Miguels Posted August 7, 2014 Report Posted August 7, 2014 yea my experience was the same.. asked for a 4th order design, i pay up, dude comes up with a regular ported box... we go back and forth. Pete just says ported box is best for application and call it quits. probably wont ever pay for a design period. to his defense he built you the correct box.. a regular ported box is a 4th order.. people keep getting this wrong.. what you wanted was a 4th order bandpass my logshttp://www.stevemead...-my-new-set-up/my blow through loghttp://www.stevemead...future-updates/ 96 ss http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/164094-96-impala-ss-build/
diegoclass2010 Posted August 7, 2014 Report Posted August 7, 2014 sorry for got to add band-pass... but he knew what i wanted. we were conversation about 4th orders and 6th orders, thats when he said he coulnt tell which box would work best for my application till he simulated seald, ported, 4th 6th,8th bandpass horns and more shit. but out of all he picked out a ported box.

OrionStang Posted August 7, 2014 Report Posted August 7, 2014 Not defending him.. Your right. But the exclusive vs the actual wording... Exclusively... Has a big difference in meaning. One means he is the only one that uses it... The other means your box only needs 90 deg and 45deg angle. So if you can cut a 45deg and a 90deg, then by that statement you could build the box. My interpretation. Some of his horn designs use some crazy angles for certain pieces. Ill post my design here tomorrow. Im tired. SMD Super Seller My Feedback Thread
dolarbilz Posted August 7, 2014 Report Posted August 7, 2014 Now I did buy a used treo sub off a pwk forum member I told him I wanted the horn design that he had. it did sound good. And how does Pete do 64" wide on your blueprints knowing you have to give "max" dimensions..
Facekicker Posted August 7, 2014 Report Posted August 7, 2014 How does he design a wall and forget that it'll take up cabin space to do so? edit: Most of the questions I had for pete started with "Why" but of course there is no answer. I honestly think he's reached a point where he doesn't care. Reminds me of an alt guy that started out well, but eventually took on more than a reasonable solo workload and people started getting pissed off. 2002 Monte Carlo Started a build log Fi, DC, Mechman, XS Power
Guest Posted August 7, 2014 Report Posted August 7, 2014 How does he design a wall and forget that it'll take up cabin space to do so? because he's too preoccupied using at least four gigantic words per sentence to make himself seem smart.
GSanders17 Posted August 7, 2014 Report Posted August 7, 2014 I got a design from him several years ago. It worked and worked well, however I did some research after the fact and watched some of his videos where he was saying he doesn't subscribe to the cookie cutter approach, meaning a 4th order bandpass will give you result x or a transmission line will give you result y. He supposedly designs an enclosure for the woofer going in it and the vehicle it is going in. Well if that's true then why in the fuck did my blueprints match the box you have in your workblog for a DD3515 going in a Suburban when I paid for blueprints for a DD9515 going in a Honda Civic. Yet you don't subscribe to the cookie cutter approach. Looks like the same shit to me, lol. It opened my eyes to the fact he is full of shit.

AK bass Posted August 11, 2014 Report Posted August 11, 2014 I got a design from him a long time ago for my btl ufo 18. Took him 2 month's and in that time I designed a simple ported box while I waited for his deign. He sent me some crazy 6th order, I built it and it could only play 20-30hz. I told Pete his box sounded like shit and he said it was the install. My ported box went back in. "The secret to creativity is knowing how to hide your sources." Albert Einstein
