  1. Arn't you guys tuning too low for a 4th order?

    there is no such thing as too low, the tuning is decided by the thiele small parameters, all subs are different. thats like saying that tuning an 8" below 40 hz is too low. it all depends on the drivers.

    that being said, i dont know why anyone runs Fi, their T/S specs are so terrible, DC subs are better in EVERY way (t/s wide), and im not a bandwagoneer, i havent even touched a DC sub.

  2. personally i love 1:.5 compression, they usually have an extremely high fidelity, and can get easily 50hz of bandwidth out of them, but running higher compression is louder, its peaky as hell and doesnt really play a full range of sounds, i'll build some boxes out of OSB next week and show you what i mean. when you run a much larger sealed chamber, you can tune alot higher with the ported chamber, and still get amazing lows, due to the lower F3 in the sealed partition.

  3. a good pray gun huh? try the jesus4000.

    all jokes aside, the purple HVLP guns from harbor freight really arent that bad, i just need to get a decent compressor on my tank and i'll be ready to paint, you guys might want to pull your compressor off of its tank and see how much water is in the tanks (if any), thats a great way to lose pressure and airspace. ours was like 5 years old and we drained like 5 gallons out of it, lol.

  4. just so everyone understands, opening your windows expands the cabin space, and if your woofers waveform cant completely form with the windows up, it can get all the cabin space it needs with the windows down. it has alot to do with tuning tho. the higher the tuning, the less space it needs for the wave to completely form. im sure someone will call bullshit on this, but thats just how it works.

    Anyone who understands constand mouth transmission lines will understand what im trying to say.

  5. I have a 2008 focus and I have a relay on my clutch switch to bypass it but I'm getting a failure code still. Is there a way to bypass my clutch and not have the code pop up?

    why are you bypassing the clutch?

    i think its so he can access the radios menu while driving. just find the sensor on the clutch/clutch pedal and jump the wire, im sure its just a grounded pin switch.

  6. 4 gauge.... shit... theres your problem. your amp can only amplify the amount of amps that the power wire carries, regaurdless of gain settings. buy yourself some 1/0 and do yourself a favor.

    like said above, what voice coils do your subs have, and give us some info on the box. i could build a custom toilet out of plywood, doesnt mean its gonna work. FI subs hate being tuned low, i have no idea why, something with the kind of suspensions and coils FI uses.

    plus, your port could be choking the subs.

    you seem to have more money than knowledge, i say just get yourself a deep cycle marine battery and swap it in. you'll be suprised what it can do.

    i guess now i want to do 1 15" or 2 12"s actually, for room reasons. amps will be in the side panels.

    i want heavy low end, so im more than likely going with: http://www.diycable.com/main/product_info.php?cPath=24&products_id=693

    Just crunched some numbers, and it looks like a 1/1 ratio 4th order (3ft^3~3ft^3) tuned to 43 hz with 100in^2 of port mouth should give it a decent response curve, with a perfect-world F3 of about 26.5hz.

  8. nice start.. who much room do you have in the trunk? i think 2 12s would be nice... with 2 15s you probly have no room in the truck when ur done with it...

    sry, just saw this, the trunk on this thing is actually pretty big. i'll post pics later today after i hook up my rockfords. part of the sealed portion will be in the spare tire well, which is actually MASSIVE. should be a fun build, talked to surreal innovations and im thinking a 1024 18" on a crescendo 3500 for a first system, 4th order ported through the rear deck. can i just say, running 1/0 through this car was damn near IMPOSSIBLE.

  9. op, dont buy anything that has a high qts, and make sure you see a responce graph of the actual driver its self. madisound is where i go for decent drivers at a fairly decent price, but SQ can be loud, alot of people dont believe that. takes a grip of power and fat wallet but you will be much happier.
