Check your voltage and gains. Could be clipping it to hell.
-
Make a cut or two to test it out if you can, and I would use it. Sounds like it's in great conditions. You'd know if it wasn't good any more. I've had MDF water damage and its not pretty one bit.
EDIT: Just to mention MDF price, here it's about 35 something with taxes already
35? Why so high? It's dirt cheap around here. I can get a 1 inch thick sheet for 25 bucks.
-
hmmm thats your call... lol... was it at least under some shade? if so i would say go for it...
but at 18$ a sheet you could jus buy a new one...
If that was me and it was here... i would use it... cuz its $63.25 for MDF here...
No shade at all. Just chilling leaned up next to the barn. Water just shitting on it for days on end.
63.25 for MDF???? Where the hell do you live? The Hamptons?
-
Shit i left out the cutouts for the subs of one of the boxes i made. one layer of 3/4 MDF went to over 1.5"
That's the weird thing about it. It has not changed at all. I'm going to take a picture tomorrow. It is really kind of shocking.

I bout a sheet of MDF for 18 bucks at my local lumber yard. Took it home and stored it in my Uncle's barn. A month and a half later I come back and it is sitting outside. I asked me uncle how long it has been sitting out in the rain and he said about a month. I told him that MDF doesn't hold up very well to moisture. (It was raining the past few weeks). He replied "oh bullshit, it won't hurt it any." I go and look at the MDF and it looks exactly how it did when I bought it. No swelling or anything. Is it still safe to use or should I buy a new sheet?

I am willing to pay to get a box designed.
-
Ahh fuck that. I will be glad to pay someone to modify my current design.
-
Computer is being gay and won't let me download it. I'm sure someone here can help me out.
-
All I need to know is how to up my tuning frequency. I need it at 35hz. I now you have to make the port smaller but how much smaller?
-
haha you have been talking such a big game on here and you cant design a box?
Designing boxes and building them is the only thing I have yet to dive into. All my installs are clean and professional. I always have my buddy build and design but he is gone to the Navy now so I have to start doing it on my own.
-
If you make the port area smaller or make the port longer that will lower tuning frequency
I want to up the tuning frequency.
-
What woofer is it? You need to take into account for displacement.
It's a Nightshade. I am going to with .3 for sub displacement. That is why I am doing 4.5 cubes.
-
I need help redesigning a box. I need it to be 4.5 cubes tuned at 35hz. I had a guy design me a box that was 4.5 cubes tuned to 30hz. I only want a box for 1 driver not two like in the picture. What would I have to do to get it tuned to 35 hz?

I never said Kappas were bad speakers. I OWN A PAIR. They are not 2 ohm. Like I said earlier they are closer to 3 ohm then anything. Overall they are decent for the money. I like speakers to be more on the sharper side then harsh.
-
stop talking. the reason they make 2 ohm speakers is because the resistance of the small gauge wire and the long runs of them going to the headunit increase the resistance closer to 4 ohms. HERP DERP MAKES SENSE DOESNT IT. my infinity speakers were not even a tad harsh so i dont know what the hell you are talking about queen sick.
Infinity Kappas are not 2 ohm. I own a pair. They are not bad for the money, but there is better out there for the money. Resorting to name calling is never the answer. You fail.

Looks like I'm not the only person who feels this way.
-
Looks like you had a good time. Family time is always nice.
-
Bandpass has to be done perfect or it won't sound right.
-
I'm just curious, what are you the King of?
Whatever I want son.
-
Ported boxes can still sound great if tuned low 30-35hz. Ported is almost always a better option then sealed.
-
ever measure the resistance of the DMM leads?
Sure have bro. Funny that Infinity claims the Kappas are 2 ohm but on the box it also says they are 4 ohm. Typo maybe? I think not. If the Kappas were true 2 ohm speakers, the majority of head units wouldn't be able to power them. Every head unit, even my old ass Pioneer from 1912 powered my old Infinity Kappas. Since then I have moved onto bigger and better speakers, but for the money they are nice. They are on the harsh side so using your EQ is a must.
-
Head room on an amp is a good good thing to have. Less strain on the amp and less chance of clipping. There is only one thing that destroys speakers and amps. HEAT! Keep you shit cool.
-
Kappas are decent speakers. They are closer to 3 ohm then 2. Hooked up the DMM to my old Kappas and got a 3 ohm reading.
-
keep in mind that infinty speakers are usually 2 ohm, as well.
my kappa 6.5s are, anyways...
No Kappas are not 2 ohm. Check your speakers with a DMM and get back to me.
