Nice looking build. I've always wanted to try a sonotube someday..

I wish Madisound had a review section...

Why so (now)?

I disagree. Dorms should be used in the first year, that's how you meet a lot of people.

I got a laptop for college.

Do you just want a single sub, or could you use more?

Okay, I have a question about the axis. Perfectly on axis, the driver would be facing me, correct? I'm new to aiming, entirely. What are my goals as far as positioning and aiming?

OMFG. Sexiest sub I've ever seen.

Said on the news that I might get 8-10" in NW PA. Buffalo might get 18"?? I doubt this, but it's what they're forecasting.

How much power do you need at 2ohms?

Good job, Jacob! Keep makin', they're obviously sellin!

yea ive noticed that but rlp are kinda weak thermal power wise... less than the havoc anyway... i dont want anything less than 1500-2000rms, and it has to be an 18" You've really limited your options if you're looking for a HT sub. There aren't a ton of drivers out there that handle that type of power, unless it's an SPL-type driver.

Speaking of Lincolns, has anyone drove the MKZ yet? If so, let me hear some comments about it.

Fi Q, SSA Icon, Sound Splinter RL-P. There are A LOT of guys on Home Theater Shack that run the RL-P's in HT.

*crickets*

DO IT. I just built a HT sub with an older Mag, and it is just outstanding in every way!

Why don't you buy a real one?

yes, I based it off the Kit LCRs from Adire Audio, figured that would be the best place to start, though thats home theater... but mostly same drivers Thats a lot of why Id ecided to go with something fully adjustable rather than 2 AC 6XS's.... so i can tweak it I suppose it's a starting point. Just remember how terrible the automobile is for a stereo. The acoustics are terrible in comparison to a HT.

why not throw in a dcon.. it is geared mostly torward sq.. ?? just a thought My first reason for going sub less is trunk space. Secondly, with 8" midbasses in each door, do you really need a sub? Third: I'd rather put more money into my front stage and really have something that will cause auditory eargasms.

Also, as I just sold my Icon, I'm willing to bump up the budget to $400.

The passenger side will be cake. I will be able to do the 1.5" tweet, I'll just have to flare out the kick a little bit. I have a dead pedal there that I will be taking out, and I always drive with my left foot back as seen in the picture.

What are the specs on your box?

Take a multimeter and check and see if you have 12V power at the end of the positive wire by the amp. With your car on, check the remote wire with a DMM and see if you have a 12V signal there. If all those check out, it seems to me to be an amp problem.

Not positive on this, but it may be: Extreme Lead: ONLY choose this option if you plan to use the woofer for SPL ONLY applications. This option tends to yield really bad tinsel slap and rubs holes in the spiders (especially on the 10

How do you know your crossover points without having anything installed? Is that just where you plan on starting at before you tweak and tune?
