    I could never work in the food industry either.
  2. Just be careful with this, most of the time the problem isn't space available in the trunk, it's the size of the opening into the trunk and if the box will fit through the opening. If it won't, your only option is to build it in-trunk, but that's more effort.

    Indeed. and if you're only planning on one 3000d for the pair, you really don't need to get the BTLs fully loaded. You can save some money by not getting some options I think.

    I'm glad you're satisfied with the job that keeps you below the poverty line. At least you won't be disappointed much in life.

    I was driving behind a Corsica today and I noticed something chained to the ball hitch. Upon closer review I found out it was the muffler, which would drag on the ground otherwise. haha. A car not only with a ball hitch but with the exhaust chained to it, that's about as redneck as it gets, ain't it?

    I don't know anything about AQ subs. I don't think they're as quality as Fi though.
  7. well since that amp is the same as a Hifonics......yeah he pretty much is.
  8. That thinking is way too general. For instance, if you bridge a 2 channel class A/B amp at 4 ohms to get 1000 watts, you'll be pulling more power than a class D amp will at 1 ohm making 1000 watts because the A/B amp is likely about 30% less efficient than the D.
  9. Unless you got scammed by the seller and he sent them to you with them damaged and lied about the recent recone. Ask him for the receipt from DD.
  10. I think sub up port back works best in those hatchbacks.

    check for air leaks in the box

    it is said that a 3db change is around the perceptible difference threshold for us.

    stupid. I say let them starve on too little meal money. Obviously would do them some good, maybe they'll live longer.
  14. for 1500 watts I'd go larger than 4 gauge. I'd do 2 or even 1/0. and please don't run 40 runs of 12 gauge. Just do it right and buy larger wire, save up for a month if you have to. Also, skip the cap and upgrade the battery. Larger battery will be 100 times more effective than a cap.
  15. KU40 replied to bnasty's topic in Newbie Sign IN
    Yeah. Theoretically, 2 subs on the same power should gain 3 db (doubling cone area but not doubling power).
  16. KU40 replied to mrray13's topic in Off Topic
    Check the engine seals the 2.8 was prone to losing both of them and they aren't trivial to replace. I think they became better in 1998 but don't quote me on the years as it isn't in a range that I ever looked at. **my least favorite color for that car** I agree. green, ick.
  17. KU40 replied to bnasty's topic in Newbie Sign IN
    theoretically, 3 db. You get 6 db by doubling woofer cone area and power (so from one 12 with 500 watts to two 12s with 1000 watts), so you should get 3 by doubling cone area but not power. But real life doesn't always play by theoretical rules so we can't be totally accurate in predictions.

    Actually I think I'm going to make some bbq meatballs if my beef is thawed out.

    Watched a St. Patrick's day parade for nearly 2 hours today at work. My boss was watching with us most of the time so it was ok . Our office is on the 4th floor of our building and a coworker brought over binoculars "for security purposes." Yeah right. After 2 minutes he was scoping out chicks. We found a super hot 30 or so MILF sitting on the back of a truck. Her legs were even open the whole time, as she was sitting on the side rail against the cab, one leg down into the bed and the other on the side rail. And she had a shirt that said something like "give it to me green." We were like yeah, we all know what kind of girl she is. Too far away for camera, though.

    no +1 for sharing, way to be a douche bag i was sharing the music! and i can only fit so many people in my car. we even tried squeezing the sub that i had when teh fire drill went off in my car! he threatened my friend that if he didn't gtfo he was gonna tell the real teacher that he was swearing, cheating, throwing chit (yes he said chit), punched a whole in teh wall (the sub accidently put a hole in the wall during class =]). but then the fire drill was over in the middle of his sentence you really think all those people not inside your car really wanted to hear your music? I realllly don't like hearing other peoples music. I can deal with it in traffic when the person is passing by without to much of a problem, but when the vehicle is stationary and I can't move out of the range of hearing its a pain in the ass. I don't like other people hearing my music. That's because you'd feel embarrassed if anybody heard your Celine Dion, wouldn't you? hehe

  24. is the rattle coming from the sub itself or the metal parts of the trunk vibrating? and missing a couple of coils? haha. I doubt they're missing from your subs.
