[IT REALLY SHOULDNT BE THIS PHUCKING HARD]

if you parallel all of the components together...1 ohm.

if you parallel the channels together (i.e. the left speakers and the right) 2 sets of 2 ohm.

is that what you were looking for?

[INSTALLER SCREWED ME OVER - HELP]

[INSTALLER SCREWED ME OVER - HELP]

maybe when you weren't watching.. someone bass boosted a bunch of songs in Audacity and played them on your system and killed it.

[2010 Mustang Wall]

god damn man car audio brings out the haters lol

[Battary]

..batteries?

[4th order]

seriously.. keep us updated... i need to learn these things as well

[Too High]

same thing happens on my bonneville with my sense wire mod on my alt. i'm always at 15.6v when it's cold.... it was -2 degrees F here and i hit 16v (once).. i was pretty excited to play my system .. then i realized.. i can't bump in 0 degree weather. and of course by the time the woofers are warmed up and the car is warmed up so i can play.. back down to 14.8v again..

[Smaller Box]

well didn't i just get taught

and in my post i mixed up the words smaller and bigger. i guess my Adderal is wearing off.

and i didn't know it was wrong. i was actually misinformed.

i just had a feeling i was wrong. box design isn't my thing.

and so .. OP.. sorry ...

and ... i'm done being off topic and being in this thread.. made a fool of myself enough already...

[Make Or Buy?]

do we have a ranger buildthread somewhere? or maybe someone else has a link to another forum?

[What is the best way to fire a port in a car trunk...]

Yea, if I was in your shoes I would cut a small hole in the middle of the seat and design a 4th order and have it firing through hole.

lol exactly what i'm doing.

[Make Or Buy?]

my buddy has a ranger.. there is literally NO room. just nothing. he wanted to put a sub in his truck.. i told him it might be able to draw a picture of a woofer cone and tape it back there. maybe.

[What is the best way to fire a port in a car trunk...]

is there a pass through to the cabin?

[Which would you choose?]

i think we all agree RE makes a good woofer

[what way to port????]

okay fine!!! i have no idea what i'm talking about.

damnit you two!!

[Whats the best wood for sub boxes]

i've heard great things about birch but it has to be that exact kind ^^^ i believe

and yeah, it's way lighter. which is huge when you're trying to put a 12cube box in the back of a Suburban by yourself

[Smaller Box]

impedence rise is from the voice coil heating up as well... it occurs over time...

and i thought a bigger box has more power handling because the woofer needs to move more air out of the port. same reason bigger box with same port length as a smaller box is tuned higher

idk.. someone will post on this thread and they will know for sure

just wait.. they'll quote me and be like, "this is wrong"

[Any good hid brands out there]

i'm picking up highs lows and fogs from ddm, my buddy just got all three for his 07 tiburon.. perfect.. easy install too... and lifetime warranty.. can't beat that.

[sealed box frequency]

well even if it's at 3 cubes.. it's still sealed.. so i'd be pretty damn to hurt it.

then again..it is a pyramid... haha just kidding bro

i'd do 2 cubes and call it a day

[New box for 1 15" Kicker in a 2001 Chevy Blazer]

sounds good .. but when you build it.. before any finishing touches.. (body filler carpet etc etc..)

throw the sub in and see how it sounds .. make sure you play music with a big bass frequency range... like 25Hz - 60Hz..

if it's good, you're golden.. if it isn't...well at least you wern't way into the build before you noticed.

just a tip

[Smaller Box]

so you're stepping down or up in power?

assuming up.. what effect would that have on your box needing to be smaller? that would raise the tuning frequency ... assuming you keep the port length the same.

and the SMD woofers are huge.. so they naturally make your box a little smaller.. less air volume...

[Which would you choose?]

yeah, if you have a good box.. plus you have a woofer that's actually called sex

[what way to port????]

i meant in a truck. lol.

i've seen lots of prefab boxes for cars though that are subs back port up

but thanks, sam.

[my system]

oh because it would probably crack my window the songs are so loud. im not worried about blowing them or anything but yeah, i cant afford a new window.

You were joking, right?

Tell me you're joking.
