    I understand. There are other members graduating right? It is always a good reason to party. My gf is. But she's an SSA hater. She's always like "you're on that site again? you're always on there."

    I can't decide if I want to go ported on my MAW 15's or go a single sealed with the Mag 12. A snazzy sealed box with a plate amp for the Mag is starting to sound good to me. I don't know if it's this sub's low inherent distortion or what, but I'm noticing that it is very easy to hear clipping compared to other subs. Though I'm beginning to wonder how similar these new Mags are to the last Shiva? I wonder how the Shiva-X sounds? Similar but with twice the displacement?

    Yeah 35 isn't much. When i bought my explorer I went in and looked at their display of tints and it was almost like 35 wasn't there. I chose 18 or something. Apparently shops don't care about legal limits when they install your stuff, they just told me it's under the limit so beware. They also discounted the price if I paid in cash. Hmm.... In Baytown everyone north of 146 will only do 35 (the legal limit). First place I went to south of 146 said, "we can do what ever you like" lol. But they charge $10 extra for it. Big whoop though, 120-130 Was that for all of your windows? Mine was 60 for the front two. I thought that was pretty reasonable.
  4. The mic will be the only thing that senses that power difference. Theoretically you'll only be losing like .5 of a db.
  5. Agreed, I deleted your other topic. What are you talking about with the horizontal and vertical 45s?

    Try taking the sub out of the box and play it free air and see if the noise is still there. Just be careful, it won't handle very much power outside the enclosure.
  7. I thought you were making the 4 cube box? If you may want to port it later, take that into account now. Leave room on the front baffle for the port and leave enough room behind it for the port to extend into the box (this may change your bracing plans).
  8. I know it's a noobish question, but are your crossovers the same on the Sundown as they were on the AB? Having a lower LPF or higher subsonic filter may cut frequencies in the songs you're listening to and make it less loud.

    Hooray for Friday, and hooray for a short work day! Off at 1:15.

    Whoops I just used 4. But I do trail off quite often.

    I got off early from work today because I was in training in another city so I thought I'd go golfing because it's a freaking beautiful day. But once I got home my motivation waned, and I think I may just go sit in a lawn chair next to the lake and fish.
  13. 10s in the correct enclosure will outperform 12s in one that's too small.
  14. There is likely a very small possibility of 150 watts damaging it in any way, but sometimes you never know. 4 cubes is pretty big for sealed, I think that's about what they recommend for ported.

    Read an article about that about a month ago. Crazy.

    But what is a joke is alot of things in society today............like our PUBLIC education system Fixed that for you. I thought the public was obvious, as private institutions can't technically be called "ours" Actually its the education system as a whole. As the son of a teacher in the public school system, its not their fault. Its these god forsaken kids, their shit head 'do whatever you want to do' parents, and naturally the govenment and their requirements. Rather than teach for the 'real world' and teaching children as they should, they teach for a test. Its horrible how they have to do this dance around bullshit in order to make sure the kids can pass. God forbid a kid not learn and fail the test, and get held back or don't graduate...........Whiney ass bullshit. J x2. I always had great teachers in my public schools. From what I've seen, it's up to the student's attitude a lot more. and the wienie-producing regulations.
  17. that high cut knob actually sounds like a low pass filter. You'll want to set it to 60-70 hz probably. At least I hope it's a low pass filter, because you don't want a high pass filter on that system at that high of a frequency. The only high pass filter you may need is a subsonic filter, but that'll be down at 15 hz, and it won't be a big issue with the sealed box. Ported boxes need subsonics more.

    Remember the days of CBFryman. . . The one man show has turned into a pioneer I guess. Many are following his lead. And we thought HE was bad. No shit, now there are bunches of them. Like a fungus they spore and keep growing...................time for some Tinactin prahaps? BOOM!

    The one that's only 1.5" thick? We have some at Sears. You work at Sears? Sears and Kmart. What do you do? I'm a lawn and garden salesman. How do you sell lawns? I suppose they are all custom ordered to fit around each house's particular dimensions?

  22. Larger box size will help with efficiency, but you can't lower the tune if you want higher numbers. Tune to at least 40. I briefly read on the other forum that somebody suggested this and you said you'd have to plug the port to lower the tune for daily use, and that's fine. You'll have to do that. But you can't get a 145 with a lower tune.

    I think the issue that may have caused her to lose the crown was the whole thing about nude photos http://www.tmz.com/2009/05/12/miss-ca-new-...rump-to-rule%2F Oh yeah, whoops. Got the two issues mixed up. The article I read had both issues in it.
  24. A box tuned that high won't have much SQ. I recommend a new box that's larger and tuned about 10 hz lower.
  25. Don't go around setting people's car alarms off. You'll get a brick through the window, or worse. Not to mention it makes you look like a jackass. Do you know how to build a wall?
