Hang in there Bro!

Tuned in, Nice choice on the Xcon

What I learned? Throw tons of power to a woofer at tuning, til you reach xmax. (match car and box peak frequency).

Thanks bro, gives me a bit to think about tonite

In terms of a front stage, I like the very-highs. Like, the crisp sound of a good set of tweeters. Not harsh and loud, but clean sounding. As for mids, i don't like having the midrange too strong, i don't kill it entirely, but i keep it low enough so that the highs stand out a little. I like when the midbass has a nice punch to it. I don't feel like i am explaining it well, but as a comparison, i keep my radio at (+/-10): bass (more like midbass) 0, midrange -5, and treble +10. I guess what i am trying to say is, i like the treble a little exaggerated but not overpowering. I was thinking (2) mach5 MLI's and four tweeters. What are some nice tweeters? I like a bright sound, but not harsh and blaring. An Eclipse wouldnt have trouble handling the weight of two 18's, the box and 190lbs of batteries, would it? (either a 99' or an 01')

Bump? I am looking for ideas for a front stage to keep up with two 18" wardens. Looking for effeciency, if i could do one set of comps, that would be great, as i have no experience making pods. All Sundown power.

My bro's car, when he had five Memphis 12's off of ~1800rms, in a half hex box (three facing out, two facing down, into the box) It hit so low, and it moved ALOT of air. Never got it metered, but it messed up his explorer pretty good. The hatch window kept snapping hinges, passenger lock/windows no longer funtioned from outside, driver window didnt roll down, roof made a mean milkshake, and it kinda breathed for you

Bump for Funny-ness.

It's not for quality, it was just for fun. Anyway, i traded it for a blackberry curve, and that for used laptop so i'm happy anyway.

Iodized salt + vinegar + supersoaker = Paint problems

thats funny as hell as in just last week a guy was tellin me tht the mtx jachammers are capable of 300dbs and i was like wtf r u smokin but he wouldnt believe a word i said and for me its prob tommy mckennies truck. I do believe that one event in the history of the earth hit 300dB, krakatoa. After ~190dB it's not classified as sound, it's a shockwave.

I need A job..........

i Thought that the reason ported boxes moved more (h)air, is because in calculating the enclosure and all that jazz (in a comp vehicle) you build the box to make the front wave, and the back wave hit, at a certain point, at the same time. Am i right?

Lolz. There are people who run 4k+ rms with no problems. Its most likely that the box is too big, and it can't mechanically handle all 3000w

The human ear can only hear down to ~22hz And an octave below would be ~12.5hz Other than that, i am interested in T-lines, so i'll shut up and listen .

What's that^^ ???

Why don't you explain to us what a cap does?

Gotta link to it still? reguardless if it did say 18 8's that would be no laughing matter. those sa-8's are for real!!! true

Jake, can you spare any details? It seems scary loud from the vids. Such as ? We have alot of details. 160 @ 34 Hz is the best score so far. whats the tuning? And box volume?

Gotta link to it still? Just search "12 nightshade 18s" on youtube. I can't link to it now, i'm at school.

I was surfin youtube on friday, and i ran across a video of someones red explorer. I thought it said (12) Sundown 8's so i click, expecting a goofy looking setup with a bunch of small woofers, and holy shit, its twelve nightshade 18's in an Explorer, with (6) SAZ-3000d's. Can anyone tell me anything about this setup? I was blown away when i saw it. I was just like, DAMN! Anyone know anything?

Sounds......Wierd...... If thats true stuff, you can buy for dirt cheap, and sell for dirt cheap, and still make bills.
