  1. That's still chokingly small. I would say ~60 sq in of port as a minimum (I'm using 73 for my current box) What's your port shape? I didn't mean it like total area of port, 16sq in per cube. Sorry i didn't explain it better! haha. I built a box for a XL 18, Has 6.06 after, and 18 sq in per cube with 114 sq in of port area. Just to give you a rough idea though. Oh, my bad. I thought you meant total LOL. In that case stick to 12-16 sq in per cubic foot. I like to err towards the larger side of a port when possible since it gets louder. But also be aware that with a larger port - the sub will unload faster when it drops below the tuning point

  3. You could try getting some self adhesive foam weatherstripping at home depot or something and use it to suppliment the stock seal where the bend is
  4. Ok. Do you know of a place that sells chopped fiberglass 'hair'(like the stuff that comes out of a fiberglass chopper gun or what is used in kitty hair) to I can mix it with my resin when I do 45s?
  5. As the title suggests... Would it be beneficial to coat the inside of a ported box in something like Second Skin's Spectrum Sludge to get rid of any resonances within it?
  6. Or even better: something hidden like this http://www.homedepot.com/h_d1/N-5yc1v/R-202453948/h_d2/ProductDisplay?langId=-1&storeId=10051&catalogId=10053 but I will be pulling 1800 watts through it
  7. It's on one right now. But I would like to clean it up a bit, hide the power strip, and have a switch next to where I am sitting since the amp is across the room Ahhhh. Yeah like said, You can get these lamp like turn on's, That have wireless remotes. They would work great. Walmart, Target, or along those lines would have one. Something like this? http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=17101312&findingMethod=rr Exactly! Thanks. I just need one that's 3 prong with a really beefy cord

  9. Wire a switch to the power outlet? Exactly. That's the part I am wondering about
  10. Is there an easy way to turn on my power outlet with a switch of some sort? Something cheap?
  11. If you are sure that all of your trunk seals are 100% good, you have no moisture under the mats, and nothing damp in the trunk - you could try putting some painters dessicant in there to soak up the humidity
  12. I want to go crawl in a hole right now because it is such a noob mistake... The midbass that was about 3 feet away from the sub was out of phase You were right n8
  13. Same thing. But it seemed to go away regardless of phase when I turned my mids and high off? Let me go play around with this a little bit. I will be back
  14. Checked the input (3.5mm to XLR), then checked the crossover(XLR to XLR), then checked the wires going from the amp to the sub(Red to Red to Red). I am using a mixer, DJ crossover, and a DJ amp but using car subwoofers. And it plays completely normal at low volumes, It's only at high volumes that it shifts the peak from being say +5mm - -5mm to +3mm - -7mm
  15. I don't mean pulls in when it should be pushing out. I mean that it plays in phase, but it's like the entire sine wave has shifted so that the 'zero' point is no longer true 'zero,' but like it's in the negative
  16. I should also add that it still plays bass like it should - just like it's only on the back half of the x-max
  17. Why would a subwoofer suck in under heavy bass lines? I have tries it with 3 different subs, 2 different amps, a mixer, and an iPod + phone with RCA plugs and all have the same effect of sucking in on loud bass lines. Could it be an issue with the ported box? It also happens regardless of song or sine wave
  18. As the title suggests. I would like to buy a pair of working Ascendant Audio Carbon Mids.
  19. https://ssl.perfora.net/www.ficaraudio.com/sess/utn154ea1df7e42cee/shopdata/0050_Speakers/0050_IB3/product_overview.shopscript Not sure if this is what you are looking for... Can I ask why you want such a low Fs?
