  3. Is this sub beyond repair?

    in SKAR AUDIO - (READ ONLY ARCHIVE)

    Posted

    I have a sub that I have had sitting around for awhile and when I finally got around to installing it I found that it was bent as if it were dropped. I feel like someone in my family knocked it off the table and just picked it up. I thought it was just bent so I installed it anyway and found that it leaked air like crazy.

    Anyway I took it out again and found out that its cracked, I figure I can get it reconed but the basket looks pretty bad, and I dont want to just toss it... it seems like a waste of a huge magnet and a coil.

    Here are some pictures

    I wouldn't know about dementia and all that, but I have to live wirh my grandma. She's just getting old and realizing that she is losing money and whatnot. Plus she got in, what I guess I would say minor car accident and she has gotten more angry at the world. She always tries to argue about everything and she is always negative. And she likes to talk shit too, all the time, its like she feeds off of negative things. So I sorta know where you come from. You know I really didn't mind my grandma when I saw her once every few weeks or so.

    Still a few loose wires and the bass knob still needs to be mounted, but it is much better than before.

    Been slacking off on the a pillar tweeter pods but hopefully those will be done soon. I'm starting to also not want the kickpanels because the tweeters are somewhat blocked and I cant use the parking brake, and I found out that I need to put the parking brake in place to compete. For a spot to put both speakers, I was thinking about fiberglassing the door panels. I also might have to rebuild the box so its under the window-line. But for now I gotta put car audio on hold somewhat because summers here.

    I wanted to start putting on a show annualy and 10 bucks to get in and compete have a big BBQ and all the cash gets split up between the top some odd percent how ever many show would be cool and fun I guess something for all the bass heads in my area to come to because far as I know only one show in north dakota lot of people have big systems but nowhere to show it off

    You live in North Dakota? There was two shows in the past month here.

  20. First Car Comp/Show First 150 and 160db

    in Car Shows

    Went to my first competition today and it was pretty sweet. I didn't know there was so much car audio activity in ND. There was probably 20+ vehicles with various sound systems. Mostly it was kicker, I also saw JBL, DD, and a few other brands. I was thinking about metering my single cab but I didn't feel like it was presentable, and if I did I was going to have to compete in some other class besides stock because my box was above the windowline by a inch or so.

    Anyway, the First 150 I heard was in some extended cab truck with 6 kicker 15" subs walled (maybe they were 12's). They turned it up and I got a listen. It was pretty loud, and the guy who demoed it said it did a 150.

    And Blaine Trones the guy with a 160...

    He was metered that day and did a little over 160 at 47hz. It has 4 kicker Solo X's walled, 4 Kicker Warhorses, and 16 batteries in the back.

    It was by far the loudest I have ever heard... from the outside. I got to stand next to the passenger door and listen as everyone was hopping in and out. I would have sat in it but after about halfway through the second song he had to quit because it was starting to smell. It was LOUD for sure but I imagine it wasnt playing 160db when he was demoing, which makes me wonder what it sounds like when people play mid 60's on music.

    I am going to this again next year and then I will be competing. Its pretty cool how much fun you can have at these events when you dont know a single person there. Well thats it, thanks for reading.
