    Are you still planing on the horns and XS-69 midbass? I'm sure I'll try horns some day, I bet they have that "in your face" effect? Never heard any.

    I am real interested in the ID XS-65 comps, Probably the matching midbass Or the XS-69 also. I have to drive 200 miles to hear them though. Do you read the ID forum at all?

    Thanks for the props Guys!!!

    I think the Wire will be just fine the way it is.biggrin.gif The elements aren't going to hurt them and They are fused on both ends if the ever get cut. As you can see in the picture the wires dip up in the middle of the car where the frame scrapes.

    I Finally got my double run of 1/0 put in. With only the one run under the carpet it was already breaking my trim pieces. So I went under the car.

    Made a bracket to mount the two waterproof fuses under the hood....

    Had to bend the bracket.....

    looking from the front of the car.....

    from the back of the car....notice where the dip up is, Thats the center of the car where it scrapes so the wire should be safe. I am also installing a fuse at both ends of both wires.....

    Coming into the trunk....ignore the exrta hole, it has nothing to do with anything.

    Right now I only have the stock alt. But I have CS-130 case 200 amp Powermaster alternator (pn48203) I will adapt to the honda this summer. The CS-130 case Is BIG so we will see. I think at that point I should be good as good gets. FEEL THE POWER!!!

    You DA Man, Nathan.

    Can you expain a little more about internal pressures and why secondary batterys product more Watts?

    Secondary batteries provide more power, because they are not being used to provide power to operate the vehicle.

    When you hook to batteries up together it optimizes the internal pressure of the battery which in turn allows the batteries to produce more power individually.

    So if I think of current as water, Then the starting battery in nearest to the vehicles power needs so ALL or MOST current flows from the starting battery?

    So the sum of the two is greater than its parts alone?

    Looking good! I understand about "tilting" the woofer, I had to do the same to mine to get inserts into the wood where I could use machine screws to hold my subs in. In my box instead of fiberglass resin, I simply primed and painted the port and sanded it with 220-2000 grit sandpaper to make it as smooth as possible at all edges. It feels like glass when you run your hand down the port. I don't know if it will help the airflow, but I don't think it can hurt! Keep the pics coming! popcorn.giftrink40.gif

    THe F*cking cutout dim. FI gives you is BIG so the hole is little big. I think it will be fine with T-nuts.

    I got some cool dark gray stone looking textured paint for the port, Should look match the charchol carpet nicely!

    The fiberglass was pointless and I won't be doing anymore. I was under the wrong impression as to why people use it. Now I know.

    I am working on the battery box, 1/0 ga ran, spare tire mount fixed and then I can do the box. Time is a premium around here right now.

    Don't worry I am taking pictures.

    The conclusion to this topic is Fiberglass will NOT make an audible difference when used in an enclosure.

    Fiberglass MAY have benefits if you are chasing tenths on the meter But could also hurt you. You will NOT know without testing.

    All materials have a purpose, But are USELESS when used in the wrong application.

    If you want to make an enclosure stronger you should use bracing instead.

    The ONLY use for fiberglass in a regular enclosure would be for the corners, even then the benefit is probly marginal.

    For the average person like me wondering if Fiberglass is for you, DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY. (learn from my mistakes)

    That is ALL.

    There is no sound difference between 2 and 4 ohms. I would never choose a speaker based on that. I wouldn't worry about the power difference.

    Here is a pretty good place, just keep asking questions.

    but i thought when the impedance is higher, the amp has more control over the cone... resulting in more accurate reproduction?...

    Not an audible differance, If you are refering to damping.
