Had m bud Regal1975 stop over yesterday and try out the Linear X. He has 2 Kicker 10" L7's with 1100 RMS on each one. He has them in a small Nissan truck with the rear glass removed and the subs right there. 2 subs on the pass side and the port on the right. Ended up doing a 144.7 on the dash. All he could say was Evil X

Just curious on a couple things Tracy, figured maybe some other members here are just as well, #1 you guys get greg davis back yet man?? I miss that guy! #2 you guys doing anything for finals this year or for competitors in the near future? #3 next years goals in the competition circuit?

Anyone ever bought a box from Bobby? I have always said I would as soon as I find the perfect sub; still looking. www.gatelyaudio.com

I know there are a ton of choices out there but wondering what everyone is using here. Right now RAAMat looks like the choice for me, followed by Fatmat or Edead. Feel free to post away.

I am looking into the possible carrer of building speakers and audio equipment. Nick, Jake, Where did you guys go to school after high school to learn how to do all this audio greatness. I dont have a clue where to start looking. I think maybe electrical engineering, but maybe there is a specialty school or something. Let me know anything would be appreciated. Thanks, Steve

So I decided I was going to finish deadening my car tonight. Only part left was the floor. Now in hopes of being a little more efficient than the ole' heat gun, I used an oven I purchased for powder coating. Awesome deal for $30. Anyways, I cut all the pieces to fit, then removed the backing, slapped them face down on the aluminum side and let them sit for 5 minutes each at 200 degrees. Worked out pretty good. Hell of a lot quicker than sitting there fanning the heat gun back and forth. If anyone has this option available to them, I suggest trying it. Don't let them sit for too long though or the adhesive(read asphalt) will start to bubble and overflow onto the ove…

just finished putting a memphis pr10 in a 1ft^3 box, tuned to about 37-38 hz ( i lenghtened the port 3/4" ofer the recommended, which would have been 40hz), being pushed by a memphis pr140...yep, a whooping 70 wrms!! anyway...ummmm..WOW! while not a spl monster, it is loud! i am definitely going to have to find a 200-250 wrms amp and see what happens! some pics soon...i didn't take pics of the build, but i will take some of the semi finished box ( i will carpet it gray in a week or so).. it's also very musical.i am indeed impressed. maybe it was thinking how loud it wouldn't be,it is just 70 wrms and check my sig to see what i'm used too, that i set myself up for failure.…

I have a 2002 s10 reg cab and i started the box today. It will house a single sound splinter Rl-p 15" sub (hopefully, I think i have it figured where I can do it) if not, then a single 12" Rl-p sub. Either will be run off a JL 500/1. figured out the pix!!!

hey, a friend of mine almost got popped for a sound ordinance violation, lucky for him, he's in school to be a lawyer.. here's some advice he gave that helped him get out of the ticket.. 1) check your local laws, know exactly what they say 2) if pulled over, don't argue. make known the fact that you are going to contest the violation, politely 3) ask how loud you were. " i could hear you 50 feet away" is almost certainly a "dismissal" it's on the state/county/city/township to prove how far away they were...and they have to be able to prove it. 4) if they do conduct a sound metering test, make sure the meter has been calibrated within a year(<--generally, a good rule o…

i just started on this project..... 8-12" P series subs from orion w/2-2500d amps also orion in a ford experdition.....

am i right? the excert below is from an email, Custom Audio from marble hill, mo...i'm still trying to find his/her s/n over at ca.com

My buddy in Atlanta just started his own Internet Audio Store. Here is the link. Unfortunately the site is still being worked on so there is not much there. It will get better with time though! http://www.autosoundconcepts.com/ He can get just about anything (trust me, I have had him quote some pretty funky stuff ) If you need anything just give him an email and he will do his best to answer your question or get you a price. By the way, he goes off for his Marine Reserve 2 week duty the 15th of Sept so he won't be around to answer emails.

Okay 2 DEI Viper Dual 4 ohm 12" subs ported box, tuned to 28 htz. And neither on the back seat nor in the trunk with the seat folded down, I still can't get over a 141. I got a 140.3 the 1st time with shittier subs, and a sealed box..............and running the amp only @ 2 ohms not 1 like today...........But that Was in a Mountaineer............Anyways after I got 2 CRX style boxes from Kurt I was able to do a 144.4 from the back seat. Thew boxes wouldn't fit in the trunk which rots. I am going to Competiton this Sunday in Rochester and then again Sept. 11th in Limestone, NY. Hopefully I can place in Advanced NW this weekend and place in the 1-306 class later on........…

With SSaudio going down and me working a ton lately i havent been able to get online, but I am back and kicking again. Heres a little update. I have some major plans coming up in the near future. Tomorrow i will be buying a 1990 Honda CRX, for Street A. The CRX is to replace my 92 Honda Civic, pictures can be found at www.team-bio.com. I realized that my Civic isnt going to get any louder than it is. Currently it is at 143.1, but might have changed as i did something yesterday and havent played with it. Anyways, Im going to be trying to get into the 48s in Street A with my crx.What I will be running in the car for the system is basically going to be all my stuff outta my …

Anyone know of a good company for 16v batteries other than turbostart?

Anyone near the Atlanta area and would like to hop on a meter let me know. Here is my little niche in the garage. It is a Linear X. Not the greatest spot, but it gets the job done:)

So I dont have a whole lot of pics but here are some. I know other people have alot more. It was an ok turn out. Maybe 50 people, not too huge. Dan was on the grill making us adire heads food. Maybe 15 cars went on the TL mic. I hit a 133.5 at 37hz with 220 watts on a brahma 15 with the mic by the headrest and one window down in a temp set up until I get my sub amp. There were some sick installs there but I know other people will have pictures to post of them so I'm not even going to bother getting into them now. I dont know anyone else on this forum who was there, but more talk about the event can be seen at http://forum.soundillusions.net/showthread.php?t=38754 along wi…

Anyone looking for pics of anything in particular., like amps or subs. I just may have it.

$30 brand new. Hell, I couldn't imagine even finding a plate amp this cheap. I got the whole thing for a fraction of the plate amp. Guess I'll have to set fire to the old CPU subbox, and plug the driver into the 240 plug.

Just got this email from the police officer handling my case and lives next door:

alrite, ive built two boxes so far. both times i have had to recut things. he reason being is im not sure how i will piece everything together as far as screwing them together....always seems that one edge will be to wide or too long.......is there a certain way that makes a stronger box or what??? or can someone make a diagram on what way is best??? (talking about how all the edges should meet)
