  1. Where you goin' for electrical? I went up to Ferris and just finished up with my Associates in Industrial Electronics Technology and Bachelors in Electrical Engineering Technology. Was a rough 4 years with a lot of math... I think there was 22 people I started with and due to either changing majors or falling behind, there were only 7 of us after the 1st year lol.
  2. Yeah, within the last two weeks or so.
  3. Wow, Evidently you're not the only one trying to figure this out. My vote is blue to match the brakes, or raw
  4. Tested the mock-up today and it finally fit. I was looking at the RE portion and realized that I think I messed up the port length 2 size. IDK, it only messes with the tuning by about 1.5 Hz or so. If everything is set up right above with L2 as 16 1/8, I should have a cut list like this: Top: 32" x 15.5" Bottom: 32" x 15.5" Right: 14" x 14" Front: 28.5" x 14" Left: 14.75" x 14" Back: 32" x 14" Port L1: 11.25" x 14" Port L2: 16.125" x 14" Then do it all over again for box 2.
  5. Probably. Oh, and the 10 year old girl was his own daughter if I heard them on the news right.
  6. The last two hostages ran out of the place and then cops heard a gunshot, not releasing if the sick fuck shot himself or not. On one hand I hope so, because any sick bastard willing to kill random kids deserves to die. But at the same time, I wish that he could get sent to prison so he dies painfully, not by a bullet to the head. EDIT: State police helicopter just left, guess that's prolly a good sign. Will find out soon... EDIT: Yup, fucker took the easy way out and ate some lead. Guess that's one less un-medicated crazy I have to worry about...
  7. He has killed 5 adults and 2 kids, one of which was a 10 year old girl, and this was at a couple different locations. It appears that he knew at least one person at each location according to the police. They have him cornered and he's holding a 50-something year old man hostage. He is bipolar and off his meds. Watch for this on tomorrow's news, I'm sure this will be national. I'm not too worried about this event because this is quite an anomaly and I live in a nice area. He only stopped here because they blew out his tires and he went off the road after driving the wrong way on the highway. He jumped out of the car and ran down a hill and kicked in the first door he came up to.
  8. This guy went nuts here in Grand Rapids MI and has killed 7 so far and the police think they have him cornered in a house less than a 1/2 mile from me! He's holding hostages and has released one so far. I-96 is closed down for both directions here.

  9. So, this one should work then: And if I make two mock ups of this and they don't fit.... Ima just say screw it and make one box at 14h x 28.5w x 16d with 2 sealed chambers so that each sub gets exactly 1.2 cubes and call it good till I go to put these in my next car. Sealed will prolly sound terrible though lol. Idk actually, that may not be such a bad idea since the bass would be tighter and not as boomy and I would be listening to more rock again. But it would definitely be quieter. Might also have to use 1" instead of 3/4".
  10. Fucking intense, it's like a burp track with a with some background music.
  11. Thanks for your help man, shit is giving me a headache but I'm determined to build this myself. I'll run some more numbers tomorrow and see what I can come up with. Bought 8 cardboard boxes and only used 2 so far, will definitely have no trunk after these subs, but I only want to build the boxes once.
  12. Net volumes. I was told anything with a port area per foot > 10in^2 was good? I saw that the port area was just under the range on the L-Port design, and an 8" port gave me some pretty high tuning numbers, lol.
  13. I wondered about this too because my news subs are being built right now and they have an Fs of 34Hz, so I said screw it and I'm trying it.
  14. Step one - go to store Step two - buy real food Step three - eat real food and never again buy frozen repackaged dog food a.k.a. Stouffers lol jk, try out the Bob Evans refrigerated kind if your broke or just DUMP on pepper or some kind of Mrs. Dash, that might help.
  15. Tried the mock up and there's no chance of it fitting in through the back unless it was at least an inch smaller in every direction. Kinda thinking about doing 2 identical but separate boxes: Option A: Sub up L-port up Box: 16h * 30w * 16d Port: 14.5 * 2.25 * 22 2.74 ft^3 33.94Hz Port Area: 32.63in^2 11.91Port area per foot Option B: PVC Port on end, sub either up or on the opposite end Box: 15h * 30w * 15d Port: 2 @ 4" x 19L 2.53 ft^3 34.00Hz Port Area: 25.12 in^2 9.93 Port area per foot Port area values are a lot lower on these, but I couldn't get the tuning right if I went larger. Please leave some feedback if you've read this far, lol.
  16. It's got good reviews over at Sonic Electronics, but idk about power ratings for these. I know the old series, Discus IIRC, did rated+ and I think these are supposed to be the replacements for them. MB quart is known for being a SQ style more than and SPL style, but they're supposed to be good. Towards the top end of Maxxsonics brands I think. EDIT: Sorry for the thread jacking OP.
  17. LOL, my bet is that it's a typo. Keep an eye out for little stuff like that because one that was FULL of typos about 2 weeks ago was the RE MX 18's. If something don't seem right, check with the manufacturer. Just looked up the RE MX on both and the box sizes are still wrong. I usually go to the contact us page and send them a small message letting them know which areas are wrong and what the right values are.
  18. THIS will keep you under budget and give you room to expand later on down the road if you want. EDIT: There's also THIS one if you need a wiring kit too. EDIT 2: Just go to AudioSavings because they have a bunch of killer deals in your price range.
  19. Here's a pretty good list of grain free dog foods that you could look for: GRAIN FREE DRY DOG FOOD Basically they are all rated 4~5 stars and have no grain. Here's a comprehensive list if you don't want to read the other stuff on the site: Acana Grain-Free (Dry) Addiction Dog Food (Dry) American Natural Premium (Dry) Annamaet Grain Free (Dry) Artemis Fresh Mix Maximal Dog (Dry) Back to Basics Dog Food (Dry) Before Grain Dog Food (Dry) Blue Buffalo Wilderness (Dry) Brothers Complete Allergy Formula (Dry) Brothers Complete Grain Free (Dry) California Natural Grain Free (Dry) Canidae Grain Free Pure (Dry) Canine Caviar Grain-Free (Dry) Dogswell Nutrisca (Dry) Earling Brothers Grain Free (Dry) Earth Naturals Dog Food (Dry) Earthborn Holistic Grain Free (Dry) Earthborn Holistic Primitive Natural (Dry) EVO Dog Food (Dry) FirstMate Grain-Free (Dry) Fromm Four Star Nutritionals (Dry) Fromm Four Star Nutritionals Grain-Free (Dry) Go Natural Dog Food (Dry) Go Natural Grain Free (Dry) Holistic Blend Grain Free (Dry) Horizon Legacy (Dry) Infinia Dog Food (Dry) Lotus Dog Food (Dry) Natural Balance Alpha Dog (Dry) Nature's Domain Dog Food (Dry) Nature's Select Grain Free (Dry) Nature's Variety Instinct (Dry) Nature's Variety Instinct Limited Ingredient Diet (Dry) Now Grain Free Dog Food (Dry) NutriSource Grain Free (Dry) Orijen Adult (Dry) Orijen Puppy (Dry) Pelican Bay Dog Food (Dry) Pinnacle Grain Free (Dry) Pinnacle Peak Protein Formula (Dry) Premium Edge Healthy Weight Reduction (Dry) Solid Gold Barking at the Moon (Dry) Solid Gold Sun Dancer (Dry) Taste of the Wild (Dry) TimberWolf Wild and Natural (Dry) Victor Grain Free Dog Food (Dry) Wellness Core Dog Food (Dry) I know that Wellnes brand is pretty good too, but IIRC Taste of the Wild was cheaper.
  20. I'm with dankmans, Taste of the Wild is awesome shit and has NO corn, corn meal, or other shitty fillers that cause most dogs to eat and shit more than they need to. Here's some pics of the kind I feed my dog, including ingredients and daily health values:
  21. Did some more measuring earlier and got some cardboard boxes so I could make a mock up of the first box. If that leaves me with extra room, there may be room for changes to the width
  22. Getting out of work soon and something dawned on me. Would it be better/worse or no different if I were to tune to the subwoofer's Fs, which is right at 34Hz? I was aiming for 33 anyways, so it's not like I would really notice much of a difference, just got me curious though...
