We just did a new run of these shirts, and got some bigger sizes. Get them while you can. Sizes Large - 5XL http://store.soundsolutionsaudio.com/products/dickies-ssaudio-com-shirt.html http://store.soundsolutionsaudio.com/products/dickies-ssaudio-com-shirt.html

Thanks Nem, thats basically what I was expecting. Keep em coming guys, I would love to hear some input based on t/s parameters and of course more from people who have heard them both. Keep in mind IN NO WAY am I regretting my choice of xcons, im just curious about them and the subs that "compete" with them tho I have decided without even hearing them nothing can compete Can I get an amen SSA brethren? lol

To my ear they are very similar in sound, but the xcon seems to get louder. Keep in mind both subs were sealed. Don't know if that helps, but both sound very good!

Before even starting with a mid you need to determine potential mounting locations. EVERYTHING is a compromise, no need to add more by deciding things without the background. Oh, and give up on keeping up with an 18". No way, no how that is going to happen in the midbass realm. Going to have a gap, no way around that if you are comparing to full tilt levels. Of course if you are like most other bassheads "keeping up" means hearing the words. In that case, it's easy.

Was looking through some very old pictures tonight and found this. Thought you guys might find it interesting.. Our 2009 Home page (when I was just getting my web design chops back in order from a 7 year break)

That's what I call port area. Looking good!Thanks Sean, I spend a couple hours double checking eveything and want to make sure all the numbers sound right. I am thinking these 18's just might get loud. Might get loud? Lmao. Thats like swift saying his boxes are just "ok built" !! Cant wait to see this, should be straight up LEGIT with a little nasty on the side! WOOT

Dude, you're 33 and have four kids too? Where the hell you hiding at in this damn boat? Sounds like we're in the same one! LOL

That's because MAX power ratings are useless and more often than not full out marketing hype and lies. MAX power is useless because there's no set limit for subs and speakers. Depending on the application and installation that number could be considerably higher or barely higher than the RMS rating. Forget about MAX power ratings and concentrate on a quality installation.

That's what I call port area. Looking good!

Thinking of making a plywood aero port. Stack the needed number of square pieces of plywood and start carving the outer and inside shape. It will take a full weekend most likely, but damn will it look nice after I finish it with some clear resin and polished. For the length I'll use a pipe or go with 8 side.

Yeah they are awesome little amps. It will not be going their permanently. The factory bose system has two amps mounted in the trunk. I am going to utilize the stock mounting locations.

and the very first ssaudio.com site from 2001 or so...

1st 3 Zcon's ever built too.

brochures...same era

Spent about 4 hours tonight cutting out the braces for all the models that require them. Lots of work. Lots of dust. But I think they turned out nice.

I've been doing this long enough... To know that is a lot of damn sawdust for one nights work!

In the main passband I don't think output would be an issue. A WB's rated sensitivity is lower than a standard tweeter, but given their sizable cone area advantage their peak output capabilities will exceed that of a tweeter.....might take comparatively more power to get there, but given their coils are significantly larger than a tweeter's and tweeter's really don't use much power to start with that's not going to be much of an issue. Where a WB is going to fall short of a tweeter is above ~10khz, but how much that affects things depends on listener preference, listener's hearing abilities and listening material.

People not familiar with Slayer?

His point was, if you randomly assemble parts you aren't going to have proper T/S parameters, which means you are not going to be able to design an enclosure for it. If you had someone measure the T/S for you, then you would be able to at least design an enclosure......but you're stuck with whatever the T/S turn out to be, it might turn out to be a turd since there is absolutely zero actual engineering or design going into the parts selection. The moral of the story is your plan is not a good one. Even if the parts fit together and you're able to assemble a working subwoofer, it doesn't mean the driver is going to be any good. Good parts on a good motor with zero engineering going into the design does not mean the results are also going to be any good.

Beaming will occur when the frequency wavelength is less than or equal to the diameter of the cone. Make sure your units are the same: wavelength(cm) = 34029 (cm) / frequency (hz), so: Beaming Frequency (hz) = 34029 (cm) / diameter from Sd in cm Sd being T/S value for surface area of cone. IE: Exodus ex-anarchy driver: Sd: 131cm^2, area circle = pi*radius^2, so squareroot(131/pi)=radius=6.457, radius*2=diameter, 6.457*2=12.9cm 34029 / 12.9 = 2638hz So this driver, or any other driver with the Sd in the same realm would start to beam around 2638hz. If you know the cone diameter in inches then you could also do 13397 / diameter(in). Ultimately you'd want to be using measurements for the cone, and not the overall diameter of the driver. IE: Exodus ex-anarchy driver cone diameter = ~5", and OD is ~7" 13397/5=2679hz, 13397/7=1913hz That's a significant difference. ------------------------------------------------------------------- So a rudimentary answer to 8" mid and 6.5" mid would be: 8" OD, so let's say the cone diameter is 7", 13397/7 = 1913hz 6.5" OD, ~5.5", 13397/5.5 = 2435hz

Evening bump!

What lol

Early afternoon bump

She is the one with the big heart. I could literally go the to hospital just like five miles from myhhouse and what over these souls all day every day. If only I had the time ;(

All of y'all have such big hearts

A picture from tonight, ready for some food!

Danny Thomas

St. Jude was founded in my city

Donated to an amazing cause! I wish you all the best of luck and ill keep you in my thoughts!

bump

Just looking at this picture make me positive she will like the scent pack.

Thank you guys for Bumping this. I kept seeing it when I was mobile and couldn't donate. I went to pin it for that reason and realized it's pinned. As you post, please keep bumping this to the top of the "View New Posts". Sean, if karma exists you deserve some serious blessings. Most people would focus on helping themselves and not using the energy to help others. I am also sure many of us here read the thread and want to reach out to help Lucy, not just your benefit to St. Jude. I know I sure do.

Done. Prayers coming your way. Stay strong my friend, one day at a time. St. Jude is a wonderful cause, we donate monthly and hope to always be able to.

Going to keep up the social network drive push.

What are they? 5th & 6th Prize: $25 SSA Store Coupon codes

2 more prizes donated to the raffle.

Night bump!

Afternoon bump.

I wish your family the best. Definitely a worthy cause.

done:D great idea

Posted on 3 forums, best of luck

Wish the best for your family and daughter. Donations will definitely be going to a worthy cause.

What's the totals? I donated $75 a few weeks ago.
