That's what I thought also, but doesn't efficiency have something to do with overall SPL? The Arsenal 12's are rated at roughly 87db and the SSD is a little over 89db. I didn't know if that would be a large difference. Of course I don't know how to factor the increased port area of the larger box as it relates to increase in SPL. I'd hate to spend $500.00 and build a new box if we weren't going to see a fairly large jump in wangage. Thanks for helping educate me. Thoughts? Efficiency is a really interesting #. Install is everything. A well built enclosure can be night and day from an ok built enclosure. I would consider your goals. Will 18" SSD's get louder than 12" AA arsenals. It's like adding 2 more 12" subs to your current set-up. It's a theoretical instant 3dB gain, or about ~33% louder because our hearing is logarithmic. I agree that cone area wise, 226 sq in now and 508 sq in with the 18's will be more than doubling the effective cone area. The SSD's have 3 mm more stroke, so I'll have more swept voulme also. Port area should increase substantially (I have no idea how much) which should help also. Lastly 2 dB in efficiency will also help the cause. do you think 3dB is a little conservative? Secondly, a well built enclosure is a must, I agree. The box I built for his current subs were from plans that Chad at AA sent me. I'd need that kind of direction with this project also. Yes, my 3dB estimate was conservative.

Maybe someone will have to talk to Jacob and see who he knows over there... lol. I know Jacob has connections *hint Jacob, suggest it to your guys over there* lol.

www.pcmforless.com 250+ shipping for a tune Have to send in my PCM (Down time) to avoid crank relearn If I don't send in my PCM I have to do crank relearn when I get it back ($50 probably) $50 for future tuning upgrades ehhh There should be plenty of tuners down there for ls based truck motors. I'm surprised you have only found too. Have you looked into companies like Texas-Speed? http://www.texas-speed.com/shop/item.asp?i...=79&catid=4 They are in Wolfforth Texas.

IF YOU TRY THIS: -Keep the volume and gains low. A sub will move a lot more free air than it will in a box, therefore it is much more prone to mechanical failure. -Keep the bottom of the motor off of something if it has a vent. -Don't put it near other electrical devices such as a tv, it has a ton of magnet force and can permanently damage a TV. -Keep the soft parts of the sub clear from any debris and make sure nothing gets on the former/voice coil. A good demonstration of free air playing can be found here: It is one of my old set-ups. You can actually hear a noise in that video from the air getting trapped in the pole vent because the bottom of the sub wasn't clear. I also wired my subs up to 4 ohms for that video, and turned the gains down and as you can see they still moved quite a bit.

that would be sweet! You would need to get a rep of some sort interested enough to talk to Aaron and Mark.

They already been ordered! It normally takes about a week for me, I'm on the east coast. If your in cali, I would expect ~7-9 business days. I hope that helps. (Actually I used to order mine on Friday and have them on a wed/thursday) I'm in NY to give you an idea of shipping distance.

-I would only use 1 Legatia set-up. It has been mentioned before in this thread so I won't get into the issues of running multiple sets. -I don't see a major difference in output between 2 12" Icons on ~1000 watts rms a piece and 3 10" Icons on 1000 watts rms. The 10's would have more cone area, but are slightly less efficient. All in all it comes down to space, and seeing your want for a lower tuned enclosure I would probably suggest the 12"s because they are slightly more efficient. But either route will yield very similar results in a properly built enclosure. - Why buy 2 Sax-100.2's? You could always grab a 100.4 and save on amp space. In any regards the term LSQ is simply a bad one. Any sound quality system (excluding exotic transducer designs) I have ever seen, the most toned down part of the audible spectrum is tweets and subs. You should have more than enough output with either sub option, remember that headroom is a good thing and the limiting factor on spl is the enclosure, almost every sub-woofer can get louder than necessary, it's all in the install.

hop is hopping, sort of. A lot of us in here, no one spamming. orange, blue, yellow, orange, green, orange, orange, orange, orange.

sounds like an air leak to me.

Sundown Sae-1000d would be my suggestion.

Going to pick up my Sesame Chicken. What do you guys think of the bash plate amps?

Nice job on them. And the box. I'm not fond of curving ply. Tried it once but it broke, so I switched to mdf. I can curve mdf too, I was cutting in my room, so I didn't want to deal with the dust. My carpeting job was iffy, my first time using carpet on a box.

Sometimes I wish I owned my own home, but school is more important at this stage in the game.

What about running the AA Assassin mk1 isobaric and ported?

My first time playing with kerfs:

wow! I was 18 and in Vermont. I was staying with a friend during the end of my senior year (week before graduation, no classes. So he decided that he wanted to go for a cruise on the bikes. 2 gsxr 1000's. My second or third time on a bike, never anything this powerful. I am a bigger guy though, normally I have no trouble keeping the nose down. So we are cruising through the mountains, gradually going faster and faster through turns and stuff as I got more comfortable with the bike. Finally Steve takes off, really getting on it coming out of turns, so I follow suit but I can't keep up with him. I wasn't taking it easy or anything, just not as experienced. I was getting the nose up coming out of turns, but I couldn't seem to catch up. About 3 miles later I start coming up on a bike fast, than I see the lights and I'm like oh-shit. I caught up to a cop. I didn't even have a motorcycle permit yet. He pulls me over. I hand him my wallet. He starts asking me about prom and than he asked me where I went to high school. All the while I'm freaking out. Finally he turns to me and says that I have until the count of 10 to be out of his sight, if I'm not gone he's going to have to arrest me for reckless endangerment. He hadn't gotten me on radar but he knew I was flying. I have never to this day ridden as fast as I did going back to Steve's house that day. how fast is fast Seeing as it was in mountains and there weren't a ton of straightaways, I think I hit 130ish, but it was the cornering that I was considering fast.

2.2 cubic feet tuned to 30hz. Sundown Audio SD-1 12" 8 ohm svc. Box is 3/4" birch, 4" aero port.

8 inches. Small subs, lol. I think the TC sounds OEM's are taller. *hey if you still have yours, i'll take them, lol.* Most of theirs is basket depth I have an SVC 4 ohm here... and a friend of mine has one as well. I think I will stick with your "interesting" nightshades for my next Street A build.

Uploading pics of my Sundown Audio SD-1 12" sub/box, I just built it for a friend for his room.

That's because too many people drink noob-sauce.
