Bad Ass Serious Sub now that's funny!

Either he left his browser window open or business isn't doing so well and he has nothing better to do than refresh

Lots of very cool pictures man! very nice work!

watch the "throwing cheap car batteries in the back" you can kill yourself.

not only that...inverted

Not my "build log" but entertaining nonetheless http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w5oSQcs8HgQ...feature=related

That's gonna look sweet!

4 cubes should be possible, the taurus like that has a fold-down back seat which should help you get the box back there in the first place. Building the box in the trunk sucks, haha.

As long as you are smart, I'd encourage that sort of headroom. Yummy. If you are dumb, kiss your subs goodbye. Well, I'm not dumb. I agree with the desire for that kind of headroom, but it needs to be done with care. I just never understood why people talked about "underpowering" a sub or amp. Undervoltage, yes, but not underpowering. Thanks guys!

Ok, lets say I was to upgrade amps with plans of upgrading subs in the future. But my current subs will only take the amp with the gains at...say 20%, would that hurt it?

little off topic, but what flakko said about every time you turn the volume down, it would have the same effect. What about with an amp? you hear about "underpower" but does that really mean to keep the amp at RMS all the time? it's not making sense.

agreed. When I was applying for product lines for my business, the guy at Power Acoustik told me I needed to be MECP certified before they would accept me. So I got the book, and seriously..it's a joke. What's even funnier though...Atomic didn't even ask if I was MECP certified

the basic installer book is a joke

I have used Audacity for recording some of my guitar stuff. It's not "professional" by any means, but it's extremely easy to use and the sound quality isn't as bad as you would think. You can get cable adapters and plug her keyboard straight into the mic port on your computer. I did all my recording with a mic and had a lot of fun doing it. I've been using fruity loops a little bit, very fun program if you are seriously interested in mixing and such...but I wouldn't just use it as a "tinkering around recording fun" kind of program.

Buddy of mine bought a DD9515 and had it reconed to an 18. He brought it over and we spent a couple days building the box for him. Carpet needs to be laid, but I don't think he's worried about it right now. he set a car alarm off from almost a half block away. enjoy

alright, thanks!

Just for example...I want to run 4 subs off a monoblock amp with 2 channels of amplification. If I run 2 subs wired in series to get my desired ohm load. Say I'm putting out 500 watts to one channel of power, do both subs see 500 watts? or is it changed a little?

Paul Van Dyk is pretty cool. I'm a big fan of "Crush", "Ready Steady Go", "Forbidden Fruit", "Nothing but You", and "For an Angel" George Acosta has a cool song called "Angels fall first" that might be worth looking into *edit to add* If anyone can find the original mix of "without you" by Nathan Profitt, please get ahold me of another...I can't seem to find the Gigi D'Agostino remix of "popcorn" it's the track from this video

Thanks for the compliments guys! to anybody that doesn't like it...I'm sorry I've disappointed you. I don't like a solid MDF downfire box for one reason....YOU CAN'T SEE THE SUB! so I'm going to rebuild it very similar, but add a little more size to it, i can add 2 inches of height on it...that should help a little. Basically, I am going to build the top out of fiberglass so you can look down inside and see the basket of the sub so this box is done until I find someone that wants it.

A lot of people tune lower, but I decided to tune it a little higher to make it sound more well-rounded for when I'm listening to rock. the box I was showing earlier is tuned to 40, the one we just built for my friends truck is also 40. The one we built for the blazer is 42, and you just might be amazed at how loud it gets The guy with the blazer is getting a mustang next week, then we'll play with some lower tunings.

Yeah, the entire interior was the same 2 colors as the console pieces in that pic....but I took a week this summer and gutted the dash and doors, then painted them, installed neons under the dash, seats, and in the air vents, and did a temp wiring with my 6.5's in the door...I'll be re-wiring those sometime this week.
