  1. Started by TheyDroppedMe,

    I thought cabin gain was supposed to make a sub sound louder and play lower, yet with my doors closed and windows up, it is signifigantly quieter than with a window down or door open, especially in the low bass region. FYI, I have an audioque LW8 (awesome sub btw) in a 1 cu. ft. enclosure with 16in^2 of port tuned to 35hz behind the driver's seat of a 1998 ford ranger extended cab facing backwards. It seems like there is some sort of cancellation going on; in my HT I could help this by adjusting the phase, but i've never heard of a phase adjustment on a car amp. Anything to fix this, or am I doomed to rolling the windows down when I want to bump? I've already tried rev…

    I purchased an Audiocontrol Epic 160 in Dec. of 2003 to test the original D2 12's in my Jeep Grand Cherokee. It was incredible being able to put in heart pounding bass into what normally wouldn't have any bass. Anyway I had big SPL plans for the Jeep until the ride was officially not mine anymore. Long story short I purchased a lot of great items to help increase your SPL and now I have changed my focus for my new car, '99 Infinity G20T, to LSQ. So I have an Epic 160 used for approx. 3 weeks and a brand new 0 Awg amp kit fully complete but opened because I wanted to feel the difference between my little 4 Awg to the Beasty 0. If anyone is interested reply back with y…

  6. Does anybody know the exact cutout for the Zcon 18"? I will be using a Jasper jig on my router. I know it says 16.75" but I thought I heard it was a bit smaller? They are not here yet and I need to cut my baffles. Thanks.

    I'm looking at the RE SR subs for 600 watts and I may run a pair of the 10s. However I saw that the 12s only require 1.5 subs per sub tuned to 35 hz. Does that sound right? If it is correct what type of sound would that produce? Would it have good SQ and get loud?

    Im looking for a good tweeter match for my MLI-6.5. Both the mid and the tweeter will be in the door. I could probably find a place to put the tweeter on axis if that matters any. It will be a active system ran off a US Acoustics USX-4065 (zed built) rated at 65x4 at 4 ohms. The substage will be a 18" xcon ran off a saz-1500d. Im looking for good sound. If it has the ability to get loud thats just a plus.
