    carbon fiber dust caps

    I recently ordered 2 Tantric HDD 18s. I got the carbon fiber dust caps on them, mainly for cosmetic appearance. But are there any real performence benefits over normal caps?

    Pac-lc1 control knob

    Has anyone ever used one of these? I bought a used amp, and it didn't come with a bass knob. I heard about these. If anyone knows, do i still set my amp gain like normal?

    I need some help

    I have 2 18s in seperate enclosures. I was told by some others that my ports where to small on my boxes. I had them tuned to about 31hz..so I made them bigger. Should be around 36-37 according to Torres..at the same time I bought a used DD z1 amp and hooked it all back up. Its sounds like shit..wont hit lows for shit. Do you think I tuned to high, or did I get a bad amp? Wtf

    I need some help

    Each box is 35h22w20deep.....slot ports are 5x15 and 18 total length...its now 2 1/2 inches from the back of the box..I think this is were im messing up. I tryed using torres. I wanted to make the port bigger but I had to make my length go from 15 to 18 to avoid the tunning being way to high. According to torres im at about 36.5hz

    I need some help

    I think that where I messed up. I should have left it alone. The ports were 5x9 and 15 total inch long. Ocording to torres it was tuned to 30hz before. It sounded good. But I was told that my ports were to small. So I made them bigger. Now its sounds horrible

    how can i get louder

    Well put it all back together and it sounds horrible. Im gonna have to tear it apart again n build a whole new box.

    how can i get louder

    Im currently running 2 18s on about 2000w rms each. I know most would put both in the same box but i built separate boxes. the boxes are bolted together and then I have it in a wall config. According to Turros box calculator I have about 6cuft each and the port is tuned to about 32hz...what can I do to get louder if anything. Also I don't think the soundstream amps are putting out 2000w rms. would a more efficient amp help too. maybe an better amp with about the same rms power as the subs (1800w rms) not to risk blowing my subs.... advice please

    I need some help

    I had 2 Soundstream tx1.2000d. . One on each sub. One of the amps stop workin. So I got a refund. I feel stupid because I do feel I should have done one thing at a time. That way I know if it's the ports or the used amp, or both.

    I need some help

    Yea I just need to face it...but u do think bringin the tuning from 30 to almost 37 is making it sound crappy right, not the amp I bought?
  17. disturbeddrummer254

    I need some help

    i just put in the mesurements in torres and its about 36.61hz...i put in the old port measuremants and it said i was tuned at like 29.2hz..no wonder the lows sounded so good. I only changed the port because a few people on here said that a port of 5x9 and 15 long was to small. so i made it 5x15 and 18 long...now its sounds shitty...also the port in now like 2 1/2 inches from the back of the box. i guess thats not good either

    I need some help

    the seat is gone. i have a platform that the the two seperate boxes or sitting on. then i have a wall built. it sounded good when i had the 2 soundstream tx1.2000d hoocked up. them one blew on me. So i bout a used DD z1 amp last week and had the bright idea if making bigger ports. Going from about 31hz to 36-37hz...i guess this was a mistake

    I need some help

    Ok I messed with torres to get the port dimensions. I thought I needed bigger ports. I knew the tuning would go up but I didnt know it would turn out bad. I guess I wasted my time this weekend lol. Live n learn I guess. Maybe I need to come up with a box design with both subs n one big box port tubed to 30-32. Might as well if I gotta rip it apart.

    I need some help

    I put it on mostly rap...some of the same songs I listen to befor I changed the port and amp. White girl, rack city, on my level, etc....before it sounded really good n clear through out the song. Now it sounds horrible. I can't pin point what's wrong, the ports being bigger or the amp having something wrong with it. Since I have them in seperate boxes, I think I'm gonna redo one of the ports n see. If there is a difference.

    doubled my port area

    i know i kinda talked about this before, but i wanted to update what i was doin. i have 2 psi 18s in seperate enclosures. Before i had only .50ft of port area in each box according to Torres. now i have about .98 which is double the port area than before. it apperently brought my tuning from about 31hz to 36 or so hz according to Torres. will this still be ok for daily? Was this a good idea or do you thing i will regret doing this? not quite finnished with this change..your thoughts.....
