well fuck all right that doesn't make sense to not include it in the program

So what would I enter for bracing then??

JL's site recommends tunning the box to 38hz and in would be a brace in the middle, and the .75 is the thickness of the sheet of mdf??

okay I'm asking is the box being at 38.55 hz is close enough to 38.0 hz?? and thats what came out when I put in the numbers

Yes, i will be using two subs, each will have a chamber but the t-port will tie the two together

okay so this JL 8 inch sub(http://www.jlaudio.com/8w1v2-4-car-audio-w1v2-subwoofer-drivers-92070) says it should be tuned to 38.0 hz well it has a circle port, but I wanna do a square port so below is the frequency of 38.55 going to make a big difference?? and also I calculated is as one box cause jl's site only gives you specs for on one box, the the port would be like a t shape inside the box

I think black would be a good way to go, but if you don't have any body working or painting exprience it can be over whelming

a shop is going to say 1.5 to 2 hours for paint time and then anywhere from 30 to 150 for paint and clear not to mention primer or sealer cost, but im not 100 percent sure on paint cause it varies everywhere

anything's possible man, as long as your dedicated, and you know I'm sure they have color matching tools out there, well actually they do, that will help, and even professionals sometimes use tools to color match:) good luck

SATA JET 3000B for base and clear, I use the disposable cup system, I use to use rp's till I found out they have a problem

maybe a wax and grease removers or lacquer thinner just be careful it doesn't eat into the door panel, and also is it on the actually door panel or the plastic behind the door panel??

but this thread has derailed, it was about soundstorm not JL,

the only other company I would honestly buy that I have liked is diamond audio, i have a pair of their tens from 1999 dropped two 4 ohms i belileve and boy did they hit

It's not about the money to me honestly, and if you hate jl cool, don't try to change my opinion haters lol,

Yeah well, what company isn't, I mean most of the people I know with sound systems have mtx and kicker or sony or pioneer

ah okay, I heard their amps sucks lol, never tried em, and I won't my next build is gonna be all JL

Has anyone ever messed with soundstorm subs or amps??

Bushwacker makes fernder flares i think, As for your paint job, if you've never done body work/ or paint work it will be a big ass learning curve, but If your willing to learn I can help out, I have done body work for the past 5 to 6 years, I actually got hired over a summer to do body work for the school I went to, but yeah Just let me know

Inn the body shop's I've worked in we use steel wool, with a glass cleaner, works wonders

One quick question, will it make a difference if I use OFC or CCA??

Sweet thanks man:) for all the help .

What you can do if make sure all the loose paint is broke free and then do touch up paint, but other than that you can't keep it from chipping unless you get it fixed, which if there's dent's they will fix them, but usually to stop paint from chipping you need to feather edge the paint and then scuff around the feather edged area and prime so your hood doesn't rust, and then wet sand and then paint, but like I said if there's dent's their going to need to be filled with bondo and also primed.

Now someone told me my ground wire should be bigger than my power wire?? is this ture?? is OFC=oxygen free copper or no??

My idea was to run 4 gauge to the back to a distribution block and then go to the amps, ans then run my grounds to a distribtuion ground block and then run the ground back to the battery as well

Well my origional idea was to use mini anl, or use a circuit breaker, but I will check those sites out, do they have wiring kits??
