You could probably get away with three of them, keep them 17" long. That'll make it easy for you.

and on the prowl for some puss... The roommate's gf told me she was bringing some girls from work over to hang out and grill today. I got a little excited for the potential. But then they came over and, yeah potential completely gone. ; So you are saying you are out of food? haha, yeah you could put it that way.

The new Sundown 2000d would work, as well as the IA 20.1. I think you'd want a class D amp for that much power, just to make it a bit easier on the electrical system

I'm very surprised they say that as well. I'd use at least twice their recommended size for that 18.

I've thought about Porsche before. They certainly have the brand recognition. But unfortunately I don't like the looks of any of their lines other than the 911 (and current productions of it), or really any of them over 15 years old.

Hmm I had completely forgotten about the 300zx. Those don't look too bad.

Just ran 1.5 miles to the rec center, lifted weights for about an hour, then ran back. Man I feel good and powerful.

supras arent to easy to come by these days. Maybe look along the lines of a 240sx. those can be hopped up fairly cheap, dont know much about the Rx-7s, im sure its pretty expensive. and on a side not i will support u in this endeavor. Im a support of fast cars, i wanna get an infiniti one of these days If I ever get one, I'll drive it down to Texas for you. I'm not a big fan of the 240sx. They don't look as good as Supras IMO, and did any of them come with more than a 4 banger? I'm not a big fan of the 350z either. The 2JZ is just a hard to beat engine for that application. MKIV Supra or nothing!

1) Don't make two threads of the same thing 2) No need to bump every 3 minutes 3) Put them in the correct forum. Thanks!

my bud who works in dc now had a 93 rx7 built all through college. he can't smog it (something about the idle and the amount of pollution when the second turbo engages) in ca and he lives on the east coast now. it was built by a local rotary shop called mariah motorsports that runs a successful race team. he's dumped threefold what he paid for the car into performance mods for road/track racing. i think he wants to sell it for 16k, let me know if you're interested and i'll find out more. I wish I could do that. But this was just the initial excitement phase. I'd need a year of saving before I was really ready to buy. I suppose car payments wouldn't be so bad, but I'd like to at least get one of my two student loans paid off first (should get that done in the next year).

I'm not much a Supra fan. They are pretty much just hideous to me, and it has to look good and perform well for me to like it. The performance is definitely there, but, gah, the looks. I LOVE the 3rd gen RX7s! Too bad the F&F fucked up that beautiful TT in the first movie. Not too much a fan of the 8s though. They look like a bunch of mmisplaced puzzle pieces thrown together. The rotary is an amazing engine though. People complain about them lacking torque, but in those lightweight cars, they work very well. I don't mind the looks of the Supra, I'm just a bit disappointed how it and the Celica look almost exactly the same, just a bit longer. Kinda cheapens the Supra look, IMO. Yeah I've heard that about the torque in the rotaries as well, but shoot, like you said, in a car like that, I don't see how that could really be a problem. It's not like you're towing a boat. But then again, I've never driven one either. But I think it would be fun as hell spooling that thing up to 8-9k RPM.

My bro and his wife got little life jackets for their dogs for when we were canoeing last weekend. I'm not sure where they got them from or anything. But they had fun little handles on top, as you can see. He just dipped them over the side of the boat every once in a while and watched them paddle like mad to get back into the boat. Haha I guess Chihuahas don't really like water. At least his sissy ones don't.

I just looked on cars.com for some, and they seem pretty pricey. At least for what I think. Basically all at least $20k for the last body style (which I'd like), and around 10k for the 89-92s. That's a little more disposable savings than I have right now. Darn.

Moved to subwoofer forum. Are you thinking of doing a sealed or ported box? Can you describe your desires for the sub with more detail than "SQ" and "hit hard?" What is your budget for components?

Maybe I'll look for a go-fast car. I know you guys will persecute me for this, but I've always liked Supras and RX-7s. Are they practical and fairly easy to upgrade for somewhat cheap? I'm sure the RX-7 may need a special in-town mechanic that knows how to work on the rotaries, but that part doesn't scare me as much as a few years ago before the RX-8 came out because at least now there's a current car on the road with it.

Hmm, what to do today? My dad invited me to a lake party for his work, but it would take me about 3 hours to drive there. I'm not really in the mood to drive that far.

did u get a chance to check out the "scenery" by the pool? When I went to get my keys there was nobody at the pool

Had an ok day. Went fishing this morning in beautiful weather, about 68* but a bit windy (Hell for the middle of July in Kansas, I'll take that temperature no matter the wind). Only caught one little bass in the two hours I was out, but it was worth it. Then I went and bought some protein powder to try and help me gain weight and make my little home workouts a little more productive, got the keys to my new place and checked it out for the first time, then came home and worked out. Now it's time to grill some steaks!

What is the box tuned to? If it's tuned for daily driving, increasing the tuning frequency by a couple hertz will probably get you over the hump.

The RMS of the BLs is 1000, so 1000-1100 watts per sub is perfectly fine. No need to put 1500 on them. You could even just do one SAZ3500.

Excursion is different in ported boxes than sealed boxes. If you're playing a 30 hz tone, the sub will move a lot in a sealed box but basically not at all in a ported box tuned to 28 hz.

Hook up the oscope inputs to the outputs of the amplifier, play a 50 hz test tone, turn up amplifier gain until the tops of the sine waves on the oscope get chopped off.

I haven't. But all may not be lost. I smoked an Alpine sub like 10 years ago and I took it into the shop I bought it from, and they just put a new sub in there at no charge. I was surprised.

Had three straight 11 hour outside work days at the beginning of the week, hence my absence (if anybody noticed). Tuesday was the killer, it was like 105 with at least 115 heat index because the humidity was so high (had rained that morning and did again that night). I got so hot it kinda made me nauseous and I didn't eat any supper. Well, it coulda been that or the pound of parmesan cheese that the lady put on my meatball marinara from Subway that I had for lunch. I don't know what she was thinking. It was like 1/2" thick on there. Pretty sure I lost about 5 pounds that day. Yesterday was about perfect, though, it only got up to 85 or so and was cloudy. But no work tomorrow, hooray for me. My new apartment place called and said I could come get the keys to my new place and move in whenever I want at no charge, even though my lease doesn't start until the first of August. Wicked. Maybe I'll go there and lay by the pool and check out the chicks. Hopefully they aren't all 60.
