    holy shit... now I'm thinking about just doing a DC powered amp and just using an inverter, but will that give me enough constant power w/o voltage drop or anything? I'm only thinking about doing like 200-300 watts for these subs. Ill throw up pics and specs of the box I'm thinking about as of right now in a bit

    holy cow that sounds like wayyyy too much power for me....what'd that system cost? PM on the way...

    and yes, I want to be the loudest in my dorm at least, and being at a boarding school, all the kids here have store-bought 2.1 systems with big woofers. I wana show 'em how the big boys play ;)

    I want to build a smallish box for my dorm room this year and want to know what kind of woofers would be good. I want them to hit low as hell, but I don't need a whole lotta power, and definitely am on a budget. So far my best idea is 2 8" Tang Band W8-740P woofers in a box tuned to 33hz. also need help on finding quality plate amps... thanks!

  12. T-line for a Tang Band 6.5"

    Hey all, I've been thinking about designing a smallish t-line to go into my dorm room for quite some time now. I plan on using a 6.5" Tang Band woofer, the specs of which are: Frequency range: 38-800 Hz • Fs: 38 Hz • SPL: 83 dB 1W/1m • Vas: 0.416 cu. ft. • Qms: 2.65 • Qes: 0.47 Qts: 0.40 • Xmax 13 mm • Dimensions: Overall diameter: 7", Cutout diameter: 5-1/2", Depth: 3-5/8". According to my calculations, I would need about 28 sq. in. of port and a line length of 97.5" for tuning of 36hz. My main questions are; should I bother adjusting the line length to tune the box up by just 2hz, or is 36 going to be close enough? Also, I've seen and read a lot about adding a sort of dampening material throughout half of the line; is this actually necessary/required in order to have proper response, or is it just an extra step that someone more experienced would take in order to get everything they possibly can out of their setup? Lastly, I'm open to any constructive criticism of my box, so what do you guys think? Sorry for the long read, now here's the box:

  23. End-of-year GIGANTIC project

    in Off Topic - Random, Misc posts - the forum "Junk Drawer"

    Posted

    Hey guys! To culminate the academic year at my school, we're all assigned to do a 2.5 week long project based on our interests. My group is working under the questions: How have engines effected the environment? and How have these effects caused engine technology to change? We are looking for any and all information regarding new engine technology, including fuel types, aerodynamics, efficiency, prototypes, you name it.... I thought it might be beneficial to throw out the word and see if anyone knows anyone who works in manufacturing and/or engineering any kinds of alternative fuel cars (hybrids, hydrogen cell, electric, etc.) that I could possibly set up an interview with. We are working in/around Mass. and New Hampshire, but phone interviews would be helpful as well. Thanks in advance to any support :drinks:
