XTRMEASURES

im looking for some idea's on what would be the best type of basket. what is the main job of a sub basket besides holding the sub together. give me the flaws of basket designs and what would you do/need to fix them. im looking just for the perfect basket design, so all you guys that know the ins and outs of a sub please reply with your comments... thanks jamie

thats good to hear a 15 hell yea now you need is a 8 and a 10" complete the set. thats sad about the basket, they looked perty cool. hey did you get my 2nd PM Mr.Nick good luck jamie

i do also...... my e8a is inverted and i just installed a e12a in a camaro that i inverted in the side back cubby hole on the driver side of the car. just remember to reverse the pallarity of the wires. ( wire the + from the amp to the - of the sub then wire the - from the amp to the + of the sub) jamie

im sorry i meant to say sub not box....LOL jamie

i was just thinking if there will be other sizes boxs like a 15. thanks jamie

what the fudge thats awesome, how much? jamie

oh i see sorry jamie

i am not like that, i ask for ppl oppinion's and you gave me yours. the guy thats going to machine the grills was thinking of helping me out on the business part of it. (something like he build's them and i would sale them for him) i should find out today or tomorrow all the details, the one's im haveing built for my car will be a trade for doing some work to his yukon. (audio work) then we'll find out how much would it cost to build, then go from there. thanks again DB jamie

i understand what your trying to say, thanks for your reply. the first thing is the guy whos makeing them is a old family friend... he's going to take care of the business side of it... thanks again DB ill post more when im done with my grills he's going to make mine for free (2-6.5" and 1-8" grill) over this weekend, then were going to see how much it would be to build a bunch of them.... jamie

^^^^ what he said jamie

what would the 307 be compaired too??? jamie

do u think it would sale if they are nice??? its going to be something like the audiobahn grills but nicer... jamie

no no lol the hyundai is for my car, if the cost is not much i will design a custom grill to sale.... jamie

im have aluminum grills made for my car, to go in the kicks with my 6.5s. also haveing one made for one of my e8a's, its going to be the hyundai emblem. right now im still drawing up the plans but i was thinking if it wont cost too much i might start makeing them to sale. it would be just about all sizes 5.25 on up to 18's so what do you guys think would you buy something like that? ill know more by next week, i have no idea how much something like this cost so i just hope its not to much so other ppl get there hands on something as cool as what im going to build.... as soon as i find out something ill post it..... jamie

we got a winner tell him what he won johny jamie

sorry to tell you but a box that big MIGHT not fit in your car. the opening of those car are small, you can build the box inside the trunk but that will be a female dog to do. the box will be around 5cuft after sub and port displacement, that is a big box. i built a box for 2-12IDMAX for a car like yours (2.5cuft each @30hz w/divider in the middle) and it didnt fit. it was around 6cuft after all said and done, so he just settled for a sealed box. im not saying it cant be none (anything can) but it will be a headack... good luck holla at me if you need help jamie

Thats right, Eclipse does everything right ... except hire good employees. - Steve thats oh so true... jamie

you mean tcsounds right....LOL just playing jamie

im not a big fan of rockford but the new look is awesome.... here you go... http://www.rockfordfosgate.com/products/ez...onent%20Systems http://www.rockfordfosgate.com/products/ez...er%20Amplifiers http://www.rockfordfosgate.com/products/ez...er%20Subwoofers the amp is the only real thing i like but the others are nice... jamie

i found this, so im passing it on..... Car Batteries What you need to know about your vehicle's battery. Most of us don't think much about the battery in our vehicle; we simply turn the key and expect the engine to start. We expect the battery to be reliable, long-lasting and maintenance-free. Once it fails, however, odds are you'll have to replace it, and knowing which type and size battery you need is important. Will it be conventional, maintenance-free or recombination? Conventional Batteries A 12-volt automotive battery has six compartments or cells. Each cell has a series of alternating positive and negative plates separated by isolators. All negative plates in the battery are connected, as are all positive plates. Each plate has lead sheeting bonded to it and every cell is filled with a solution of sulfuric acid and distilled water (electrolyte). As the battery supplies electricity, or discharges, the electrolyte reacts with the lead, forming lead sulfate and weakening the electrolyte. Conversely, as it charges, the acid is returned to the electrolyte and the lead sulfate is converted back into active material in the plates. During this cycle, hydrogen, and oxygen molecules evaporate out of the electrolyte, which is why batteries often need topping up with distilled water. Over time, continual charge/discharge cycles slough lead off the plates that build up in the bottom of the battery. Eventually, the plates short out and the battery dies. Maintenance-free Batteries A maintenance-free battery is essentially the same as a conventional battery, except for thicker plates and more electrolyte. Most new vehicles come equipped with this type of battery since it is more reliable and lasts longer. However, these batteries cannot be topped up and once the electrolyte evaporates and the plates are exposed, the battery is no good. Another type of maintenance-free battery is the gel-type. It has the electrolyte in gelatin form and does not lose electrolyte through evaporation. However, because the use of electrolyte gel requires the use of thinner plates for proper distribution of the acid it means that a gel battery in marginal condition can literally shake the plates apart as the vehicle rides over rough roads. Recombination Batteries Recombination batteries recombine the gases formed during charging, keeping electrolyte concentrations optimum. They are completely sealed, never need topping up, and come with either liquid or gel-type electrolyte that is bound into the separators. There is no sloughing of lead and the plates in these batteries are tightly packed. The result is a powerful, compact battery with quicker charging time and a longer lifespan. The down side is often a higher price tag. How Batteries are Rated To help you determine what battery your car needs, batteries are rated by ampere hours (Ah), cold cranking amperes (CCA) and reserve capacity. These ratings tell you how much power a battery can produce under marginal conditions. Ampere hours rate how much current can be drawn from a battery over a 20-hour period without voltage dropping below 1.75 volts per cell. A healthy battery should keep the parking lights lit for 20 hours. For powering accessories without the engine running, this is an important measurement. Cold cranking amperes rate a battery's ability to start an engine under marginal conditions. CCA measures how much current can be delivered in amperes for 30 seconds at minus-18 degrees Centigrade (zero degrees Fahrenheit) with a final voltage of 7.2 volts per cell or higher. If you live in a cold-weather climate, you want this number as high as possible. Reserve capacity, measured in minutes, tells how long a battery can keep the engine going if the alternator fails. During this test, 25 amperes are drawn from the battery for as long as voltage does not drop below 10.5 volts. Any battery you purchase should have a reserve capacity of at least 120 minutes, so you can always make it home. Finally, always buy a battery rated for the vehicle and all the accessories it uses. Generally, this means a high Ah, high CCA, and high reserve capacity. Buy a quality, name-brand battery. Those sold in no-name battery discount stores are often poorly assembled and use inferior materials in the plates and separators. good luck jamie

what about the VHC1200 from lanzar has anybody played with this amp and is it reliable.... jamie

good idea jamie
