ok thanks and another question ... how can you use a dmm to find the ohm of your voice coil ?

is that bad for a speaker or does MECP recommend a tool because they are strictly by the book and safety nuts ?

i was reading my MECP study guide and i came across a section that says to use a polarity test tool to check speaker polarity and that it is much safer than trying to "pop" speakers with a battery... what does that mean to "pop" a speaker with a battery ?

My girlfriend complains that i spend more time on SMD forum than i do with her .... FUCK THAT !!!

can you PLEASE tell me what songs are playing ?? those sound like AMAZING system tune/check songs and they sounds sweet

is it wrong that i noticed the DC sub on the bed before the girl :-/ :-D what size is that sub ?

where can one acquire this stuff ? and that why i wana do it to learn :-) cant learn unless trial by fire

i do not have a stock location i will be making a baffle at the bottom of the A-pillar for one i want to learn this stuff and want to learn how to make these cotom baffles i see on doors and such so i thought i would start small and also i have all low ish speakers and 2 tweeters so i think the 3 inch will do good for the whats left ... mainly i want to learn how to do that and i will start small.

http://www.diymobileaudio.com/forum/diyma-build-logs/69600-2010-fusion-sq-installation-thread-3.html like what this guy did to his a-pillar what is that cloth and liquid stuff that he used ?

ok now does anyone know how to make a speaker holder thing ( dont know what they are called lol ) i know how to make the frame with the front mounting rings and the little wood legs for fitting but what do i use to cover it to make it a closed speaker enclosure ?? i see people use this cloth stuff then some rosin ... what is that stuff ?

i have a build in high pass on the radio that i would use but i have it off right now because i have only speakers going from amp and they are set to 125 HPF so if i set the radio to 125 that would take the bass out of the fronts so i should be ok ... this is going to be my first fiber glassing project or how ever i would do this

box on radio said 50x4 thats prolly max power tho

guess for now im going to stick with the 2 10s maybe when i get more money i can do a full build and make the 10s for midbass and get 2 12s later on idk

well i could do that but my car is a 1992 mercury Capri .. look it up ... TINY TINY TINY and i would port the 10s but i am tight on space with 2 .58 Cu/Ft chambers and RF recommends 1.5 Cu/Ft ported so i don't have the room for that. what would be a good way to get some lows ??? could i possibly run a 4channel amp the sealed of 2 channels and the one ported off 2 channels ?? so they could both have there own X-over and gain control ?

i built the box and i did not want a ported box because i had both a ported and sealed on them and i liked the sealed ... i made the box myself... i have the 10s and 6x9 all in one in the back seat does not have room to make a ported box for the 10s they recommend 1.5 CU/f ported .58 sealed ... my trunk has 2 levels that i made when i took the spare out and i would have room for a 12 in the bottom of trunk where batteries are that is why i want to put a 12 there because no room for the 2 10s in a ported box. and sealed box means not the best for lows so a 12 would compensate Note: I do not buy prefabbed shit when i can spend half that to make one thats better :-)

ok so right now i have 2 10" P1s in a sealed box and i want to add a single 12" ported P1 to get a little bit lower because the sealed 10s hit REALLY good but not the real lows ... what would be a good amp to run them and would a ported 12 hit good lows ??

i was looking at these kicker ds350 that are rated 15 watt RMS 30 watt max going to put them at the bottom of the A pillar ... i have a pioneer HU thta pushes 50wattsx4 is that a good speaker ? and could i just hook that up to the HU and it would be loud ?

i look at it this way .... i have a convertable with nice sound system ... my doors are always unlocked .... why ?? if someone wants it they are going to get it .... you have to open my door to get the stuff out its a small two door ... ill let them open the door and take the stuff ... better them take it and me replace it then they take it and i replace the speakers AND a soft top .... no matter what you do if someone wants your stuff ..... they will take it plane and simple ...

the grab it only works in a reversed motion ... so if you did go with that idea every time you took them out you would have to put new screws in and strip them. i would just get some of those security screws you see on bathroom stalls .... star bit with a nipple in the center so you have to get a special bit and no other bit will work and the niple in the center prevents form using a staight head on the star ... thats what i use on my stuff these screws http://www.google.com/products?hl=en&q=security+screws&um=1&ie=UTF-8&ei=k8CYTPOlOZClnQfM4qAk&sa=X&oi=product_result_group&ct=image&resnum=3&ved=0CFIQzAMwAg or any type of secrity screw they make some funny bits out there

looking for a small speaker that sounds good and has decent frequency range with clarity. and im looking at small speakers and they are 30 watt 50 watt max handling ... how would i hook those up with out a big kaboom ???

here is the finished amp rack Speaker box and amps in place The door speakers all the pics that i have im sure there will be more ... i plan on covering the top of the box or i guess i can call it half wall with a clear sheet of plexiglass also will be cleaning up the wires in the amp rack a little better. was kind of rushed there.

HOLY SHIT !!! it actually turned out good little carpet paint because i could not find black speaker box carpet finished product ... i was very happy and impressed ... and shoced that i actually did a good job on my first try now time to make a floor 3/4 MDF and vynal in the car she goes now for the amp rack ... never did this either ... thanks steve meade for the fan design it helps alot going to be covered in white vinyl need to take more pictures for that is all i have so far ...

now im pretty bumbed ut but after hard thinking i say thank you to them ... even tho the 100dollar amp was stolen with it everything else was given to me for free accept wood for box and my time sweat and blood ... thank you for taking care of the destuction part for me ... so now begins my current build :-))) new stuff ... ALOT of new stuf and some old oh boy where to start ... first design with a box friend gave me didnt like it ... box was to big subwoofers moved to much and bottomed out once ... back to the drawing board ... time to wing it and make my first box ... oh boy its coming along ... for a 30 dollar sheet of mdf and 2 dollars for caulk and 3 dollars for screws im kind of impressed with myself ... ALOT First subwoofer in ... yay box is almost done turned out GREAT i was happy for my first time and just winging it first 6x9 in second one in time to carpet the box ... my mind is going ... WTF !!! my mom did all the other carpeting for my car i dont know what im doing ... so time to hit up the youtube :-D
