12" Aeroport Ninety Degree Elbow
What do you mean? Was planning on an internal 12" port, provided I can still find that guy in town to make flares. I don't like how a slot looks plain, I don't know how to do kerfs either.

12" Aeroport Ninety Degree Elbow
I'm looking at piping for a 12" port for my next box; please for fucks sweet sake tell me there's cheaper 90* bends out there than four hundred dollars. I just need a 12" port 48" long to get my tuning. I don't want the box more than 42" wide, so i'm looking for a bend or two this is the kinda stuff i've found so far http://www.lowes.com/pd_574544-1814-PVC+00300A+2200_0__?productId=50114329 http://www.homedepot.com/p/Charlotte-Pipe-12-in-PVC-DWV-Vent-90-Degree-Hub-x-Hub-Elbow-PVC-00300A-2200/203950072?cm_mmc=Shopping%7cTHD%7cG%7c0%7cG-BASE-PLA-D26P-Plumbing%7c&gclid=CIa7vLPw2ssCFQ6maQodb7sJAQ&gclsrc=aw.ds http://www.pvcfittingsonline.com/12-class-125-street-elbow-90-c609-120.html?gclid=CK2Ys8rw2ssCFZGIaQodxQUPoA

Raising the stage above the dash
I had originally ordered pioneer a878 3.5's, instead ordered some fosgate primes. R16-s. 40 bucks for either option lol http://www.rockfordfosgate.com/products/details/r16-s Not particularly a fan of fosgate speakers, mostly just like the 2500bd and the 4000bd. But, they were pocket change so I thought I'd try them. My previous speakers were Sony midbass and dayton amt's. Aside from getting them dirty, learned they like a much higher crossover than my current shit equipment could provide.

Raising the stage above the dash
Made a decision. Canceled my order for the 3.5's and ordered a 6.5" component set instead. I'm going to cut some mdf panels this week, seal my doors up, and order from sds. Then, install the 900.4, ditch the passives and start from there. Still have like a pound of clay left so I'll fuck with positioning until i get the response I want, then I'll revisit achieving sufficient output. Tackling both at once isn't working.

Raising the stage above the dash
Nonono, not for my car lol, i mean for a garage speaker, or kitchen speakers. Like I said, off topic lol I like when the speakers cant be found with your eyes closed. Like the singer is singing to you, not at you from various places in the car. I don't like harsh tweets, i like a neutral sound better; i LOVED my amt tweets but was a little careless with them and got a buncha shit in the foil. I like sharp tight midbass, that you can feel in your chest, i HATE muddy/boomy mids. I listen to everything between rap, jazz, metal, country (blow me), dub, so i can't have a set that favors a particular range. Cosmetics have never mattered as much as functionality. Ever. Ugly and pristine sounding is fine by me.

Raising the stage above the dash
interested in them for fun, they are so stupid cheap, seen a few projects on PE that looked fun if I could do them on a budget like that. Nobody i know personally can tell shit from high end so it makes for easy gifts. Im getting my a pillars done this summer, i have plenty of time to change the equipment list. I know WHAT i want, but I'm crashing and burning trying to get there. I'll mount fried chicken on my a pillars if it gets me the sound i want lol

Raising the stage above the dash
Any reason you'd stay away from coaxials as the full range? I just ordered a pair of Pioneer a878's to play with with change off some amazon cards, was kinda excited to see how they do. I can't remember the context, I just remember someone else asking this same question, however i'm not sure it was the same application as i'm after here. If a standard driver is better for this purpose, i'd like to try some daytons, i've always been happy with my dayton products in the past, price point is hard to argue with too. Off topic, but have you messed with GRS speakers?

Raising the stage above the dash
a pair of 3.5's and a pair of 8's should be plenty of output to keep up with my 18 at reasonable to moderate volumes with 100rms/ch on tap, yeah? I've pretty much accepted that there isn't a way to keep up at full tilt as far as midbass goes, I would just like a decent volume range. I'm very conflicted on deadening anything but the doors because of the condition of my truck, but I can't stand how loud my minimum listening volume is sometimes (to cover road noise). I really didn't expect substage to be the easiest and cheapest part of my systems when I got into this hobby, ugh. I could always gut this when I scoop the avi and move all the deadener and pods over. Idfk, i'm overwhelmed with audio for the day. Looks like i'll have to iron some of it out with the minidsp first and get back to this.

I'm trying to get the sound to seem like its coming from over the steering wheel, like the singer is on the hood of the car ish Sorry for all the typos Cracked my phone last night

Raising the stage above the dash
Open to all suggestions, as I'm pulling my hair out trying to combat this, and I'm not sure where to attack first, as aiming is only helping partly For reference, i drive a 98 mountaineer (ford Explorer) I can't get vocals to come from above the dash withtweets at the A pillar and 6.5's in the factory locations. I REALLY dont want my tweeters in my doors. It looks awful on my doors. The best luck i had was with a pair of 4" noname coaxials up on the dash aimed at the dome light, from 350hz up, midbass 50-350 and the 18 from fifty down. I have time alignment currently, and am lining up to replace my HU as well as add in a MiniDSP, but for now, i want to get this answered before i buh anything else. Ive heard some people catch flak for using coaxials in a three way (I'm guessjng because it means you're limited on your m-t xover point) , so my question is, what's the simplest way to bring my stage up? I am fine with passive, or active. Ill even try three way active, but id like to keep the number of variables down for now, as aiming is kicking my ass. , the better i get with audio, the more i realize i dont know.

Would anyone advise against a pair of Interstate 8d cells? I can get them for <200 a piece less than a mile and a half from my house. Interstate distro center I hear mixed reviews, lots of RV owners hate them, but other applications listed them as great

If I had the $$$ I'd like a nice bright yellow Singer 370a though.

So nevermind, it's dead dead. I don't even feel like getting it repaired to be honest, after flipping it over in my hands these past few days, it sure does feel like an 80 dollar amp. I am reckless and clumsy, I would like something more durable. Shorting it out was solely my fault, not taramps, but the device feels flimsy. cheap knobs, and loose RCA's, and I can't get a straight answer as to whether or not my speaker terminals are actually supposed to be a phoenix connector (which it is) or traditional screw downs!

My taramps still works. I connected it to the battery directly last night to be sure it was broken, mostly because I was bored but it powers on just fine. ??????

Voltmeter is in, solid 14.4 at listening volumes,nothing below 13.8 as long as it's a steady note. Huge kicks can drop it to 12.4
