honestly, decaf is your best bet for questions like that. He understands it MUCH better than I do.

Either way, I won't be playing bass boosted songs. Just regular with alot of bass

just tune with -5 man..decaf will tell you the same thing.and if your just playn "regular" music just check it in wmp to be safe.i do it with EVERY song i plan to play..better safe than sorry

1MM? Shit I could make that flush with a little work lol

My first box had 1/4-1/3 inch gaps in places - but I put it together with liquid nails (don't remember which one) since it was thick enough to fill in the gaps. I threw in an empty dumpster from the second floor and it didn't break apart. Sooo yeah

Lmao, alright well thanks guys. I'll see how thebox turns out.. the 45's going to be tricky not sure how to go about it. N8 wanna come make it flush then? Lmao. I'll ship it to you

I just pm'd ray earlier about that same question because my seleniums and super tweets sound great but take a lot of tuning to find the sound and since I am rebuilding I was going to run 2 6 2 8 and 2 super tweets but I saw a post by ray that had me rethinking I just want to run a 3 way setup that's sqish but I like the distance my setup now has and it still sounds clean pm me I have questions

Your supertweets will get loud, as I was told BUT the don't have that overall kinda surround sound.. he has another word for it but it's aimed at one position rather than a convential tweet that covers more area if that makes sense.. YOU PM ME ahah to lazy.

nice meeting you today. i used to have 4 pro audio speakers and 4 aluminum tweets. no mid bass at all. as it is right now wiith only front stage 2 tweets 2 3s and 2 6s its WAY louder than it has ever been

Correct. It was just an analogy

Lmao, okay sounds great.. it adjusts to the needs of the batteries and the car is all I needa know thank you sir.

BTW, hopefully I'll find the little dial on the alternator to turn it down so it's so much.. lmao XD

I kid I kid.

Lmao, damn you. Had me worry I did something wrong xD good one.. I need my amp already!!

When's it supposed to be coming in?

Wendnesday and should be up ad playing depending on if Rick wants to come over with his Smd dd1

I always sand my terminals. I saw someone that some have coats on them to make them look shiny, which takes away from conductivity.

Lol, I already bought the gold anyways.. You guys are slow! Now I need a nice looking volt meter! I'd perfer not to spend a billion dollars either haha

This one is less than a billion http://compare.ebay....&cbt=y&bigimg=y

Probably cost saving things like no quality control, assembly line manufacturing, cheap, fast curing glue, not a ton of time spent with design and testing, stamped vs cast baskets, etc

Small magnet too

Ah, okay so basicly it's not a bad sub, it's just not going to last..

So then with lower independence, the THD would rise therefore that's why the distortion is higher at lower ohms? Also, the THD is higher at lower ohms because the amps less efficent? Or does the efficency have nothing to do with SQ?

The best way to say it is: The speakers dont sound better, the amps sound better. THD, damping etc on the amp changes with impedance

And higher impedance means less stress on electrical, allowing the amps to see more true power if your electrical is not efficient for lower impedance...or something like that...sry sleepy.

You feeling better man?

I wouldn't say better is the right word... But less bad. Thanks!

Less bad, haha well that's good man. You'll find out what it is no worries just keep your head up!

Damn yea its hard to find people in the bay.

what?? there plenty of bassheads in the bay area, a lot even on here.

Sorry lemme rephrase.. someone to text here within a 30 mile distance.. can't find much. Least not arond here in the small town.

Haha, if i get a 12 i can get it now.. 15 i gotta wait a bit but man am I impatient -__- specially when people are bumpin with there kicker comps.. like honestly.. sigh.

If you're impatient, get the 12, then build a box and make it slam. A big majority of how it sounds depends on the box.

Yeah, I think im just gunna wait till I get a lil more cash for a 15 so im not regreting it later.

I can't build boxes well so im done on that one xD

Yeah, I'll toss Em on the charger see if that helps any. Wouldn't they be charged by te alt by now? I know I shouldn't use the alt to charge them so I'll be purchasing a charger soon. Not sure what one.

Getting rid of the wet cell would be nice to see. As far as a charger, try a battery tender plus. nice slow trickle charge.

Would charging the back xs and front wet cell increase my idle voltage? Also ll Ditch the wet cell when funds allow for sure

Thanks guys.

Should I use the 1/2th in order to pull it over the 0 gauge? Imma need one for my 4 gauge as well.

wire loom

Tape holding it down? Ah its one of those newfangled floating amps eh? Derp.

Try driving in the rain ONLY? And make sure you are using more cowbell.

I used both cowbells.. I only drive when it's cold

Just checked the manual. .03 cuft

Thanks Snow, prob put one of them in my girls car, box building time!

Thank you Rmichael as well.

rattle can = rice

same here, rust/faded paint < walled off

Lmao, it's not to the rattle can point fellers... it's all about the audio.. just got my battery

I'm running a group 34 as a starter, and looking at the group 31 as a secondary battery.

I got the group 34 for $90 as a clearance deal, and Skrilla, and Eflako seem to be having great luck with them.

http://www.remybatte...tery-P9239.aspx

Yeah but is that going to support 1.6k rms on a 90a alt? I also can't find there 31 battery.. I can ONLY have one battery, no room anywhere else.

Maybe try the new crescendo battery?

Anyone have an Eclipse?

Take it to singer. Bring money. Enough said. He will make you proud.

Lol, no idea who singer is, I'd like to build my own tho

I would go ahead and buy it.

Yeah, but how much would a recone be for it? Around 120?

Around 115.

Wrong link lol http://www.sonicelec...60_PAC-LC1.html

x2 on the LC-1.

LC-1

I'm getting one myself haha

if your going to install it all at once then who cares, right either or

Lol, I know.. Just trying to think what's more fun, I guess wiring being that I can at least do something in the mean time.

wires

apexi n mufflers are quiet

It's a doche 2.0 liter

And yee haters it's a eclipse 1997

going from the battery to the alt? I haven't looked into how the big three is setup but was told I will need a fuse holder for one of the wires I upgrade in the big three. Was I misinformed?

People argue both ways. I say no need to fuse between alt and batt. Just run the wire smartly.

Ah, well that would leave me with an extra fuse holder being I bought three. Also four 300 amp fuses, guess it's better to be safe than sorry.

Break them in loud, they'll play loud. That's my philosophy.

let them slam.

I've wondered the same thing. So why is it that some manufacturers say you should break in thier woofers? is it cause they want warranty to run out before you start pounding on them.

Hmm.. alright. I'll see if i can get it for 200 thanks for the input.

Yeah, it's got upgraded spider and dual tensel leads. Thoughts now?

Stay on your idea of 200 only is a bnib one, than 250.
