  6. sub/port firing

    in General Audio - Can't find a category for your question? Ask here.

    Posted · Edited by PandorasCustoms

    From what I have seen (heard) Rear / Rear is the best configuration for most Trunk based ported setups; unless you are going to be setting up a trunk wall and sealing the trunk from the cabin. I just did a design for Rear facing subs with the port going through the center armrest slot and the builder said he really likes the performance of the enclosure.

    But, he is trying to seal as much as he can....

  8. Throttle Body Spacer

    in Engine and Performance - Anything for that couple extra horses!

    Posted · Edited by PandorasCustoms

    Getting a throttle body apacer is going to increase the velocity of air going into ur intake manifold which will decrease the time it takes for the a/f ratio to enter the combustion chamber. Cutting material off the intake system shudnt be a problem, the throttle body spacer will. Replace that 3/4 chopp. Also give u better fuel economy and a slight increase in torque. Dont bother adding an intake or tbs unless u have an aftermarket exhaust system. U have to match increase intake u if u dont u will loose power due to exhaust gas restricion leaving the cylinders

    Yup, same take I have on this scenario. I know a lot of kids who put full Cold Air kit in their vehicles with factory manifolds and exhaust systems. Yeah, it gives it a little more "VROOOM", but the performance gain is about 1/4 of what it is if you did the same modification on a system with all aftermarket Exhaust components.

    Headers, High-Flow Cat and High-Flow Mufflers would make the whole setup run well...

    Edit: I got side tracked with the Intake.

    But, Throttle Body Spacers do work, although I think many manufacturers "Over estimate" the gains. I think actual horsepower is minimal, but response and torque go up. I did some work on a friends car. Lil' 3.2 V6 and it made a significant difference in his "Take-Off" time... But once you were on the move, it didn't feel any different.

  9. how to find displacement

    in Subwoofers / Enclosures

    Posted

    do add the port displacement to the rest of the internal volume when getting your volume for the woofers?

    Depends, most manufactirers list their recommended enclosure sizes after Woofer and Port dsiplacement.

    But, for all of my designs (Since I have yet to actually use the "manu. recomm."), I exclude it from the volumes in my calculations.

  12. So whos had a run in with mice?

    in Off Topic - Random, Misc posts - the forum "Junk Drawer"

    Posted

    Had a field mouse find a hole (or made it) in a brick wall in my old house.

    The house I was staying in was tiny, probably 500 sq'.

    My cat and I spent thirty minutes tearing the whole house apart... Couch flipped over, dressers drawers all ripped out, bed taken apart... Chasing the thing everywhere.

    After finally getting a hold of him, I had noticed that apparently it wasn't the first run-in he had with my cat.

    So, I let him go in a field a few blocks from my house and never had another problem since.

    God you all don't understand..I'm drunk..this is murphy's pub

    Oh, I got it. But, you should be fine. Just take a few slices here and there to help sober up.

  18. Running differ system and android?

    in Cell Phone Central - Sprint, AT&T, Verizon - All things Cellular

    Posted · Edited by PandorasCustoms

    Rooting didn't cause the problems. Mods caused the problems. You can root a phone and do no mods and the phone will be exactly the same but rooted. That's as ignorant as saying vented enclosures are boomy and should be avoided for SQ. IJS.

    Get a Samsung Galaxy phone that you can push images into. you gotta work hard to hard brick one of these.

    Oh, yeah I know. Rooting just unlocks administrative features and applications.

    It was the applications he hated, and honestly, he had never worked with Linux before, so this didn't help at all...

    But, like I said, rooting gives features the retailer never intended to be available

  19. Running differ system and android?

    A friend of mine rooted his DroidX and hated it.

    Caused more problems than it was worth. He has an iOS look-a-like and it froze all the time.

    But, yes, Android is based off of a Linux Kernel. Thus, "ROOTING" is the term given to jail-breaking it. A ROOT user in Linux terms is the highest level of administrator.

    You especially need to be careful as a root user on a phone because you do have the capability to accidently delete portions of the phones OS.

  20. Funny Story

    in Video Games (All consoles) Ratings, previews, demos......the latest

    Posted

    Yeah, its kind of funny playing BlackOps. I play and get an average of 4-1 KTD in Domination games and peope get so pissed. I went 50-1 one game and got reported by the entire other team. I love walking into lobbies with welfare 15th prestigers. They get there rank from playing HOURS instead of playing well.

    Now, just to clear myself. I am not a hacker and have never considered it. I actually try to aovid map glitches too.

  21. NS-1 and SAE-500D Prototype Pictures

    * Little SAE-500D Prototype hanging out -- this is not the final case; just have not tooled up the case I'll use yet.

    If you get this thing going, it would be an incredible little ~800 watts amplifier.

    Even if it isn't the final case, it looks slick. I love plain and simple looks.

    Flashy is nice for car shows, but I have aways preferred something to be effective instead of pretty.

    I am assuming this won't be .5 stable daily on music...correct?

    Last fall, I had a Pumpkin Spice beer, it was 15.5% and came in a 24oz bottle.... One of the best damn beers I ever had. I ended "wobbling" home since I drank 3-1/2 of them...

    That sounds hella good, what was the name of it?

    Honestly wished I remembered, I guess I could go back to the bar I got it from and find out. Just haven't been back there in a while.

    The only thing beneficial about a bad economy is my beer gut has slowly been going away...

  25. Distortion Detector VS O-scope REASON #11 to use the DD-1

    in SMD Distortion Detector (DD-1) Topics

    Posted

    I think one thing that is not being "overlooked" but understated...

    Not everyone on the street or every car audio enthusiast knows how to work an O-scope. I use one occasionally at work, but have never had the opportunity to use one in a car audio scenario.

    This tool will allow the hobbyist to afford a tool that will 1,000% help them keep from destroying their equipment, something they couldn't get before without going to a shop and having someone set it for them.

    I can't express how excited I am about this product and what it puts on the table. Now, just getting the wife to agree with the expense, and I will have on in my tool-bag right next to the DMM.
