Autruche

I've listened to that song for years, one of my all time favorites. It's off of their album Ride The Tempest.

It's only going to be 2000 on the mids and 6500 on the woofers. It originally started as just 4 pairs, then I wanted 6 pairs, now I know I can find a way to get 8 pairs in there, lol.

Of course it's necessary. And there's no such thing as overkill.

Right now, 24:2 8 6.5s 8 4s 8 tweets 2 8 inch subs When I'm finished, 48:2 16 6.5s 16 4s 16 tweets 2 15 inch XLs

if you want the box volume smaller, try extending the port to take up half a cube. then you'll have 7 cubes net, and you can take a smaller bit of port area off and get the lower tuning you want without sacrificing as much port area as you were originally going to.

Awesome. I think I need to get a Toyota Hilux and do that to it.

Check them out online. A lot of car audio sites sell alarms, just browse and keep asking about them on here. http://www.woofersetc.com/c1/Alarms-&-Security.htm http://www.sonicelectronix.com/cat_i27_car-security---safety.html

Now, that's a real man. Dirty Harry in the flesh, haha. Mad respect for that man, I hope he makes a quick recovery.

Ahh, Futurama. Season 5, Episode 1, Crimes Of The Hot.

Designed this up a while ago. Pretty simple, but everyone I've shown it to liked it.

If you want to seal off your trunk, but don't want to leave any spray foam around when you want to pull it out you can put plastic wrap around where you want to spray the foam, or you can spray the foam into plastic bags and shape the foam as it expands inside the bag. As far as the recone, a more efficient sub (spl @ 1w/1m) won't necessarily be better, in some cases it can get louder on less power, and in some cases it means it will reach it's limits sooner and will not get as loud, but you'd have to do the recone to know. A recone can also change your subs characteristics and after the recone it may need a completely different box too. If you are willing to spend 120 on a recone, why don't you see what you could sell your amp for and see what power that amount of money plus the 120 could get you?

I could see that being a good option to add to your woofers. I know some people that prefer that over the standard cone and dustcap. I like the regular more, but others don't.

I figured that would happen. I couldn't find a good quality version of the song. If I can get my hands on a better copy I'll let you know.

Thanks, how did they sound?

What's your max resolution? I run 1280x720 and it looks great.

Did you take a look at this thing at all? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812270322&cm_re=vga_adapter-_-12-270-322-_-Product or check these http://www.google.com/search?q=vga+to+composite&hl=en&tbs=shop%3A1&aq=f#sclient=psy&hl=en&safe=off&biw=1280&bih=540&tbs=shop:1%2Cp_ord%3Ap&q=vga+to+rgb&aq=f&aqi=g10&aql=&oq=&gs_rfai=&pbx=1&fp=a2c77013385ba8d2

Hmm, have you checked your fluid? it could be just low on fluid. Also check the transmission all over for cracks in the housing. If it is cracked and water got it, it's most likely done for, though a friend of mine did manage to save his. He found the crack, ground it down a bit, welded it up good and flushed the transmission, cleaned it out and replaced the filter and it was good as new.

Well, there's your problem. But on a serious note, What kind of car? My old caravan that I had (awesome dodge auto trans) had a leak in the transmission, and it would make it sluggish and it would shift slow, I'd have to step on it to take off and my gas mileage would be murdered. Topped the trans fluid off every week and it was fine. My friend's Ford Probe (auto) had a crack in the transmission housing and water had gotten in, and it did exactly the same stuff you're describing.

Damn, that's a big box for just 2 xl 15s. Shoot for 6.5-7.5 cubes after displacements, 7 cubes should be good. Looking at like 120 square inches of port, should be golden. As far as tuning, if you're unsure between 33Hz and 35Hz tuning, just tune to 34Hz. It'll still get down, but sound great, musically.

Ah, I didn't know all of the speakers were 2 ohms. The way i read it it just sounded like it was just the 6.5s that were 2 ohms. In that case I'll modify options 2, 3, and 4 for you. 2 four channel amps. Wire the 5.25s and 6x9s to their own amp. Wire the 6.5s in each door in series so they are 4 ohms, wire to their own amp, 1 door per channel. Best: 3 four channel amps. One amp for the front doors: each infinity gets it's own channel. One amp for the back doors: each infinity gets it's own channel. 5.25s and 6x9s get their own amp. 2 four channel amps. Get a nice four channel that can handle 1 ohm, like the SounDigital SD1000.4AB or the Crescendo 1000C4. Wire the 6.5s in each door in parallel down to 1 ohm. Use one amp to power all the 6.5s. Use another four channel to power the 5.25s and 6x9s. How's that for ya?

If I was right about the speakers impedances, these are ways you could wire it. #1) 1 four channel amp. Wire the 6.5s in each door in series, they will be 4 ohms then, wire them in parallel with the 4 ohm speakers, then you have 2 ohms per channel, with 3 speakers per channel. #2) 2 four channel amps. Wire the sets of 4 ohm speakers to their own amp. Wire the 6.5s in each door in series so they are 4 ohms, wire to their own amp, 1 door per channel. #3) Best: 3 four channel amps. One amp for the front doors: each infinity gets it's own channel. One amp for the back doors: each infinity gets it's own channel. All other speakers get their own amp. #4) 2 four channel amps. Get a nice four channel that can handle 1 ohm, like the SounDigital SD1000.4AB or the Crescendo 1000C4. Wire the 6.5s in each door in parallel down to 1 ohm. Use one amp to power all the 6.5s. Use another four channel to power the other speakers. #5) 2 four channels and head unit. Advise against this as it would most likely sound like ass. One amp for the front doors: each infinity gets it's own channel. One amp for the back doors: each infinity gets it's own channel. Run other speakers off the head unit.

Well, am I right or are they all 2 ohm speakers?

let me see if I get this right... Front: 1 pair 5.25 - 4 ohm each Front doors: 2 pair 6.5 - 2 ohm each Back doors: 2 pair 6.5 - 2 ohm each Rear deck: 1 pair 6x9 4 ohms each Is that right?

Good choices you've got there. I'd try to run 1200-1500 on it, here's my suggestions. most desired to least desired. Rockford Fosgate T-1000-1bd Sundown 1200 or 1500 Soundigital SD1000.1D AQ 1200 Hifonics BRZ1200.1D Power acoustic BAMF-40001D Audiopipe AP15001D

A mechman 270 and 3 regular batteries stays fine constantly staying at 14-14.1v at full tilt with the same power in my friends explorer. I'd say that a good HO Alternator and a good starting battery and a good second battery (xs D3400 or similar) would be fine.
