  1. Pm me your email and I can send you the 3d sketch up and you can get all of the deminsions from the model.
  2. It's a hair under 1.25. Larger volume creates a little more output. You wouldn't hear any difference in sound quality.
  3. This is per your max deminsions and is a very tight fit but I doubt you would hear any audible difference. I assumed this is a single cab truck. Sub behind driver seat with port firing toward driver side (this is best for loading)
  4. Run a highs amp with power and RCA on the same side on a vehicle with a distributor and see what it'll get you.
  5. Yay, another one who has no regaurd for the law, hasn't been taught the moral about having respect for others around him. I give you two big thumbs up.
  6. I would build the enclosure 1.75 cubic feet net tuned to 32 hertz. This will give you a 3db ripple (boost) at 35 herts and give you a F3 (-3db) at 26 hertz. This will give you the sense of exaggerated bass output. You can go smaller down to 1.25 feet but keep tuning at 32hz and do not go over 1.75 feet as group delay would be higher than desireble.
  7. Spend ten years in the field. Work with the top manufactures in the field along with people like mark Fukuda, and Brian smchitt. Read and comprehend the actual papers written by Thiele, small, Dickason, weeks, Leach, Vanderkooy, Polk, and Campbell. And still realize, that when you talk to someone like Enrique Stilles for an hour about why never to use a aluminum faraday ring outside a coil and not understand a word he said, that you still don't know but about 1% of what it takes to Truely understand audio.
  8. The property she bought is in a really rural area although nice property. My property is 140 acres and the parish values it at about 17.5 k an acre. I am still in a rural area (Walmart is about a 30min driver) however it is a nicer area with horse and polo farms around. The area is zoned that property can not be broken down into anything less than 5 acres. So if you have 9 acres and you want to sell just a piece, tough shit, you gotta sell all or non of it. My neighbors are the likes of the Copeland's, the Hunts (Texas oil Mongols), and The Bensons (N.O. Saints owners), the Freeman's (owned New Orleans coca cola bottling company). Very nice area with not a lot of Yahoos to deal with.
  9. Nope
  10. Only looked at the first couple but that's some raggedy ass houses. Better be a premium location for those prices. Brand new houses around me go for $100 a foot with granite counter tops, solid wood cabinets, solid hardwood floors, ect. My mom just bought 175 acres that has a 17 acre lake with about 1/4 mile of river front property for about 300 grand.
  11. I'm mobile at the moment and I would have to model it. Seems like you are trying to get as much loudness as possible? If so I would design a box with a 3db ripple in the frequency response in the mid 30's. ill take a look at it later tonight.
  12. No software is gonna be any help at all if you don't know what you are doing. Buy a copy of loudspeaker cookbook and learn why what to do and you'll end up be much more helpful to your customers.
  13. Stick it in the ash tray or glove box. Whenever you need to run or demo just give it a twist.
  14. What will fit will greatly depend on the year truck and the installation skills of the builder.
  15. The gain on the amp is to match the amps voltage input with the output of the headunit. The rms rating on the amp is rated based on the power that the rails on the amp can generate. When you crank the gain too much it causes the amp can not keep up causing the output signal to be destorted. Almost all subs are rated at 70%BL which relates to 20 percent distortion. And if you are running a high xmax sub like 30mm or so you are actually getting into the 40-50% distortion realm as nearly all 8 inch spiders being used today hit 20% distortion at around 18mm. For reference 20% distortion is what is considered becoming audible. However most people have these high xmax subs and never complain about any audible noise which can be clearly be seen by having the driver tested on a Klippel analyzer. What does this mean? It means that most people's consent of distortion greatly veary and what a lot of engineers will tell you that distortion can actually be a good thing. In fact distortion is a tually purposely induced in some drivers, for example guitar amps. Where I am going with this is, you would have to seriously clip a sub into distortion to have it audible. More than likely you are just driving the sub past its mechanical limits which is directly related to power which will change greatly depending on the enclosure volume and tuning.
  16. Ur car cable throttle right? Just steal a throttle control off of one of those 18 wheelers.
  17. Would have been a WHOLE lot easier to just put a disc brake on the driveshaft.
  18. I hope you compensated for bed liner thickness.
  19. I was thinking navy blue or silver. What do you think?
  20. They forgot to tell you the salary is in Yen and not Euro's.
