I think the resonant frequency of my car is somewhere around low 50Hz with a box that's sealed off from the trunk. But why did you say not to invert HT?
-
Theres only one way to find out if that works........you know what I mean. Trail and error. LOL Yeah, I was thinking I might have to end up doing that to be honest. Build 2 different boxes and see which one suits my needs better. Would just be a pain in the ass to do...
-
I was thinking of trying 32Hz with either ~16.25^2 per or ~17.6^2 per. I listen to a lot of BigPimpin/Decaf in addition to non-boosted/slowed music. And why shouldn't I invert?
-
I had somewhat of the same problem with my last box, in the sense that I didn't think about the port being split down the middle. Like was said above, the width of that section along the back wall should be half the width of the main port section. I think it might also help to have a piece of wood with 45s back there to help direct the air out of the port as well.

Hey guys, I've went ahead and ordered my ZCON 12 this past week and I was just wanting some additional advice on box size. I'm going to be running the BRZ2100.1D at 1 ohm, so the sub should see right around 2100 watts. The sub has an RMS rating of 2250 watts. It will be inverted in the trunk of my Cavalier (better cooling/thermal handling?), and my maximum box dimensions will be 14.5Hx34Wx20D. I have plenty of space to work with, but I was just wondering what sort of net box space I should be looking for since I'll be running right around RMS to the sub. SSA recommends 1.75-2.5 ft^3 ported, or 2.5-3.25 ft^3 ported optimal. I was planning on doing 2.4 ft^3 with probably 39 in^2 (13Hx3W) or 42.25 in^2 (13Hx3.25W) of port area. I just want some opinions on whether or not I should make the box smaller since I'm running near RMS power, or what. I'll be sending them an email as well but just figured I might as well see if there are any ZCON owners with previous experience to offer. Thanks!

Amazing violin skills, beautiful vocals, great choice overall. Loved the video itself as well, she seems to be a very genuinely nice person. Am I the only one that wants to marry this girl? She just keeps winning me over and over again

Mids/ High Mounting Question -- need help
Sergeant_Skyrim replied to SlamminBeats's topic in Mid's and highs
Also interested in mounting locations, looking to upgrade my mids/highs and not quite sure if they need "enclosures" like subs do -
You open Audacity, drag the track in, highlight any section of the song where the bass hits for at least 5 seconds length, then go to "Analyze" at the top of Audacity, then "Plot Spectrum". EDIT: Or you can just not bother learning how to do it and have other people do it for you! I kid, I kid...

FOOD!

I make my own egg-fried rice sometimes. It's pretty filling for me because of the rice and you could even make it healthier by ditching soy sauce/salt. I don't personally add any vegetables to it either but I'm sure if you did then that'd be better too -
My dad originally bought this amp as part of an entire enclosure that MTX offered I believe 6 or so years ago. It pushed the 2 MTX 12s it came with for ~4 years, until I blew one of them (have learned so much since then) and has been pushing 2 Kicker Comp 12s for the past year and a half I think. Here's the description on the MTX site: http://store.mtx.com/caraudio/products/amplifiers/RTP251D.cfm Now onto some pics Here's a pic of the outside (can't find one of it by itself): http://a5.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/405408_2735129530140_1014379508_32902904_392703208_n.jpg And here are a few pics of the actual guts: http://a7.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/426303_3162941865181_1014379508_33072222_1512975455_n.jpg http://a1.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/426303_3162941905182_1014379508_33072223_1262498534_n.jpg http://sphotos.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash4/426303_3162941945183_1014379508_33072224_1074956154_n.jpg This amp still works to this day and I'm actually thinking of using it to power a T-Line at some point in the future for my dad's Magnum or something like that.

Just got a 194 last Wednesday night on college night (only thing we have to pay is $2.50 for shoe rental and can bowl 9pm-midnight) with house everything. Second highest score ever lol, trying to get my friends to go again tomorrow night http://a6.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/560708_3515361355448_1014379508_33223639_1035754470_n.jpg -
You do still want 2 cubes of free air space inside the box after taking out any displacements (port, subs, bracing, etc).

Ring terminal difference?

Thanks guys, just figured there was no harm in making sure =) -
Ring terminal difference?

Haha, don't they make Rebecca Black sound like Celine Dion or something now?

Hey guys, just wondering before I order myself some but what is the difference between these two sets of ring terminals: http://www.darvex.com/store/pc/10-Stinger-0-Gauge-Ring-Terminals-22p334.htm#details http://www.darvex.com/store/pc/10-Stinger-0-Gauge-Ring-Terminals-22p341.htm#details I know that the first says: "24K gold plated finish for maximum power transfer" and the second says "Shoc-Krome plated finish for maximum power transfer", but what is the difference between these two makeups? Any differences performance-wise, or would one be better to solder to? I will be soldering my 1/0 instead of crimping if that helps. Thanks =)

It's nice to see somebody who is willing to actually learn rather than tell us to f off. The reason your amp won't put out a full 4k is because that's most likely a "peak power" rating. These ratings are bs. You will want to go by RMS ratings of everything you use, including subs and amps. These are the true power ratings. I think steps 8-12 contain info on how to ground properly in this thread: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/13280-how-to-do-the-big-3-tutorial/

I used to bowl league back when I was in middle/high school. Now when I bowl it's just for fun and I use house balls. My average during league was right around 150ish. My average now is probably 140ish lol, a lot of good it did me buying a real ball for back in league right?
