Things that piss you off in the Car Audio world.

physics &

misplacing/losing something during an install that was just in your hand 10 seconds prior

this!!! ^^^ and the more aggravated you become the quicker things tend to disappear

Where you at OH?

^LOL.

Here's how it really is: Build it to spec unless you know better. What the manufacturer recommends isn't gonna be worse than prefab, and if you know what will work better for your purpose why the fuck are you so upset?

Let people build what they want. If they want to remain uneducated and build it to spec, let 'em. It'll lower the average and your build will be better.

I did follow Kicker's spec when it came to the box size, but I have a little lower tuning than they want, think they reccomended 37hz. They also said run 300 rms, I'm running 900 rms lol

If you could do it again, I bet you'd build a lil bit bigger, wouldn't you. Point was, why hate people who build to spec? Now if you wanna argue against custom spec over OEM spec for a particular purpose... That's a bit different. There's not a reason to go against spec unless you know what you do differently is gonna do for your sound.

Building bigger and tuning lower doesn't work for every sub out there, either.

If I could rebuild the box again on the power I'm running, I would tune a little higher, and make the little bit smaller since my sub moves so much, the cone hits the basket. But I'm about to get a new pair of woofers to work Gonna try out a sonotube for the next box

see, you do know what you'd do different. That's the point I was getting at LOL

Just because you can change your box to dump more power into the coils, does that mean it'll be louder? I don't think so. If your sub is moving it's full excursion it's moving as much air as it can.

when you build it for the house, you're gonna love it tuned to Fs.

I'd lower the box size for better cone control since the xmax is only 11 mm, wish Kicker would give it 15mm or something like that, but it's a mainstream brand, so they don't really care about that.

Hmm, maybe if I have room, I could do a T-line instead 12' t-line on a 300 watt plate amp would be bananas lol

When after a demo, someone immediately starts off "why didn't you..." like they think they have any inkling how much effort you went into planning. Same person had his system "hooked up" at Best Buy and isn't as loud with 10x the power.

But I love to ask people what subs are best and why. Weeds out the idiots quickly.

Srp, you still amaze me on how loud you sub is on only 180 watts

not loud enough LOL

And I'm 25% bigger and 7Hz lower tuned than Manufacturer Spec.

when i go to my local audio shop to pick up a 99 honda civic mount for my double din and it not being right at all, then calling and saying "hey this isnt right its not matching up" then having them say " oh no no no its right just follow the directions" well sorry bud i did and the shit dont work. oh and not having this box fit in this new cars trunk >.< nothing ever goes right..

when I build my MTX TR5512-4 for my living room about 2 years ago I tuned to 20HZ and its wicked on movies with only 150 watt going to it.

When you are about to sneeze, make the face, and then no sneeze. Then this happening many times a day. Freaking colds.

Wrong piss off section lol
