ok thanks!

Thanks alot shizzzon, I'll see what I can find. could you possible give me a ballpark on what a 12 footer 24 inch dia. would cost?

I look at it this way. Think of it as a garbage can, when you crawl inside and push on it, you get an eliptical effect on the can. but thats only 2 poimts of pressure. well a subwoofer has infinite amounts of pressure points (pushes evenly on all sides), so when a sub hits you get a equal pressurization along all points. If I put a circle brace in the center with steel rods in the form of a triangle atound the inside dia., I feel that a .5 inch wall thickness will be sufficient.

Using a volume calculator, it comes to 24" x 24" if the tube is 1/2" thick. I will be making a floor in the back. So there should be enough room. Oh by the way, I thought about making it dual round ports on the side so it looks like a ROCKET! That may very well be true! "chuckle"

Hi ladiess and gents, I have been thinking about my next subwoofer enclosure. To be a little different and it sounds to be a fun project, I wanna try and build a sonotube enclosure. Has anyone here had any experiance with them, good or bad? I also scoured the web and I can't seem to find prices or anywhere that sells sonotubes by the foot. Are there other names they go by? I am getting an 18 nightshade so there will be bracing and all that stuff. I'm looking to get a 24 inch dia. tube to keep the length down. Thanks.

Hi guy, I really like what you have done! Would it be possible to get any song other than rap? Maybe like Metalllica "low man lyric" to see/feel the kick drum. Or methods of Meyhem "Get naked". Damn that song has the low lows!

N I G H T S H A D E.............

Hi fellas, I am aquiring an 18 Nightshade that needs to be reconed. My question is, does the recone kit come with the glue and shims? If not where can I get them. I thought I'd post this since Jacob has been so busy. Thanks guys!

Hey crash, In my experience, I have used Pioneer, Sony, Kenwood and JVC and Alpine. To date I have a Pioneer that has all the sound options I could want. I think a good starting place for you would be to go to crutchfield.com where you can imput your car and they will recommend you a player and if it fits in your ride. you can also select from various brands to get exactly what your looking for. Hope this helps a little.

what is the song on the first 15 seconds of this vidreo? Is it just a made up intro or a full song. I'd love to rock it in my ride!

Um, so are you buying them? Or do I have a chance at gettin one. If I do edgar please pm me.

Thanks man, I haven't personally heard either of those in person. I think a few people use them in the metro which is a couple hours from me. (I live in the boonies). I don't think I'll need another one as I am not gonna be competeing for spl and I don't think 2 will fit without a wall. I'll have to shop around for the BTL. Anyone else have ideas or comments?

Hi folks, after a long f'd up process trying to figure out what was wrong with my tarantula amp. I decided to trade a dude for his autotek mean machine 3000.1 (before maxxonics bought them). Anyhow, that amp is only 2 ohm stable bridged. Therefore, I can only run 1 of my Ti Elite 12's (dual 4ohm). It simply is not enough output. So I thought about it and decided that The happiest I was, was when I had an 18 Cerwin Vega circa 1998. After selling my last Elite, I will have roughly $400 for an 18. I decided to make my car a 2 door and take the rear seats out and put the box back there. I don't want to wall it off.....yet. So I should have plenty of room for whatever Driver I choose. I have it narrowed down between a Fi BL or a SSA Xcon. would it be better to get a dual 1ohm and run the full 3000 watts (rms) or get a dual 2ohm and run 1500 watts to either driver? I play alot of different kinds of music from metal/rap/instramental/bass. I looked at the box desig for the xcon. what would be the best recommended box size? To sum up? Budget $400 1: better driver for my needs 2: what ohm configuration 3: optimal box design for my music type Thanks for the input!

what year impala?

No offense taken! Any and all comments/info welcome. I am not going to compete so I don't need/want a peaky box. Right now I have a sealed to spec. box. I like the way it sounds but I want a little more output. Going with the 28hz recommendation from the factory has a steep drop off at 34hz and a 7db attenuation at 20z. If I tune my box to 20hz, I get flat till 40 hz and a 3db drop at 20 hz. Wouldn't that be better for reproducing music accurately?
