Very descriptive.

I'll test one for you. I can get the power to push that thing:)

I'm doing a 150+ in every spot in my truck (head, dash, kick) with a single 15" Type R. It's just a bit over 40 more square inches of cone that 2 8" L7's. These scores are outlaw of course.

Jesus christ!

If he is doing MECA then I can almost guarantee that 60 hz would not be a good frequency. Nearly everyone that meters at the headrest is peaking below 50 hz.

I don't really mess with the dash, but I should be able to do over a 150 at the dash with my doors open because my truck does not like to be sealed up. Pretty soon I'll be doing over a 150 in every area of the car: the headrest, dash and kick.

It's about time that I took a video of my truck. Today I decided to test out the kick panel for a USACI show that I have next week. My equipment is ZX2500.1 and Type R 15". Sorry that the video is kind of poor, but we had to rush it because my batteries in the camera were about to die. My teammate also had to stay on the roof because I lose a full dB if my roof is not braced, which kind of made it hard for the camera to pick up the font on the screen. Also keep in mind that my meter is the hardest one that I have been on yet

The HDC3's aren't much louder than the R's. PERIOD. You can keep changing boxes and try to get optimal results, but the difference isn't going to be a whole lot.

TYPE R POWAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm kind of too lazy to repost all of the pics, but here's a link to caraudio.com with all of them posted. Enjoy. http://www.caraudio.com/forum/showthread.php?t=327063

Pretty much every car that I have done a decent install in has broke a 145 at the headrest. Most of them sound decent on music and some others sound great. I've designed the boxes for nearly everyone on my team and we are moving up the ranks on the Meca boards.

I haven't messed with any RF subs, but the RF setups around here have yet to impress me. Maybe I'll talk to some of my buddies and try to do some drop-in testing to see how they stack up to other subs.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding you, but from what I've discovered (in my truck) is that as the power increases the frequency also increases. My old setup that peaked at 47ish hz (full power) would peak in the high 30's at low volume. Therefore, low volume testing is worthless. I haven't tested this out in any more cars others than mine.

I was just kidding. But, 145's really aren't hard at all. It's kind of a low goal for Andy, imo.

Sorry bud, but I don't roll that way. However, Andy might

Whatever I touch gets loud, so 145's shouldn't be a problem.

If you wanted to make a mathematical formula for your car it would be so complex that it would take your entire lifetime to figure out. It's just easier to do the actually testing rather than sitting around all day calculating theories.

lmfao

Is there a cherry somewhere within that pole vent?

I see a 149 with a single 12 happening in my truck

Looks like I have a new toy to play with. Get your ass over here soon Andy so we can test this bitch.

I have one. Don't hesitate to buy from MG, you will get what you pay for. The small pulley is nice because you will get near the full output at idle.

Pioneer's are notorious for preout problems. Try this http://www.caraudio.com/forum/showthread.php?t=198477 One time my buddy was about to throw out his hu and I suggested to him to try this and he told me that it fixed the problem.

W6's sound better anyways. I wish I had one for daily.

That's one of the reasons. It's much better for spl because with internal ports when changing the tuning you change both the tuning and the volume at the same time This way, I can change the tuning in a matter of 2 minutes w/o affecting the volume of the box. I can also change the volume of the box and easily readjust tuning if I wanted to. Plus, it looks cool and is louder.
