Hiyas, welcome to SSA nice set up by the way.

ghetto riffic. Note the 6x9's and the mismatched subs and well ya

sweet~

lol e-thugs. Ya I can see more people coming here and statistically yes there would be more e-thugs, but they wouldn't be the majority.

Glad to see SSA extend the olive branch to Roe to keep their head above water. I hate to see audio forums crash and burn because as a whole we are all connected in some way.

This thing is insane and im loving every minute of it.

ummmmmmm ya here ya go. For earth shattering bass you can't beat this custom made 60-inch subwoofer which has the ability to produce SPL levels above 180 dB. This monster has ouput displacement comparable to 160+ ten-inch woofers! More after the jump. "The motor is capable of producing 6,000+ pounds of linear force, which is necessary when considering the very large surface area and displacement volume required to produce high SPL levels."

Welcome to the forum....

Beings I dont have access to a Termlab "sigh" yes the enclosure specs came from Kicker, so ok I know where your going with this Jim heh

ouch baking soda is your friend

I've heard plenty of stinking loud Comp VRs. Don't buy into all this Xmax talk. Xmax tells you nothing about a drivers capability. God, when are people going to get over this? sorry Tirefryr but I dont agree with you there. I have comp a set of VR's that are not that loud. before you go there they are in the optimum enclosure and supplied with as much clean power as they can handle.

yup vlad I agree I would drive 6 hours for satisfaction. But only if thats his real name and addy. One fake id $12, one fake bank account $100 deposit, one fake paypal account free, scamming someone priceless... make sure you have a valid addy and name....

I hear ya Jim, but why hasnt anyone said anything about over amping to get clean power. I mean basically clipping IMHO happens more from under powering than over. With that I will clarify, take a sub stage for instance. The Rms requirement is say 1000rms now you have a amp that can produce a maximum of 1000rms or you have a amp that can produce 1500rms maximum. The 1500rms amp will produce cleaner power at 1000rms than the 1000rms amp because its not at its maximum limit. (the amps are of equal efficiency and type). I think most people push their amps to the limit where clipping is more of a problem. IMHO

Ya I hear ya on the CVR 12. It doesnt have much Xmass and basically its not a loud sub, but for SQ in a sealed enclosure it works nicely and the price is cheap.

oi vay, this is a controversial topic that has many valid points on all sides of properly setting gains. Personally I set my gains with a DMM I wish I had a O scope (maybe in the near future) to set them, but I will have to do with what I have at the moment. Bottom line to this topic is setting the gains so that your not damaging anything. Setting the gains by ear will work as will each other method, but IMHO by ear is not as accurate as a DMM or O scope for the average user. The DMM method would be the second best method for setting your gains, because of the fact you have a tangible number to work with not a subjective sound your listening for. Then finally the O scope method in conjunction with the DMM IMHO would be the best alternative for the average user to set their gains with. Seeing physical data and being able to accurately plot it will in my mind be far superior to the average user than listening for it. Now in reference to my use of the term average user, YES some people can accurately set their gains by ear with no substantial damage to their system, but not everyone hears the same or has the same experience with quality sound as the other. ok im done this was just my humble opinion, everyone has one this was just mine, thanks for reading. ~Peace~

Hiyas, and welcome to the forum hope you enjoy your stay.

Whats the breaking point of a thong?

ummm ya. what he said

eh Scions are cheap if your wanting to strip the rear interior and wall it.

Wish I could go but funds are low lol. I would have to drive about 15hrs or so but if I had time and the cash id be there.

heh ya it was quick and raw just like my women.

hiyas, my take on box flexing is this "the less the better" why? because flexing is basically turning the enclosure into another sound source that may have negative effects on your intended sound waves. You might get lucky with the flexing and not produce cancellation waves but why risk it. I would much rather try to reduce the chance of anything interfering with something im trying to control. ps: even with the proper materials your still going to have some measurable flex, but not enough to give you problems. now for how much flex heh I took two scrap pieces of 3/4 Mdf and particle board (both were the same size and thickness) and placed then on my saw horse evenly and then placed two new 5 gallon buckets of drywall plaster on them (one on each). the particle board busted and the Mdf didn't. so I would say the Mdf would be the better choice for having less flex. heh not to scientific but its all I had laying around.

Thanks for all the input. Seems like I have some thinking to do lol. Right now I was tossing around the idea of fitting a evaporator around the sub motors and using the stock ac unit to power the system, but condensation concerns are holding me back.
