If both were in proper enclosures the two gcons would be louder. I would suggest looking for a different amp.

More goodies. This time Mechman 270A alt, and the new all new AVBM II adjustable voltage module.

Ask for help on how to set your gain. I am not good at explaining it. Maybe start a new thread asking about it.

There is away to set it properly, but you need trained ears.

Happy Birthday to her! I know the feeling Chuck, my son is 19.5 and my daught is 16. Here I am looking to part II of my life. In 3 years no kids and only a house payment. Options are endless....

This build just got real..

There is no relation between box volume and port area. At all. There could be a few reasons for your lack of 55-65Hz range. But first off, have you swept with test tones to be sure you actually have a dip in output in that range or are you taking a guess? One of the most common reasons for this response is an exxagerated low end. This normally happens when an alignment thta is relatively flat (like yours) anechoically is placed in a car with a ton of cabin gain down low. It is like you have just added 10db+ on your last few octaves, and then you don't get so much boost right above that. It pretty much makes it sound like you have a big hole in your response, and in reality you do. The easiest solution for this is picking an alignment that isn't flat, but instead is rolled off more on th elow end with a higher ripple in response up higher, no doubt that is how your setput with the Kickers was working. This is why many people find they like the sound off a seale dbox because it is "punchy" hits th ehigher notes better. But in reality, they just have an alignment that peaks in mor eof the range they want, it has little to do with the box actually being sealed. By the way, you can make a ported box peak wherever you want by manipulating tuning and box volume (notice port area isn't mentioned, because it doesn't play into anything here) but you always have to give something to get something. So if you make a box that has a peak up high, you will loose low end and possibly have some other undesirable after effects... The other common problem (well not so common) is actuall cancellation due to the sound waves arriving at the listener at slightly different times and cancelling each other out. The only way to fix this is to move the enclosure, or change orientation. Sometimes this problem is very tough to overcome with drastic system changes. This i sone of the biggest reasons some cars are so much louder than others (inside) with identical equipment... Hope this helps...

Can't believe I have missed all the updates. Looks great as usual Neal! I am with you on the need for multiple boxes. I am running sealed but am in the process of designing a ported box to swap out when I need the output. Inconvenient but so nice to have the option.

Done....nice tunes! I'll spread the word to all my band buddies..... I know they're gonna dig these guys. Thanks for turning me on to them and hope they make it!

done and posted to facebook!

The truck looks pretty Neal! Nice pic, I really like all of the greenery too! I can't wait to get out of the desert.

Agreed!

Surprised.I was completely off. Never seen it. One of the best 'cult classic' movies ever. I have quite possible watched it 1000 times. George Clinton's cameo is fucking EPIC too. J

i LOVE how all the + inputs are on one side and all the - are on another... i love it! just need to see some real world testing

gonna get marked negative because my haters love me
