I have a JL 1000/1 V.2 Slash, you'll need to upgrade your alt, the damn thing pulls over 100 amps. I'd go with the hifonics, I'm considering changing mine to the hifonics because of the current draw.

Good thing its 64 bit then.
-
Sometimes, if it was an option on the laptop, its possible to find one, it wont be cheap though.
-
I have 24 gigs in my main machine, and all my laptops have 8. I RARELY see it go over 8, I even have the pagefile off.

Comcast just raised their top tier to 300 mbit/sec

Steve, love your build, looks amazing. Woodworking is awesome.
Are those 120mm in the sides?
If so, the fans they use in Dell's seem to move more air, but they're a bit thicker than a standard 120mm fan
Model is ARC1212DE
Dell PN is Y4574
If you want to get a hold of some let me know. I've found they work better than most standard sized fans.
Keep up the good work, map props.
Couldnt tell from the vid, but looks good man!

20hz for movies?! Shittttt, that's going below 10Hz!
I think you misread, he said hit down to 20hz, not tune to.
That's what I mean, if he wants to have the movie theatre experience, movies can get down to 7hz and below. Just my my .02
My HT sub is an old 15" MTX in a 15.5 cubic foot box tuned to 20hz
Most plate amps wont play below 20 hz
How do you figure they won't play below 20 Hz? All car audio amps say they don't play below 20Hz, but you still see people slapping away 9hz and 15hz test tones. Sanitarium and Gary Killian are prime examples of that right there.
Well I know my reciever only plays to 20hz on the frequency range.

Oh. The registry is not some magical mythical being. Its pretty easy to understand and all I would do in there is to delete some boot items in hklm and hkcu.

Ram. posting the specs would help
He doesn't want to buy any hardware for the computer, just clean it up and make it run good.
Still specs would help.
regedit.

HP DV series used to have overheating problems, I believe there was a class action lawsuit about it.
Asus is awesome, So is Sager

You can slot port a HT box. The ones that are areo ported are usually tuned WAY higher
With an 8 a T line would be awesome, it all depends on what you're going for with your design.
Do you want it to POUND out some music? Do you want it to sound flat on music, but hit down to 20hz for movies?
Do you want the best of both?
A T line is the most efficent box, and is usually overlooked in car audio but works amazing in home audio because of the large box design. With an 8, it wouldnt even have to be that big.
-
First you have to realize that you're not going to get very high output out of it, and probably will max out at 200 watts in a ported box (at most depending on the driver you choose).
That being said you can run it sealed in pretty much any enclosure. PE is pretty good about supplying T&S parameters.
As far as using a 6.5 as a subwoofer, with that little airspace, you COULD port it, but your output would be low under 40 hz, even if you tuned it low.
Your best bet is just to seal the enclosure and fill it with fiberfill, it will give you the best and cleanest response for your airspace. Even if you dont have the correct TS, it takes a lot to be off by that much in a sealed box.
With the top down I dont even know if you could hear it.
Pinoeer makes a small under the seat powered enclosure with a passive radiator that may be better suited to your situation.

So have I, but it was way back in the day when memory was SUPER expensive.
-
So do I, and I was joking
-
No dude, 4gb of ram, a 32 gb pagefile and you need a 690 GTX to keep up with that CPU.
-
Geez, I'm trying to make it to 300 to post noodz. lol
Anyway, all of those do different things with different subwoofers, tuning will be different and so will the sound.

Since it doesn't seem your a hard core gamer I would honestly try and find like a 8800GT. Older card but VERY nice. Bet you can find one cheap. No need to go and get a brand spankin new card.
285GTX is like a 5 year old card ;-p

Great, thanks for the help. I was not aware of the backward compatability. Just to confirm I can get any generation PCI-E card and use it in my system but it will simply be limited to a slower BUS speed ?
The CPU is pretty decent... Core-2 model overclocked to 3.0 Ghz and the system has 4GB of RAM.
The PSU may be adequate as I recall it being a very large unit and I'm pretty picky on power supplies (of course they change so much anymore!) -- but I will check for sure.
Unless you're running the latest gen processor, you wont notice a difference in terms of PCI-E bus speed.
To put the CPU bottleneck in perspective, I went from an overclocked E8400 with 6 megs of cach @3.6ghz to a i3 @ 3.8ghz and my FPS increased by almost 80, though you will see a HUGE jump in preformace as the 285 is almost as fast as a 470 at 1920x1080
I also have a E8400 I can send you if you want it.
-
All versions of PCI-E are backward compatible. Depending on your CPU, it will bottleneck the card. A nice (and cheap) upgrade from the 7800 would be a Geforce GTX 285 from ebay, they're very fast and usually 120-150. Memory bus speed is 512 bit and they have 1gb of vram. I would also look into upgrading memory if you havent already. To use that card you might have to upgrade power supplies, at least 500 watts, single rail would be nice.

Handbrake is multithreaded and 64 bit, its the fastest one I've seen on a good computer.

I've seen good results from the kenwood waveforms. Pretty much anything with a stiff cone will give you better results.

They also said that it was the most difficult laptop to take apart ever.
The batteries are glued in
The RAM is soldiered to the motherboard
and the SSD will ONLY work in a MAC.
in otherwords, you cant upgrade shit, you just have to buy a new one.
