  1. do you really need a recone because of a blown sub or do you just want it to look different? You know that a recone by another company may well sound different?
  2. KU40 replied to philsteroni's topic in Build Logs
    Yes.
  3. Yes, you will be overpowering it. And take that 1600 on ROE with a grain of salt. I can put a 10,000 watt amp on my XR tweeters and have them last forever. It's all about actual power output, not capability.
  4. I just smoked a brisket two weeks ago and it was awesome. I don't remember the exact names of the rubs and marinade, though, because it was the first time I had used them and got the recipe from another guy. They are both store-bought though. I'll have to look when I go home. As you may know, there are different ways to make a brisket. You can smoke it for the whole time (I'd recommend at least 12 hours), or split between smoker and oven. I did the latter. Smoked it for about 6 hours, then into a 225 degree oven for the next 6 while sitting in a pan with its marinade and a cup or two of water. It retains the smokey flavor, don't worry, but just softens up in the oven.

    One of the hottest girls I've ever seen just moved in next door to me. Or else she's the gf of a dude that just moved in next door. and we have a definite milf that lives a few doors down. She was walking with a little rear side-to-side action to the mailbox today when I was pulling in from work. I definitely hit the brakes a little to catch that for all I could.

    Michael Phelps? I thought he made it?
  8. basically anything small and hatchback, like the Honda CRX. I don't know all the euro cars, so I just put that in as an example.
  9. You have this backwards. Generally you want to have 2 woofers with one tweeter if you're going to do this sort of thing due to tweeters being more efficient than the woofers. As for your question about 3/4 way, yours are 4 way. The woofer does count. Don't do any more than a 3 way. To keep it simple as your first project I may suggest just doing 2-way with a tweeter and mid. Is this for a home theater I take it? Do you have a separate subwoofer? If so, that 2 way is all you really need. If you don't have a subwoofer you can put one into the same general box as the mid and tweeter, but you have to remember to isolate the chambers for the different speakers. Also don't forget that if/when you put the mid into a box, the enclosure for it has to be calculated as well.
  10. Are you going to completely redo the box and add that lost 1" of depth on somewhere else to maintain box size? Or you could just cut off an inch from the back and adjust the port accordingly. You'll have a little less airspace. Other than that, not much I can tell you.
  11. yeah, why not wood? That's the easiest method, and since it should be able to stay in the factory location behind the door panel you don't have to worry about looks. What tweeter are you pairing these with? And have you found a location for them yet?

    I was born on April 22, 1984. The date of Easter on your birth year was Sunday, 22 April 1984. (I haven't seen a year where it's even been remotely close to being that late in the year since) I share my birthday with Lenin. and Jack Nicholson. At least I have some good top songs! Like a Virgin by Madonna When Doves Cry by Prince Jump by Van Halen Footloose by Kenny Loggins What's Love Got to Do with It by Tina Turner Against All Odds by Phil Collins I Just Called to Say I Love You by Stevie Wonder Ghostbusters by Ray Parker Jr. Karma Chameleon by Culture Club Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go by Wham!

    don't forget about utilities in the new place. But yeah if it's like my meal plan while I was in the dorms they really rape you. I think it came out to like 8 dollars a meal.
  14. just having some fun. so......yes, fun is needed!
  15. LOL how is that possible? Yeah, especially the part where he said the subs came two days apart but then said one came on tuesday and the other Friday. That's 3 days to me!

    sounds a lot like what my gf just went through this week with her new roommates at her new place. Their rent is basically 250 for each of the 3 girls. At the meeting that the landlord and the three girls had on monday, my gf said that she wants out of the house next may because she'll be getting a job somewhere else (lease ends two months later). Everybody said ok, and the landlord agreed to drop the rent to 650 for the other girls (325 apiece). Everybody agreed at the meeting. The next day one of the roommates sends an email to my gf saying that she should have to pay the difference in rent each month (150 per month) because their individual rents would go up and that is very unfair and they are not ok with it. I'm like that's dumb because everybody agreed on it at the meeting. not only that, but it's only 75 dollars for each of them per month, or 150 for the whole two months my gf would be out of the lease early. You seriously can't handle an extra 75 per month? give me a break. That's so petty. After some deliberation my gf just agreed to pay it just to keep the civility throughout the year they have to live together now.

    what kind of manual labor? j/w First I ripped out the walls and flooring in the bathroom in the house my dad and stepmom bought for her dad. Linoleum floors = the devil. Then helped put away about 500 light truck tires at my dad's tire shop. and did an oil change and changed the tires on my explorer, but that doesn't really count.
  18. No problem. Sorry it got a little heated. I just don't like feeling like the bad guy.

    Just got back from my week "vacation," although I did more manual labor in that week than I have the last year combined probably. Now it's time for the new job to start tomorrow.......
  20. Sure it's possible. I bet over there they don't have rules like the US does about not breaking the sound barrier around cities, though.
  21. what sub(s) are going in there? With 100 sq. inches of port it needs to be 28 inches long. That will give you 6.4 cubes net, port displacing 1.75 cubes. That leaves .42 cubes for sub displacement. That'll work if you're going for two 15's. If this is for one 18 you can shorten the port to 27 inches and you'll have .3 cubes left for sub displacement and 6.6 cubes of net volume.

    Build it and they will come. You shall be blessed with topless women dancing on it. Ahh, the blessings are welcome kind sir. there are sorority girls living all around the house, so pictures will be posted if it happens and I'm around. that's about all most sorority girls are good for in my book. There were a bunch of loud annoying 19 year old sorority girls behind us at the Royals game saturday. They were all "Kappa gamma delta, whooo!" and "OMG, like, wait, what? OMG, he's sooo hot" and one time girl 1 - what are we doing after the game? girl 2 - "Let's do something fun." Wow. great idea. No, let's do something boring! and they were all unattractive too. The dudes that were with them didn't say a word the whole game. I don't blame them. But I did get to follow THE nicest pair of legs I've ever seen all the way out of the stadium and into the parking lot. They were magical.
  23. Yeah I've heard that's best too. There is some technical jargon for why but I forget. Wiring coils in series/parallel does make a difference in Le I believe (series has higher Le). But I wouldn't change everything else up just for that.
