Damn it's cold. 20*, 13* wind chill. By far the coldest temp of the year so far. High of 39* both today and tomorrow. ugh.

And these are better. http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?Partnumber=275-030 FWIW, I have Peerless silks (forget the model number) in my surrounds at home and I like them better than the Dayton Classics that I have up front in my LCR channels. But then again I have not listened to either driver in question. I like Dayton products as well, don't get me wrong.

Actually there won't be any cancellation because the rear wave would be separated from the front. It would be some sort of abomination where you would only get response where the sub is moving, which is not around tuning. So I think basically it would be like putting a subsonic filter on the sub about 10 hz above the tuning frequency of the port.

Having positive and negative backwards doesn't cause any problems for the speaker. In fact I wired one of my mids backwards on purpose so that the phase would be better for where I sit. Try hooking the sub amp RCAs into the Sony amp, and vice versa hooking the sony amp RCAs into the sub amp. But with engine noise it's usually a grounding problem. If you scrape the paint from under the amp ground, head unit ground, and the main battery ground and it's still there, try switching grounding spots for both the amp and head unit.

Shit I'm late to bed AGAIN.

What? Speak english man!

That must be popular, my friend was just in a no shave thing last month at work. He got 2nd place I guess.

You are obviously a listener. Get ready for every woman you meet to tell you something that you aren't really sure you wanted to know. Ha, that I am. When you grow up with a stutter, you listen instead of talk.

Perhaps a change in station is appropriate No way, I love that song!

If you're doing a blowthrough with a ported box you want that hole to be as large as possible. If you make it small you're running into the same problem people with cars have in trying to get sound through the back deck. And what do many of them do? Cut holes in the deck. If you're going to cut the thing, there's really no difference between a 10" x 20" hole or a 20" x 40" hole. Either way you'd still have to do something big to cover it up or fix it if/when you got rid of the truck. If you've decided on the blowthrough for sure, do it right. If you only cut holes for the ports to enter the cab you don't have a ported box, you have a bandpass box with basically the hole truck bed acting as the sealed chamber of the bandpass.

I'm not sure what deep rumble you're talking about with the music you listen to. I'd choose the 8s. A friend of mine's dad put four 8s in a sealed box behind his backseat in his silverado. Can't remember if it was crew cab or just extended cab though.

Sounds like you're working your electrical system too hard. The squealing belt may be from added resistance from a component in the belt loop, probably the alternator. Which the alternator on those things is dumb small, like 70 amps. So don't be surprised if your alternator kicks the bucket before long. The fuses may be popping because the car's voltage drops too far and the amp starts sucking more amps to make up the power difference, thus overloading the fuses. You may have also already damaged the amp from undervoltage. Quick fix: Turn it down. Try the amp in another car and see if it still does it.

Are you already set on the amp you want in the future? There are plenty of 2000 watt @ 2 ohms amps out there. Dual 1 coils are still a possibility if they work better with your current amps, especially if you have no exact time frame of when you are getting the new amp (ie- maybe small possibility it might not happen for a long while).

I forgot to ask this question earlier, but did you play the system a lot with the car off, thus sorta draining the battery often? I think Expeditions should all have at least a 130 amp alternator, which is enough for that system. But most batteries don't take too kindly to being drained too many times.

I don't think you have enough for ported. 6.25 cubes before any displacements, and the subs will take up the .25 and the port likely at least .5 if you use aeros, probably up to 2 with a slot port. Oh and there's no problem with running them in the same chamber. I always have.

Wow been a week since I've been in here. A lady friend and I were in sharing mode yesterday and she told me she had been raped three years ago. God dammit that's 3 girls I know of now, 5 if you count the girl that lived a couple doors down from me last year that got raped while we lived there and one that did in my dorm freshman year, though I never met either. Fucking rapists.

What distribution block are you using?

How old was the battery? BTW, all capacitors are overpriced.

Try them both and use the one that sounds best. What voice coils do those subs have?

Gonna be a long day at work because almost nobody will be there, and I'll just be watching the clock until I get to start my 3 hour drive to my hometown.

I'm afraid there is no way that a port only 9" long will tune that enclosure to 28 hz.

No

Oh yeah, forgot to add that I just drill a hole through my boxes and run the wire straight through then seal up the hole.

I am happy for you and sad at the same time. Haha. Well it sounds better if I add that I had my last gf for over 3 years, hence the no first in a long time. Ha.

The small wire had nothing to do with this issue. If the wire was too small it would have melted, not the terminal. The terminal just wasn't up to snuff.
