I was actually baiting you there because I wanted to change your mind that the number of magnet slugs on a motor has anything to do with power handling. It doesn't.

Because of the only single magnet, right?

I've never understood bracing the corners/edges. Where two pieces meet (let alone three) and go different directions are where your box is already the strongest. The middle of the panels are what is weak and flexes.

Fudge that junk. Luckily I came after all that bs. If I had gotten a trophy for getting last place just because "I tried," I would bash that thing into a million pieces. You fail, you learn, you work harder to not fail again. If somebody bails you out during your failure, you learn that somebody will always catch you when you fall so it's ok to be a moron.

Worst way to decide which sub to buy ever.

Some SUVs are louder with subs up/ports back. That's about the only situation I can think of where not having them on the same face has proved optimal.

You're basing this on what? The "need" for the BTL to have 4000 watts? 3 cubic feet is at the very minimum of what a ported 15" SSD wants. I'm not a big fan of small ported enclosures, so unless you can get each sub up to about 3.5 cubic feet, I'd go 12s. I thought I heard that somebody said the SSDs like sealed enclosures a lot more than ported, so maybe do two sealed 15" SSDs. May not be any louder than your L7s but should sound a good deal better.

morning. I get off two hours early today because the training sessions took an extra hour each day. sweet. I was going try trout fishing again, but the 20-30 mph wind might stop me.

If you replace a stock wire that has a fuse on it, put one on the new wire. If it doesn't, you don't need one. But I have never seen anybody with fuses on the big 3.

you really need to brace that box if the side panels are moving that much. You are losing a lot of bass energy when that happens. If your box is that big, you may as well wall it off. Would you be able to fit the subs and port on one face if you did that? I can't imagine you couldn't, since it would seem that you have a lot more than 18" in height available.

I thought the training of the last two days would be nice since I'd get to get out of the office, but man it was torturously boring. One of three guys standing at the front of the room with powerpoint slides for 7 hours each day.

sweet looking house, I like the stone features inside. But......holycrapatthatpricetag.

is that 3.5 cubes before or after port and sub displacement? If it's before, a 15 is out the window.

Ah okay, its just that I heard 4GA wasn't fitting on some amp terminals or something like that. What is the thing called that monitors your voltage? Capacitor or something? You can cut off a few strands of the power wire to help it fit into the terminal. and that would be called a voltmeter. a capacitor is very different. Some capacitors have voltmeters on them, but that is not a reason to ever buy one. In fact, don't buy one. Instead, look for a larger alternator (since your tercel has a what, 60 amp one on there?) and spend the money on that.

I wouldn't run it at .75. If you blow it, you won't get money back out of it to help pay for the new amp later.

Welcome. Just make sure to read stickies!

I call them cars.

I thought that was a given since he was running as a Democrat Party affiliation isn't what it used to be. The stereotypes for the two big parties don't always apply. But the Democrats knew what they were doing. Put in a black man and say he'll change everything from what Bush is doing. That's all he would have had to say. He'd get 15% of the vote just from that from all the ignorant people who knew nothing about either candidate but still had to make sure to vote, plus the 45% that the Democratic party would have gotten anyway. I think the "just go vote" mentality that all the national groups, celebrities, sports stars, etc. are telling people is misguiding. They need to change it to "Go learn about the candidates so that your vote is not in ignorance." Too many people these days vote solely on how charismatic a candidate is. Politics are about POLICIES, not smooth talking you at a cocktail party. I think that the 200+ year old terms, democrat and republican, need to be rethought. FYI, the "Republican" party had only been around for ~140 years. but yes, they are getting quite stale. Southern slave owners were only around 140 years ago? Are you sure about that The actual party names of democrat and republican have only been around about that long. Before, they were known by different names. Like the wigs, and........I forget.

if the sub is already blown and needs a recone.........

x2. Why don't you mount the speakers on the outside of the car, that'll help being heard from a distance. It was a better post, but goals are still misguided.

apparent inner city girl on the Kansas City news talking about expectations of her and her peers (I assume expectations from the students themselves, not from the teachers/parents/etc): "The guys here are expected to barely graduate if at all, and the girls are basically expected to just pop out babies."

it's raining, that makes me happy . And the anticipation of getting some as soon as my gf gets over here in a few.

anyways, I'm really tired of politics. I've never talked this much about them in my life, and I really don't enjoy it at all. Politics just make me angry. I'm so glad elections are over and I really want to stop talking about it all.

That's really what it needs to be. Just. Be. Honest. It's really not hard and makes nearly everything so much easier, and being honest will never snowball. Not to mention the huge lift off of your shoulders from not having to carry around a huge load of bullshit everywhere you go and everyday.
