Of course. He's aware of this thread and is now in damage control mode.

Fucking finally

is the wait lol due to comprehension? Here it is in a nutshell. You compared two things for which you didn't actually have any ideas what the settings were and thought they sounded the same. The settings may have been the same, the output may have been different. Your method of comparison DIDN'T work nor show or prove anything other than you don't quite understand how to compare the amps. Theoretically even if you had done the setup correctly you also may not have noticed a difference since the best possible gain isn't that much and your ears (all humans) are dumb enough to hardly notice that when spread out over a period of time.

Thank you. I'm pretty happy with it! Need to post up the build log of it all on here soon. They get better and better every day. Little changes here and there and it always seems to sound better or get louder!

Good news, OP ! The 1000 w amp is not bad ! If you're satisfied with a 400 w amp (the 125.2) keep it and use it. Don't need to have !!!

LOL....Exactly what I was thinking. Weren't they like $60 for a "6-pack" ? Aaron, I think you guys need to come out with an FPcon in honor of the Funky Pup. Would be a great addition to the SSA lineup I will put in a call to Krypton to see if they have any spider packs and surrounds left. There was rumors that before the Death Star was destroyed, that some special cones were jettisoned off into space for fear of the attack. Supposedly, Ray Liotta can get a hold of some nasty voice coils. That would leave only the unobtanium motor structure, last I saw, the Navi were pretty pissed when humans tried to take their rare metals. Just saying.

You're asking an extremely vague question that would require an extremely long and detailed explanation. The short of it is that it sound is created by the movement of air. The more air you move, the louder the sound will be. With bass it's a little more difficult to fill a large listening space with sound than it is a smaller listening space, which means if you are in a large listening space (like your van) you generally need to move more air to have the same output as a smaller listening space (like a compact car). If you took a 12" subwoofer and put it in compact car & measured it's output and then put that 12" subwoofer in your van and measured the output again, the output when in the compact car would end up being louder. The amount of air a subwoofer can move is called it's displacement, and it's determined by the size of the cone and the amount of excursion the subwoofer is capable of. So a subwoofer with a larger diameter cone, like an 18", is going to move more air than a subwoofer with a smaller cone, which means more potential output (assuming excursion and listening space are equivalent). However, large diameter drivers generally require a larger enclosure volume than smaller speakers, so you need to have more room available for the enclosure with a larger diameter subwoofer. In your van you have the advantage of having enough airspace to allow you to properly fit a pair of large diameter subwoofers, which is good. On the down side, and you also have more listening space to deal with when trying to create bass. If your goal was to create loud bass, your best option would be to use large diameter subwoofers with decent amount of excursion to create more air movement inside your large listening space which will allow you the ability to create louder bass. That's Bass 101 in a nutshell. Obviously there is much more to it, but that's the very basics in layman's terms.

While flattery is nice, it does not pay the bills. So if your are being copied and they are selling to what should be your customers, it starts to take a negative roll. Thus internet wars end up starting lol. It's especially negative when the imitator says the object of his imitation is ripping people off by overcharging for crap, while his product is "better than Dynamat" (hypothetically :

If what you have sounds fine for the application that you have it in, then do not mix the woofers. You do not want to have a standard qts and a high qts mixed in together..it'l cause some weird things with the response curve to happen.

Footage from a show in Tampa Florida this past Sunday. Bass Heads Ent's Robin Butler with his 07 Galant. 2 12" PSI Platform 1s on a Crescendo BC2000D amplifier in a rear-deck blowthru fourth order. Enjoy the video. My build should be done Saturday or Sunday (BHE build) stay tuned. bassheadsent.net

Thanks for being a great member of the forums, we hope you have a great birthday!

Hookers and blow my man.... hookers and blow...

The big old 35 has krept up upon you my friend. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! Don't motorboat too hard tonight!

He's only 22 months. Way too hot for him all day

I'll go motorboating tonight instead.

if you want to look at it that way sure, but, your results are not common something along the way was not correct IMO> amp settings, ohm load, somthing my first question would be.. what was the final ohm load that you were presenting each of the amps... i know for a fact that the 125.2 is only rated for a 4 ohm mono load. and a 2 ohm stereo load.

Added a few more LED's....

Awwwww shiiiiiiiiiiiit. You done said it. Now yews in fer sum fun.

thats muh boy! lil bitch at the dog park said " awwww his balls are shaped like harts"

Oh, it flew, flew right out the window and in the direction of SMD. Maybe they can make a package deal on their bullshit, I mean, distortion detector, and some AT deadinher.

This forum isn't for Want to Buy threads.

You can add SDS to that list That's because he's tried to fling his bullshit around here, and we didn't let that shit fly

those are forsure my jams!!!

wow hes a beauty

Good looking dog!

log(1000/400)*10 = 3.9794dB However speakers aren't very efficient, and they have their limitations. To be a little more specific, that is the maximum theoretical difference. The actual difference in output will be less due to power compression, which means that the subwoofer (or any speaker) is not converting the same percentage of that additional power into acoustic output due to various reasons. I don't know the power handling limits of the RF sub or how it responds to that enclosure, but it's entirely possible that power compression would reduce the actual increase in output by 1db or more. As was mentioned, the amount of perceived difference depends on many different factors, including frequency. A ~4db difference in the bass would be noticeable but not dramatic. But that's before power compression, realistically the difference would be something less than ~4db. On top of that, you don't actually know how much power you were applying to the subwoofer. So it's all a moot point anyways.

Really Dudes, even Mass companies can have Elemental Skars to their reputation and still sell product. People will buy cheap shit just because it's cheap. Hell, they buy shit just by being told it's on sale.

As promised, pics of the completed boxes : It's installed, along with the amp. I still need to build an amp cover and some trim pieces for the sides. Should be happening next week and I will post pics of the install once it's done

Let's hear it for the free exchange of information

Sell the drivers, buy a toothbrush.

The secret to removing a low quality butyl adhesive is by using a better quality butyl adheisve to dab at it and pull it off. Aaron and I did this on a project and it works well until the better stuff gets overloaded and you have to throw it away. I've got some damaged Extruded Butyl Rope that would be perfect for this if you don't have anything else to use. PM me with an address and I'll send you some.

Two things... One, why did you not like the wire? It's pretty hard to mess up wire so curious as to what you do not like about it.. And 2, bassahaulic, some things are sold cheaper than anyone else and still perform well.. Crescendo and Audiopipe.. We may not be comparing utmost superior parts being used in some AP amps but with how the majority of users use high powered amps just for xtreme bass and burps, if it works, it works.. Proper installation will allow anyone's product to last a long time.

High QTS removes some seteel from the motor, decreasing motor force, it will sound more smooth, the opposite of "peaky".

Looks good! That guy's reaction in the first video is hilarious.

and for that reason alone i wont make a big fuss about making arrangements....... austin heat wave on the other hand... ITS GOING DOWN!!!! party, SPL and BBQ + SSA members = good times!!

wish it was that easy to put shit in the trunk lol looks good

Crappy pic but here proof lol, Was maybe doing a 45

what? that's it?? this is designed just for u...lol and we don't mind 20 page convo's get to work... wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Awww, I'm touched.... where I pee.
