Tenacious

Bump

I think I found a good routine to follow for 2-3 months, it's focused mainly on arms but incorporates the rest of the body as well. I'm going to cut out running on lifting days and run twice a week, for a total of 3 days of lifting and 2 days of cardio. I'll start bringing my protein shakes with me to the gym too since it's a 20 minute drive from home. I already use a straight bar or dumbbells for most workouts, except I generally use a machine for tricep/lat pulldowns.

Still here. Help fund my Tahoe

I'm looking to change up my workout soon, going up 5 pounds per workout isn't happening. Any suggestions? I'm focusing mainly on upper body but want one leg day a week on top of running, too.

Nope, trying to scrounge up the money to buy a Tahoe or I would be keeping this.

This was going to be my suggestion. PPI makes nice budget amps.

If you're wanting to play that low, moving up to about 2.4 cubes sealed may benefit you. You would probably see more efficiency from 6 cubes ported, but you may start to lose some high and/or low end response. For what it's worth, I know someone who did a forward firing 4th order with 2 SA-12s in a Tahoe. He used 2 cubes for the sealed chamber and had around a 4:1 ratio. It played flat within 2dB from 25-60Hz and was doing very respectable numbers when measured with a TermLab.

the ratio business is also BS. what are you trying to achieve? The ratio business is actually not BS. Changing the ported size affects the response greatly, with higher ratios generally having a more peaky output and lower ratios generally having a wider, flatter response.

SAs are very 4th order bandpass friendly. It can't hurt to try if you already have the subs - and if you don't like the output you can always go with the two 15s. They do well with around 1 cube sealed and anywhere from 2-3 cubes ported each, and port area should be around half of your total cone area. This puts your sealed resonance around 45-47, and tuning the ported section to that number yields good results.

Lol, good luck. If this one sells I have a second one with the newer spiders and surround that I just reconed, I didn't want to sell them together because of the slight differences.

I also have a second one that I just reconed, once I solder the leads it will be good as new.

I'll get you a quote when I get on my laptop later today.

Thanks man. I'd be keeping this monster but I don't have any need for a 12 once I get an SUV

I've recently started working out again to try and get back in shape. I'm not really "out of shape" but could benefit from gaining some muscle and getting back to where I used to be cardio-wise. A little background: I ran cross country my junior and senior year of high school and track my senior year. I haven't ran since until this past month I also worked out heavily the second semester of my senior year. This was at the close of cross country season - 6'0 and 155. I've never had a lot of body fat but I was at a ridiculously low percentage at this point. I started the semester with my bench press and power clean 1RM at 135 and ended with 170 on bench and 190 on power clean. Most of my working out was during track season so I avoided working out legs due to track practice - my squat 1RM stayed at 250. This was with a terrible diet and no supplementation other than a protein shake about once per 3 workouts. I ended the semester weighing around 160-165 but added a decent amount of muscle (and a leg injury from track). Now: Now I stay between about 165-170 after freshman year of college. I worked out maybe 5 times during the school year... but I've recently got a membership at Anytime Fitness and go 2-3 times a week and also run with my "not girlfriend" twice a week. I've dropped quite a lot of strength and endurance, but it's getting better quickly. I've already got back to the point where my 5RM for both bench and power clean are 135 and my squat 5RM is 220. I'm currently doing Rippetoe's Starting Strength program but with some slight modifications. For most lifts, I do 5-8 reps with the same weight for all 3 sets and do something that feels really heavy and I'm nearly failing by the third set. For bench and squat, I do 5 reps and generally go up 5-10 pounds per set and go until failure on the last set. I usually finish up every workout with a bicep curl/tricep extension superset - 3 sets of 8 each - and then a 1 mile run on the treadmill. Anytime doesn't have a good area to do power cleans, so I've had to remove them. As far as the diet goes, I eat pretty much whatever I want, but I try my best to avoid sugary drinks and junk food. I should probably cut back a little more of the junk, though. Most mornings I eat a bowl of high protein cereal and milk. Lunch and dinner depend on what my family eats. I'm taking vitacost's knock off of Opti-Men 2-3 times daily as I remember, 1000mg of fish oil 2 times daily, and 2250mg of creatine once daily. Most days after working out I'll drink a protein shake with about 1.5 scoops of TrueNutrition's Hydrolyzed Whey. I need to get back in the habit of making a shake with a scoop of casein every night before bed, too. If you guys have any questions, comments, encouragements, or especially suggestions, feel free to post.

There's a show in Lebanon this Sunday

The Tahoe is coming for you soon.. Better watch out!

Tuning all depends on your taste in music. I would probably drop down to at least 15-16 cubes just so I wouldn't be as worried about mechanical limits, although you'd probably be fine. I personally like being tuned around 30-32, but that's just me... unless you're listening to a lot of slowed songs/dubstep with really low bass, there's no reason to tune any lower than you already are. But wait a second.. how do you have 3 common port walls? It says your port is 36w, but the box is 44w...

I see those bright RCAs

Irregular screws and screw caps to hide their identity. Window tint helps, too. Depending on your location, your listening habits near home may play a large role, too.

Sounds like your PCM regulator is going out. The same thing happened to my car (04 Taurus) and I had an internal regulator added to the alternator to bypass it. Sadly, there's no way to get rid of the check charging system notification that I know of.

Should be nice and quiet.

I don't support anyone who supports the race to zero. Also I personally know two people who had issues with CT amps and customer service was terrible. Kevin Schlenker v2.
