Oooohhh <--Interested. How much $$$ that lil bugger set ya back? Looks chunky. And hooooray for T-lines. I can't wait for an opportunity to throw one together. ForevrBumpin's tutorial is a must see.

Yea Have that one in my pics bin too. EVLMOTR right? i never heard what it did TL wise But i remeber you said "more SD than 5-18's" or some maaadness.

That would be awsome thnx. I'm always intrigued by "crazy 8's" setups. The one you did in the Integra w/ 6AA 8's kinda got me thinkin/reinforced some research I had been doin on the matter.

So I saw this "Thirsty Traveler" show..... They go around finding cool drinks n whatnot, give the history on em etc. saw one on ABSINTHE and how it's making a come back. Told my buddy (Jeff w/ the 2006 HD Truck I built). My Bday was the 26th. Voila. http://www.absinthe.bz/index.html?mv_pc=M-...thex&act_vn

Oh BTW Mr. Ray: Could you please add a pic of said setup? How is the box setup in this case? Just curious. <--box head.

Nice. I like doing the same thing w/ my co workers 4-CVR8's off 400-500rms. They always guess something overboard and see those lil buggers chuggin away they become "believers"....then they ask when I'm free to build a setup like that for them. and the H2....Booooooooooooner! Bring on the build por favor.

No. It "shouldn't". unless you include an actuall "column" or "volume" or air that can resonate at a particualr frequencey, it shouldn't give much if any BP effect. Do you rememeber all the whooplah/crappola about the box I built into Laws trunk being a BP enclosure? Well, I KNEW from the git-go everyone would say that and I KNEW it would have SOME BP characteristics (peaky on some notes/high and low like a BP) and it would thus MAXIMIZE the freq's that he'd want louder. Kinda making up for the lower power avail to the subs. The open end is what really keeps it from being a true BP. So without tubes/rectangle ports/or any volume of air to resonate, just making holes in ur rear deck will only let it breath into the cabin better-Like I did on the LEXUS, which now does a 145db on the epic- 160, despite the subs being as faaar away as possible and only breathing thru the deck.

HAHA thnx. that was quick. I like the stagger/countersink. Looks big for 3-8's but You did say rec'd sealed w/ QTC .707 so I guess I can see it. should sound really nice off that 500/1. hopefully funneled forward somehow? or just mat the hell outta the trunk?

<--looking & waiting on the box pics Decent lookin stang...But i'm not a fan.

Almost. 2-4ga cables = 1-2ga wire 2-2ga wires = 1-1ga 2-1ga wires = 1-0ga if it's "really" what it says it is, in any case... Some cable will be over/under marked. If you had 3 overkill 4ga that would be close to = 1/0ga. In either case, Megalo is correct on the NOT needing more cable, 1200rms is fine off 4ga. what 1200watt amp says it "requires" 1/0ga is my Q? If you want to and have the cable u'd be fine doubleing the cable up and running another one but actually GETTING IT INTO THE AMP...cleanly might be an issue. Maybe consider a reducer.

Lawrence (The Law here on smd) is selling a ea4000 for $275 BNIB I think.

Not sure what ur askin here bro. Might need to clarify some of it. "Double the 4ga"...going to the one 1200rms amp? or add a 4ga for another amp? or you saying add another amp to the existing 4ga? Very unclear here. Also, port should either be same side as subs or port back and subs 90 degress off as in sub up port back or sub back port up. This is to avoid cancellation.

How much for just the subs. And pics please.

HAHA then the pix roll. Ask and thou shalt receive. Dont you mean ampS? And the onboard charger is a sick idea. I likes.

"whwrre'z da huundle?" "Someday this will all be urs" "It's not that easy guys" "Imma baby that doubles down" "Imma giant, vomit breathing, DRAGON!" "DAMNIT SS'S!" "I want THAT! The acidy vemon>?! I want it!" "Why not me?" Hiest monkey! And su-fi mutha F'ers.

Looks quite nice. Any pics of whats behind the plexi? as in the mounting hardware and whatnot? and is that plexi smoked? It looks it.

LOUD!.... At ALLLLL COSTS! As in "Homie I dun curr how distorted and terrible it sounds I just need that sh*t louder than dood down the skreet!" "Oh yea and make it as GAWDY and crazy lookin as you can w/ no real plan on it soundin "good" other than loud. Thanx dawg"

west marine sells all kinds of colors of resin pigment too, for making boats outta glass that never need painting or less painting anyhoo.

I blame alcohol. One decimal spot and I guess shoudln't do math late after drinkin and resin fumes haha. Still.

THANK YOU for the correction. Even more impressive that way.

Shops lookin VERY nice Ray and Company. Makes me want to head down to fresno to meet the MAN hisself. And maybe get some (4) SX 12's?

Well those pics answer my Q from a page back or 2 about securing the walls to the outer walls of the enclosure. Nice. "And the award for MOST AUDIO EQUIPMENT and DOPE ASS GEAR crammed into a vehicle goes to....STEVE MEADE AND CHICKEN!" Nice photochop too.

Pi x R^2 .....(3.14X81)=254.57in^2 (254.57in^2)x8=20,620.2857in^2 ***EDIT*** Xmax on a fully Loaded BTL18 w/ Hixmax option would be 27mm I'm told. 27mm=1.10" so...If SD=20,620.2857in^2 and xmax is 1.10"... 20,620.2857in^2 X 1.10"=22,724.396in^3 22,724.396/1728=13.15069 CUBIC FEET......OVER 13cubic feet ONE WAY! SO.... On each ocillation/cycle (full stroke forward and back).... These 8-18's will move OVER 26cubic feet worth of air to the tune of what ever frequency you like BEST! Or roughly Twice what Steves Tahoe will do OUCH!

Don't need to be ashamed about it-It takes hard work to "escape" the mainstream. The fact that you are HERE, is a great start and you will be exposed to the "non-mainstream" or dare i say underground. The good stuff always starts out underground and werks it's way into the mainstream...AND DIES! The ones that stay true to the REAL, underground ideas, will always have a better product IMO. Sadly I think TC is sellin out to survive. In the end, its about survival for them and it IS business, but I REALLY wish they could find a way to avoid the price hike and essentiall "Punking out" on the online customers.
