  1. hell yeah im very interested in the rebuild mang. that comparison is crazy too. def a upgrade id say. the AAs look tiny lol makes me wonder what my XL 15" would look like next to a XL18. are ya gonna start a totally new log or add onto the one ya got up now...so i know where to look hahaa

    Thanks. It's been a while since I've owned 18". They are just silly big. I'll probably start a new build so I can give it a catchy title. I'll update my sig with links. I'll probably get started this weekend.

    BTW congrats on SOTM March 2010. Tearing up the vol knob with that amp I hope. :)

  2. So I ordered some woofers from this outfit. In big red blinking letters they announce "Build Time 5-7 Days." That's cool. Tack on another 4 for shipping, so we're looking at two weeks. No biggie. I put my order in, a Friday night no less. It's not till Monday that my payment is accepted, so two weeks from Monday. From what I here I'm suppose to get an e-mail from from these guys when my stuff ready to go. I'm a patient guy. It's been a week, I figure I'll get an e-mail today or tomorrow. Today, I come home from work and bam!

    Typical Fi Audio, showing up ready to party.

    Wondering what they are?

    18" IB3.......For my car :o......Flame Suit On :P

    They'll be replacing these.

    Old school Ascendant Audio Atlas. Old school? Yes, it's been that long.

    I opted for the Darth Vader edition IB3s with black motors and a dark grey logo. Not really, this is what they sent me, so I'm running with it. :)

    Stay tuned for a tear down and rebuild. Thanks for looking. Thanks Fi.

  3. After years of hassle free noise making I got the urge to try something different. No better way to be different than with a JBL GTi. :) Here are some side by side pics. Out with the old, in with the new.

    Here is a pic of the sub in the cabinet.

    For a direct swap it sound great. I'm running the amp at 6 ohms now so I'm getting a little less power. It's still just as loud. I updated my receiver as well. It's a Sony STR DN-1010. It's pretty sweet. I got more adjustments for the speakers I've got hooked up. In the near future I'm looking to get another pair of JBL's and run 4 of these 15's off a pair of Behringer EP2500. I've already got the second amp, just need the speakers now.

  4. Speaking of, how did that turn out? I was going to go but had to put my car in the shop.

    The turn out was good. We got shut down a little early by the fuzz. I post some pics later tonight.

    O ok well ill def keep my eyes peeled for the next. Kinda be nice to know what i hit with my lil system. An is there any local small meets or hangouts?? I need to get out an mingle.

    HotRods and what not get together Friday nights at the corner of Toepperwein road and I-35N, behind the Carl's Jr. You'll probably catch one or two with systems there. I know more get together Saturday nights by the Fudruckers next to Ingram Mall but that's on the other side of town.

  5. Your not having any phasing / cancellation issues with those drivers? When I saw open baffle goodness i was expecting maybe a dipole or something similar. Anyways check out this program called edge, i think you might find it interesting.

    I can't tell. I do know it gets plenty loud and sounds good. Thanks for the software link. Looks cool but a little complicated for a simpleton such as myself.

  6. Here is a link to a thread I started inquiring about the Russian meter, SPL-Labs.

    Clicky Linky

    The Russian meter will never replace the termlab. I see the Russian meter as an inexpensive tuning tool that's as accurate at the termlab.

    I'm off to a slow start, but pretty soon I'll have a SPL-Labs LCD Bass Meter in my hands. I'll post a review for all to see and critique.

    Questions and inquiries are welcome.

    Cheers

  7. Hello everybody. I know it's kinda weird what I'm asking, wanting big bass without the box and all. I wanted to throw this out there. Anyone interested in seeing this happen. You can help me out by casting a vote for me (onebadmonte) for March 2010 System of the Month (SOTM). A win here would get me very close to upgrading. Thanks everyone for taking a peek.

    Cheers
