  1. OMG I cannot believe I am watching this vid only now. At first I thought it was a joke but damn, was I wrong. It's funny how she noticed that her eye was shaking right before Steve turned the bass up, and then before she could do anything...oops  ;D Oh man.

    Hey steve you looked a little scared at first !!!

    Man I would be disgusted if that shit fell on me :o

    OH don't even mention that...uggh  :(

    It's funny how they were both looking for it.  :D

    Hmm...I wonder if she wiped it clean before popping it back in...or did she just roll it in her mouth a few times to lube it up

  2. We have many bassheads down here in the Virgin Islands simply because we have no law for loud car audio. The bad thing is though, everyone down here dig the mainstream brands like JL, MTX, and Kicker. I haven't seen anyone down here dig stuff like RE  or Ascendant or Fi or any of the underdogs. This is why I want that, so I will be different.  :D

  3. This is really strange. For about 2 weeks now I have been experiencing much more dimming of my lights when my bass hits. Even at LOW volume my lights dim significantly. When I have the A/C on and the compressor kicks in sometimes my whole system shuts down....headunit, amp and all. Then everything comes back on. I am guessing that my voltage is dipping to 10-ish volts right when my bass hits. This tells me that my regulator on my alt. must be failing. I say so becuase as long as my compressor doesn't kick in I'm getting 13.6 V at my battery terminals while idling. Checked the battery too...12.6 V when engine is off. 13.4 V at my amp while engine is running.

    Do you guys have any other culprit in mind for this problem?

    --------------

    80 A alternator

    Coustic 1600D Sub Class D amp.

    (1) MTX 8500

    4 AWG wiring

    Stock battery

    4 Farad Power Acoustic Cap

  4. Experience has taught me that concrete walls (I'm assuming that's what you have) can be very harsh on bass response. It just makes it sound all echoy with no warmth. A wooden place would give you a better resonance. But I'm not telling you to change rooms.  :-    What you prolly should do is keep the sub to the side of the room you usually sit on the most, but pointing in the opposite direction. That way, the distance is greater which will help you catch the lows (since lower frequencies are longer waves). If that doesn't help, point it upward and see what happens.

  5. Hey...I'm Dale.... I live in the Virgin Islands. I found this site while checking out the RoE site. Sweet site. Anyway, I was so impressed with Steve's work I just had to be a part of this. I've been into audio since I was about 8 or 9-shortly thereafter I started repairing speakers (rewire, coil upgrades etc) because it was too expensive to buy one. Now it's not worth it. Bottom line...glad to be here. Peace
