  1. Did you get the refund I have been waiting for subs since jun 24

    Have any been in contact with them?

     

    Wow I hate their waiting process. I am sorry to hear that bro.

    Why do you hate it? They're built to order, I would say it's damn near impossible for them to do that and not have a wait time.


  2. yes sir.  there a million topics and none are the same.  but the good points i see are "you have 2 grand +/- in electronics... why skimp on less than 100 $ in wire?"

    This exactly! If you're on facebook look up Electron Beam Technologies. They sell nice welding cable. If you don't want to pay shipping just go to a local shop and pick some up.

     

    Why don't you just order a recone for your sub you already have?


  3. Working on a new box design. Using Torres for the most part. Looking for anyone who has a bit more experience with box building for high excursion subs to chime in and give any tweaks or suggestions. I'm wanting to try sub/port up for this box to make sure I have enough port/volume.

     

    Measurement I have are depth: 18", width: 39.5", and height 19". I want to tune at 35 hz.

     

    Torres is giving me 4.07 cubic foot at ~34.8hz with 82.5in^2 of port area. This is with a second baffle, .75" wood thickness, no bracing (calculated for), port being 5"x16.5, and port length of 35" (physical length of 28.5").

     

    This SOUNDS good to me, is there anywhere I could improve? These are pretty much my max. dimensions. I may be able to get an inch or two more height if needed.

     

    Sub's info: http://store.ficaraudio.com/team15/

     

    Any help is appreciated, thank you in advance for anyone who checks these specs out! 


  4. If you look inside the cooling vents you should be able to see the options on the sub written with a black sharpie. As for a box, just run a regular ported box. What kind of gains would he be looking for with using a Tline?


  5.  

     

    does this mean you'll actually show up to shows?

    I was at the one in Centralia on sunday, where were YOU!?

     

     

     

    work

     

    Making olympia or the tune at soundwerks before lowdown?

     

    Nice build!!!

    Thank you!


  6. Finishing up on old "updates"

     

    I've got 2 runs of 1/0 welding OFC cable in the car covered with Tech Flex. Dual inputs from explicit audio, and stock alt/battery/no big 3.

  7. wow nice install! Clean!

    Thank you! I've been checking your build out as well, and have seen nothing but great things come from it!

     

    OK-  You have a buil log on CA-F too right?  Thought it looked familiar...\

     

    Looking forward to the new box build.

    I do, yes. Finally transferring everything over :)

     

    Vee sub power, turrrrbbbooooooo.

    Absolutely love ours, build is looking great

    How do you like the tune? Thank you!

     

    I like GTIs ! Very good cars.

    Tuned in for more pics ;-)

     

    Why do you want a new box ? This one looks  good, for a few hours work ;-)

    I've had this almost a year, and I'm super happy with this car. This box doesn't have enough port area and I want different sub/port orientation (possibly) I think there can be some great improvements on a proper design.


  8. New box is def. in the works. I just need some time over at my parent's to get it done.I don't have any videos. A friend may have some footage from a show last sunday. If he makes a video with it I'll post it up!


  9. Got some cheap material from JoAnne fabrics and wrapped this bitch up!

    I bought some 6 gauge welding wire for a low power build I did, and had a ton left over, so why not use that for speaker wire?

    If course it's too large for the terminals, so I had to trim some. More than I expected.

  10. Box building.

     

    I live in an apartment in Seattle, so I have no room to build anything here, let alone plug in a power tool outside of my living room. The only time I can really build anything is when I take the 2 hour drive and a ferry ride over to my parent's house. This box was supposed to be tuned to 35 hz, with 3.5-4 ft^3 of airspace after displacement. I was rushed to get this built on a sunday afternoon/evening and I ran out of light. In the rush I made a few cuts off and my port was slimmed down a bit, so everything is off of my original plans. Not too happy with this box.
