know all too well , waiting on money to get to building my box , got my mids and highs in and found out my mids and highs amp is a dud a few weeks ago

string em up

http://www.ebay.com/...#ht_4268wt_1165 almost bought some of these , i guess big6 has some . want to get some 3 way comps not totally sure but i think the type r comps are an even bigger rip off than type s

i have the alpine type s comps , i got mine for 35 like new off feebay ,got a pair of type s 2 ways for about the same price . my opinion , they aren't worth $100 , they are ok , but i would have been disapointed for retail price .really not sure which way a guys money is best spent on comps at this point . what i do know is i have been fishing off a small pier , there's a lot of brands out there i never herd of , that i have seen since joining smd

never drilled a firewall yet , i like to use an existing hole and grommet , first i push through a piece of copper wire like you would use for residential electric just a single wire , then i tie on my power cable , use some silicone spray and pull it thru , spose if you are trying to do multiple runs of big stuff , better start drillin

that far in , you should see it start to come together soon . wireing sucks but the payoff is why people do it .

the only way i think rough roads could have done it is bumps caused something to come into contact with the cone . more likely what others said

open-mouth breather, oxygen stealer

looking for opinions on this , i got a 93 dakota with a 3.9 v6 from my neighbor and i decided to sell the catylitic convertor for scrap , the exhaust was loud already . when i cut off the cat i was planning on just straight piping it all the way back , but now i am second guessing if that is the best idea or if i should add a muffler .don't want it to be too loud . if i were to add a muffler i want to add one that will improve the sound as well as quiet it down a little . wondering if there is a muffler that could make this v6 sound more like a v8 as far as the low tones and throatyness .

service manual , not a chilton ether

multiply internal height by width by depth to get your volume in cubic inches , divide your cubic inches by 1728 to get cubic feet .that in a nutshell is how i start designing an enclosure .the external dimensions will vary depending on what thickness of wood you build with http://www.rockfordfosgate.com/Support/rftech.aspx#boxwizard sometimes i use the rf box wizard to . don't forget to account for woofer displacement , manufacture info sometimes tells you this

that might not be a bad deal , my second choice to copper is copper coated in tin .

don't remember what size they were , but they looked cool , but didn't do good at all in snow , stock tires actually did better in snow

i don't like how they don't say copper , they only say oxygen free . oxygen free what ? i have been through all the power wire on ebay here a month ago and so many say oxygen free , and don't say what the metal actually is , so i ask and too many of them come back "it's cca" . better ask to make sure

not a bad deal if you are on a budget , i might go for it .

crap

i think if or when the time comes for to me own a vehicle new enough to have that pcm controlled charging bullshit i will probably find away to run a separate charging system dedicated to audio .

the big thing when it comes to insurance and carriers is the item being in manufactures packaging or being packed ridiculously well . but any way whats up with the damaged subs ? are they playable , do you have plans for them , or did usps want them ?

yamaha receivers are good for 4 or even 2 ohm loads , i checked this sub on my old yamaha and it made the protection click on . that is when i knew something wasn't right , i have tested type r's at 2 ohm on this same receiver with no problem .

another thread got me thinking about this , any one have any idea what or if a guy should pay for termlab metering

the glossier the finish the more you see any imperfections underlying . be prepared for a lot of work .gotta have a perfect base for a perfect finish .

i have been thinking about a crown , they have an incredible warranty , and a nice price

hey would fuseing on the speakers protect against the wrath of the flame linear ?

i ran across this exact same sub on feebay couple months back , with the exact same problem . got refunded easy after contacting the seller , checked out right after ups dropped at my door . i was running mine on an alpine mrp-m500 . i think dude who sold the sub i bought knew it was on its way out he didn't argue or give me a hard time . i looked into reconing it but fixmyspeaker wanted me to send it to them and quoated 150 for them to recone it . sorry to hear about your bad deal .

i would like to think you could find a space you wouldn't miss for a small 2 or 4 channel amp . alpine makes a plug and play indash amp that pushes 45 rms x 4 , it plugs into 05 and newer decks with black plug , you could make it work with another brand of deck by splicing some wires . after market speakers will play ok on deck power but they all play better with more power . if you insist on running only deck power , i think jvc may have a the edge on deck power . my $.02 what ever you get for speakers they will perform better with more than just deck power . don't really know of any speakers that excel on only deck power , maybe factory speakers
