I was on college lab pc's, which was odd to me, they've never been unreliable before. On my phone it's fine... 0.0

MiniDSP has been nothing but good news to my ears. I don't use rear speakers in my mountaineer, I find it sounds cleaner and allows you to position the sound field far easier. Choose quality drivers, nail crossovers and more than enough sound is possible for all passengers with a decent amp. I only have 50w x2 currently on some RF prime 6.5's and it's keeping up fairly well with a FI BTL 18 on 1500w. I hear the PPI 900.4 recommended often as a great powerful budget amp. At under 200, it's the next thing on my list to buy. Haven't heard any complaints; I want it because it's tiny and powerful with enough control to run active with no processing. Also, focus on nice solid baffles for your mids. Look into deadening at least your front doors, it'll help insanely.

I see

Is the 9:1 port length/width ratio a myth, like the sq in per cubic foot rule?

We're gonna build a box with scrap mdf for a garage sale trophy, who can recommend a good enclosure size and port area for a 15" type R? I don't remember what my box for a pair was built to, it's been a while.

Light grey cone, side by side terminals I'm not sure what you mean by model. What year? It's a 15d2, 750rms garage sale trophy = It was thirty bucks No, I don't know how to model, I don't have a computer at home, I use my phone for most of my tasks.

With a cost like that, yessir lol and Adrian, I know it won't sound different, but it looks cleeeean. Bedliner and a nice flare is good enough for me. On the topic of the frontstage, I got the components in and re aimed, while better xover points are helping, I think I just need tweeters that like a lower crossover, and a set that is both more efficient/can handle more powa. Overall though, not super impressed with the fosgate shizz though, sounds like strumming frayed c-word hairs. lmao i've never been censored before ^^

I'm looking at piping for a 12" port for my next box; please for fucks sweet sake tell me there's cheaper 90* bends out there than four hundred dollars. I just need a 12" port 48" long to get my tuning. I don't want the box more than 42" wide, so i'm looking for a bend or two this is the kinda stuff i've found so far http://www.lowes.com/pd_574544-1814-PVC+00300A+2200_0__?productId=50114329 http://www.homedepot.com/p/Charlotte-Pipe-12-in-PVC-DWV-Vent-90-Degree-Hub-x-Hub-Elbow-PVC-00300A-2200/203950072?cm_mmc=Shopping%7cTHD%7cG%7c0%7cG-BASE-PLA-D26P-Plumbing%7c&gclid=CIa7vLPw2ssCFQ6maQodb7sJAQ&gclsrc=aw.ds http://www.pvcfittingsonline.com/12-class-125-street-elbow-90-c609-120.html?gclid=CK2Ys8rw2ssCFZGIaQodxQUPoA

Nice!

In parallel*

I was so ready for a 12" aero

ahhhhh, gotcha

What do you mean? Was planning on an internal 12" port, provided I can still find that guy in town to make flares. I don't like how a slot looks plain, I don't know how to do kerfs either.

Lmao, just keep laughing at me while you point me in the right direction, i've literally never searched for piping before xD I'm just tryna get moar thoomps I'm going to hear this GRS one for WEEKS I bet lol

I had originally ordered pioneer a878 3.5's, instead ordered some fosgate primes. R16-s. 40 bucks for either option lol http://www.rockfordfosgate.com/products/details/r16-s Not particularly a fan of fosgate speakers, mostly just like the 2500bd and the 4000bd. But, they were pocket change so I thought I'd try them. My previous speakers were Sony midbass and dayton amt's. Aside from getting them dirty, learned they like a much higher crossover than my current shit equipment could provide.

Made a decision. Canceled my order for the 3.5's and ordered a 6.5" component set instead. I'm going to cut some mdf panels this week, seal my doors up, and order from sds. Then, install the 900.4, ditch the passives and start from there. Still have like a pound of clay left so I'll fuck with positioning until i get the response I want, then I'll revisit achieving sufficient output. Tackling both at once isn't working.

Nonono, not for my car lol, i mean for a garage speaker, or kitchen speakers. Like I said, off topic lol I like when the speakers cant be found with your eyes closed. Like the singer is singing to you, not at you from various places in the car. I don't like harsh tweets, i like a neutral sound better; i LOVED my amt tweets but was a little careless with them and got a buncha shit in the foil. I like sharp tight midbass, that you can feel in your chest, i HATE muddy/boomy mids. I listen to everything between rap, jazz, metal, country (blow me), dub, so i can't have a set that favors a particular range. Cosmetics have never mattered as much as functionality. Ever. Ugly and pristine sounding is fine by me.

interested in them for fun, they are so stupid cheap, seen a few projects on PE that looked fun if I could do them on a budget like that. Nobody i know personally can tell shit from high end so it makes for easy gifts. Im getting my a pillars done this summer, i have plenty of time to change the equipment list. I know WHAT i want, but I'm crashing and burning trying to get there. I'll mount fried chicken on my a pillars if it gets me the sound i want lol

Any reason you'd stay away from coaxials as the full range? I just ordered a pair of Pioneer a878's to play with with change off some amazon cards, was kinda excited to see how they do. I can't remember the context, I just remember someone else asking this same question, however i'm not sure it was the same application as i'm after here. If a standard driver is better for this purpose, i'd like to try some daytons, i've always been happy with my dayton products in the past, price point is hard to argue with too. Off topic, but have you messed with GRS speakers?

a pair of 3.5's and a pair of 8's should be plenty of output to keep up with my 18 at reasonable to moderate volumes with 100rms/ch on tap, yeah? I've pretty much accepted that there isn't a way to keep up at full tilt as far as midbass goes, I would just like a decent volume range. I'm very conflicted on deadening anything but the doors because of the condition of my truck, but I can't stand how loud my minimum listening volume is sometimes (to cover road noise). I really didn't expect substage to be the easiest and cheapest part of my systems when I got into this hobby, ugh. I could always gut this when I scoop the avi and move all the deadener and pods over. Idfk, i'm overwhelmed with audio for the day. Looks like i'll have to iron some of it out with the minidsp first and get back to this.

I'm trying to get the sound to seem like its coming from over the steering wheel, like the singer is on the hood of the car ish Sorry for all the typos Cracked my phone last night

Dayton maybe, Morel is pricey o.o
