[Cold weather]

What about the other question, can SPL numbers go up even if the bass 'sounds' lower?

[Welcome Autumn with a Broom Trick!!]

I gotta try it for myself.

[Cold weather]

Read alot about people at SPL comps turnin on the A/C before a run, supposed to help their number. I live in Germany and when it gets cold (70 last week, 39 today, WTF) my shit doesn't get as 'loud'. I haven't tried a meter here. Can SPL go up and audible loudness go down at the same time?

[Noob needs Design]

Single 15 good, 2000 watts good, sealed box bad. Go ported if you want LOUD.

[Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?]

Dude why?

[Whats 15'' Sub Is Better?]

Thats right. What amp you plan on using?

[Whats 15'' Sub Is Better?]

is the Fi BTL 15'' better than the ORION HCCA-15.2? im debating between these two... cuz i just saw a pretty good deal on the orion... what do u guys think?

How good a deal?

[Help me make up my mind!]

Kicker zx1000 or zx1500 if you can afford it, perfect match for the Alpines IMO.

[Clipping by Ear]

What will die first, amp or subs?

[Clipping by Ear]

if gain and basss boost are maxed it is clipping .

Most people cant hear even heavy clipping.

They can hear their subs crying, but that is wayyyyyyyyyy too far already.

Grab a scope and check the wave.

If its not clipping with deck flat at 75% with gains 100% and bass boost 100% Ill paypal you 25.00

You wouldn't think so, but his shit sounds good, Damn good. I'll try to get my hands on a scope and hopefully make $25 Lol:nea:

^^^+1

What about the sub output level on the deck?

11 of 15

[Clipping by Ear]

This question has probably been asked somewhere, but here it goes. If the gain and bass boost is maxed out on an amp, the volume set at 75%, deck eq bass flat, and there is no audible distortion and niether the amp or subs heat up, can there still be clipping happening. This is how a friends ride is setup and he bangs hours at a time with no problems. Opinions?

Sorry for the long question

[Damn Cops...RAWR!]

Ive lost count of how many tickets and warnings Ive got. It's all good, keep bangin.

[Alpine Type R]

Had a build with 2 12Type Rs, sealed at .9 cubes each. Hooked up to a Kicker zx1000 and a 6 farad cap. For the price of the setup, it is a beast. Whole-car flex, rear window and roof gets crazy. Even a tiny bit on the steering wheel below 30hz, remember sealed. Mad flex and LOUD AS FUCK 38-46hz. I sold the car when I got the new one, but the dude is around here. I'll post vids (if I can figure out how to do it) at least pics on the Builds thread in a couple days. Got these subs new $100 each, show me a better value.

EDIT: Car is a 2000 Mustang

[Good deal???]

It sounds like you're in a rush to get some bump, so go for it. I will tell you now, start savin up cause when you hear some better setups and you REALLY get the bug , you're gonna want to upgrade.

[If You Got Songs U Want Screwed Slowed Down Request Them Here]

I think ill stick with Decaf's and Pimpin's stuff, thank you.

[If You Got Songs U Want Screwed Slowed Down Request Them Here]

Do you really not know what a clipped signal is? Im not going to say im the expert, but its bad and can do alot of damage to equipment.

[SUB and AMP HELP NEEDED!!!]

Dude, save some money and get somthing a little more high end. Take your time and do the build piece by piece. You'll be happier in the long run. Don't touch Boss or Crunch, and Pioneer is only good for head unts IMO.

Clipped Bad

[Please Pray]

Damn shitty. My grandma had cancer for 12 years before she lost the battle. There were always those times when we thought she could beat it. The thing your girl needs most is your support (and her families) and positive thinking to be motivated to do whatever it takes to beat it

[Ditched 12's, going 15]

3 Words..... Rear seat Delete

Mustangs don't have ANY room in the rear, unless the new ones changed. You could do 2 15's, 6 cubes not have to worry about taking a ton of people in your car, complaining about being squished and you can still feel your music, like music is supposed to be felt. Haha.. Make a false floor for your amps in the trunk, so you still have a place to put all your stuff, or friends... Whichever has priority.... My $.02

Nice thing about a rear seat delete is you don't really have to ruin or cut anything... You may end up with a couple holes in the floor, as the box should be bolted down, but there's other ways to secure the box too. Rear seat delete is just a box and beauty panels. If you wanna pull it out, it will only take a couple hours, throw your rear seat in, throw a box with a ten or two in the trunk on top of the false floor and you still got a nice little setup.

EDIT: Not talkin about a 'wall' .... If you design your setup to be able to fit out the door by taking a seat out, or both, versus destroying the box... Then it won't take long to reverse*

I would love to. But YOU try getting that passed by my wife...

[Ditched 12's, going 15]

i was twelves, went 15's going back to 12's

I may have to rethink the whole setup, new amp and find the right subs

[Ditched 12's, going 15]

closest i got is 2.8cuft w/ 2 4" aeroports 17" long tuned to 34.85hz.... 67hz tuning would make it 3cuft, lol

67hz

u need more room

I know, terrible

[Ditched 12's, going 15]

I could attept an odd shaped multi sided box and do alot of experimenting, sounds like fun.

[Ditched 12's, going 15]

Im going with a single 15" nightshade. I need to build a box with at least 3 cubes. Problem (once again) is space. MAX dimensions can be H 12.5" W 34" D18". I need help building a box, mainly with port dimensions. I've tried the box calculator programs, but i'm stumped on port tuning. I would appreciate any help from experienced box builders. BTW, the sub will have to be top loaded. Would also consider triangular/wedge designs. I wish you all could see this trunk, not much smaller than previous generation, but many angles and slopes.
