there's also a sticky thread in one of the subforums with pretty much every audio related term with a definition

Thanks Torres for the reply. I went to Home Depot and those clamps are like $20 bucks a pop! Too expensive for me since I wont be using them often. So glue first, then predrill then drill each panel at a time? Do I start off gluing the back to the bottom first then the sides or is there a specific order? oh wow yeah that's pricey. they have them at harbor freight for much much cheaper. but yeah i'd also start with the bottom piece, then the sides and the port then slap the top on. definitely predrill or you'll be splitting lots of wood

a jig saw will get the job done. the specs should have the cutout diameter for the sub then use a tape measure/compass to map out the circle. and clamps aren't really expensive, but you do need a drill and some wood glue to keep it assembled

ah well that's not too too bad. i just finished one for a member on here, and i have another lined up for one of my friends. may try a bandpass with it, she just wants bass back in her car so any bass will be fine for her- 12 replies

What things are need for a Kindle or iPad install??
Torres replied to ilovebass808's topic in Head Units-Processors and Eq's
tape off the ipad completely and make a fiberglass mold for it. then make a faceplate for the front of the screen, then glass the mold to the faceplate. make sure it slides in and out easily enough. i also recommend putting a felt type fabric on the inside of the mold to prevent scratches -

musically, going below 1 ohm is not necessary or beneficial -
sure, it could move air and meter decently, but how does it sound for daily music? as in normal music that's not slowed down or altered

SMD DD-1 and CC-1 testing
Torres replied to audiofanaticz's topic in SMD Crossover Callibrator (CC-1) Topics
i'm aware that the knob position doesn't mean anything, but given that you simply turned it down to avoid clipping i was curious as to how you were sure that the signal was correctly matched, as in voltage-wise. say one is at 9.5 volts, then another is at 10.2 volts. you could have turned it down two or three or four times as much and it still wouldn't be clipping. but then chances are they wouldn't be fully matched. but that last part with the CC-1 answered my question if it detects it with the light. i plan on getting the CC-1 eventually, but if i have to set multiple amps before then, i'm going to use a DMM in conjunction to ensure that they are all not clipping, and that the voltage is set the same. basically what i was curious about -
SMD DD-1 and CC-1 testing
Torres replied to audiofanaticz's topic in SMD Crossover Callibrator (CC-1) Topics
good vid. but one thing i have a question about is when doing more than one amp/channel to match up with, wouldn't you want to use a DMM in conjunction in order to make sure they're fully matched? sure, they're not distorting, but the physical position of the gain may be slightly off causing different readings on a DMM. it may not even be much to matter, but something i've been curious about. i brought it up in another thread a while ago, but never saw a reply about it. and sure, it's just a demonstration of the products themselves, but just asking regardless since i don't have any equipment to try it on myself lol -
Amazon.com up to 50% off indoor tools.Which router?
Torres replied to Real96SS's topic in TOOLS and TESTING Devices
you'll definitely want a plunge router. or a fixed base with a plunge attachment included. i got a ryobi one, but it still does everything i need it to do just fine, and with ease. kinda wanna get a better quality one tho. it's loose and when i go to tighten it after i plunge it in the right depth, it slightly shifts. makes lil divots i guess you could call em in rings when i do em. little sanding fixes that, but still -

i've used this method before. few years back. also used the grommets. both worked well for me. box was also very braced -
Best way to clean a hat
Torres replied to LT.Smoke's topic in Off Topic - Random, Misc posts - the forum "Junk Drawer"
About your hat in the dishwasher...would you put you're dishes in the washing machine? I thought the same thing before, but it's different detergent. They have hat shapers that supposedly keep the shape, but they don't work well. My best advice is to do it by hand -

First box in 15 years, Here are the specs
Torres replied to Smoove's topic in Subwoofers / Enclosures
definitely need more port area. and bigger ports vs more, smaller ports -
close. it's 2.842 cubic feet

he's joking. i thought it might be a typo and meant 40 hz, but his current box is tuned to 31 hz. please don't try to tune a box to 4 hz lol and please don't buy a random box and call it a day
