blue fury

i got to hear a 150+ h2 hummer a couple months ago. Fist Ive heard thats ever been metered. He played a couple songs before he said the subs needed some cool off time. I was thinking most of the time while it was turned up, "breathe... breathe..." haha

Not a when question, but there will be D1 versions right? What about pairing them with an IA 40.1?

A good read http://www.hometheatershack.com/forums/hom...ct-fiction.html

haaaahahahaa

you probably have never heard a well built stereo youd most likely change your setup if you had. Trust the experienced.

Yup, Jud T. 'Fallen' over from ROE. He works with Rob 'Ferret' over at RCBenclosures.com Paid for the design a couple weeks ago and finally finished it yesterday. This is the 3rd box for one of these- the 1st was just a very temporary test box. I wanted to hear what it sounded like in a sealed box suggested from the manual... crap. The 2nd was a ported built by me from the manual specs. It was also supposed to be temporary but slow income caused it to be in use for about a year. It couldve been better but it still impressed my buddies.. me not so much. This one Im very pleased with. I used GM 100% silicone II black door and window sealant. I experimented with different products for gasket and other applications a couple years ago when I made my own ping pong paddles and found this to be the best for the price.

Making the gasket. I planned on it being in my car today but a setback caused otherwise. Anywho Thats a ziplock bag cut to strips on top of the silicone. Gasket will be 1/8" The box is finished for now. The only things left to do are for aesthetic purposes only (wood filler over the screws, carpet, painting the ports, etc) so those steps will be done down the road when I do the amp rack. The box is a LOT better than my last one which was built to the suggested specs from the manual.

What a beautiful nick on the top edge there. woops

1/3 into sewing the screen on, I started to backtrack because the last 2 inches weren't straight. During then I tested the strength and it failed right at the last 2 inches. Pulled it all out. Definitely gotta find some nice mesh, even if I have to buy an office chair just to get the 16"x7" square I'd use. Oh well, That'll count as 15 hours of practice for hand stitching the next piece on. Not much progress made on the screening except for that I undid all the screen and replaced it with mesh. Ive been busy with finals and other projects, not to mention I bent or broke all the needles I was using so this has been on hold. I just took one pic cause there isnt much to it. 2 days ago I started the box. Its a 6th order tuned to 33 and 63hz designed by Jud (Fallen) Thanks again man. This is as far as I got: Before I started I had to make a sandwich.. polska kielbasa, colby jack, butter, bbq sauce, honey, and tobasco sauce on a 2 foot french baguette baked then broiled. But next time, double meant and double cheese. The sub is my other hx2 10" Just tilt your head to the right Im too lazy to actually rotate the pic Still no jig for the router, gotta do it the long way but it came out great.

So far so good The screen is held in place with a few staples for now, but I'm done for the night. Its 2am and I've got school tomorrow. A couple more pictures of the car itself. The project is on hold for a couple hours because I gotta start working on my Halloween costume. The dirty blue fury. Living in the country on a grapevine ranch makes for a never ending battle. I gave up cleaning my car because it would get this dirty less than a week later. Flames make it faster. My hu/iPod holder It was really easy to make.

I realized I hadn't posted this on SSA so here it is. My car is a 1996 Chevy Lumina LS and is my daily driver. Everything is pretty much stock except for a few things- Excessive Amperage 200A alt Big 3 0g Optima yellowtop in front Northstar NSB 90 0g front to back As of a couple days ago I had a budget stereo. RF power 5 1/4 and 6x9 coaxials in the stock locations. A visonik 240xt to power them. I have 2 but only run 1 10" RF power HX2 sub in a 1.75 @33hz off of a DUB8001 amp. My HU is a premier p490ib with my 2G nano connected to it. But right now, I replaced the DUB amp with an RF T10001bd and gave my 6x9's away. Nothing looks really nice because its still temporary.. as in many wires aren't in their final locations, etc. There will be a few possible sections to this build log. Seat Screening Sub Box Amp Rack Glassing the Doors This wont be done until maybe early spring of 09 because of slow income and not much free time. Not to mention certain products aren't available yet. And now.... Seat screening. I got this idea from Thumpper and changed it a little bit. A blue blanket to hide everything the next couple days I wont have a back seat. I thought it fit nicely. Unmodified Screen color comparison... not perfect but close enough. Target area Knife time

hello

Already on the list: 2 12" xcons, a saz3k, another big battery, more wiring. New to the list: Recone kit (or just send the sub it for repair), HSPA1000-r. I gotta find a better job or find a LOT more couch change quickly

Dammit, now I gotta save up for something else

I joined and posted this on home theater forum a day or so after here and theres been no replies there. I saw the bash amps but had no idea if they were good or not. I found this one actually right now while looking for the bash amps http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.c...tnumber=300-808 andfor $350its looking to be the best so far. I just dont want to start off getting something I'll regret because its crap. Ive been thinking about it, and Ive given myself two options- repair for theater use, or for music and keep it in my room. This is because I dont frequently watch movies in my room, just play music. Plus if I go the music route, I might lend it to my friend in case he wants a little bass around his place during parties.

That's just your opinion dude. My opinion is alot of people bash the W7s and make claims that their cheaper subs are superior and aren't. Its not an opinion. More like a proven fact. He's probably heard audiobahns or equivalent OR never heard reputable less expensive subs in proper enclosures before.

Thanks for the replies, knowing its possible is a step further towards doing it. Wheres a good place online to shop/learn about plate amps?

I have an old RF power hx2 10" that I broke, burnt the leads. I have no knowledge of home theater stuff or repairing subs, so what I was thinking is using this sub for my room. Is it possible to buy a recone kit that would make this sub suitable for this? What should I look for? Another question, what mono amp would I use for it? This is just a little side hobby that Id like to try, so I dont know if Im getting into something that gets really involved. I don't even know if I'll do this because I seem to be always strap for money (or spend it all on my car) but Id like to get some ideas and learn something.

May need a little more than one optima battery. But as for the box, try to aim for about 15 in2 per cubic foot of port area. So if 2 cft net, then 30 sqin port area. See where that takes you. And since the box is rather big, try some bracing every 15 inches or so.

Woops, edit. Well lets start off like this. What amp do you plan on using and what electrical support do you have so far?

Ive been sitting staring at my new amps, tearing at my broken woofer and planing time to build the box for the other sub. And school because finals are next week.

Yep got mine too!

hello hello, you'll get a ton of help with planning an upgrade.

Even if its in a good enclosure, would a btl be the better choice for sound quality? hmmm
