I'd still like to know how you have the subs wired to that amp.

Gotta start packing for the camping trip and check the fluids in Midnight Thunder.

Oh boy, where to begin. 1/2" enclosures are not the best. Having two different sized enclosures is pretty ghetto and not ideal for sound reproduction at all. How do you have the subs wired to the amp? Since those subs are 4 ohm SVC, however you have it wired to that 2 channel amp is not ideal. Does this setup sound good at all? You need a fuse about a foot from the battery under the hood if you don't have one already.

Don't pray to god, just go to walgreens and get condoms. Teh condoms and pill. Same here. But last night I had a dream that we did it without a condom. I think it was because of these posts, haha.

College is awesome. I'm not sure how much of a "college feel" that institute has. Are there very many coeds there? Or maybe an all-women's college nearby?

Also went to a comedy club tonight (Stanford and Sons). It was mostly good, except for the girl, who was the second performer. She wasn't really funny at all and was just vulgar. She made a joke about killing more Jews than the Nazis because she was a Jew and often used the morning after pill. You could feel the uneasiness sweep over the crowd. Some small tragedies get a bit funny over time, but the Holocaust will never be funny. The main even guy, Dante, was quite funny. His opening joke to "test the crowd" was he said most people go to the bathroom in the shower, right? But doesn't everybody hate the part when you have to squish the crap through the drain with your feet? haha. He made a few racial jokes (though he spread them out over all races to make it fair). The one about Asians was about a Chinese guy who had a late drinking night with his friends and he was feeling a little randy when he finally got home. He nudged his wife awake and said "hey, how about some 69?" She looked at the clock and said "It's 5:30 in the morning and you want me to go downstairs and make you some mongolian beef with snow peas?"

Went to Night at the Museum 2 today. It's decently good. Not quite as good as the first, IMO. But one hilarious part, when Ivan the Terrible is being introduced. "Actually, Ivan the Terrible is an incorrect translation. The correct translation is Ivan the Awesome." Hahaha, rofl.

You need the BTL. It will handle the abuse you will most likely give the sub better.

I think the amp rack is ok, but you definitely need something to stabilize that battery. Don't let it just sit there.

Well, I wouldn't call college "life" just yet. Wait until you have a full time job out of school.

That small yellow cylinder is a capacitor. Too much power.

Sure sounds good.

Why don't you tell us what your system consists of entirely so we can help you more? With this info you gave we're trying to figure out the picture with only 4 pieces to the puzzle. Also, fuses are there to protect the wire, not the amps. Most amplifiers, at least ones that you'd run on 8 or 4 gauge wire, come with built-in fuses to protect the amps themselves. So the fusing size depends on the power wire you are using.

That's a decent idea. I didn't care to mess with fiberglass when I made the enclosure for my 12, so I just had it facing back in an L-shaped box in that corner. It only sticks out about 6" from the wheel well and leaves quite a bit of room, even with my amp rack. But if you could fiberglass it, I say go for it.

There's your problem...you MUST set your subsonic 2-3Hz below your tuning frequency of your enclosure. Otherwise..that happens. How would a subsonic filter, a buffer against mechanical failure, help in this situation, which was a thermal failure? I'm not saying he shouldn't have it on, I just don't knnow how it could have helped. Unless maybe overexcursion from unloading stretched/frayed/broke the tinsels, and a resulting arc lit the spider on fire.

I had that message pop up on my laptop a few weeks ago. You can see the thread I made about it on here. Jumping to the end- I ended up buying a new Dell desktop.

Whoops, yeah I meant can.

Too loud? Nonsense, poopypants!

well im using areos so i can change the tuning but will only b able to drop it to 34 cause of depth of box got any videos? You can't put a 90 degree turn on aeroports, just like slot ports. Therefore depth of the box shouldn't be an issue.

So the old box was sealed? A bit unfair to judge a sealed box against a ported box. *Not dissing on Audio Innovations' build skills*

The way it sounds, you won't damage the speakers at all. If the subs are in separate chambers, there is no way to damage a speaker with any phase setting. If they are in the same chamber, you just want to make sure the phase is the same on both. If they both move outwards at the same time, you're fine. How do you have the wires ran through the box? Is it possible you grabbed like the positive from one sub and the negative from the other sub and hooked them to the same amplifier? Or have the positive and negative wires switched around at the amp for one sub? It's kinda strange that by switching both to 180 it works better, since that is essentially the same as having them both set to 0 with respect to how they perform relative to each other. The only problem with output should be when one is at 0 and the other at 180.

You may want to shore up that thin sheet metal that sits behind the seats. Even though there are no holes, that stuff flexes and vibrates like crazy.

I agree, but on the page it says "Rugged, good-sounding dual voice coil drivers especially suitable for automotive subwoofer applications." I don't see much about that woofer that makes it a good woofer choice for in-car either. It may be decent for home audio for monster midbass with a dedicated subwoofer also in the system, but it's a bit difficult and impractical to build an enclosure for a 12" speaker in a vehicle that isn't being used as a subwoofer
