oh whoops I just reread it and figured out my mistake before I even saw your post, which confirmed it. Anyways, if you have the space, two will be louder. Twice the displacement and less power compression on the subs.

wait first you say port area = 55, then you say square port volume = 55. I assume you meant area instead of volume. You say the port is 4" wide, I assume it goes as high as the internal of the box (13.5")? I'd assume a speaker displacement of about .15, which brings your 3.97 down to about 3.8 cubes after all displacements. Then, a 4" x 13.5" port that's 8" long makes the box tuned to........43 hz. But you also say that you haven't played with the amp settings at all? That's a HUGE part of it. You have to set the crossover and gain at least. Plus since you only used 5/8" wood I imagine you're getting a significant amount of flex. You'll need to brace that box.

I used to love Crossfire but they have soured the taste in my mouth after I blew 3 amps in 5 years- two BMF1000D's and a VR404. First 1000D blew mosfets but I did buy it used from an SPL competitor so I gave it the benefit of the doubt. Second one I never really figured out what was wrong, had some blackness around some resistors and small caps in the middle of the board. Though that one blew after a loud pop in all my speakers right as I started my car. I'm thinking I may have had a big static discharge through the system or something. My other amp (a kenwood) was fine though. and the 404 I don't think I could tell what was wrong. It may have been damaged from vibrations, I don't know. But again, other amps mounted at the same place at the same time survived. I really liked the BMF when it was working though. Rated at 1000 but measured 1250 in a review, and was priced well. So it really sours my day that I have to not like them anymore.

Aborigines?

You mean h/u's? Indeed.

I was dating a 24 year old when I was 15 so don't worry about it. That's wild. But I have to wonder what kind of a girl would do that? One that had no idea how old I was. Actually started seeing her when I was 14, but didn't hit gold until 15. Ha I thought that might be the case. So you were hittin' a mature-bodied twenty-something at 15. niiiiiiice.

how long is your port? Is your "volume before displacement" number before both port and sub displacement? What are your box dimensions? One of those numbers is not right. I've been plugging the numbers into winISD for 5 minutes and can't get a scenario where that port area with that tune will work with that size box if it's before all sub and port displacement. The port is prohibitively large every time.

Why would you want to put 6000 on either of those subs? That's three times what they're rated for.

what speakers are they? That sounds fine to me. the 3.5s won't play much midbass anyways, they just don't have the displacement to be heard.

Oh and Sean wasn't it you that had a bunch of receivers? Any cheap ones left?

www.bcae1.com. on the right go to number 91.

Kinda need to know the size of the box.

Watched "Quarantine" the other night. It was pretty frightful. The ending kinda sucked, though, and it was a bit short. There were a couple of times that I thought were unrealistic to a point that it detracted from the movie. They were the parts where somebody was trying to open a door in front of them and the cameraman would turn around and see something coming after him, then he'd turn back around and watch the person fiddle with the keys trying to open the door for like a whole 5 seconds, and you just think man, there's no way it took that long for the chasing thing to get there, the cameraman would be dead by now. Plus most of the attacks were very predictable. But it had good effects and gore and enough strange things to make it overall still scary. Tonight we watched "Role Models." That show is real funny.

now this I have to hear long story short....i was responding to a fight call, the rear of the car stepped out, i overcorrected,(i think that's what happened) and at about 50mph (slowed down from about 90) i launched the charger about 15 ft down into a creek. it didn't swim very well, i got a concussion. no airbags deployed..and the charger has no front end. i've got cell phone pics that i'll eventually gt uploaded. and that's the just of the story, lol... wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Sorry to hear about that. What was with the airbags not deploying? Did you get in trouble from your chief or do they normally understand that accidents happen in that line of work?

Indeed. Jonas Brothers are tools

Check for air leaks on the box. Check twice.

That's fine.

Contact JL Audio and see how much they'd recone them for. Then figure out how much they sell for when not broken. Subtract the two and you have your answer.

Man why am I so HUNGRY? I came home to take a nap (got off work early, at about 3:30, wahoo) then got stuck on browsing the net and reading all the stuff on here. Now it's 6:30 and too late for a nap.

haha dang that's wild

NOOOOO!!!!!!!!! You should hold onto it until I buy a house in about 2-3 years, because I'd buy it off you then. haha.

I had a girl's parents do that to me, I think I was 17 and she was 15. I didn't talk to her much after that but rumor was that she got an STD from a dude at a lake party like two months later and got into drinking and drugs. Great call, parents. I was one of the most responsible teenage boys you'd ever meet. I hear she's married now and doing better, so that's good. But I can't say I totally blame them. I'm sure I'll be overprotective with any daughter I'd have, too.

lol um what is lawrence? This is not jeopardy. You are banned! jk

But they also made a dual basket sub as well, so that should show what influences their designs sometimes. Even triple basket subs One thing a double basket sub could be useful is to prevent spider deflection by having 2 spiders spaced far apart. oops you're right, it was triple basket, not double. If you're going to overdo something, I guess overdo it by a lot!
