Welcome to the IHoP

Ya know, the audio scene in my town and the one next to me suck if the loudest thing around was my s-10 with two RE (the RE series) 12's tuned to 32hz. I don't give a damn really about spl, I just find it funny.

Theres a kid in HS here that is running around with an Explorer, he has two JL W0's or W1's or something. Ones in a sealed box, and the other is in a ported box from a cheapo HT unit. This box is somethin else, there is a cutout for the port, but no acutal port, it is quite funny. The wiring is pure ghetto too, I acutally laughed when I saw it, I told him if he wanted some help, give me a call. Haven't seen him since though.

When I was going to HS, the common thing was JL W0's. A friend of mine had the loudest system with three 10W0's in a sealed enclosure, powered by a PG Tantrum 500.2 - in a Subaru wagon.

I think he felt bad when I came back my senior year with the same amp he had running his subwoofers, powering my front stage :D I was really the only serious competition he had as far as subs go.

Man...those were the days when I didn't think sound deadening was worth it, and the install didn't matter as much :)

Had another friend with an A'bahn AWT12X running off a JBL BP1200.1, which is about the worst amp to adjust if you're upside down in a trunk and trying to adjust the gains.

That thing got decently loud, though...sounded like absolute ass, but was alright for a fart machine.

Id have to say my friends SE 12 was the loudest at school.

Well, there was one kid with 2 12's and 1 10 but he most definetly did not buy his system.

Rode in a former classmates truck yesterday evening, four 8" solobarics, needless to say I was not impressed.

I've had a gameing subwoofer in my closet for some time, has a sapposed F3 of 40Hz and will run up to ~250Hz.

The aura's are good from 200 to 15Khz.

Im going to build a TL for the aura's to 180Hz and the subwoofer will take care of the rest. I have two sound cards so i can use the output EQ's for each as Xovers.

You don't really "tune" a TL to Fs, if you did that, you'd just have a bass reflex enclosure tuned to the Fs of the driver...

What the TL does is reverse the phase of the rear wave, which gets you the same effect, pretty much :)

I assume you've read Martin King's website on this, he's the pimp when it comes to ML-TL's and their design...also hangs out on DIYAudio.

:ughdunno:

Im doing it for 180Hz (Fs of 200) and stuff it if its too "boomy" (can you have boomy up high?) and ill shorten it if I have a dip.
