    I take it that getloud is Shay. Thanks man, I try my hardest, even considering everything I have been through as of late(my amputation). It is like someone said, for all the negative comments, its awesome to see someone take the time to post something positive. Shay it has been awesome to talk to you, and we will continue to communicate. You have my numbers, call me anytime.
  2. Just something small I put together, hope you enjoy! If you would like to see 4th order build pics and more, check out: www.facebook.com/DiverseVizionz
  3. He's a vendor here. The regulars know what he's talking about.
  4. mount your speakers to the outside of your vehicle. That's the easiest and best way to be heard from a long way away outside of the vehicle.
  5. And to be MUCH more informative....
  6. Not sure if he is willing to ship, but if you click the ad link, you will see:
  7. He is a moderator, I think he does.
  8. Apparently that car runs on stupidity since they covered the fuel fill door. I personally like the ported woofer on the rear window.

  10. Check your fuses, make sure you didn't pop one when you were hooking/unhooking the battery.

    2 Gcons would be nice or one Icon.
  12. The best steak I ever ate was a 28oz, hand trimmed, hand cut, aged porterhouse. I was happy to pay $42.

    And that amp will be perfect for two GCONs at 1 ohm.
  14. There's member here called //m5 and he's really big into spl stuff, you should send him a pm.
  15. I like to hit it hard too.
  16. It's been my experience as a public educator that people can, and do indeed, fail harder.
  17. Not much, just packed my bags, and ate some smoked salmon. You? For the life of me I just don't understand why people like Salmon, I tried it dozens of times, but still...nothing. To the OP- Welcome! Have you ever tried smoked salmon? Regular cooked salmon I don't care for either, but smoked salmon is way better imo.

  19. Wow, can you fail any harder. Perhaps you should just go to Best Buy and ask the same question regarding two of their subs. You'll get a boner answer, but if you aren't willing to try to actually express what you want to do that is all you deserve. To tickle you into the right direction, I'll give you a hint. You are asking about equipment without ANY description of the things that will actually make the difference.
  20. Thank you and if you do please let me know. SSA members get the VIP tour.

    That's going to happen no matter what. One side effect of the hobby is, you're never satisfied.

    Nice job bro! Just go to the next show, and they can whip you up the medal you missed out, hopefully one of the judges kept it.
  23. how about sealed at the headrest on classical music?
  24. Bass boost is generally a terrible idea. What you are asking the amplifier to do is double (+3db), triple (+6), or quadruple the amount of power to a specific frequency which often clips the ever-loving crap out of the signal and cause harm to the speaker. Professionals will NOT boost when setting EQs, they will cut the majority of frequencies and leave the ones they want "boosted" at normal level. Hope this layman's explanation helps.
  25. You guys are correct, the 4" coil BL is no longer. We do offer a daily or spl version of the BL though. Personally if you ask me, the spl version of the BL10 is monster!
  26. Good thing the repair shop opened early today.
  27. Both coils read good and makes no noise, so it looks like I am going to get some amazing goop and get it fixed up. I know this sub gets beat daily beyond belief and wanted to show how it has held up.
  28. The xcons were on an audiopipe ap1500.1 in this video and it suprised the shit out of me at how loud and hard it hit. Funny less then the rms of one sub on two subs was impressive.
  29. <<<<-----divorced, LMAO!....but yes, lots of estrogen
  30. BL Series: Available options and what they do: The BL line is pretty much a lower power alternative to a BTL or a higher power alternative to the Q series of woofers. This is more of a street jamming type woofer that “fills the gap” if you will between these two series of subs. Keep in mind this is what we recommend, this is NOT what you have to do. P Chamfer: This is a chamfer on the end of the pole, it helps to bring the air down around inside of the motor and helps cool the coil better. It also helps relieve the pressure underneath the dustcap. We recommend at the bare minimum to get this option if you choose this series of woofers. Hyper Pole: This is an extended version of the standard P Chamfer. It has 1.250” more pole and chamfer resulting in an increased compression ratio for better cooling. Cooling: Self explanatory, the cooling channels are machined into the inside of the sub to help cool the coil FAR better. But there are some things that you sacrifice. There is less metal inside of the motor so it is a little weaker. If you are looking for a fart/burp only scenario for SPL we suggest that you do NOT get this option. Stick with only the P chamfer. Now if you are looking for a daily sub to beat on and you have less then 2000 watts then this is the option for you. 2000+ watts you need to look into the BTL series. Flatwind: The flatwire coil option simply helps the power handling of the sub. The coil has more surface area to dissipate heat and will take more power then the regular round wire coil that comes in the ‘stock’ version of the sub. This option will also make the sub tend to be more prone to ‘peaking’. If you are looking to do an SPL install we highly recommend that you use choose the flatwound coil option. In testing it is louder then the regular roundwire coil and takes the thermal abuse much better. Daily or SPL: Simply put, if you plan on listening to any type of music you MUST choose the daily option. If it is strictly for a fart/burp scenario then choose the SPL option. The reason we have these options is the gap tolerances between the two are different. The gap in the SPL woofer is much tighter and FAR less forgiving in comparison to the Daily option. The Daily option simply gives the coil more wiggle room inside of the gap to deal with the non-linearity tendancys that you can get into when you are using a sub in a daily driving scenario. Typically SPL applications deal with 1 note and it does not change, therefore we can make the gap much tighter and get all of the motor strength that we can out of it. Extreme Lead: ONLY choose this option if you plan to use the woofer for SPL ONLY applications. This option tends to yield really bad tinsel slap and rubs holes in the spiders (especially on the 10’s and 12’s) it is not intended on using in a daily driving scenario. Universal: This option gives you the choice to later chance the impedence of your voice coils. You can change from dual 2’s to dual 1’s and vice versa by reconing them. If you do not choose this option your motor(s) will be optimized per the coil resistance that you have chosen. (Dual 2’s will forever be a dual 2 motor, Dual 1 will forever be a Dual 1 motor). Enclosures: First off we do not recommend using a sealed box for any of the BL or BTL series of woofers BL 10 – Ported box we recommend using .5-1.2 cubic feet from 30-37Hz tuning with ~15 square inches of vent. (IMO 32hz tuning daily driving is optimal) BL 12 – Ported box we recommend using 1.8-2.5 cubic feet @ 30-37Hz (I personally think that a 32hz tuning is optimal, and has the most output and is still the most musical daily driving). Use 12-16 square inches of vent area per cubic foot of volume. BL 15 – Ported box we recommend using 2.8-4 cubic feet @ 28-37Hz. Again use 12-16 square inches of vent area per cubic foot of volume. BL 18 – Ported box we recommend using 5-10 cubic feet @ 30-37Hz tuning, you can tune a little higher if you wish but we recommend keeping it close to 32hz for a daily driver. Again the same 12-16 square inches of volume applies per cubic foot of volume. Pictures and cut sheets for some enclosures coming soon.
