      Limp it back to my place I love projects ;)

    great info! i remember when you were explaining this before and it's actually one of the reasons i chose the x15 for my rebuild and i don't regret it one bit!

      Lmao, I just hit 4k. I feel like snowdrifter.

      I did the exact same thing lol

    yeah i know, but i was more looking for the parameters to help me design a transmission line box and for my own box designs.

    honestly sat through the whole thing while reading it on the edge of my seat waiting for the huge screw up to happen when they never sent you the product or never refunded you and how they are a horrible company and bla bla bla.... happy to say i finished reading and was shocked that nothing was wrong! i guess most the time people only go out of their way to post things if it's negative or bad about someone/some company and so that's what i was expecting. especially with all the "alt drama" going on right now on this forum i was just waiting for negative comments and funny whitty slander to come pouring out. why have i gotten so accustomed to all this negativity and "heated" comments that i'm shocked when it's only happy positive stuff? i need to change how i look at things, and so i im glad to say this: Thank you for posting this. it makes me happy to see you had a good experience with sonic. so much so that you spent time to express how much you enjoyed doing business with them. honestly the best way for a business to be advertised is from the mouth of happy customers like you and so in turn you're helping our hobby grow. and thanks for making me see this, i needed it.

      A sammich like brother man say sounds good to me to Wasted.....lol. But revoracing247 im feeling you about wanting to make something! I cant sleep because im thinking about what size of a box I want to put in my truck.

      That's why you have heat or a heater in your gaage, so you can build or put your system together all winter. And be ready by March or April to show it off.

    first snow of the season called for a late night drift sesh :)

    just tried slowing my first song. is there anything i should be worried about? (i used audacity)

      thanks, i know this might sound retarded but i tried it and it seems like my song is more taxing on my system then other songs in the same frequency range.

    3. 97Jetta1637

      97Jetta1637

      each song has different db levels within them. 46 hz on the radio is quieter than 46 hz on cd. same applies to the quality of the music you uploaded/downloaded then modified.

      revoracing247

      but all i did was slow a decaf'd 31hz song by -22.5% to bring it down to 24hz. it could be because i need to give a good charge on my batts but idk

  9. revoracing247
    is that in m^2? and thanks i really need this for designing the t-line. and thanks for finding this. they should just put these parameters on their site.

    after 2 weeks of hard work deadening my car i finally have bass again!!

    1. SnowDrifter

      Nice!!! I bet it sounds a lot better too haha

    2. revoracing247

      revoracing247

      a lot cleaner and tighter bass :)

    Depends on the goal and the system. For a really clean front stage in a setup with a lot of power, you need the doors to be completely dead. For a small upgrade with a small sub... 25% works. Not great, mind you... but it works. well why not do 24-50% coverage and then use better materials for what you're trying to achieve. like putting MLV and CCF layers in-between the door skin and inner (closer to the inside of the car) door panel. you save a ton of $$ on materials and get the same results. rather then trying to use CLD as a way to add mass to the panel and lower it's resonances, which is a really expensive material to do so with. what did he try to achieve must of missed it because if it was to deaden the resonance of the door he used the material for what he was trying to achieve... the other 2 are for airborne noise From what i understand, CLD is for stopping flexing and turning it into heat so the panel doesn't produce it's resonance frequency. not necessarily to lower it's resonance frequency. and the other two are for air born noise, but also to turn the door into an infinite baffle for the speaker. (just like he did using CLD tiles.) but i can see how you'd want a bit more coverage for very high powered applications. i guess i have a bit of a different view on deadening

    thats like 100% coverage though. isn't it a little much?
  15. revoracing247
    sd i don't need right now but it'll be important when i start designing my t-line. and i just thought because of the huge surrounds and stuff it might be a little different then most other subs. and for the displacement i wasn't sure. i tried this once calculator where i gave it the motor dimensions and stuff and it calculated like .45 so i wasn't sure what to trust.
  16. revoracing247
    bump for info. im really just looking for sub displacement. would anyone know a close approximation maybe?
  17. revoracing247
    I've had the specs since around July. can you tell me the Xmax, Sd, and woofer displacement then?
  18. revoracing247
    hey sundown, i was in the process of trying to design a box for my X15 and i ran into a couple of road blocks. btw thanks a ton for posting the T/S parameters for the X series subs on your site recently it's really nice to have all those in one place now. not trying to be a dick but i think there's a couple missing though (at least i think, i could be blind) that are making it really hard to finish my design could you post the, Woofer Displacement Xmax Sd if those were there i'd be awesome. thanks, RevoRacing

    i know i've told ya alot of this in our messages but i thought i might as well recap some of it here. im running almost 70" of port almost exactly and personally in my situation i feel like i need even more then that lol but 70 is a comfortable place to start. here's 70" and now you can see why i've been working on deadening my truck over the last week or 2 lol that box is like 3.7^3ft~ tuned @27hz with 70^2in of port on around 2200w rms. it really shines like 38hz and below and is just nasty at like 28-25hz. and sorry i kind of skimmed over some of what cleanSierra said so sorry if you guys have already figured out the tuning but ive heard not to tune them above 35Hz. soooo yeah the box i'd personally suggest would be 30hz, 3-3.75^ft and around 70^2in of port. but you might wanna stay at 32hz. i feel like i'm forgetting something lol

    Expanding foam (great stuff) comes from a sticky place in hell

      WD40 pulls it off skin

      revoracing247

      i'll have to try the wd40 for my hands. know anything to pull it off interior panels??

  21. revoracing247

    new hobby of mine: walking around my truck and knocking on every surface to hear the differences im getting with deadening

    so i don't mean to question a product that i know you guys have put a ton of hard work into, but i was just thinking about this while watching the video. Tony. how hard would it be to make it so you could plug it into your computer, do a sweep in your car and see how things plot out in each setting? just kept thinking how useful it'd be to be able to see the impedance curve through the frequency range, or see the efficiency % through the frequencies. then you wouldn't be sitting there going...uhhh i think i saw around X efficiency at about Y Hz. then you could sit there, have the door open, see how your (power efficiency, impedance, ect, choose your poison) is doing, then close the door do another sweep and compare the two graphs. it'd make this already amazing tool just that much more effective and awesome. just a thought. love what you guys do! amazing work.

    oh also forgot to add, if your braces have started to separate from the roof and that's causing the rattling, the PL Premium is perfect for reattaching it.
  24. revoracing247
    PL Premium! im in the process of trying to stop roof flex in my truck. deadener for sure and if you wanna go extreme us the PL Premium to put in more braces or something!
  25. revoracing247
    that's sweet! that's gonna be so useful in the garage!
