You have to make or buy adapters to fit into the 6x8 hole. Otherwise there shouldn't be a reason they won't fit, since you can make the adapter so that it does fit.

25 hz is fine.

Took a 3 hour nap after work today. Wow. And I only woke up because my phone rang.

I just switched back to the white. It'll work.

Man that thing had to have been making a terrible racket while you were destroying it, which evidently took time since you have a picture halfway through the destructioni. You need to learn to listen for those sorts of things. Recone is your only course. The other soft parts are surely damaged in some way as well.

How come the Hop doesn't show up when you click on the "view new content" link? Does the software get so intimidated by the vast greatness that it tries to ignore its existence?

I think it would depend on how close to the rear gate your box is. Ports need a little room to breathe. If the back of the box is basically butted up against the back hatch, that won't work very well and subs up, port up box would be better. But if you have at least 3-4", you could do either design.

Everybody. The definition of a crossover is that which limits frequencies that a speaker plays. So yes, they do make a difference. The crossover on your components may have had an additional 70 hz high pass in it, along with the usual lowpass at 2-4 khz.

Hmm. Looks like a tablecloth.

Yikes, that's only 10 square inches! I don't doubt you'll get port noise with that. Unfortunately what you suggest, extending the ports, will not help the matter. You simply need more port area. Is there any way to add another port hole or two, or else simply expand the holes already in there to fit a larger diameter port in each?

We cannot adjust the sizing of the forum. The other bugs have everything to do with the dark skin being brand new and having some bugs in it. Mark only installed it to keep people happy for the time being until we have a new custom skin made and installed. Hmm, it must just be my monitor settings at work, as my home monitor does not have the problem with the sizing. It all fits on one screen.

It's funny, on the front page of the forum on the right side it says "Lastest Discussions." Did a non-native english speaking person write that? Haha. Is it possible to scale down the skin a little in terms of size? As it is, there are horizontal scroll bars because the page is too wide for the screen. That's kinda annoying. There's also a problem with text in quotes being white, the same color as the quote background, and thus unreadable. But if these are just temporary things I understand. This'll sure take some getting used to. Everything seems bigger.

What do your front speakers consist of? Those are more important than the rears, as you hear those a lot more.

Yes it still needs to be the same length, because the sub will still see the same volume. It's just that instead of having to build the box to 5 cubes with the internal port, for example, you could only build it 4 cubes because you don't have to account for port displacement inside the box.

I'd try to not make that the long term solution. Vibrations from the box tend to loosen things internally in the amp and may cause it to fail prematurely.

yeah but they only have 90 day warrantys how do i know it wont break on me after 90 days? If there is a manufacturer defect, it should be obvious within the first hours of playing, let alone 90 days. IMO, anything after a week is user error 99% of the time.

Hmm seems something is robbing you of voltage between the battery and amp. Test on either side of the fuse on that wire, sometimes fuse boxes go bad.

wrong there is a difference each turn in the port causes turbulence slot(square ports that use one side of the box as a port wall) usually are very good with noise because of the opening of the port being easy to load and not have air being blown across the opening square ports that don't bend have less turbulence but may have more pressure blow by round ports are the worse until they are flared thats why they are the noisiest now if you use any of these and flare them it helps alot by creating a void and helps pull the air out of the enclosure more air movement = more db's (most of the time ) now are any of these differences enough to hear by ear? most of the time no but on the meter there is a difference I just thought you should know this in case you want to compete and don't use re's calculator it is often way off That's all fine and dandy, but that's not the issue. If you have a 12" deep box but need an 18" deep port, what are you going to do?

If you just want a meter just to mess around with on your system, it doesn't matter how accurate it is, it just has to be precise. It can measure 15 db lower or higher than the termlab and that won't matter. All you need is a meter that will show you how the changes you perform affect the score. So it doesn't have to be expensive at all, just able to reach the decibels you can reach (like some radio shack meters only go up to 130 or something). But alas, I don't know all of the different meters or where to get them.

You will never hear a difference.

Yes having 5 external and 12 internal is fine. Just have to remember to account for the displacement of the port that's inside of the enclosure. the RE calculator tells you how long to make each piece of the port. The long piece, towards the back, would be 12" long. The part that comes off and creates the L, parallel to the back wall, is 3". But since you measure down the center of the port and into the center of the corner, the total length becomes 19". I assume your port is 4" wide?

What do you think is happening when you have your head unit at volume 5 even with a 1000 watt amp? Just wire the coils in series. Who cares if it's only 150 watts at 4 ohms.

Pick out your amplifier first. That will determine the voice coils to get. That's it. If you have two subs and want a 4 or 1 ohm net load at the amp, get dual 1 ohm coils. If you want a 2 ohm load at the amp, get dual 2 ohm coils.
