  1. man i remember those, lol lots of old school stuff going around right now, awesome
  2. yea wouldnt be worth fixing i would think, be better to put money towards a newer car, plenty of cars in late 90s that would be int hat price range
  3. gthe length of a tline has nothing to do with vas, its completely based on the Fs of the sub , you take speed of sound..1130 ft/sec and divide it by the Fs to get a whole wave, then divide that number by 4 to get the quarter wave length which is what most tlines are, quarterwaves real tlines are done differently than that, they are not as easy to design, but have no place at all for spl only for sq/ht then what is the way to determine length of a 'real' tline
  4. i use SUPER by eright software, it converts every format basically and its free
  5. i entered contest ends i thin they said dec 20th and as many submissions as you want, voting is on their facebook page i think
  6. on the side it says get connected and www.dcsoundlab.com at the bottom side, original file is actual size 20inches by 20 inches at 300DPI same as previous only this one doesnt have the wires so it would only be white and black

  8. well even if i dont win, you can feel free to use my designs if you like, whenever i get them submitted
  9. wows lots of great submissions, since this runs til end of december ill probably wait until the end of college semester to try any myself
  10. rcas should be ran on opposite side of the car as power wire, i think that can cause interference, its at least what ive read multiple places when looking into wiring my stuff power wire and ground should be wired most easily on the side your battery sits and rcas wired on other side can someone confirm or deny
  11. what is the ened date for submission, and is there a limit to submissions color restrictio ns, like 1-2-3-4 colors only can it be a full print tshirt or is there a specific part of the shirt that can only be printed on
  12. What if he was charged for punching babies, would you still not care? well now that you mention it, was the baby guilty of anything, maybe he was defending his family from stewie griffin, we may never know
  13. that dude looks like he would be ?fun? to tangle with, lol hes my size plus about 60 pounds, lol
  14. still wouldnt care, all thats important is the lesson learned just dont punch babies
  15. my first subs were legacy's they took 400rms each for 2 weeks and died, they were rated at 1400 watts but supposedly handled 700rms, i had a kenwood excelon 1200rms amp on them, pushing 400 each at 4 ohms (my first amp, loved that beast, it was awesome), but it proved too powerful,i had that same amp run two cadence 6x9 150rms midbass drivers for a month and they took it like a champ, and i still have them today im sured we all have our first times in car audio stories, but as stated research, research, research, i got heavy into car audio last christmas when i got my amp to go with those subs, since they blew, i had a pair of 15inch kicker cvrs and now i have a fi ssd 12, i will finally do my first big build box and all in feb, ive been using prefabs and such to this point we are all here to help.....well most of us, im noob, so i try to always makes sure you now its my opinion, or i ask for confirmation because i have no experience what i know is all form research and reading these forums
  16. dont care what you did, just happy it might be over and hopefully it becomes an experience for the better
  17. The EQ on the head unit? It only has presets as far as I know. It's at flat, always has been. It's the only one that has decent treble and doesn't boost the bass ridiculously I've already set my amp gains and they are right where I want them. The idiots at the shop had them turned way too high and it was overpowering the highs. Nobody read that the phone is at 12/14?? Doesn't that count for something? If I turn the phone to 13 or 14 it DOES distort the highs. Anyways, toot it and boot it WAS clipping. I opened it up with audacity and it hit the red - btw, does it stay red the whole song if it clipped once? Would it be ok to just walk away, come back in 3 minutes when the song is finished playing and find the red marker there still, indicating the song has clipped at one point or another? And where can I get an oscilloscope, what does it do, how much are they and how do I use it? im pretty sure flat is a preset but since you said your treble is +5/+7 i assume that changes the flat preset, flat the way i understand sets everything to 0, which is where you want it to set your gains someone confirm or deny, im noob so probably shoudlnt give advice, lol
  18. i think that heavily relies on tuning, box tuned to certain Hz will handle a particular range much better than a wider range, like yours tuned to 30 may handle anywhere form 25 to 35 fairly good depending on subs, but it may not hit 40Hz very well, different notes in music hit at different frequencies so frequencies within your boxes tuned range will hit hardest that sound alright to anyone else...clarification, lol also even if you think its stable, unless your showing o-scope proof, never put h/u at maximum volume, in my reading ive seen most people stay around 75-80% of max and people that go higher still stay a few under max, i dunno max may be alright if tuned appropriately but i still wouldnt put it at max even if clean wave, id back it to 36-38 and as was stated audacity is god for boosting, editing songs
  19. nice, friend of mine did the cage fighting, but hes currently in iraq i just finished watching UFC's the ultimate heavyweights, best of heavyweight battles, was good
  20. lol, yea, im complete noob when it comes to car audio, so anything sparks my interest ive done lots of reading over the last year, and finally sold be able to do a build in feb
  21. ive seen some sweet thin gs come out of photoshop from people who do not have much experience yea just components, but would save me about 100 dollars when the time comes for me to upgrade, im running some old school infinity comps right now, they have nice SQ but id like to upgrade
