The package was sent to my old address

Damn I want to hear this when it is done!

I would love to see you guys build a 6.5" that will out perform my DIYCable EX-6.5! I am not so much looking for good midrange extension rather a hardcore 6.5" midbass!

I asked him when mine are shipping

Incorrect! One battery is a load. Additional batteries wired in parallel are additional loads, period. The amount of load is dependent on the battery(s) quality and condition.

Here is a diagram that may help you I run a positive and negative from battery to battery. Each battery is also grounded at the frame. A battery does add an extra load to an alternator when the battery(s) needs a charge. Depending on your system demands, from my experience dual runs of 1/0 +&- from battery to battery is worthwhile. Two batteries wired in parallel can discharge much more amperage than what a single run of 1/0 +&- or a 300a fuse can handle. Just a thought.

Lolz fun stuff

If pouring resin inside an enclosure isn't for strength than what is for?

This should be pinned.

thanks! keep an eye out for my next comparison test! The next one will be using sound deadeners, say about 3-5different brands, and 22 gauge steel lol! (this one might not work out but keep an eye out) Excellent. I have a sample of DC Power 1/0 on its way to my house. Do you want me to send you a piece? Hey man I would love a piece! check your p/m's It's on! Remember it is DC Power Inc. wire not XS Power

Excellent review!!!! Thank you!!!

Has there been definitive testing performed that compared the difference of an enclosure with this product and one without? If so will you post a link or graph? Thanks! I planned on using accoustical foam but this maybe another option.

If you have an air compressor then there's a whole slew of different sanders you can get, and they'll make life way easier. If not, you can look into the electrical orbital sanders, most are around 4"-5", they use either PSA pressure sensitive adhesive pads or a hook and loop setup. So whichever orbital sander you get, make sure you get the right pad types to match. I just bought a dewalt off amazon and they listed an assorted box of pads to go along with it, I just assumed they were the correct type. I ended up with a psa type sander and a box of hook and loop pads. Fortunately I was able to just spray the sander pad with 3m adhesive and stick the hook and loop pad (sanding disc) right on. Hope someone can learn from my mistakes Good tips bro. I am surprised Amazon pulled a fast one on you. I do not have a compressor. It is going to be a while until I have the funds for the compressor that I want. I may look into an electric sander or just stick with the old fashion way.

Good idea stefanhinote.

Since the drivers are not emitting audible mechanical distortion or attenuated sound during normal playback I think your drivers are fine. Often a bad ground or ground loop will be recognizable in higher frequencies. Ground loops issues were common back in the day when equipment was inferior to todays equipment. Manufacturers still recommend grounding your hu at the battery. Ground loops exist when multiple grounding locations are used on equipment within the signal path. Like I said newer equipment are mostly immune to this problem. Adjust your gains properly. Route your hu ground to the battery. Ultimitley all grounds should lead to the battery or at a point on the frame that is grounded to the battery. Do you know if your RCA's have a drain wire? If so one end will have the drain soldered to it. This end should be connect to the signal source. With that copper wire grounded to the RCA connections on the hu having the RCA's connected properly could be more of a priority than if the hu wasn't wired that way. If your drivers are passive with an outboard crossover you could be getting noise through your crossover depending on where the crossover is mounted. You should have both batteries connected with + and - wires parallel with or without relay or solenoid depending on batteries used. Lots of things to consider. Good luck!

That was what I was going to buy but that stuff is $$$$ I used a local store, Coulors brand. It works great as an easy to sand filler. I was using an old 180 grit paper that I had laing around That was 90% of the issue.

I can never get enough of these. I am a huge motorcycle and photography nut. Here is one of my favorites.

I am not sure if the cooling option adds a pole vent. If it does than I would say that you do not have adequate mounting depth for a driver with a pole vent.

Wow man that second photo is badass! The first photo is depressing since it is the effect of air pollution and mankinds ignorant ability to destroy all things good

Well said. Only other area I'd look is the RCAs. Bad RCAs tend to make funny noises. Good luck, let us know what turns out to be the culprit. If it was an RCA issue the noise would be present regardless of hu level or gain position.

This could be a hu issue assuming your amp is 2ohm stable and the install is correct. Since this happens at level 30 or higher I would adjust the gain on the amplifier that level 28 on the hu is max. Is the noise gone? If the problem is still there I would say it is the amp or ground loop. Speakers do not emmit noises on their own. Unless it was a mechanical noise which this isn't. So repacing the speakers will not remedy the issue.

Thanks sefugi! I need to touch up a couple areas yet then primer/paint. I am very anxious to start on the door pods. After doing these small tweeter pods I know I will need alot of sandpaper

Thanks man. That was definitely more sanding than I like to do! Thanks! You would of had to hang them off the side of the panel slightly. Your stock dash speaker location would be sweet for a nice midrange tweeter pod.
