    have fun with that... i just looked in a jetta's trunk like 2 days ago and it was pretty damn small. i really dont think your gonna have room for a box big enough for an 18 AND batteries AND amp(s). I could barely fit my box (4 cubes after displacements) into my buick regal, which has a larger trunk than a jetta. i think a 15 for a jetta would be more appropriate, maybe even a 12. but good luck. i hope you can pull it off.

    Aluminum coils are lighter weight than copper and thus can be more efficient.

    Copper can dissipate heat a lil better and thus can take a bit more current.

    As far as musicality to your ears, you will most likely never hear a difference.

    i like blunt, straight forward answers. thank you Ed

  10. what would u do?

    today i had some guy try to tell me his 2 Dual 12" subs and infinity "2600 watts" amp compared to my Fi BL 15 and my hifonics brutus 2608d. it was the autozone guy that was testing my alternator to make sure it didnt have any bad diodes. i just let it go and let him think what he wanted, but i really wanted to inform him that a "2600" watt infinity amp is probably only pushing 500 rms and that his duals are just straight up trash and would never hold up on 1300 rms each. or the fact that a stock alt/bat would never be able to maintain 2600 watts rms any day. was it right of me to just let it go and let him be ignorant about his shitty best buy equipment? or should i have put him in his place and told him that his system is the king of busty ass systems? what would u do in a situation like that? cuz it seems like the noobier someone is in car audio, the more they think that their shitty systems rock everyone elses. or maybe its just me...

    If you are 30 or older you will think this is hilarious!!!!

    When I was a kid, adults used to bore me to tears with their tedious diatribes about how hard things were. When they were growing up; what with walking Twenty-five miles to school every morning....Uphill... barefoot...BOTH ways! And I remember promising myself that when I grew up, there was no way in hell I was going to lay a bunch of crap like that on my kids about how hard I had it and how easy they've got it! But now that... I'm over the ripe old age of thirty, I can't help but look around and notice the youth of today. You've got it so easy! I mean, compared to my childhood, you live in a damn Utopia!

    And I hate to say it, but you kids today, you don't know how good you've got it!

    *I mean, when I was a kid we didn't have The Internet. If we wanted to know something, we had to go to the damn library and look it up ourselves, in the card catalogue!!

    *There was no email!! We had to actually write somebody a letter - with a pen!

    *Then you had to walk all the way across the street and put it in the mailbox and it would take, like, a week to get there! Stamps were 10 cents!

    *Child Protective Services didn't care if our parents beat us. As a matter of fact, the parents of all my friends also had permission to kick our ass! Nowhere was safe!

    *There were no MP3' s or Napsters! If you wanted to steal music, you had to hitchhike to the damn record store and shoplift it yourself!

    *Or you had to wait around all day to tape it off the radio and the DJ would usually talk over the beginning and @#*% it all up! There were no CD players! We had tape decks in our car. We'd play our favorite tape and "eject" it when finished and the tape would come undone. Cause - that's how we rolled, dig?

    *We didn't have fancy crap like Call Waiting! If you were on the phone and somebody else called they got a busy signal, that's it!

    *And we didn't have fancy Caller ID either!

    When the phone rang, you had no idea who it was! It could be your school, your mom, your boss, your bookie, your drug dealer, a collections agent, you just didn't know!!! You had to pick it up and take your chances, mister!

    *We didn't have any fancy Sony Playstation video games with high-resolution 3-D graphics! We had the Atari 2600! With games like 'Space Invaders' and 'Asteroids'. Your guy was a little square! You actually had to use your imagination!! And there were no multiple levels or screens, it was just one screen... forever!

    And you could never win. The game just kept getting harder and harder and faster and faster until you died! Just like LIFE!

    *You had to use a little book called a TV Guide to find out what was on! You were screwed when it came to channel surfing! You had to get off your ass and walk over to the TV to change the channel! NO REMOTES!!!

    *There was no Cartoon Network either! You could only get cartoons on Saturday Morning. Do you hear what I'm saying!?! We had to wait ALL WEEK for cartoons, you spoiled little brat!

    *And we didn't have microwaves, if we wanted to heat something up we had to use the stove! Imagine that!

    *That's exactly what I'm talking about! You kids today have got it too easy. You're spoiled. You guys wouldn't have lasted five minutes back in 1980 or before!

    alright champion, every next generation for the past i dont fucking know how long has had an easier, more luxurious life than their previous generation. its called technological advancement and smart people that realize theres a market for useful shit and entertainment. i dont know if you are ranting, but it sure sounds like it. stop crying. were not spoiled. maybe you just were deprived. u were used to a shitty boring life, and i am used to sitting on my throne living out of my parents house. and the generation after mine will probably have an even better life than mine. you say i couldnt handle the 80s? well im sure your parents would tell you that you couldnt handle the 50s. so this thread is :bsflag:

  25. got the edge of my mdf wet...

    in Subwoofers / Enclosures

    Posted

    im building my box in my basement and i must have left my wet rag too close to the box. at the edge of my bottom plate theres water saturated into the mdf, but its not that big of a spot. its about the size of my thumb, and the mdf has swelled slightly. i clamped down a dry towel really tight on the wet spot to try and soak it up. am i screwed? its wet right where i need to glue the front baffle onto the bottom plate. im assuming it will dry up eventually, but i dont know as this is the first encounter ive had with water soaking into mdf. anyone have any idea if itll be alright or not?
