thats good to know...but nick said he'd have to talk to scott, and i'd have to send it in, because evedintly theres different 3hp motors...

Is a claw basket the same depth as the standard basket that Fi uses? That is critical in getting the voice coil centered vertically in the magnetic gap.-Robert i don't know the height. i haven't got it yet. i'm kinda waiting to see what i can do as far as recones go before i purchase a motor that i can't recone...or is gonna be ungodly expensive. i guess i'd have to pic up a basket too? i don't know what the fi baskets are but in the pic this 3hp has 6 bolts...

i'm getting a 3hp motor w/ a claw basket. do you have to change baskets? could you just get a recone to go w/ the claw basket?

i got a 18 ssd w/ flatwound coil. i've heard that the flatwound could take more power...how much is more, how much could i safely throw at it? whats the diff between the copper and the aluminum, sound/power wise?

how bout me?? mikelnalley @ yahoo.com

if you got the room...my favorite box for was 6.5ft.

i doubt you'll even notice that big of a difference between those 2 boxes. i'd do the 6ft @ 30 w/ 90 like kent suggested...

try something super low like mike suggested, say 14Hz. i tried it at 32Hz and it just had an ugly peak.

well i had the sub in my car for a little bit. but it was ported. i thought it did a great job. i took turns T4 and the RL-s. since they were both 12's and i could give them both 800 watts (the T4 @ 2ohm and the RL-s @ 4ohm) i thought the T4 was louder. . . off the given power. in my sisters car i think its just the fact that its not really a sealed box sub. i'm gonna put some ports in there probably this weekend. i'll let you know how it turns out. i bet it sounds a lot better.

overall i'm happy w/ it. i scuffed the paint in a couple places putting it in. and the frickin sub is crooked! it was such a tight fit, once i got it in and realized it was crooked, there was no way i was getting it out w/o breaking something. it sounds pretty good, i'm not a big fan of sealed, not enough output for me, but its loud enough for her. what do you think?

thats not the final product..... well all thats left now is to install it later today p.s. i learned today NEVER get krylon clear. it blows!!!

well all i got to do now is clear it and throw it in

here is some primered pics...i'm almost done

definatly power hungry! lets see some pics

you wouldn't even believe how good it sounds! the bass is just so clean and tight now! it will pound all the way to the high 20's up to...well i got it crossed over @ 100, but i'm sure it would go higher. i've never had a box w/ such a flat responce. every note is almost the same volume. its cool cause now it doesn't fade out as it gets higher. but on the down side i need to redo my front stage now, its starting to get drown out. i was thinking about getting an amp that does 200x2 @ 2ohm and running a pair of RE comps. but i had always hated bandpass becaus of the crappy reputation prefab boxes have. but this totaly changed my mind!

here is a lot more pics.....i still need to carpet it, and cut the "trim" pieces. and i still have to make a cover piece for the amps. i'm just gonna cut some wood and carpet it and flush mount the amps in an amp wall

i thought it was broke later that day i fired it up to show a friend, and found out the noise was because i had it sitting on the pole vent. once i lifted it up the noise went away

here is a little vid of her sub free air off my amp http://www.realmofexcursion.com/videos/Sou...ream/t412.1.wmv

i'll take some better pics later...but all i can say is WOW!!!!

boy did i want to :ph34r: and i bet that female dog would of took it for a while too...

you don't have to tell me any of this. but hey, its her birthday, so...whatever
