  1. Ok guys, I have a big decision to make. Check out the Beast-350 thread for the details. I could use your help SMD Community!! http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/187138-94-ford-beast-350-obs-cclb-not-looking-good-project-may-already-be-dead/page-5

  2. Sometimes, you just want to give up!

      I wish it was about audio. I don't even know what road I'm going down with that yet. All my potential builds have been shut down for a bit. This is about life, and it's hard to just back away from that when you have kids, wife, full time job etc. I know I'm not the only one, I'm not trying to act like I have it harder than anyone else. Just having a tough go at it right now. It's a big stack and as broad as my shoulders are, I'm having trouble carrying it all.

  3. Anyone think a 5.0K on 4 M38's at 1 ohm is too much power? That equates to 1250 per sub, if i get all that power due to box rise etc.

      if they are anything like sa8s then i wouldnt be worried

  4. I'm just wondering if it's possible to do 4 ported M38's on a single 5.0K at 1 ohm. I seem to remember Rob (Thorshammer) having a pair of M38's, although I'm sure they weren't just M38's if you know what I mean, but on a 5.0k or maybe it was a 3.5k. I know at 2 ohms I'd be looking at around 2300 watts, but I doubt I'll get that with box rise etc, and that's just short at RMS with 575 Watts provided I got all 2300 watts out of it. At 1 ohm is just at above recommended max per sub at 1250. I could gain it down obviously. Just curious if anyone has done this or what you guys think on that?
  5. Has anyone done 4 8's under the rear seat of a crew cab F250/350 2004 and up?

      That is bad ass!! I'd love to have them sit back just a touch more even with the seat. Might just be doable. Thanks for that.

  9. Well all is out of the civic except for a couple of cables, the front D4700 battery and the singer alt. As soon as I figure out what the hell is wrong with the truck, I'll be starting on it. Very excited!! Need to do some research on door poppers.....whaaaatttt????!!!!!

  10. I've got most of the design finalized. Have the enclosure design in hand. Got a nice pm from Singer last night. Civic is 75% stripped and will be about 90% by tonight. It's about time to start the build on the Beast-350. Getting excited!!

  12. I know I'm late to the party, but GOT DAMN THOSE B2 AMPS LOOK HAWT!!!!

    1. Kyblack76

      Kyblack76

      They are decent. We ran 2 m1u's in the ecplise. I wish they came in black. I quite like the case.

    2. scooter99

      scooter99

      Yeah that case is bad ass. However, that being said, you know me. It's nothing a little carbon fiber wrap and a little matching decal logo can't fix! WOOT!

  13. Does anyone know if i'll loose signal by taking a pair of rca's and splitting it multiple times? I'm sure this has been discussed I just can't find anything. I want to make a distribution block for 2 channels in and about 12 channels out. Thoughts?

      Does anyone have a link to where I can look for pricing the ones that are floating around here. I can't remember who has them. I think Jon Rabe grabbed a couple, and Kyle. Who's making those? Scott Budwalla (Sp) I think? Is that even how you say his name, I don't remember. I know who he is but I can't remember his exact name.

  14. 140.8 @ 43hz. I'm ok with that on a first major build. Then I blew a sub so I guess now it's time to move on to bigger and better things!

      Sounds good to me. How long till they're ready? I'll wait to tear down until then. Don't DD's like a big enclosure though?

      I should have them done by this week. They are D1 so you should be good with just one amp @ 1 ohm final load.

    4. scooter99

      scooter99

      Ok. I'll get the other sub out and we'll be ready to go.

  15. Need help finding a thread. A guy from Northern Cali, Sac area, had a white dually with a blow through and 4 alpine (?) 12's. His truck got stolen I think at one point. I can't find that thread, can someone help. I did a search but may not have searched correctly. Searched for Dually Help please.

  16. Well it's official. New build log for the truck is started. After this weekend I get busy with breaking down the civic and start building on the truck. Check it out:http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/187138-the-beast-94-ford-f350-obs-cclb/

      scooter99

      Aint gonna lie Im nervous as FAWK! But it's an old truck, I don't owe on it, and when I'm done, it'll still be stout as hell. So it should be ok. As long as my wife doesn't see what happens LMAO!

    4. Jessica

      Jessica

      man, i want to do a blow through in my truck. I use it for hauling too much though.

  19. Well it's official folks. The Loud & Low Civic is getting stripped down and prepped to be sold. It's a good and sad day for me. Not gonna lie, I almost shed a tear! But sometimes you just gotta let go. I will be back though!! I have no doubt about that!!!

      What kind of alternator do you have?

    4. scooter99

      scooter99

      It's a Singer 185 Amp for 06 Civic.

  20. I can't find the thread that was on here about cone area and had the calculations etc. Can someone post the link for me please if you know where it is? Thanks!

  21. OH YOUUUUU! How would audacity help with music that's already clipped? I know nothing about it, so I'm curious.
  22. dual 2's with strapped 3.5k's in a box that Rusty gave me specs for, it is tuned to 36hz So, you're wired to 1 per amp? If so, that would be why they're stinky lol. Why is that? Mine are on a single bc3500.1 each at 1 ohm. Tuned with a dd1 and matched with the cc1 on a 7.5k track. Question, if you had your stuff set and an om1 or vu din, and your song is clipped out of the gate, would the meter's pick that up or would it only pick up when you go past the tuning point on your amps? Did that make sense?
  23. Mine get that way too on occasion. I'm worried as well, but when you play a cd and it happens, what's your guys' thoughts then? Cause it doesn't matter what music i play, they can still get a little smelly after a bit.
  24. Today's progress: Changed back to original belt route with smaller belt, check. Battery light off, check. Engine shutter gone, check. Trunk sealed up no more leaks, check. New muffler hangers, check. Final payment made to own the civic, CHECK!!! Damn it was a good day!!
