    Just thought I'd share the RE group buy going on. http://forums.caraudio.com/vb/showthread.php?t=84160 This is what David from RE wrote.

    I kno this is a real subjective thing but Im just trying to get ideas.. When I sell my truck Ill be getting a 99 maxima and ill have about 1000 left over and that all goes to the system. Im down to 3 sub choices: -2 Rl-p 15s sealed w/700/800 watts to each -1 Rl-p 15 ported w/700/800 watts -1 Mag 15 ported w/around 1200 watts (assuming I can get one when Im ready to put my system together) Everything else is up to you guys; deck, comps, 6x9s, sub amp, ect So what would you do in my shoes? Thanks Tom

    I've got an old school record player, Sony 100 disc changer, an old AKAI amp (from what, the '70's?), and a pair of JBL 3-ways. It sucks. So ... as some of you know, I do fine wood working in my spare time (coffee tables, china cabinets, cigar boxes, gun cabinets, pens, bowls, anything out of wood). I don't need another table in my home. What I do need, are some towers and subwoofer enclosure so I can eventually throw in some speakers and my uberwoofer. I'd love to make some enclosures out of a nice mahogany, eastern maple, oak, ash, anything really. I don't know chit all about HT. So I have to break it down real simple so I can understand it. I was thinking about tw…

    Okay, I've found myself lately to be more keen on the particular sound of paper cone drivers. I am wondering if anyone else feels this way or differently. Is it perhaps just the better driver or application, or does cone material in woofers/midbass/midrange have a noticable affect on the sound? It's clearly evident in a lot of tweeters between metal/soft domes or otherwise, but how do people feel on the woofer side? I'd appreciate any knowledgeable on the subject who could give some insights on which materials may have better sonic characteristics.

    www.criticalmassaudio.com Man, I remember these guys from back in the day. I bought one of their 15s when I saw them in Shaq's Astro van. Good product. Apparently they've been brought back to life by parent ICON. Seem to have some very promising products coming out. I remember a test on those electrostats by CSR back in the day. AWESOME! Check out the site!

  20. Heres my status. I just sold the kove armageddon and the planet audio tt2250D that I had sitting around. I am in the process of selling my Planet Audio VX3002, and I will be ordering my Orion 2500D tomorrow. Once I sell the PA, I will order my 400.4. I also have some wheels on ebay so I can have some money to spend for christmas shopping. I am also about to buy a pair of EQT's for $115. Finals this week too. Fun stuff. Getting the car back hopefully friday or so. For those who don't know, I had a blowout and went off of the road messing up my axle shaft and a few body parts. The car has been in the damn shop for almost a month now. The dealership is absolutely pathetic. …

    I am looking into buying two 15" subs, a nice decent headunit, an amp to power the subs, a set of components for the front and an amp to power the components. What would you guys recommend for all of that. I have no more than $1500 to work with and I would like to stay under that price. I want the equipment to be nice high quality equipment, but still staying under that price. Thanks, Kyle

    Well where to begin? About 3 months ago my friend nick decided to get a blow through installed in his '98 tacoma reg cab. The aaudio shop he went to installed 2 memphis 12's not the mojo but the next step down. His box is each sub in a 1.2 cube firing at each other into a 3.5-4 cube space. With a port that extends out from there into the cab. Needless to say it sounds and his like @$$. Well, you guys have any ideas how to make it better both sq and spl wise, and no a match and gas isnt an option. Any ways I was thinking one 12" or 15" in 3-3.5 cubes ported. with the sub and the port facing forward to go through into the cab. How does that sound? We are starting …
