 45 or 357 sig etc. if you want a 357 sig by all means enjoy it. Ive got a 10mm just because i wanted it

    trust me, i want the 357 cuz its uncommon, that is one of the reasons, same reason i want a 10mm even though i have a .40 already.

    The cop i talked to was had been on the service for 30 years, he had carried .45s, 9mms, .40s and now the .357 He likes that best cuz it has the ammo capacity and a bit more stopping power (he claims). If were talking zombie guns, 9mm all day, fuck, id even go to a .22, that shit is everywhere, just need to hit them in the head right? I got a lil 22 SW target pistol also....

    hopefully my grandfather lives for a while, but when he goes, i want one of his 2 .44s

    a 9mm barrel can not be changed out for a 45 barrel. however a 45 can be cahnged out for a 9mm

    a glock 32 is a 357 sig. shitty round and expensive to boot. its a necked down 40 not a magnum round. The only 357 worth anything is a magnum. also since you live in a commie state you wont be able to get a concealed permit. especially if obama gets another term. shitty i know but it is what it is.

    There is nothing wrong wtih a 9mm and instead of spreadign your calibers all over the place meaning you need to buy ammo for multiples buy something chambered in what you already have.

    i didn't even notice he's from my shitty state, lol. Obama is fucking us hard. Ive heard good things about the .357auto...i was debating between that, a 9mm and a .40, from what i got from every cop I've talked to, they like the .357

    You know I'm gonna be the devils advocate here. But youre buying all these shtf guns and whatnot. How much training do you have to use these effectively? I know everyone thinks its sooo easy to shoot someone or how they are going to act under that intense acute stress. Have you looked into becoming proficient with these weapons? Also, if you have to buy another handgun (for whatever reason since you already have a couple) id buy a glock 17 9mm. Ammo is cheaper, lighter, and if you do your part is just as effective. People are always like, "oh the 9mm is a pussy round" to which i reply, stand right there and let me shoot you im the chest with this pissy round. Suddenly its not so pussy..

    personally, thats why i prefer shotguns, no, not practical for carrying in a daily scenario, but if the SHTF, ill carry my Browning Gold 12ga or my 870 all day long (gold would be preferred, less recoil, but requires more cleaning, so maybe my benelli semi). I shoot sporting clays, and hunt pheasant and dove, I'm good with a shotgun, decent with a rifle, OK with a handgun, but if i were to carry one of those, id definitely take some courses first....as far as shotguns though, I've made my way up to A class for NSCA

  6. securing enclosure in trunk?

    in Subwoofers / Enclosures

    L-brackets. if not fastened then it can be very dangerous in a car accident

    Edit: didn't read enough. I have a false floor made of 3/4" MDF to drill into that makes fastening boxes better

    they are fastened, just don't really trust them. The frame that holds the back seat is a beast though, all tube steel and held in place by 4 decent sized bolts (the setback itself i mean)... I may look into making a false floor around the box to screw the l brackets too.....i don't have the heigh to give up 3/4 of an inch back there. I know they bit the sheet metal, i just don't know how much i trust them, which is why they are about every 4 inches across the back of my box....

    carpeted box and trunk=box dont move in my car :clapping:

    bullshit it doesn't move, try slamming on your breaks on the highway and see if it doesn't move...friction is not enough, especially if you get into an accident, figure a sheet of MDF at 75lbs, thats a box right there, add in a pair of decent 12s, 20lbs each, thats now a 115lb weight waiting to be thrown when your car goes from moving to stopped in a fraction of a second.

    So what do you guys do to keep your box from sliding around in the trunk?

    Personally, I've got mine held in place by L brackets on every side of it screwed into the body, but some of them are starting to loose their bite i think, i get some side to side movement, but none front to back. I don't wanna screw into my gas tank or anything, and I'm wanting to build a new box and some amp racks...so yeah, what do you guys do to keep your boxes in place?

  10. Theory Question on upgrading power

    in Amplifiers

    Posted

    i was talking power wise. My blazer was at 141-142@37Hz, haven't been able to get my lancer NEAR that....and since I'm in school all the damn time, don't have the time to make the money needed to get it up there. Really wanting to try around with a few things, but not sure how they will turn out.

    then id say your pretty well set for now....im doing the big 3 in a few weeks, then starting to save for a 15 i can run at one ohm, since I'm running my 2 12s at a 2 ohm final load at the amp currently, may work on designing some amp racks if i can find time over the weekends...sucks having all my free time being on the weekends, just glad its looking like it may start cooling off.

    Doubling power can have "meh" results in my experience. Then you have to upgrade your electrical and all that shit....

    Whereas getting more woofers or a new box...now that shit'll make your day better.

    no guarantee a new box will do shit either. Chances are doubling the power from 750 to well over that to each of his 9512s will have a drastic effect. Doubling cone area on the same power is the same as doubling power on the same cone area....in theory....whos to say his electrical isn't stout as it is?

    theory says if you double the power you'll double the output, so in theory you'll see a 3dB increase....but like i said, thats theory, there are way too many variables to take into account to say. ch0sen, you obviously don't know about DD, they will laugh at that amount of power....

  17. $220 Budget for second battery

    in Electrical-battery- Alternators- Wiring

    Posted

    you don't want lead acid batteries, you want AGM, go with xs power, or kinetic, I got my HC1400 for 220 shipped new from sonic.

    go to any retailer and you can get them cheaper.. i got a hc2000 for 200 and some hc2400 for 250

    the oreiley ones are deka batteries so they should be goos and are agm for 159

    well shit, i may be looking into them. and no, the shops around here charge out the ass, i live in the upperclass suburbs of chicago...theres a lot of money here, i used to work for a few different shops, and yeah, they charge out the ass....

  20. a few designs, which one would be best.....

    in Subwoofers / Enclosures

    Posted

    any input on orientation, placement of drivers in sub(s) back port to side, or subs and port back, how far/close to the port should the sub be.... I don't have money for new subs at the moment, but I'm contemplating building them a new box. Either dual chamber, like in the 2nd post, or subs back port to side again, like I've been running for years, which i know gets loud and sounds good, also gives me the most volume and lowest tuning with most port area.....

    Working on a few designs, for the trunk of a 2010 Lancer, base model, seats don't fold.....

    Looking at maybe a single 15" Xcon

    All enclosures are tuned around 33Hz and about 3.5 cubes

    otherideaforsubandportbacknotbuiltyet.jpg

    just the floor plan of the box, if i go that route, where should i position the sub, closer or father away from the port opening?

    or

    348cubes32hzsubbackportside.jpg

    or

    35net32Hzsubandportback1.jpg

    i made sure that the sub isn't lined up with the port for the last one, i can move it over father if need be, but yeah, i know it looks close, but its not lined up with it

  24. Box building time

    in Subwoofers / Enclosures

    Posted

    whats your external dimmensions? Doing 2 separate chambers and a common port, the most i can squeeze out of my car is 3.2-3.5cubes around 35Hz....i could narrow the port, but i don't really want to.... drop below ~15sq/cu

    37w x 15h x 22 1/4d. 2.5" wide for each sub the a 5" main port

    ahh, you got 7 more inches you can run wide than i do. I can get more volume leaving my box subs back port to wheel well, but i was experimenting with other designs, and trying to decide if any are worth building, and was trying to figure out how you got that much space with that design.
