these ants are in for a rude awakening, maybe I'll torture them and hold them infront of a port

FL Studio:
To Enhance an existing bassline open up EQUO and pull the sliders up win the 2-80hz range.
Use Fruity Limiter to stop clipping.
x2, and the BPM tempo slider at the top of the window is the easiest way to slow the song...

I've got them all over my desk and I look onto my carpet floor and I can see like 1 for every 2 feet I look. How should I go about exterminating these dumbass's? I've stopped all food in my room. Should I spray every inch of the room with raid or something?
Spray around the edge of the room along the baseboards, try to get it up under really well, If you don't mind huffing bug spray it can't hurt to do the carpet as well, and yea, stop eating in ur room, and get some bait traps when u can, they're like little roach motels for ants. If you can kind of find where they are coming in, spray there well and seal it up. Also get kill-on-contact/extended kill combination spray. It'll kill em and keep killing em for a few weeks.

Whats up? Got a question. I live in a small town and the baddest bass around here is a dude that has 2 solo x 18s in a 2 door impala donk. I have a 90 suburban and thinking of walling off the back or make it a two seater. What subs and amps would for sure smoke him? Ive been looking at 2 new fi btl 18s.
Post a new topic, and be sure to include how much you are willing to spend on your set up. then people will give u recommendations.
-
buy anything but make sure the box is strong, tuned and constructed properly cuz if it aint even the most expensive subs will sound dead. well i'd prefer u buy sony xplod subs as they're great for every type of music.
Blind leading the blind...^^^

What is the proper way to connect them to the wire without soder?
Crimping. With a crimping tool.
-
I'm no professional, but I dont think it's the best idea to ground it to the battery. Might be a decent idea to ground closer to the amp.
The battery is in the trunk. The diagram shows pretty much where everything is placed. my amp's ground wire is like 10 inches long. and the 0 AWG from that bolt to the battery is like 6 inches long.

If you got to 40 then that would be 1600 watts, but that has nothing to do with the amp blowing. You should have been looking for around 33.5 volts for 1 ohm, if you where looking for 1100 watts. But I have heard of amps blowing during testing with no load connected to set gains, usually means that something is just defective, weak parts. Clipping wouldn't hurt the amp unless there was load connected.
time to send the amp to dbr. shoud be about 200 including the cost of shipping both ways
Dbr? And the amps under warranty. Besides, the amp new is like 180.99. I sent it to soundstream. i'll hear what they have to say about the coverage on it. it IS under warranty, i've only had it 1 month of the year. but i don't know if they'll cover it.
ya dbr. they are an amp repair company that has a very good reputaion. if its under waranty then they SHOULD fix it
or send you a brand new one of the latest model. thats what kicker and fosgate does if you blow their woofers and its
still under warranty.
I hope they fix it. And ya, i'll keep repairs in mind for the future, but for now, it'd be cheaper to buy another one that get repaired if it was 200. Doesn't matter right now anyway, i still have to give Soundstream a call and see if they've processed it yet. The UPS tracking said it just got there today. So i'll give them till tuesday or wednesday and call them.

Start with everything at min for the next one, just keep the hu volume the same and make sure all of you hu setting are set, like sub boost.
Will do. I NEVER use bass boost on my HU or ipod.. so that should be alright... I'll double check my actual Eq too, but i'm pretty sure it's fine.. Should i do this with the bass knob/remote gain knob connected or not? If i disconnect it it's the same as if it was all the way up? and it's a bass knob for the amp, not one of the RCA ones..

Well good i guess? glad to hear it might just have been defective. And yea i know the voltage was too high, i was in the process of adjusting that, i know i should've started at the bottom and worked up... and is it safe to meter the next one the same way? Or should i do something different?
-
Probably blew the power supply, and what ohm load would you have been running? If the gain is too high, it will just clip.
2 DVC 4 Ohm wired to 1 ohm.
And
A.can clipping blow the power supply
B.will a warranty cover that.... lol
-
If the gain was to high what would happen? It'll clip right? could that blow the amp? cause it's possible it put out more than 1700 watts for too long? would that fry it?
**EDIT
Sorry if that's a stupid question. i just never thought about it.. i didn't think it WOULD put out more than 1700...but i just did the math, if the DMM ever read 40+ which i think it did, then it could blow right?? cause that's more than 1700 watts..
-
What was your max reading on the DMM? And what amp?
Soundstream DTR 1700 watt RMS.. and to be honest i don't remember what it read... I know the gain was 4/5 the way up give or take. I was tuning it so that at 3/4 HU volume, where i keep it, the amp would be at 1,100 watts. I don't remember what it was reading when it blew though. 30-50 volts region.
-
You can't rule out voltage drop unless you know what the voltage was at the amp when it happened, big reason why I install a voltage meter when I install an amp in any of my vehicles. But are you sure there wasn't a wire, one strand connecting the 12v+ and remote to make you read 14 volt? If not then who knows why it blew would have to see the inside of it to confirm. Did you get any reading on the DMM or just a zero the whole time, basically were you ever not in protect mode?
It was FINE, reading full output as i was tuning it for the first 20 seconds of the tone, then all of the sudden the DMM showed zero, so i lifted the trunk lid and it was in protect. It went into protect in the middle of the tone. and I was just pointing out, after the fact, and after the amp was blown, boon had me check random stuff with the DMM, and one of the things that turned out effed up was the fact that the remote input is shorted to ground, inside the amp. I didn't open the amp cause it's still under warranty, IF they'll warranty whatever happened. I'll know monday or tuesday...
-
Ok, I had another post about this, but it wasn't specifically about this, so here's the deal. I was tuning my gain with a DMM, with the probes screwed into the terminals, so NO, the outputs did not short! Anyway, I was metering it, and about half way through the tone, the DMM read 0 volts, i look at the amp, and it's protecting. NOW the amp protects with nothing but power, ground, remote. EVEN with just power and ground it protects. I sent the amp to soundstream to get it repaired, hopefully under warranty. Anyway, If i get it fixed or replaced, i don't want it to happen again. I don't know what happened. No one was able to tell me what was wrong with the amp either. One strange thing is that if i place the DMM between the +12v and Remote, it reads 14 volts, as if the remote turn on is shorted to ground. Boon said that the power supply section is probably fried, but WHY did this happen? I can rule out output shorts... Only thing i can say is i'm on a stock batt and stock alt, could the power supply blow from Low voltage?
The amp DOES HAVE low voltage, high voltage, output short, and overheat protection.... I will post a pic of my wiring to see if anyone sees something wrong. I'm drawing the conclusion that the Amp was defective, but i'm not hooking up the new one until i'm absolutely positive. Any help would be much appreciated. Anything i didn't cover, just ask. Here is my wiring:

Take the door off, but don't underestimate how heavy a car door is. Especially if your light like me lol. And just mark the hinges, u'll be fine.

Sweet. Thanks for the input guys! Only bad thing I have heard was that on the t5s they used cheap glue to glue the surround to the cone and it separates, but thats not a big deal, can easily be fixed...
My main concern now is port area and these enclosures being ok for the t5s....ive looked everywhere online but cant seem to find anything that gives me an answer as far as port area, all the calculators come up with crazy numbers....i got exact enclosure measurements now if they could help in someone helping mme find the port area? I would really appreciate it! Thanks!
Enclosure (Outer dimensions, wood thickness included- 0.75" MDF)
20" deep
15" tall
40" wide
Port dimensions (Dimensions PER port, total of 4 ports, 1 per sub, inside dimensions, wood thickness not included) - (SLOT PORTS) -
13.5" tall
2.5" wide
22" long
Haha sorry man i can't help with the ports and such, i'm REALLY not the type for custom boxes. I build mine, but i build directly from manufacturers specs. Someone will get back to you on that, as for the T5's surround, I'd say there's not much to worry about with that, Unless you're giving em too much power. Soundstream subs can really take a beating.

ok. heres the question can anyone give me a 3d view how this should look
Says
Vented
Optimum 2Cu
F3 of 33hz
Tuned 36hz
Port 4x18 and Qty 3 ports my question is the (3ports) how does that look or be built??!
i have 2 of these subs and i already have a decent box for them a nice prefab but want to build a 34hz or this 36hz box my main question is the porting. or if someone has any ideas be great thanks!
nick
If you need dimensions or plans for a box, you have to give some info like dimensions of the trunk or hatch you're putting it in, port shape and design depends somewhat on the box shape and design.
**EDIT
Are you talking 4" diameter ports, 18" long? x3?

fuck! i figured so, i hate scammers with a passion
Scammer? You sent the code to the wrong person lol
still a scam if you think about it lol
yea i didnt just send it to some random user.
he messaged me asking for the code, i assumed hes the one that payed and sent it to him. damn im pissed out 45 bucks and a back feedback bss....
Dude, u made 45 bucks, so go buy a what was it, $50 itunes card, and send him that code. How would he know if it's the right one? you'll be out 5 dollars, and an itunes card, but you'll avoid bad feedback and ebay problems...
-
nice wenn! those are cheap as hell, so if they sound decent thats a good deal!
How well do they fit, are they pretty snug?
I know it probably differs from ear to ear but just a generic answer would work, lol
i was looking at the beats ones - are the tour ones good? they are going for 40-50 new on ebay.,,
Ya sorry that's what they are called. The studio size is called something, the smaller ones are called "solo" and the ear buds are called "tour" and yea, those are freaking amazing. if you run by best buy they'll have a pair hooked up u can listen to and see if u like them.
-
Dudeee. Dr. Dre beats earbuds are AMAZING. Best bass i've ever heard in an earbud... but idk about under 50... so this was not a helpful answer. sorry.
-
you should get a 600......lmao. hate those 600's......
Ive read alot on the bmw. REALLY nice bike. And I think it is currently the fastest bike out...clean power, very stylish, and just plain bad ass!!! I dont care for the dry clutch on the ducati, unless that was changed recently. like the styling, but eh....
I myself am a busa fan. I know there is faster, but I love the lines....(hate the new one!!!)
That there is a man's bike.. way to much a bike for me... That vid on youtube of the guy topping out an R1 and the busa flys passed... DAMN
Op, ducati all the way.

Take the list of everything you just made, then go look at amazon, or sonicelectronix, then realize how much you are over spending, then realize how much BETTER and LOUDER your system will be if you buy the right stuff from the right places, and try to install it yourself. Trust me man, best buy has it's limits, and if you are serious about car audio, you need to start with DIY, and your OWN car is the place to start. If you ever plan to get really deep into this, you will be able to do SO MUCH MORE than just buying stuff and getting it installed. 1/2 of my love for car audio, is installing. the other half is listening... just my opinion.

Have you pressed on the cones? checked the suspension? make sure it's not rubbing anywhere? could be a damaged VC or something..
