    need tips to stiffen cab wall

    my teammate once did this, works wonders if you are willing to chop some stuff drill a few holes through the back wall and into the front wall of the bed, then put some all-thread metal rods through them, then put bolts on either side of each wall where the rod goes through. works like a charm

    How Good Is Your Port?

    pretty good stuff, only a few things. Reynolds number is pvD/u not pvr/u and typically laminar air transitions to turbulent at around 50,000 to 70,000 not 20,000. Also it should be noted that the Re # is HIGHLY dependent on factors in the port such as relative roughness and the resulting pressure gradient. Looks like a well thought out little paper though. I didnt read the whole thing but looks like it might be worth it. I say these things since im in mechanical engineering and will be starting my masters in fluid dynamics and thats basically all a port is (fluid mechanics). I plan to do some CFD modeling of them in the future. Also a slot port can be approximated as a infinitely wide parallel plates and you can obtain the veloctiy profile of the air, and from that find you can find the volume flow rate, pressure gradient, shear stress on the box wall, max and average port velocity etc. Not sure if the paper covers it but the compressibility effects of air are WAY beyond the scope of anything in that paper. If it doesnt mention it I would take everything with a large grain of salt. Compressibility effects will alter almost everything as much as 40%

    i need to figure that out, im guessing since its compressing and uploading from the phone its doing it like that, maybe Will can chime in, doesnt he vid with an iphone?

    Mark LaFountain's SPL Build *Vid3 p.15*

    Looks good bro, this thing is gunna make some people hurt!
  14. well i ran street beat (30 second average on music) and peaked at a 149 at 39 hz lol aint in the 50s but i dont care who you are a 149 that low hurts!
  15. haha Ill keep that in mind! Stay tuned for updates, most likely will get metered at a show tonight
  16. Classic response. lol. Haha just imagine it louder now that they've broken in!l
  17. To tell you the truth they look sorta ugky but everyone has their own taste.......... BTW take of the black things on top of the window. That's cool your opinion, I liked em but didn't get them. And I also like my rain guards

    AA havocs vs. SSA Xcons

    Sorry I misread it as 8 cubes per sub. Yes 8 cubes for both is on the small side. 2 XCON 15s will do the trick for you! send me a message if u have any more questions about them.

    AA havocs vs. SSA Xcons

    I run 2 xcon 18's and they are by far the best sounding subs I've had hands down! Don't fall into the trap thinkg 18s can't sound good they do!
  21. they were 10s for the width, i wish i could have gotten them but oh well, guess itll have to be a new alternator
