omg omg, is this a place for everyone to list all the stuff their going to buy?

"crossed at" is the same as saying the filter is set to xxx. A Low pass filter attenuates frequencies above the set frequency. So setting your LPF at 80hz would lower the signal of midbass and highs being sent to the subwoofer. It's not a cutoff but a slope (hence the reason you hear 12db slope, 24db slope etc)

What speakers is this amp powering? sub stage? If so I'd set the LPF anywhere from around 60hz-80hz. Do you have mids on an amplifier? If so what are they crossed at?

ah I still think what I'm saying can work if done right Doesn't matter for the OP though.

Its hardly smaller. Maybe 1.5" shorter 1.5" can be a lot I was just carrying around my older model 1500 and it seemed pretty large, maybe the pic. and large trunk makes the amp look even smaller specs of box? x2, especially when using more then one in my case.

why on top? Cause more is always better?

I hear ya, but when I take my jeep into a shop who knows what they do

I will have to give it a try. A dark lager I REALLY like is Negro Modelo. Yum, Yum. I drink the Negro Modelo's often when I am out having dinner at a restaurant. http://www.yucatangrill.com/ If you are ever in Seal Beach, stop by this place. Good food and good people. I love it paired with Mexican food, lime and salted. I am usaully in that area once or twice a yr, I will have to try and remember it. Hit me up when / if you are in the area, we could have a drink or 12. or 12

wait for it....lol That how i read it. The whole thing is: your setting the gain on your substage amp to your max listening volume. Whether your max listening volume is 3/4 the way up on your head unit or it's 35/35 on your head unit it's immaterial. If all your speakers are on amps and aren't relying on head unit power then it's possible to turn your headunit to 35/35 and set your mids/highs amp's gains accordingly. Trying to say that 35/35 on your head unit sends a clipped signal to your amps is wrong, everything is relative. Depending on the amp's gain, the amp will / will not clip the signal. Try this: plug your ipod into your head unit using an aux cable, now turn the volume way down on the ipod and turn the volume on the head unit up to it's max volume, sounds fine doesn't it? So either way works, personally I set everything up within a couple clicks of my head units max volume that way you have some headroom depending on the songs recording level and if someone else is driving my car they can't turn the volume up any louder and ruin my equipment. Just my take,

yeah Wish it'd snow more and could actually go ski or snowboard.

No lol. Some of the jeep videos were from a flip. The dirt bike videos are from a contourHD

You could match the gain on the amp(s) so your head unit would play loudest without distortion at it's max volume. Assuming all speakers are being ran off amps and not head unit power. right? Clipping is a signal...when the headunit sends a clipped signal from the RCA's your amp amplifies it. So if you turn it up to 35 out of 35 and only have like 1/4 of the gain up thats still a clipped signal. Hmm I don't know about that. M5, Imp?

You could always try a ported box for your solos before doing a new substage?

Turn your head unit volume up to the max you listen to it (without distortion) then turn the gain up on the sub amp until it clips then back it off till it's clean again

Looking good so far

Damn, I figured San Antonio would have plenty of land for trails. Most of the stuff I ride is either state land or old mining land / ranchers that don't care. 16hrs, big looong Texas

Great observation, you should work for border patrol? It's a wide angle lens rotated 90 degrees so you can actually see the bike and the trail...

Yeah it's fun, If you live in LA you'd probably have to drive pretty far to ride unless you did motocross

For those that don't know, I live in Tucson AZ. During the summer it's about 100-115 and 30s-50s in winter. And it's a Desert, and it snowed here dun dun dun! watch in 1080p ftmfw

All your doing is matching an input voltage with an adjustable knob (gain) to get full power at xxx volume without clipping. Whether you have your gain at 1/10 and max volume at 35/35 or gain at 10/10 and max volume at 10/35, output should be the same. (numbers are made up, but you get the idea)

I've used these in the past and worked fine, although I didn't find them in bulk like that. Good find

You could match the gain on the amp(s) so your head unit would play loudest without distortion at it's max volume. Assuming all speakers are being ran off amps and not head unit power. right? but then volume might be too low at normal listening volume? not sure if that is the reasoning for most tutorials suggestions 3/4 volume when adjusting gains.... I could be wrong though.. When using head unit power you can typically turn the volume up 3/4 of the way to max before it starts to distort, but what I'm saying is when your using an external amplifier for all your speakers then your no longer relying on your head units power. So you could set all your amp gains accordingly with the head unit at max volume. It would theoretically work and I don't see any reason it would not, but I don't have an amp for my mids and highs yet so I haven't tried it.

10" in an optimal box will kill a 12" in a box too small Thanks for the quick reply. I'm still not sure I could even fit the 12" small ported through the trunk opening. Cardboard mock-up still leaves me unsure. Going with the 10" will make my life a lot easier anyway. I'd still be able to get to my spare without to much trouble. If SPL is a big concern I would try to mock up a 12 in optimal ported cf with an external aero port.External port means that you do not subtract port volume in the enclosure design therefor making the enclosure smaller Bigger
