i have a 97 qx4 basically the exact same car except for the drivetrain and transferbox (it uses the system from a skyline) I had 4 15's and 20kw in it, right now i just have the door speakers in it and a hho system because i was getting 8mpg highway ( i get 25 now) im gonna put 4 18's in it eventually in a b pillar wall mine is fully "armored" ive been shot at in it before so i know it can at least stop a 45 handgun the windows dont go down anymore but the door panels go exterior door skin-> 2 layers of dynamat-> then a layer of 1/4 inch alumnium -> then a layer of 3/4 inch mdf with 8 lb/sqft rigid foam inbetween both layers and the alum and the door the roof and trunk are the same way the floor is just 2 layers of dynamat the car is bagged on stock rims, matte black paint all over

so im able to find products at huge discounts and great deals, mainly because of a few websites i know about im not making a commission for posting this, am not being paid in any way, i just thought i would share some of my sites i use to find deals first one http://www.mpja.com/ they have great deals on random items including this one for a double action linear cylinder for 15 dollars http://www.mpja.com/Double-Action-3_4-Bore-Air-Cylinred/productinfo/19176+HD/ and i really dont want to share this one but i will anyways http://www.aliexpress.com/ that is a china direct website, order nearly anything direct from china from tv's to amplifiers, to clothing etc make sure you order from a verified supplier, if the deal is too good to be true, chances are its not a real deal

im also thinking of offering battery boxes and custom amp racks, and amp panels so that you can mount the amp upside down with the bottom plate removed and have an engraved lighted sheet of plexi over it

yes i could do kerfing, i just need to get a new bit for that i can cut full 4x8 sheets of wood, and plexiglass and engrave metal i ship them as "knockdown" basically all the parts are cut and ready for you, all you have to do is assemble them, and i label all the parts so you know what is what the differences between oak and birch are mainly cosmetic, oak is a harder wood and can change the dynamics of the box, and it flexes slightly less but mainly its cosmetic, oak will look better stained and varnished it costs me 45 a sheet of 3/4 inch birch, i have no idea on oak, i havent priced it yet mdf is like 25-35 depending on who has it in stock i wont charge more than i pay for the wood per sheet, just for the milling time and designing time, because i have to take your dimensions and convert them into instructions my machine can read

mounted the router and the end mill today ive also ordered a new controller board and i will be ordering a even better one later this week that will increase my accuracy drastically

yes, that will be one of my main offerings, i will even have 3 wood choices MDF = low Birch = mid oak = high

here is the home theater center channel. you could also just order 5 of these for a MTM design in every speaker all speakers will have rounded edges and include crossovers remember the beauty of having a cnc allows me to make anyone crazy custom stuff, including engravings, portraits, and custom ports imagine a port in the shape of anything

yes i know its a mp7, technically german, and an rpg, but its still the single most awesome picture ive seen in a long time

see this post is exactaly why i love this fourm over others like $MD or **** because people can say something and get corrected with a minimum amount of flame and hate. the vast amount of knowlage that people have is always expanding and with a minimum amout of hate you learn a a lot just by reading through posts. sorry for my shit spelling my tabley for some reason is not spellchecking

completely incorrect. mounting a tweeter close the mid has both its advantages and disadvantages. the same can be said for mounting the tweeter away from the mid. if you would like to discuss this topic post another thread. enlighten me ...did you even read the word "coaxial" ? I fully agree that its better to put tweeter and mid as close together as possible , but not low in a door ........... that just doesnt make sense to me the beauty of my pods is that they can be mounted wherever you want, low on the door, in the pillars. wherever you want them to be mounted, they are not direct bolt ons for any car, they are ment for people who want to DIY it a bit

my cnc will mainly cut wood and plexi, and ill be able to engrave metal, but not really cut it, i dont have a cooling system built in for cutting metal yet

The cost of a Zenon AB is much lower than D class. Most lower power monos will be AB because they are cheaper to manufacture really? wow i learn something new every day, i usually have only dealt with the lower power AB amps in the past, under 200w per channel, and their cost was higher than the comparable D class apms, 2 or 1 channel

i havent personally messed with the JL or ZED so i cannot pass opinion on them, the ones ive dealt with were in clients cars that they brought to me, one was a legacy, one was an rockwood, no not rockford, and another was an soundstorm and one was a coustic those were the ones i used and i hated them, as i said i was only passing judgement on the ones ive used

i meant in a sheer numbers game, i should have explained myself more if he is looking for power an AB amp is not the best way to go for a subwoofer, AB amps have higher fidelity yes, but the class D have more power, you will end up spending 4-5 times the cost on an AB amp to power a sub than you will on a similar class D

im not going to hate or bash not my style, just a few questions was caps lock required? if you think there is a 48 channel amp that is something i want to see, the most ive seen is a 6-8 channel and even those were crap you said that you did the fiberglassing, lets see pics to prove that your not just being a troll

considering that each speaker is 4 ohms, and the aplifier is at best 2 ohm stable, you will need probally 2-3 more amps, 2 more for the mids, and 1 for the subwoofer, its never a good idea to power a subwoofer off a CLass AB amp, Class D is usually the best for power or you could invest in a better quality amplifier like a sundows SAZ 200.4 or a pair of new Atomic 100.4's remember ohms law 4 + 4 in series = 8 ohms 4 + 4 in parallell =2 ohms

the center channel is MTM whereas the surrounds are MMT, i can do it as both if someone wants it that way

all of these parts will be cut out on a CNC, i should be up and cutting in about a week, so i will have some sample products up and ready by this time next week

got bored so i came up with a new logo

and here is some speaker mounts i have designed up, they will be cut from 3/4 inch mdf and will be countersunk to your speakers, just give me the outside diamater and how far you want it countersunk, up to 1/4 inch there is a 6.5 with a tweeter mount, a 6 inch and tweeter adapter for a 6x9 hole and a door panel for 4 6.5's

got some render of the home theater speaker i mentioned im trying to work on the price, but im looking at about 150ish per kit, or 175 fully assembled it uses 2 top of the line 6 inch woofers and a good tweeter with a 1st order butterworth crossover on the woofers and a 2nd order bessel on the tweeter, it has a slight peak around 2500hz but i think with tweaking i can get rid of that

so within the next week or so ill be buying a manufacturer section on the forum and i need opinions and suggestions for products to offer i have speaker rings with and without tweeter mounts pre fab boxes but optimized for certain subs knockdown home theater speaker boxes and whole kits door pods and custom panel engraving what else should i offer, remember that these will all be things i can cut out of my cnc i can cut wood, plexi and engrave metal

it wont let me edit the main post, but the main benifits of staining over a box covering like carpet or suede 1. if you start with a nice wood, you will have a nice finish 2. it brings out the natural beauty if the wood 3. it can look much nicer than carpet 4. carpet absorbs sound waves lowering Db's 5. the wood will last longer and repel water
