you too Jacob!

Nah I got room , just upgrading at the moment and it's a slow process There's always room and I get the slow. I'm a pussy about the cold (you can't use that as an excuse though haha).. December through February is colder than I like it and snowy here. I got an amp waiting to be paired with a new sub, but I know I won't do anything until March at least, and lack of cash doesn't help either. Maybe after xmas I'll suck it up and order wire for the big 3 (and install it before the end of January). heh I hear ya, doesn't get very cold in Tucson, AZ but sometimes I'm like "its just not worth it, not gonna freeze my ass off this morning" but then I'll work on it in the afternoon

i knew you would be in here sometime to say its not, im just saying it resemelbs something simliar sir. It doesn't though. Either way if your happy with it then that's all that matters. Digging the port area.

you pick. jk. it was originally more of "i-want-my-car-to-be-bangin" thing.. and then i realized.. "oh, sex, shweet." haha. Figured it was something along those lines Along which lines, good sir? Mis amigos all think of sex when they see it.. hmm.. ignorance? Along the lines of using the term "banging" or "waggin" etc for loud musical bass for the soul For the soul. No doubt. See what I've done here? I've increased my post count by 4 now! Now people will respect me more So you have a system in your car? Or one planned? I like pictures, pictures = FTMFW Vids work? paired with a 500/1 and I've since turned the box around (to reduce those rattles) Man I miss my bass.

ftw on xmas eve

I'm going dirt biking then showing up at families house for food

boom! boom! POW! It's almost christmas omg omg omg. What's everyone got planned?

Not sure if you know this or not but, Skar has a plan where they'll build a custom enclosure shipped with the subs at a discounted price... May want to look into it Here's a link to the thread: http://www.soundsolutionsaudio.com/forum/topic/45981-vvx12-single-12-ported-box-special-package/ (note: they say it's for one driver but if you want two then send them an email)

^Sounds about right, but I'd tune lower since you want this for movies as well. Say ~15-20hz range

Will do, I always like posting pictures up first so you have something to look at Thanks Pics are insanely HQ... What camera were those taken with? Nikon D200

Hello, when do you want to bang? Welcome to the forum, and most people here could care less about post count, except for Julian and Duran

Well, ~25% per cone could be a differnce once you start to multiply them. Sure it could all add up, but for the average consumer, having a 10" square driver vs a 10" circular driver, the difference would be less then 25% and likely not audible, tuning the enclosure / raising net volume would be more noticeable And were not even talking about the actual sd of the driver, this number varies from model to model. And by your standards of gaining more output the driver could just have more xmax and thus more displacement. But theirs a limit to everything and a point to where it's not worth it, everything has it's trade-offs I guess all in all, its just not worth it? I personally would never use a square driver, even if ssa made it, period.

I would have to disagree with that statement, in simple terms efficiency could be seen as the relationship between input (power being put in) and output (spl). Put 100watts into a 12" xcon and then 100watts into a 18" xcon. The 18" xcon is going to be louder (you could even use less power and it would likely be louder), thus it's more efficient then the 12".

Yeah, I see your point, but then that would be more money for the consumer, If the buyer could lets say only fit a 10, then basicly, from what your saying, and what the video is saying, the buyer would be more satisfied if he/she bought a square woofer? I know this can't be true because its the overall box, amp, aplication, and the overall subwoofer design, etc etc etc. But, I'm wondering, how come the manufacturers that we love here on SSA, don't produce square woofers. But I think you answered my question by talking about the linear and distortation. I guess that would have to be one the disadvantage of the square design. I wonder if anyone has taken the time to try it out though, like put as much effort into the square design, as they do with the round ones. (besides Kicker) Because maybe if FI, or SA, or SSA or whomever could take the time to develop a proper square woofer design, that would take care of those few flaws in the square design, then maybe they would produce a subwoofer that would have more output without haveing to get a bigger driver? IDK, just wondering. It's not worth it, the disadvantages outweigh it's advantage. The cone area increase isn't dramatic. And it may be very costly for companies like Fi, Sundown, SSA to try and manufacture square cones. As for costing more for the consumer, eh your not talking about a big price jump considering theirs a $20 difference between a 12" and 18" xcon.

Looks nice, next: tint the windows

X2, doesn't sound like anything is wrong with your 3500s but just that your remote wires are all fucked. I'd pull the headunit out, disconnect your remote turn on wires in the back. Run a new wire for the remote turn on to the back of your car, then either connect it to one amp and daisy chain it to the rest, or make a mini distro block for it. And here's some links about adding a delay in between your headunit and amps (Probably wanna do it another day so shit doesn't get confusing) http://www.crutchfield.com/S-g3TYPzhHNUZ/tech/kb327.html http://www.diymobileaudio.com/forum/how-articles-provided-our-members/2727-designing-your-own-delay-circuit.html Also PAC makes a product that has a built in delay, but I'm not sure if it'll work from the headunit, (it says it can use a low level power source for triggering, ie: speaker wire. but not sure if it'll work on +12v) http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_18693_PAC-TR-4.html?utm_source=froogle&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=froogle

This is simple terms and isn't accounting for actual cone displacement and surround widths, but 10" square sub would be 10x10=100square inches. 10" circular sub would be, radius^2(3.14)= 78.5square inches. So yes it does have some more cone area, but you could always have a 12" circular sub and it would have more cone area then both the previous drivers, so if you want more cone area get a bigger driver. The reason they aren't popular from what I've heard is they aren't very linear and distort at higher volumes. But I'll have to look more into this as I've never really looked into this.

Sounds like the remote wires for the 3500s came loose behind the headunit, but the one for the 100.4 is good. You shouldn't have any issues running wire from the 100.4 remote turn on to the 3500ds. But I would still check behind the headunit, as you don't want the wires to reconnect and short circuit if there not connected to anything and just laying on the ground
