Fluids need to be checked on a regular basis. At the very least once a week. Battery connections at least once a month. Just saying Certainly from now on lol. I got lax, my blazer never had an issue from purchase to accident. New fuse, and gasket and my friend is driving it home as I type this

We didn't even realize it was leaking til yesterday. Not smoking and never even heated up past normal. Checked oil less than a month ago. The reserve was -empty-

The 70a main is blown, and we're thinking valve cover gasket. It's in the shop now, my buddies aunt offered to foot the bill, beats frozen hands.

We alsp found oil leaking, under one of the spark plug connectors. Just one though, other three are clean. No oil in the reserve. Started smelling what I thought was clutch three days ago but it was shifting fine.

Would that even prevent a push start? We are trying to get kerosene to heat the garage, cold fingers make pulling them super hard.

No crank, no luck with push start, it's a 5sp stick, drove it earlier several times, half tank of gas, but now it's dead dead. Not even a jump helped, our clock won't even come on. Just got a job interview today, hired, and need to figure this out by Monday or it goes up in smoke Any ideas? Had it for three months.

I've heard those woofers prefer a higher tuning across the board

What are you even trying to compare? We need goals to be able to help you achieve anything lol

Im all for keeping it simple. Less equipment to buy means more in the wallet lol. Would a ported eight on axis be able to produce punchy midbass and clean midrange against 5kw? Three ways are a little daunting, I admit that lol. I've been looking at a lot of Morel stuff lately, but I've never heard any of their stuff. I haven't seen anything more than Alpine, Pioneer, etc locally. Is it asking a bit much to get tens in the kicks of a tahoe?

Can you explain a little more on why horns in a three way is no good? I was under the impression that the waveguide helped to reduce the amount of power needed to reach the desired listening level. Well, and it affects frequency response

Would a three way allow me to get louder while still sounding clean? I have always assumed that's the benefit of having a driver per frequency range as opposed to two drivers or a singer driver.I want SQ at lower levels, but clean clear vocals and tight midbass at high levels. I am thinking a pair of PPI 900.4s to power the front stage.

I ultimately want a high output build capable of hairtricks but still participate in an SQ comp. Maybe not first place, but you get the idea

I have never owned an SSA woofer, however in the several years since I joined SSA (I was a freshman in highschool, i'm 21 going on 22) I have yet to hear a bad review about their woofers. Have wanted an icon for about forever. In fact, was finally going to jump on one but I came across my FI for only 250 so I snagged it instead and some components.

I intend to end up with a pair of SHD's OR four tridents. I'm not going to go all out to begin with. I currently have a btl18 which will leave the truck for other stuff once I decide SHD or Tridents. Sorry for the confusion. I only want to build my front stage once.

I'm trying to come up with an idea for front stage that can keep up with four eighteens and sound clean and crystal clear doing so. Imaging as accurate as possible. I've heard many times that multi speaker setups throw staging out the window, for example, six eights in your door. I'm ideally picking up a tahoe, as opposed to another blazer like I originally planned, and while I'm waiting I'm drawing up plans for the next build. Once things settle down and the truck is paid off I'm thinking of reconing the btl to a 12 for a smaller project and getting either an SHD 24 or two Tridents. I wasnt happy with the front stage in the blazer, my alpine comps were easily drowned by the BTL. I've only seen one person do a three way with a single speaker per frequency range, a fifteen a ten and a super tweeter, which made me wonder, if I were to do something similar, a twelve or a fifteen for midbass, an eight for midrange and horns under the dash, would I have any chance to have a nice stage, or image or am I simply keeping up with the bass at that point?

I hate having the baffle slowly worn out from swapping woofers and such. The box I got with my btl has like four or five different sets of mounting holes. If it comes out again, it's pretty much ragged.

Fade it from left to right and see if the bass comes back.

Out of phase? (polarity is reversed)

Looking forwards to this build

I have such a want for a pair of Team's or Evils as a HT sub. Mmmmm. I need to get more space. And money o.o

-edit double-

Look, if you want a bandpass, build a bandpass. If you want to know what the experienced members think will work, then the forum is here to help you. Sounds like you're caught on novelty, so maybe you just need to see for yourself. It's happened to me before, so I get it lol. Bandpasses seemed like the shit for the longest time. But think of it like this, when you intentionally restrict airflow with the sealed side how could you be louder than an equivalent ported box with less math, effort, and practice?

Hearing some of your explanations, along with the other heavyweights on the site can be a bit daunting It's commonplace to you, while we're left to decipher an answer lol

It's like all the buttons you never use on a calculator ^^^
