    8" mid-bass drivers to keep up with xcon

    If you're like me and everyone else I know, a couple months will turn into like a year. Best bet is to either do it right or don't do it.

    8" mid-bass drivers to keep up with xcon

    Fixed? And to add after reading the rest of the thread... Upgrade your electrical first and just take the help you get. From what I remember, your ideas either didn't work or broke your xcon. LISTEN to the suggestions of the experienced. If they say you can easily add the mid bass woofers to the kick, it's probably true.

    Worst Movie You've Ever Seen

    See, almost all of the movies listed above have a plot. That's fine, at least they have a plot. The worst movie EVER is Recon 2020 This movie is... just awful. I can't remember any coherence to any plot. I think there was like a T-rex or brontosaurus in it. There was a time traveling robot that would randomly appear and shoot at the main characters and leave after like 10 seconds. Some of the guns looked very similar to paintball guns. This wasn't a movie to watch because it was so terrible. I was genuinely mad at my friend for renting this and wanting us all to watch it because he stole between 1 and 2 hours that I'll never get back. I envied my other friend for falling asleep, and I wasn't at my house so I couldn't just lock myself in a different room. And take a look at its official site: http://www.recon2020-movie.com/ Absolutely pitiful You've been warned.

    my xcon died :(

    What a read. I think you should replace the Xcon with a couple 12" Pyle subs until you can control yourself to spare your wallet and nice equipment. Seriously.

    Build log for 1996 Chevy Lumina- The Blue Fury

    Doors are finished. Its not good enough looking to be in a magazine, but good enough for me. Audio Innovations in Fresno gets the credit for carpeting and painting the pieces I made. This whole thing is so close to being finished. I'm going to take it to AI to have them fix as much of the hiss and whine issue as they can whenever I get some money and some time off. After that, it's just a matter of hiding all the wires, and fixing up the hole in the back seat, then it's done! Wooooowooooooooo!!

    Putting on some Damplifier Pro

    Damn I could've sworn I updated this when I finished it. Here's the door before application The target area was the outer shell. I abandoned my initial goal for 60% coverage when I heard a wonderful stereo in a brand new Shelby Mustang at Audio Innovations because they told me that there was a ****load of deadening in each front door. So I used all of what I had on my front doors. I started with the small cuts left over from when I did the trunk lid. Only the passenger side looks like a Picasso painting, the driver door is almost total coverage with large squares of damp with very few little cuts. After I covered what I could reach on the outer shell, I covered the key areas on the inner metal. A little more tricky, but still easy. Here is where I remember applying the damplifier pro on the reverse side of the inside metal. I didn't put it on the outside because I didn't want to completely remove the plastic lining because the glue that holds it in place is a real pain to work with. Aside from the problem with getting both of my 8's to work all the time, I can definitely notice a difference on the outside of the car. Much less vibration and noise from the door. As for inside, I noticed an increase in the volume from about 150-300hz. There was no difference from about 70-150 but I believe that to be from the door being insufficiently sealed to act as an optimal enclosure for the 8's. I still plan to add more damplifier much later on, summer time at the earliest.

    2 chambers, separate tuning

    That design I posted is a 6th order bandpass.

  13. So I got both channels to work for some time today. I went to an electronics repair shop recommended by a local shop to see what they could do. Idk if I'll actually take it there because it was reeeeeeeeaaaaalllllllllllllllllllllllllly messy, all kinds of shit piled up everywhere, a dog inside the shop and the owner wasn't even around. The wife that barely spoke English that had only like half her teeth told me he went for a walk. yuuuuuuuuck
  14. I have an old school memphis Belle 6-ch amp. Here is what I know for sure: -Channels 1-4 work fine. (4x75@4) -Channels 5 and 6 have possible the same problem, but 6 has it worse. (2x150@4 playing 80-250hz) -Channel 5 works maybe half the time at start up -Channel 6 never works on start up. -Power/ground/remote is secure and is 4awg. -Both speakers are connected properly. -Both speakers have power from the amp (I know this for a fact) -Neither speaker is blown, both have good coils and leads. -The RCAs are good and both send signal to the amp (again, I know this) -If I play a tone within range of the band pass and gradually turn up the volume to about 80% up to the volume I set my gains at, channel 5 will play a bit of static like it has a loose connection then play consistently at full output (with respect to the HU volume level) -If I play the same tone at the volume that the gains were set at or maybe a notch higher, channel 6 will emit very short ticks of static. I want to turn it up higher to 'bring it to life' like the 5th channel, but I don't want to cause any more problems. Another note, I noticed that after I 'wake up' the 5th channel, it may go out again. It does not cut out, it fades out. I can repeat the process by playing the tone to wake it up again. I don't do it very often to try and avoid further problems. I've never pushed this amp hard or anything, I've treated it with a lot of care. It's got to be something in the amp but I've never dealt with amp problems before. It seems to me that by turning it up, the amp has to work harder with heat as a byproduct. This heat inadvertently softens a cold solder joint enough to enlarge the solder to establish a better connection. This could work for the 6th channel but the gap in the connection is too big for the amount of expansion caused from the heat of normal use. But that idea is probably wrong. What could it be?
  15. x2. This leads me to my suggestion for a mid: Tang band 1337 This was given a great review on the site. I have the w4-1720 and like it in the 300-2000hz range. I haven't had experience with the midbass drivers you listed, but the one I list is the Hertz High energy 8". I love that one. I've heard it in different cars and it sounds great.
