i wash mine in the dish washer then stuff a hand towel in it to keep its shape while it dries. edit: but dont do it with dishes in their too. lol

i call BS i havent seen any threads that Meade has started about this! edit: ninja'd. lol

You dont NEED a crossover, it would be nice to have one but if money is an issue you can purchase bass blockers for the tweeters plain and simple. Plus their cheap you simply connect one end to the pos terminal and the other end attaches to your speaker wire and it will block any unwanted frequencies. that sounds just like a crossover. haha or am i way off on that?

Freaking Sherlock Holmes Right Here! and i dont mean that in a condescending way. thats just funny how you derived where he is from by his terminology and equipment.

Thinking maybe a 4th order!!??!??!?!?!??!?!?!??!?!?

umm i know i asked about the lvl 2 8 but pm me the combo minimum price of the 1.2k and one of the lvl 2s shipped to 29303. It may not happen but i would like to see what im looking at for both. THANKS boss!

OH SNAP!!!

I know that Orion Stang is looking for a 175.4. (just incase he doesnt see this or if you cant find a buyer) just PM him i know he is interested.

what i know is just from what i have seen. trends in the way boxes are designed and weather they work or not. lol... I dont really know why the wave reacts the way it does but i have seen TONS of box designs. And actually that the part of Car Audio that i love the most. How the box is designed and why. So with that being said With the designs that i have seen, lets say for ported boxes, (since the ported part of a bandpass seems to act the same as a regular ported box) I have noticed that if the box is longer you tend to find the subs on the oposite side of the box as the port. This is because you want the subs to pressurize as much of the box as possible inorder to create the proper cone movement and in turn get the most sound out of it. If the sub is aimed directly at the port and they are that close to each other then the box isnt going to pressurize. Its like playing the sub in free air especially with the port as big as it is. So the location of where the subs are in the chamber is actually very important in loading and pressurizing the enclosure. Now with the 4th order I dont think the sealed side of the box is suppose to counter act the loss of pressure in the ported side. It may help with that. But as far as i know Its the part of the box that is most responsible for the lower end of the frequency range. Thats why they tune bandpasses alot higher than regular ported boxes to account for the higher range of frequencies. I dont know if that made sense or not or if it answered questions in this thread. Thats just what i have seen. If you want look at alot of designs that RAM does and notice he doesnt just put the sub in the middle of the baffle. There is a reason he puts them closer to one corner than the other, or closer to one side of the baffle than the other. Most of what i know is observations.

you need to get speakers that you like and build the box to play what ever kind of range you want. (highs and lows) people here can design you a box that you will be happy with.

Then you have to work with alot of confusing angles. haha. I wouldnt want to do that. Just put the port on the side and the sub will load off of the side of the port. thats exactly how my old 4th order was designed but with aeros. RAM designed it if that means anything. haha

I could put a window on the top if you gave me an extra quarter inch of height to work with lol Oh well thats way too much space i cant fit that in there. lol...

oh snap! that thing looks like a beast! haha Yeah i thought there would be some loading issues. I cant explain why. lol... only because DUDEWITH4X4 blew a sub i think because of a box just like that. Idk how it works though. I will keep this drawing in hand just incase i want to use it thanks man. surprise you didnt put a window in it like we were talking about in the PMs. hahahaha

PM me price on the single 8 is its not gone yet. to 29303

haha this is what i thought too. haha OP if its smaller than the orignal batt in footprint, doesnt mean its weaker than the stock one. Just put it in there and use whatever there was to hold it down on the new batt and you should be good.

well the angled side is what touches the back of my seats... so theres absolutely no room for them there. If i took out my back seats then yeah that would be great! but at that point i might as well wall her off yeah your right. i didnt realize that until i look at it again. firing up would be great.

in my opinion the design with the subs on the side (angled side) would load better but im not sure. You should be happy with it either way.

all of the brands that are affiliated with this forum are great brands to go with.

gotcha makes sense. thanks i'll be looking into ordering one next month. hopefully.lol

almost got blinded looking at that chromed out crossover. lol... I want to know how these things sound.

I really want one of these sexy beasts! as soon as i get the money im getting one. They weigh as much as the 12s i use to have. haha love the look of them. But are they going to have the sundown logo on the dustcap? (im sure its been asked, but didnt see it)

im pretty young in the audio game and equally as poor. So as soon as this amp came out i have wanted it. DC 175.4

if ur gonna split it up. PM me price of one of the 500Ms shipped to 29303.
