  1. such a fuckin tease.... lol good job on the wirin tho i'm sure that was a pain in the ass to get pulled through but i know in the long run it'll pay off.... hey can u explain to my wat u mean by "buildin your crossover network" edit: u postin the pics of the a-pillars b4 i could finish typin this so the tease part might not make sense to alot
  2. i've said it once and i'll say it again... if i and all the other ppl on the forum can take the time to read this thread then u can too... lazy ass
  3. are kicker amps power hogs i heard they are... and if so then yes ur list seems pretty accurate
  4. x2 i don't think u need 2 300amp alts but like he said it doesn't hurt to have more
  5. from wat i read that hu is ipod compatible so just put all ur songs on an ipod, zune, mp3 player and no more skips
  6. i promise u steve will let us know anything new as soon as he can get on the computer when he does have an update... he has never let us down... ppl please be patient he will post updates as they come in...
  7. also that amp is for 16 volt setups if i'm correct... (somebody correct me if i'm wrong i'm still a noob in this industry and i don't wanna tell this guy some wrong shit) but i'm pretty sure that those amps require 16 volts to feed them
  8. the z series subs are not for the faint of heart at all... those are not sq subs AT ALL just really really stupid loud at least the 9515 or 9915 have sum music capabilites (not alot but sum) but the z series = major cash and high spl number just no sq... so unless u plan on competin i wouldn't get the z series... if u really are bout spl then look into the 9915
  9. i thought DD ships to canada? and thank you accordman... i knew i didn't go crazy like i said stupid loud = DD's
  10. p3 shallow mounts and keep the gain down.... u should be fine wit that if ur worried bout the power handling
  11. we've (all the students in the AP class) have been round and round wit her since the beginning of the year bout this shit... she's pretty dead set... sayin she's tryin to treat us like college profesors and get us ready for the "real" life
  12. i hope so cuz it's for an AP class and my teacher takes NO excuses cuz we are AP and she expects more from us ya know
  13. ok i went ahead and saved it as a microsoft word document cuz i don't remember the comps at school havin ms word on them i'm goin to hope that works, i'm goin to check this thread in the mornin b4 i go to school so if anybody else has any more suggestions plz make them
  14. i'm not tryin to be an asshole and bump only 5 mins later but i kinda need this like now so i can go to bed...
  15. ok i just finished typing an essay and i'm wantin to save it to a disk so i can print it at school.... (printer doesn't work at home).... and i was just goin to copy and paste it into an email and email it to myself but when i do that it messes wit all my configurations... (my tabs. alignment, spacing... etc.) so how do i save my document from microsoft word on a windows computer so it can open on an apple computer at school... or am i just overlookin something and it should work no matter wat...
  16. thats why i joined the military.... i still get to work on computers like want too... and i make a great living straight out of highschool
  17. nothing beats satisfaction imo... so i would say go where ur happy... but i understand where ur comin boud makin a living so i really can't help u but if u could get hired on wit alpine or pioneer then that would be great... but like i said i would go where i'm happy
  18. shit i'm a senior in high school and i'm taking java right now for my Computer science class... pretty easy in my opinion just a shit load of memorization
  19. here is a complete right up from LSN2meBoom916 it can be done but u must know wat ur doin and not just throwin some different size subs in a box and callin it done MIXING SUBWOOFER SIZES: It can be done, and it can sound good/loud and clear and even BETTER than not mixing them. It is BY NO MEANS easily done, so unless you have: A PHD in the Field of Acoustical engineering, A magical Ouija Board with all the answers, Or a CRAZY amount of LUCK, I would not even attempt it w/ out MUCHO RESEARCH. From what I have read/seen/heard/figured out myself, mixing subs is just like mixing any other speakers in a system, the only difference is that subs GENERATE LOTSA FORCE. Thus, they can have an impact on how other speakers/subs act when sharing airspace (BE-IT ENCLOSURE AIRSPACE or simply INTERIOR CABIN SPACE-i.e. same car/vehicle). So the key to mixing and matching speakers/subs is really dependent on your ability to predict HOW those speakers/subs will interact in the same area (here's where the PHD comes in) So to figure out "how 2 speakers/subs/assembly of moving parts" motivated by the "magic" of bipolar (+ & -) electricity (I know, it's kinda scary) will interact with each other and have any amount of accuracy...you kinda gotta know ALL the characteristics of ALL the parts and materials involved or do A RIDICULOUS amount of testing to form enough "generalizations" as to the outcomes of different combinations of parts so that you can say "this will work best/well/not suck". That said, the main thing involved in successfully mixing/matching subs is being able to predict how those products will work w/ each other and that can be PLANNED as long as you know all the stuff I just said ^^^^^. If you have a small sub that hits higher frequencies better than a big sub and a big sub that hits super low frequencies with ease, the ideal would be use them together and just tell them to only do what they are good at. The prob with that is in CAR AUDIO you are really limited on space and can't have 70 speakers each playing a tiny range fo freq's and you have to let a sub/speaker cover a wider RANGE of freq's. It's just like A COMPONENT SET of midrange speakers. Think about GOOD comp sets. The XOVER IS KEY. It tells each super specialized speaker what freq's to play and all that impedence matched/hi-tech X-over talk that means your MB Quarts and Focal mids will sound awsome and much better than ur sony xploders and audiovox garbage. So If you limit your mixed & matched subs, and only let them do what they are good at while keeping them from trying to do each others jobs (play the same freq's) you can actually build a SUPER EFFICIENT setup, that sounds better than a "normal" one. If you crossover the subs/speakers at different freq's you should have no OVERLAP and thus no probs at all. Like maybe your 15's (or biggest woofers present) playing @10hz-35hz, the 12's @ 35hz- 50hz, 10's @ 50hz-80hz and some 8's @ 80-200hz, and your mids on up from there. you should have the most balanced system EVER. Thats exactly how CRAZY home audio guys do it and they get some CRAZY sound outta a setup like that. The only diff is in a HOME audio environment you have less PRESSURE cuz the room/interior cabin is so much bigger and less limitations on space taken up by a sub box for 1-12" that's the size of ur fridge. It happens.
