Oh ok, just didn't know if you wanted to save space and all that. That's the only reason I had my 8s...it would be cool to see a big Scion build on here.
-
Looks good! But Xplod
For a first build I think it's pretty kickass.
@ the OP: does it pound for what it is? Some people get big numbers out of Xplods.
-
Damn...I had some like-new Kicker CVR8s but I sold those off a while ago. If you wanna stick with 8s, there's a surprisingly high number of choices...
-
More pics! Especially of the subs...what do you have in there?
-
Why have you not been in Truckin' magazine several times over? (or similar)
-
Newegg.com is a great place to get computer parts.
(yes they are all sold out right now but it's a popular card)
-
Yep...first time I tried I got many bluescreens. It's all about feeding the processor (and memory if you're going extreme) enough voltage.
But yeah I would go with the 5850 in your case. 5870 if you really wanted, but the 5850 will do work.
-
Core i9 looks promising for that.
And the GTX 285 isn't a terrible decision. DX11 is coming out, but the first DX10 card came out in 2006 and look how long it took for that to take hold. Nvidia's drivers will always trump the Catalyst software. Really though it comes down to preference. I've always liked Nvidia but Ati is tempting me with the 5000 series. There's a little more game support for Nvidia too, but that's not a really large factor anymore.
Overclocking is taking stock hardware and configuring it to run at a higher frequency than it did when it left the factory. For example, my CPU was 3.16GHz stock, but through some tweaks in the motherboard's BIOS (built-in settings 'menu' on the motherboard, if you will) I was able to get it to 4.13GHz and I'm not done yet.
-
I built mine over time...it shows. Haha I have an E8500 at 4.13GHz which is nice, but an 8800GTX video card. (Older but still holds it own)
I helped out another user with this...if you're gonna space out your purchases, start with a good motherboard/cpu/memory foundation and work on the video card and other peripherals after. You won't regret going this route, because starting with a fast cpu and memory will allow you to see more of the performance of a later-generation video card.

well i was thinking about dual 24" screens
and s15 it will be a gamein computer (wow stuff like that) and my every day computer
and im not goin 2 use some shity speakers on my sound card lol
If you're going with dual 24s I would definitely say something like a 5870 if you can afford it ($450+) or a 5850 (~$300). You could also go with a GTX 275 or 285 and have no problem. (about the same price range) And if you've got good speakers, dropping $80 on a sound card will bring a lot more out of them than onboard sound ever will.
-
I'm running a Harman/Kardon speaker setup and Sennheiser headphones...with that stuff at least I notice a big difference. (Using the onboard of an ASUS P5Q Pro vs. the ASUS Xonar D1 dedicated)
-
The i7 920 and 9800GTX are both older models that have been replaced by better stuff at similar prices. I agree with Moti that the performance difference between a 1156-based computer and a 1366-based one isn't enough to justify the price difference. 6GB of ram is the sweet spot for i7-based systems, and I would stick with 4GB or MAYBE 8GB for an i5 setup. (the i7 uses a triple-channel memory controller, meaning your memory should be in multiples of 3. The i5 has a dual-channel one, so your memory will be the typical 2/4/8/etc GB setup.)
If you let us know what you plan on doing with this machine it'll help...you only NEED Tri-SLi if you're running 2 or 3 large (1920x1200) displays.
@Moti: A sound card is always a good idea if you can get one. Onboard sound gets a lot more noise from components on the motherboard, and rarely ever has as much dedicated circuitry as a PCI/PCIe card. Plus using onboard can decrease in-game performance because it offloads sound processing duties onto the CPU.

Here's a video of the RMX eating the 5 by 8...
-
Hell yeah that's a nice 12. Have yet to get it adhered together..shhh I'll get on that soon.
Little update: Got an RCA to XLR adapter in today, which let me hook up my iPod for some early testing. Tore the surround off a JBL 5 by 8...I consider that successful testing.
EDIT: Yes that is an air hockey table.

Check this out...definitely not playing classical. Tube amps have always interested me...never see any in car audio but for good reason.

$148,000 is a pretty common price once you get into the insane SQ stuff. I've listened to Bang Olufsen's BeoLab 5s ($16,000 per pair) and thought that they might be worth the cash if I ever had it. (which I won't) Check these out though...
-
I like the comments. "For when the zombies come" haha
-
Thats whats up man, bet its gonna get down on that amp!
Ive always wanted to do somethin for my room.
I hear ya...for a long time I've been wanting something in my room to handle some bump. iHome sure as hell doesn't cut it alone, and neither can the 15+ year old Infinity bookshelves I have on a bulky Sony mini system.
-
Yep, got the Savage 25 back there. It's going away for the winter I think, plus I want to put a pullstart on it anyway. That roto-start garbage or whatever they call it annoys me.
Thanks!

As some of you know, I have a custom 12 put together by Forevrbumpn, and I requested that he leave the re-coning to me. I really want to assemble both the sub and enclosure myself, so I can see what goes into it and of course learn how to do it right. The sub's specs are in my sig, but the amp is a QSC Audio RMX850, which will put out roughly 830W into 4ohms bridged. I know a lot of you may not have heard of them but over in the Home Audio section I hear it's a pretty good brand. (the thing feels solid as hell - weighs about 35lbs) The sub can do 1kW RMS, but I don't want to push it and the RMX850 was a steal for what I paid.
Some pics of the sub (sexy):
And of course, the amp:
I'm going to be using a simple 2-way crossover and Knukonceptz RCAs to run this off a docked iPod, should sound all right. Mids and highs will be piped into my iHome from the crossover for now, thinking about getting some M-Audio or DD monitors down the road.
Let me know what you think...more photos and updates as they happen.
-
Oh goodness that tall surround will probably work wonders. Reminds me of my 12 in a way
I'm gonna say 153+ out of the new setup with a 14k on each for burps
-
Was that a power wire in your door jamb...
-
You could attach right-angle metal tabs on the bottom corners of your box, have threaded bolts coming up through the floor, and secure the tabs to the bolts with nuts. Just a suggestion.
-
Someone correct me on this but it might be that the system is drawing tons of power straight off the battery when at idle, because the alternator isn't putting out many amps.
EDIT: Need mo batteries
Tahoe System Rebuild 2009 is ALL BUT FINISHED and PLAYING!!!! UPGRADE to RF P2 8's 12/08/2009!

I know about the Rockford feature you had...it'd be cool to see even more publications about the Hoe too.
