    Yeap, I have no idea what's going on. I'm completely clueless. By no means have I been bashing or soiling Nick or IA's rep. I have no reason to that. Maybe you guys forget what they've done for me. I haven't. No one has answered my questions yet but I knew that would happen. It's always a dick measuring contest. Who can be the better sarcastic prick! Soup sandwich. 

    Going through I don't think they meant you were bashing the company/nick but others. I don't see how they're being sarcastic. Impious, tirefryr and shizzzon were trying to explain. M5 was the only one being sarcastic and was only doing it because tenacious is annoying and ignorant.

    I don't understand why you guys don't listen to these guys...

     

     

    Zero tact and constantly talking in circles rather than being direct. Discredits whatever they see fit without truly explaining why everyone else should discredit. They act as though they're %100 right, but fail to fully disclose why they are correct and someone else is incorrect. They scream tolerances and calibrations yet never give any real numbers. They never ask what the given tools  tolerances are and if they have been calibrated or when the last time they were calibrated. Just because you have technical training behind you and some real world exercise, doesn't mean you have the right to discredit everyone else. It's easy to sit behind a computer and seem all so intelligent. There's a common factor of why a lot of people don't like this forum.  

    Maybe you should go and seek some education and then you might understand just how much money, time, equipment, etc... goes into testing, measuring, certifying etc. Right now it seems that all these guys are "talking circles rather then being direct" but you clearly do not understand this subject.  Once you go out and find the necessary knowledge, then you will realize how right these few guys are.  Until then, argue on and have fun!!

    Someone on this forum keeps -1 every single freaking post big jon makes apparently and it's getting to the point now where it's irritating me now.

     

    Every time i See Jon post, i think, yea, that's cool, that makes sense, etc..  and BAM, -1, -1, -1, -1, -1.

     

    For those who are trying to understand the system, seeing things like that will put him in a spot to never be trusted and that's not fair nor true whatsoever.

     

     

    I do not know what optional capabilities the Invision script has on this site, but i will lay out a list of suggestions in hopes something is possible here.

     

    If a user feels a post requires a -1, user MUST physically explain why in a comment section below the post with username.

    If a user feels a post requires a -1, user's name must be tagged with the post(whether publicly or privately.  We need not care exactly who is doing it, just that the admins can detect trolling themselves)

     

     

    I'm tryin to help ya man.  Hopefully this gets fixed soon.

     

    I agree that it is way too excessive.  Nothing that Jon posts deserves a negative rep.  On the other hand, Jon's reactions to getting -1 on his posts is probably why the person keeps doing it.  I think if Jon would simply ignore it every time and not post crazy stuff with the name calling and what not, it would probably stop eventually. I agree with the suggestions above as well.

    Ah, I see my post was deleted...interesting

    One thing that wont be tolerated in our forum is trolling, negative comments about any company we are not about any of that and it will not be tolerated here.

     

    haha.  My post was simply a comparison of your responses to Sean and another vendor here.  Trolling, a little bit, but you still failed to see the point that Sean was making. This forum is not made up of sheep like most others, so posting irrelevant clamp results from a very unscientific test means very little here. I wish you the best of luck with your business.

    I saw where Dayton Ho's are mentioned.  Opinions on them?  

     

    I love my Dayton HO's.  Best sounding subs I've used yet.  They aren't the loudest, but man they are smooth.  For the price, they are hard to beat. Just depends what you want them to do.

    Hey guys, thought I would post some pictures on my truck install.  For some reason I forgot to take pictures during most of the build, as it's now almost done.  This was some what of a budget install for me.  All of the wiring I had left over from other projects as well as my alpine amp.  The head unit is a Pioneer DEH-P7400, nothing special.  The component speakers I have were the 6.5" Aura Sound set that PE was closing out a while ago.  My subs are Dayton Audio RSS265HO-4 that I picked up for $90 shipped for the pair BNIB.  The sub amp is a Boston GTA-1000M. 

     

    Now onto the pictures...

     

    The amps are mounted to a wood base under the carpet (no pic).  The component crossovers will also be mounted here as well.  I know the wires are a bit messy right now, but that will change.

    I ran power and ground wire under the truck and up through the floor in the back, behind the rear 3rd seat so it was out of site.  The wire used is #2 welding cable from welding supply that I had left over.  I don't have a picture of were it comes through on the inside of the cab.

    The head unit install is the same as all other cars, nothing special. 

     

    img0364l.jpg

     

    The speakers are mounted in their stock location, with the tweeter mounted close to the woofers and aimed upward towards the drivers seat.  I found I liked this position the best.  There is some deadening installed in the doors but not like there should be.

    For the subwoofer box, I wanted to do something a little different.  I use this truck for a lot of things and wanted/needed a place to put stuff, instead of just piling everything in the back.  So I ran with some ideas and here is what I came up with.  The net air space for the subs is 1.6 cu. ft. and is tuned at 30hz using two 3" aero ports.  The box has a double baffle (1.5") and has pretty good bracing all around.  Because I do through a lot of stuff back there and I wanted to hide my subs from people, I decided to build in a grill that sits flush with the box and is held on with magnets for easy removal.  The grill is just made from mdf and is backed with grill cloth and wrapped in carpet.  There is enough clearance so that the subs do not hit the grill under heavy excursions.  The speaker terminals are mounted on the bottom and the subs are wired parallel for a 2-ohm load.  There is a side storage compartment that opens up to the 3rd door, as well as a top box that is mounted to the sub box.

    As you can see the top box isn't done yet.  I ran out of carpet so it will have to wait for a bit.  There is a lid that when closed will be inset and flush with the top of the box.  The hinges will also hold the lid open easily.  There will be a couple of latches that will keep the lid closed and locked when needed.  Both this box and sub box are bolted to the truck so it doesn't move anywhere in case of an accident and what not.  I will also be building some what of a false floor, more of just a cover that will go over the amps and contour to the back of the seats.  This is simply to hide the equipment from eye sight. 

     

    So far, I think everything sounds really good.   The speakers, for $50, are a real bargain.  I've heard better but also heard way worse.  The tweeters are smooth and aren't harsh at all which is nice.  The Dayton subs have a unique sound to them.  It's hard to explain, but they are just super smooth and play everything so nicely.  I have an XCON in my car and I think these, in this install, sound a bit better.  The XCON has a bit more bottom end boom and both sound really good, it's just that the Dayton's have a unique sound I guess which I like.  I was also surprised at how loud they get, which I wasn't concerned about with this install.  

     

    As more funds come in, I will finish this up and post more pictures when that happens.  Let me know what you think!

    Looks very good. Care to share more details? Like, what will be used for sound processing, amplifier, signal input, etc.

     

    The satellites will be driven by a Lepai 2020. Cheap, simple, and sounds ok for what it is and what it is hooked to. The subwoofer has its own 70-watt plate amp.  The Lepai will be connected to PC via speaker out, and subwoofer hooked to subwoofer out on the computer as well.  Real basic and works well.  No fancy sound cards or nothing like that. 

     

    I like it man.

     

    Thanks!

    Figured I would post up some pics of the 2.1 PC stereo I built for my mom about a month ago.

    Overall they perform real well. I doubt that anything in their price range could come even close to them.  The pine baffles and pieces on the subwoofer all match the knotty pine trim that my brother and I milled for my parent's addition.

    i never seen bestbuy actually sell something cheaper then any other place before when it comes to electronixs! holy chit batman thats amazing deal telling my buddy he is in need of a amp just like this!

    You have to get lucky and catch it, but from time to time it does happen. A few years ago the stores had the Alpine PDX amps on close out for less than they went for unauthorized on ebay.

    For $100 shipped that's an excellent deal. JBL electronics are always quality. I might grab a couple just to keep around.

    I got my PDX for $100 when they had that close out :D. Been using it everyday since. adhd.gif

    It seems like other brands in the store have a price advantage over IA. You can get a ZCON for about the same price as at DP. Can the DP hang with a Zcon? Same thing goes for the DR vs Icon. Sure they have differant goals, but an almost $50 between the two might sway people the other way. I no way am I saying that IA doesn't perform, I have ran their gear before and its great. But the selling price/specs might sway people in other directions.

    Lot of trolls here lately too ignorant to take peoples' advice. Don't ask a question if you are dead set on doing something stupid in the first place. Lets stop feeding them and let them run 1,000,000 watts to a 600 watt subwoofer.

    Hey guys,

    I have been modeling different alignments for my Dayton RSS265-4 HO woofers. I like the look of 1.2-1.4 cu.ft after displacement for both of the tens, tuned around 30 hz. My question to you guys is how much port area I should shoot for? Would two 3" aeros be adequate? According to the modeling program, I would exceed 25m/s vent velocity using 2 3" aeros, but not by much.

    This install isn't meant to shatter spl records and each woofer will probably never see more than 300 watts, so taking this into account I don't really think I need such large port area.

    Looking for suggestions,

    Thanks
