  1. To set subsonic, download a test tone 5hz below your box's tuning, play it. Use it to determine the setting on the amp.
  2. Plans could change though in the coming weeks as I acquire and sell various vehicles. Who knows, it may turn into a wall build in a cheap older caravan.
  3. I have other cars to sell. This one will be the beater that never leaves. The guy I got this from swapped in a 1.6 sohc engine for whatever reason, and when I drove it last it wasn't as slow as every other POS like it. I'll enjoy driving it and looking like a jackass with some beats.
  4. Here's the shitbox in question. Flat tire and all. Don't be decieved, it runs and drives I just need to fix the passenger side front caliper and some other little odds and ends. I have been plagued with what to do with this thing for a while now and that's when a buddy and I came up with the idea for this build. And here's where the wall will be, directly behind the front seats. The rear is already stripped (behind all the shit and spare wheels/tires in there) so shouldn't be hard to seal up.
  5. They are cheap as hell, and shitty as well...but, like you know, no replacement for cone displacement. I'm hoping for high 140s, but, who knows. Honestly I don't care what it meters as it'll be fun to do. The car in question was free, so I have no qualms about doing something in it out of the ordinary.
  6. I'd rather have a speaker that isn't an odd dimension.
  7. Back speaker argument is just like has been said before. In a stock type setup all they do is provide rear fill/mid bass. In a properly setup stereo, there should be no speakers in the rear besides the subwoofers. And that's only because that's where they fit, in all honesty you can put a sub anywhere you damn well please as long as the enclosure is proper.
  8. Decided to do a stupidly cheap wall build in my festiva for shits and giggles. - 8-10 PW1074US super blues - audiopipe AP30001D - some cheap batteries - some cheap ass mids and tweeters. This build log thread will just be here to show it can be done. The build will start within the next few weeks if not months when I get off my lazy ass. Until then, tune in for the next build log which will be for another member on here, shakes.
  9. Completely redesigned the box. Double baffled and window braced This ought to be fun! top is just translucent to show inside.
  10. Rap

    No mention of spice1, yuk, etc? cmon now.
  11. He gives himself shit by being a lazy ass and not reading. Every thread, every post, I offer some help and get a stupid response that is mistyped and all reactionary. I've asked him multiple times to re-read his own posts before hitting send, search, and follow the T&C's. Instead we get crap over and over again. I am really an EASY person to get to help you. You just have to try a little bit. He fails at trying and regularly lies, misleads, and makes it tough to understand him by typing like crap. Yeah I went into that in some other post in this thread on his lack of researching beforehand.
  12. Please stop. I beg you. From what you just said you didn't build shit. Yuo transferred some sort of amplifier into a new housing. What is wrong with you?
  13. You built a home-made amp eh? Specs and pics? I'm intrigued!
  14. Do your ears face backwards or forwards?
  15. Like I said, once again, you ignore the fact that you can research this via other resources than just this site.
  16. That's exactly the problem. When people give you advice, and explanation regarding said advice, you ignore it or simply refuse to believe it. Believe it or not but when someone says something you can take the initiative and go and research it yourself. There are plenty of resources on the net to do so.
  17. This thread makes me want to shoot myself. I now know why m5 gives you so much shit.
  18. If you knew what you were doing you'd know you don't want to be able to "hear" your rears.
  19. I sell a solution to people that have problems.
  20. Another good luck on that one.
  21. Yeah good luck with that. All that ebay auction includes is a shitty turbo. You'll need two manifolds, cross over, waste gate, injectors, cold side piping, couplers, clamps, some way to control fueling once you increase injector sizing, larger fuel pump, etc. I also believe that engine is speed density, if not you'll need a bigger MAF most likely otherwise you risk pegging it and going lean. Figure in spending around 4-5k to do it...and THEN some. Looked at the auction some more: That turbo is far too small. It has a T3 exhaust housing with an A/R of .64. You'll literally be choking that engine. If you did get it to run and produce boost, there'd be so much backpressure on the exhaust side you'd detonate almost immediately and crack a ring land or piston.
  22. In the pictures of the box, I notice the wood splitting. Take note: http://img4.imageshack.us/img4/5154/0118090001b.jpg
  23. At least he responds to you.
