why do you think ported over sealed for SQ?

traffic and idiot drivers make me:

pictographs?

lick my taint

I just took 'em to my friend's shop, and he had CarQuest pick 'em up.

dropped my control arms off at the machine shop today should get 'em back tomorrow with new bushings/balljoints

motherfucker, it's still 107 god damn degrees outside

By some space constraints I think you stuck with sealed. IMO they sound way better sealed though, but I am also far from a basshead. The real question is how much space do you have? *a single RLi8 ported takes way more space than an RLP sealed. WAY i have two drivers and 37.5 x 11 x 11 to work with Sealed is your only choice. I'd shoot for .4cuft per driver. well since i got two and 600w should work out 600w to the pair? you could go even bigger than 0.4 each with that little power and be fine

They were originally in about 0.25 cube each with about 450w rms each. Definitely lacked low end. Now they're in about 0.35-0.4 cube each with the gain on the 1500D all the way down. The low end is there now and they sound quite good.

sounds like you got to oogle a cool car, that's accomplishing something

niiiiice

9:40 MWF and 9:15 TTH way too fucking early

Brown residue means it was the asphalt version. They've improved it so it falls off cleanly now Well, atleast they're making improvements.

Man, you are trying to speed this whole thing up aren't you There are no current standards and actually none being developed. The industry really only cares about TL which there are 3+ different standards As to your variation question, lets ignore this one until we decide on a fixture and then I can actually test the differences. With the right fixture and chosen media we should be able to work around it. Fixturing is to measurements what location is to real estate. Typically the SAE guys are most interested in areas below 400hz. I can't easily model anything. I am an FEA noob, but I can load an FE model into the vibrometer and make measurements and verify a model is right easily. A simple piece of metal however is a very easy thing for someone with any FE experience to whack out. I have a 3D scanning vibrometer, meaning I can measure X,Y,Z vibration and then scan the laser across the surface with a high point density. Regularly this is used to verify FE models as well as measure experimentally. Most definitely we can abstract this to the real world. Everyday the automotive manufacturers do. It is also very easy to compare the damped and undamped measurements. I'm taking an intro to FEA class this semester. If we cover anything that I think would be useful, I'll be sure to let you guys know.

I do.

oooo yeahh
