Nope, not my generation

Being retarded is the new "cool"

I don't see why you'd want a "simple" bass and treble function when you can adjust crossover points and slopes lol

Mine too, I'm not near my manual so I can't refer to that.

Xmax and SPL really don't go hand in hand..

Electrical tape, heatshrink, or tech-flex

dB-r is Sundown's official repair center, Chris does great work.

I'd guess as much.

The stock xmax for the Gen 2's WAS 18...till you has hixmax coils and it ups it quite a but.

Apparently it's a full grown man

BTL any day of the week

I like the pink sticker

Big bad SSA

I looked at the khaotic enclosures, and they are super nice. But, the only 12" ported box they have is 2.50 CuFt. I am not sure that will work with the specs of my subwoofer? What do you think? 2.5 cubes is on the large side, so if you decide you want a Khaotik Enclosure you can put some wood in there to displace some airspace.

Well, to be honest, i know very little about how and why a certain enclosure performs the way it does. I mentioned that i would be using a 1.75 cuft ported enclosure tuned to between 32 and 36hz because that is what is recommended for the sub. I would love to learn more about how to read the parameters of a particular subwoofer and make a custom box specifically for it. I have been doing some research, but it is still "sinking in to the brain" if you know what i mean. Since i have a trunk car, i was planning on having the subwoofer and port rear firing toward the back of the car. Does it make a difference which way the port is facing, ie. the side of the trunk or the back? Should i trust that the sub should be placed within a 1.75 cuft ported box just because that is what the website says? I am planning on having a shop build me a custom box for the woofer. I think that might be safer due to my poor wood working skills. It appears that i can have one built for about $125 from a dealer who sells primarily sundown audio gear. I have attempted box building before, i had a 15" AQ SD2.5, and i was not pleased with it even though i built it to the specs suggested by AQ. Most likely an error on my part during the build. What advice can you offer in this area? Thank you ahead of time for your input! It just takes time, if it makes you feel better about your woodworking skills, AQ and DD style woofers sound like poo, they are only made for loud. For your enclosure, it depends on the shape of your trunk, however normally having the woofer firing back, towards your trunk lid and the port facing the side of the trunk performs the best, it takes testing, sometimes woofer and port forward into the cabin sealed off from the trunk works best, and other variations. Before you have the shop build your enclosure, post it up here so we can make sure everything is right. It's all too common for people to blame a woofer for not performing, when the enclosure is the limiting factor.

So could this be a crossbreed of some sort? That's the only way it's gonna happen, it looks like an RE MT motor with a Fi recone. It's no BTL.

Fi does have black baskets, but they don't use them on their Fi or AA branded woofers.

You can spend 10K on the "best" equipment, install it wrong and be stomped on by someone who spent 1K. Tell us about your enclosure, that will make or break your sub system.

Hmm, not even a BTL motor. What a douche.

Setting by DMM is not very correct, yes the forum gives you a number to set your amplifier to but it's a guess at best.

Keeping it simple:

Mmmm top plate
