  1. Okay sweet! Thank you Steve. Don't think ill have money in time to make use of the sale, but oh well. It'll be worth the extra money anyway.
  2. Are the prices for shipping on ebay correct though? $30/£18 seems too cheap for shipping all the way to the UK. Bought a few things on eBay where apparently it had calculated shipping to the UK and said it was a certain ammount, then once id bought it the seller messages me telling me eBay was wrong and it'll be alot more.
  3. I've been dying for a DD1 for a long time but it used to work out so expensive to get it shipped from there to here. Recently i found a website selling them in the uk, www.bladeice.com, which are selling them for £140. But having a quick gander on ebay i managed to find them being sold on steves ebay for £77 + 19 postage (Although not sure if its so cheap due to the sales you've got going on). Works out quite a bit cheaper then bladeice, but i have a feeling if i was to order it from there the postage would change and end up being alot more. So i was just wondering if theres anywhere else besides bladeice that sells them online for the UK?
  4. I was thinking that the box might need to be bolted in, but might be a bit of a bitch to do it in my car as directly under my rear seats is my fuel tank. Seal it with expanding foam? Never used it before but I assume that it will stick like a bitch to my car and be hard to get off? Will definitely have a look at your build log, and some others too. Even if it is harder then I thought then that's fine, I will just take a little bit more time finding out everything I need to, plus it's doing something I love anyway so I'm not too fussed. My car should be able to handle it, stiff suspension should be able to take it. I'll test it though, I'll fill the back of my car up with as much heavy shit as I can.
  5. Anyone? Come on, I've seen a few people doing walls, surely somebody could help me out?
  6. I built my first ever enclosure about 2 months ago, for a single 15" tuned to about 31hz or so. Shit pounds like mad. But obviouslly as a basshead i need MOAR BASS! So i've decided to build a wall. Im buying my old Volkswagen Golf Mk3 back from a friend and selling my car, main reason is because my Golf was beautiful, second reason is to swap from 5 door to 3 door, i think a wall in a 3 door is a better idea then a 5. My plan is 4 15" 's in a wall directly behind the front seats, placed where the rear seats would go. But i need help with a few things.... Im building the box in the car, but how do i actually mount the box down onto the car? So its not going to tip or move at all. Do i just glue the bottom wood for the box directly to the car? Or is there another way of doing it. Its going to be subs forward port forward, with 3 common walls (top, bottem and side, so i think that means 3 common walls?) but is there any benefit to a specific side the port needs to go on? Or is driver and passenger side exactly the same? I've seen a few people do two layers of wood on the side of the box where the subs go, im not sure what this is called, but does this help strengthen the box and spread the weight of the subs? Would this be something i should do? I want to spray the box black, but if im building it in the car is there any tip or trick to spraying the box without getting it all over the inside of the car? The box is going to be a basic rectangle/square shape, so what do people do to fill the space between the box and the rear windows? So that if people look from the inside of the car to the back they cant see into the rear of the car? And lastly i need to know how to build the box so it wont just fall apart when the subs are in from the weight, do i need to put wooden "pillars" on the inside from top to bottom to strengthen the box? I know i have a lot of questions but id rather ask everything i need to, rather then do it and have a shed of a wall. If anyone can answer even one question it would be a great help, and also does anyone have a link handy to a build of a wall in a car that shows in a fair ammount of detail how the box is actually built and strengthened ect?
  7. Is this what Steve uses in his Tahoe? I've noticed a few times in his videos that he puts his hand down somewhere just before the bass kicks in, is this him turning this up? If so does anyone have any pictures of where he's put it?
  8. Youre right, your gain knob only works to the same place as your amp. So yeah of your amp is set at 75% then your remote won't go higher then that. Some amps when the remote is turned to full, it is only 75%. But on some turning the remote passed 75% will do nothing.
  9. Does the blackice line do rated though? Looks too good to be true for the 1800 monoblock.
  10. Would a 3hz rise in tuning really make that much of a difference?
  11. So i've heard a few times that you can use the fuses on an amplifier to work out roughly how much power the amplifier could put out. I,e an amplifier with 2x 25amp fuses, has a total fuse size of 50 amps, so the amp could put out around about 400w rms give or take. But the thing i dont get is at what impedance is this? Is this 400w rms at 4ohms? Or at the lowest ohm the amplifier is capable of? I've seen an amplifier with a total fuse rating of 120 that says it does 1000w rms at 4ohm, which would sound about right for that fuse rating, but then it says 1400w rms at 2ohm, 1800w rms at 1 ohm. Which doesnt fit in with the fuse rating, but then it might be something to do with the fact they are at different impedances. Could anyone shed any light on this?
  12. Yeah i just checked, it dies off not too long after that. What should i have tuned at to be good for everyday music, whilst still being able to play a bit of lowish music.
  13. Crossover on the amp? Set around 80hz give or take.
