Still tweaking the mids and tweets. Just downloaded Sandt's test tone files so i plan to do some fine tuning with those. Hopefully they sound even better yet. As it sits now the lower mid bass is a little lacking, i think i need to up the slope on the sub's high frequencies, and raise the frequencies sent to the tweets. On some songs "S"s are a little harsh.

Side question. Should the mids be playing "most" of the music? vocals/ kick drums / background music, while the tweeters are really only focused on high chimes, bells and whistles?

Pretty much or you have the filter to high on the tweeters so they are dipping that low. Were do you have them crossed at? Depending on how low you are able to cross them will determine what sounds it will produce.

they're advertised to go down to about 2500. i may have them set below that. when i turn the mids off the tweets have low quality vocals coming out. i think they are too extreme both ways.

where did you get the mids from? they look great in the custom pods.

[emh9009 199]

Ascendant audio. They dont just look great, they perform as well. If you're looking for some mids def. look into them.

Here is a topic i made about them. There is a link to a dealer on here to find which dealer is closest to you and to get more info if you want on them.

In that link, there is a link to the guy i bought them from. You can only get them from an AA dealer. Literally

Got 2 large packages today, but was irritated how though. UPS just decided to leave them outside, while it's pouring outside, nobody home for hours. Awesome. Luckily nothing was damaged or stolen. All is well, time to pull them out of their packaging and take some pics! They're uploading now...

[emh9009 199]

[emh9009 199]

This is how they will be placed in the box, i like the tilted look.

Nice black finish on the ass

And what's left of the living room haha

So who has used hurricane nuts to secure their subs? What kind did you get? I'm looking at the #10-32. Is there much difference between those and the 1/2"-20 or the #8-32?

Alrighty. So to house those 12s i went to Bromo, with Eclectic Enclosure Designs (<- Click!!). I had one design ready for me, but after tweaking the height he surprised me with a new one that fits perfectly, just smaller than the first. This box is 1.7 ft^3 per sub, tuned to 34.75 hz. with 3 6" aeros. There is just over 12 in^2 of port area per ft^3. Seems perfect to me. On with some pics.

First night cuttin' and starting to glue.

Starting to line things up..

And through the magic of internet, seconds after we start... All is cut!

Mock up

And here's Paul, the guy helping build all this. Couldn't have done this without him, HUGE thanks to Paul.

We glued the sides together and the bottom on the first night, that's where we stopped. I believe we may have done this in the wrong order though. First we glued the sides together to make a square, then put the bottom piece one, which after lining the top piece it was a fraction off of square. Would starting with the bottom and adding side pieces to it have corrected this issue? Either way it's not off too much, just a little sanding and it wont be noticeable.

Lookin' Good!!!! to Paul!!

[emh9009 199]

Yeah, he surprised me when he took me up to his attic and showed me his old audio stuff he had in his El Camino. 2 10" crunch subs, ran off a RF punch 150 amp. Had some 8"s as well with some 6" mids and some tweets. Check it out! Has most of the original boxes and everything.

Check out the spiders in there, pretty different than what i'm used to.

Magnets were pretty darn beefy, took more than expected to pick them up haha

Made in America!

[emh9009 199]

One of his old school RF amps.

And the Punch 150. The cooling fins are pretty wickid

[emh9009 199]

Original boxes

Perfect condition

Even the sticker it came with, and plastic bag.

Warranty card

And the mids/tweets. He said they were made down in cali, cant remember what brand though.

Here is the box he built for it all. Mids and tweets each have their own compartment, and it's tuned to who knows what, he just threw some PVC in a hole and called it good haha

Grill to hide it all

Anyone have any idea if any of that stuff is worth anything? It's all is near perfect condition, just dirty a little. I'm impressed by it. it's all about 15-20 years old.
