  1. If it's a Beta or Gamma unit I think there is a way. I know for sure I found the RCA front and rear outputs on the rear plane and built a plug. Is this something marked on the unti? I have not pulled it out yet. http://www.pac-audio.com/productSearch.aspx?Make=Volkswagen&MakeId=34&Model=Beetle&ModelId=1594&Year=2006&YearId=17 Pick ur pickle. If they don't make it no one does.
  2. Where in Sevierville are you located? I frequent the area quite a bit. I have a couple cabins in Gatlinburg. This 0 gauge will be plenty good enough for you. RCA's and what not can be found here as well http://www.knukonceptz.com/productDetail.cfm?prodID=KCA-PK0 I would talk to Tricia at IA (number is on their site) and see if they have any B stock 20.1's for sale. (they still come with full warranty) The DR's are beefy drivers.
  3. Get urself a Fukuda Jig Tool for those rectangle/square holes. You'll thank me later.
  4. UPDATE 8/22/13 Talked with Pat again today. He is still running a bit behind schedule. He is expected to go to Korea at the end of next week so he is saying everything will be done before he goes. I am happy with preliminary results enough that I have given the go ahead on assembly. Any changes on parameters if any will only change "optimal" box specs (optimal meaning relatively flat response with lowest possible roll off) a minute amount. A hertz or so in tuning or + or - .2 cubic feet. The drivers will still work well in the recommended enclosures which are 1.25-2 feet for the 12 and 2.5-3.5 for the 15 both tuned 32-36 hertz. As of today I have 59 drivers still available for purchase. The next batch of drivers are not expected in until the end of Feb. 2014 Pre order ($50 off) will remain open until all of Pat's results are in.
  5. It's always best to physically weigh the soft parts or "half mass". Which is Cone with half of the edge cut off Half of the spider and leads (cut half way between OD and coil OD Dustcap All glue assembling the parts (cap to body (cone), body to coil, spider to coil) Just a guesstimate from experience: Coil= 150grams Body and edge (cone & surround)= 100grams Spiders and leads (4spiders total)= 50grams Cap=15 grams Glue=40 grams So Mmd should be closer to 350-375 grams. With the air load the Mms should be in the 375-400 neighborhood. I'd remeasure the piston area, retest and see what happens.
  6. Piston diameter is from surround apex to apex. Maybe you measured to the outside of the surround? Qms is high Sensitivity looks like a 2 volt rating not 1w MMS is low (the Added mass method isn't accurate on large drivers). Should be closer to 450 grams. If you click the print preview you can see the BL product listed.
  7. The enclosure acts as a spring. The larger the box is, the less hold the spring has on the subwoofer. It allows the subwoofer to move with less power.
  8. Yea
  9. Chuffing = the noise produced when blowing hard through a straw. Not a whistle but being able to hear the air flowing. Yes creates a hollow echo like sound Yes, increase in bass
  10. Normally a boost in response around tuning. port area too small = chuffing. port area too big = tunneling effect. port extremely too big= sub unloading (port area bigger than the sub itself)
  11. I prefer their smoke/black lenses. They have a more natural color pallets than their other color lenses. My current pair are Stone Crusher with black polarized polycarbonate lenses. I use them for work on a daily basis. The ole lady uses Maui Jim prescription sunglasses also.
  12. Best stuff ever to hit the counter was Androstat850. Too bad FDA pulled it. Guess it caused too many liver failures.
  13. Ford didn't take money on this bail out but they did swindle about 23,000,000 people over bad transmissions.
  14. Underrapps until it is finished. I have a bad habit of not finishing my personal vehicles so in employing a local shop to do most of the work.
  15. That show is complete horseshit. My dad grew up with Sheri and her son is the same age as I am. They are no where near that redneck and come from a well off family.
  16. The NES is pimpin. I have an Atari with about 20 games that I'm going to be installing in a demo vehicle. Install is gonna be ole school done up in tweed.
  17. Just about every EQ I've installed besides Rane has introduced noise into the system. Would it not be cost affective to purchase a pioneer and sell your current head unit?
  18. The only test I did for my life insurance policy was a DNA swab.
  19. Sitting waiting. Of course the boat would be 2 1/2 hrs late. Could have gotten another 2 hrs sleep.
  20. Don't feel so bad. I'm on the way to work now and won't get off until around midnight tomorrow night
  21. You need to build a closed rear chambered bandpass and port it thru the ski hole
  22. catfish fillet stuffed with crab and shrimp boudin, homemade baked potato soup, cauliflower and carrot casserole bake, bread pudding with rum sauce
  23. May get to work a 24 tomorrow.
  24. ALL veggies should be slow cooked in onions, garlic, and pork jowls.
  25. This company produces a lot of stuff that are local favorites in the New Orleans area and they have a online store. The link below are marinades with the injectors (they sell with out also). One jar is large enough to marinate a whole turkey. We normally use "Creole Butter" for poultry but the "turkey marinade" is good as well. For meats just depends on what you are looking for. Inject and poor the rest over the meat in a container (we have large vacuum containers we marinate in). marinate for 24 hrs before cooking. For your brisket and roasts let them set after cooking until internal temp drops down to about 150 degrees. This will let the meat relax and will reabsorb juices. http://www.brucefoods.com/cajun-injector/cajun-injector-marinades-with-injector.html?limit=72 also comes in gallons http://www.brucefoods.com/cajun-injector/cajun-injector-creole-butter-plastic-jug-1-gal.html NOTE. Marinades are heavy on particulates so if you don't purchase with the injector make sure you have an injector with large openings. Everyone knows about Tabasco sauce but most professional chefs down here use Louisiana Gold. http://www.brucefoods.com/louisiana-gold.html For smaller slow cooks for just me and the ole lady I use something like this. Mine is of course homemade. http://www.brucefoods.com/cajun-injector/cajun-injector-large-cajun-microwave.html
