did we scare away the great box building god?

box making god? and asking a question on how to figure dimension? you havent even said if its ported or sealed

maybe see if your insurance will cover your system too. if you havent already

its still the same. you just have to do the steps separately like a you want 4 dual 2 subs to get a 1 ohm load. All together you have eight 2 ohm coils first series the coils of each sub together. so you have 2+2=4 for each sub. so now you have four 4 ohm coils, Parallel all of those together and its 4/4= 1 ohm. make sense?

Its pretty easy math when all the subs are the same ohm load. in parallel its just divide the resistance of the coil by the number of coils. two 4 ohm coils- 2... 4/2=2 three 4 ohm coils- 1.33.... 4/3=1.33 four 4 ohm coils- 1...4/4=1 five 4 ohm coils- .8...4/5=.8 series wireing is just adding the coils together two 4 ohm is 8...4+4=8 three 4 ohm is 12...4+4+4=12 four 4 ohm is 16...4+4+4+4=16 just remember that and it gets real easy

how do you have 1000+ posts, and not know how to figure out an ohm load?

my bad for just throwing out sundowns name in that.

wow,.. so not true. i can gain 4 db by facing my box firing rear vs firing forward, i also gain more firing sub forward that firing up.

the gain know only turns the gain up to as high as the actual amp is set at.

i think it already got said a few mins ago, but try it again with the speaker hooked up and see what happens

well it has happened to some ppl.. you got lucky. were your rcas hooked up?

having the speaker wire hooked up but disconnected from the subs is the same a just disconnecting the wires from the amp. In the clamp test for the amps you have to have everything hooked up because its measuring the actual current output. some amps like to fry if you play them with no speaker hooked up. how long were you testing?

Haha... i dont think of paint when i hear about an ice cream paint job...

I just got an email saying partsexpress its making TC sounds drivers more affordable now. http://www.parts-express.com/wizards/searchResults.cfm?srchExt=Mfg&srchMfg=150&utm_source=Retail&utm_medium=Email_Newsletter&utm_content=All+TC+Sounds+Top&utm_campaign=email072210

here is a vid sample of what the Sony wx1 can do. 720p hd vid, and zooming in and out while recording and when i was reading up and looking at reviews, i think i read that canon makes a better picture camera, but sony has better video. (insert spam) btw, vote fritosgirl for system of the month http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/83329-july-2010-sotm-vote-sponsored-by-dc-audio/

so it will do 200 per channel at 1 ohm? or is that a 4 ohm power rating

yea, I run mine at .5 strapped for comps, (.25 per amp) and it does great, it will shut off if my voltage drops too low though. but i used to run them daily on a .5 load to each amp and never had a problem, you should be fine just doing it for comps

I just had this bug too, I went with the sony wx1 its got hd video, you can zoom in and out while it records, panoramic shot, a 10 pic burst shot taking up to 10 pics per second. its only a 10 mega pixel, but i read up on it, and thats all you really need unless you are gonna blow it up to make posters out of the pics you take. I got it mostly for the hd video and the burst shots its 249.99 though. so a little over budget. youll also have to buy a memory stick separately( i didnt know that part) but i got a 8 gig scandisk memory stick for 32 bucks at walmart

yea i tried to watch it in the sweep and it looked like a 145ish.., but that seems a too low. might have to open a door to get a good number that low too.

What does it hit at 20 hz on the meter?

hey, i saw you post in one of my build logs. i know some local guys i compete with that have some equipment forsale if youre still looking. I could also build your box since your local. pm me if you wanna know more about the stuff forsale

I think sundown may be building the Z series 10s now. mach 5 IXLs will do great of that power too, and sound amazing doing it
