  1. I wanted to know what is the way to measure port length when it comes to an L. I googled and found someone posted on another forum a hunch of different methods. So I wasn't sure which is the most common way to measure it. When I do and L port I usually keep the width consistent through out but I'm not sure if I'm measuring it correct. for instance on a regular L port say 18" long in a 12x12x12 box. With the port width being 2", I'd go towards the rear 10", then make a bend, and put a wood going 4" . So I'd count the first length as 12" then the bend has a 4" wood and I'd add the 2" gap from the second wood to the side of the box to get my 16" . Is that kinda in the ball bark? I seen people bring up end correction. and also in the bends, you'd measure to the center of the bend As you measure you're length . Any info would be appreciated

    Will 14 gauge Sufide for speaker wires

    Ok thanks. For choking in guys. I’ll pick up the spool. I hate running short on speaker wire when I’m either redoing something or doing someone else car. Then the whole project stops because of something so small lol
  4. Hey I’m thinking bout buying 300’ of sky high 14 gauge speaker wire. Will it be good enough to use as wiring for my speakers. Up to 300 watts would be going through it. I just rather get a bunch of wires so I don’t need to keep buying if I ever run out from batches. I’ve had 12 gauge but for some speakers with push terminals it’s too big. The 14 fits fine so I’m thinking it’ll be fine. Could I get some feed back

    So the amount of wattagegoing through isn’t a factor as much as the ohm load?

    Subs in trunk suggested orientation

    Oh, I was just saying that side panel rattle would be much more irratating to me then the trunk rattle. That fender rattle would have a different sound than the typical trunk rattle. Which would stand out more. I did it once in my challenger. I had my subs in a bix with a sonotube firing to the side and that panel flex was really irritating. Had a low sounding noise to it which really annoyed me. Being how a trunk has a pass to rattle so when it’s more focused on something else it’s like what the heck is that?
  8. Hey guys I’m building a sub box for a friend. He has a 98’ Camry and wants to fit a 15” T1 in there. My question is what’s the best sub orientation for a trunk setup. I have Sounds in my Altima but I got port and sub firing into the cabin. My friend doesn’t wanna leave his seats down so he asked to have it both firing backwards. Is subs and port back best for a trunk set up? Or is sub up port back works better? I even seen people saying sub up port to the side is really good. But I’m building the box the total usable width so I don’t wanna fire the port right against a wall. Thanks for the input as always guys.

    Subs in trunk suggested orientation

    Ok. I would wanna put it sub up port back just to add that custom look to it. Thanks for the input. I feel the port to the side might just rattle the heck out of the side it’s firing against. And I guess the more rattle would impress the guy more lol. So I’ll go sub up and port firing to the rear

    I vote for the evils! I love em in my Jeep. I say that because, I’ve had the evils in this car using the same box. And then I switched it to the Jeep and put these in. So I had a direct swap company comparison and the evils sounded better through all bandwidth. The teams are good don’t get me wrong but they don’t have the same bandwidth as the evils do. I did have the evils on 10k and now the teams are on 12k. But the teams are hella loud and hits the low notes differently. I was just listening to rack city by tuba and damn. I don’t remember the song hitting that hard before lol. I also did a distance test and it’s hella loud as well. What kind of power were were you gonna put on em. I know you said the dc lvl 6 wasn’t good on music. So maybe if since you’re not coming from a musical sub, the teams will blow you away lol. I mean I listen to all songs no problem. It’s not like I skip certain songs or anything, it’s just that compared to the evils. The evils hits things better on the upper end. Upper as in 60hz 80hz. ( that’s just me guessing) lol. So you could take that into consideration as well.
  23. ManzKea

    Good news everyone!

    Sounds like you should go with the evils. And you could sell the dc to buy a taramps 10k. How bad is it on music?? I was looking into the lvl 5 a while back. Then I saw the lvl 6 and was like damn this thing is a monster. Is it really bad where you can’t let your music player play and just enjoy whatever song comes up next ?

    More and more listening and it’s getting louder and aggressive. Still, very different SOUND from the regular ones. It’s growing on me though. Some of the upper bass still not as hard as with the evils. But in time we shall see
