BTW, I haven't used any decoupler material yet for my drivers. Might be a good idea to pull the mids & throw something on the frame sometime though.

Deadener is only mass loading. Not a very good decoupler. At the very least, some high density or closed cell foam would work.

How much should I be charging for enclosure building? After this weekend, I've had at least 3 inquiries.

My winter audio project will be Fostex wideband drivers & rear loaded horns enclosure.

Were they hot at all ? Ive been wanting to get some but the passive cooling on them doesnt look like its all that great. Hot? Depends on how hot is hot to you. Shut off? Nope. An efficient heatsink design should get warm... that is the purpose.

Haven't been to class in a couple years

Your good, my good, & someone else's good can very different.

I ran my system for a couple hours last night, at pretty decent volume, and didn't even drop below 11.5V lol PDX's are efficient bastards.

Real world?

Door location depth is pretty lacking in those cars isn't it? I didn't mind the Aura Whisper install in the dash one guy on DIYMA did.

Those are the only ones I have seen.

2.8ft^3 each is the smallest I would use. I had one in ~2.3ft^3 and it was just too small.

I guess I need a center channel & rear speakers... according to some people around here. Ya... right!

All of July was oppressively hot, and all of August has been cool, and raining for the last 10 days

Its just starting Going to a car show in a bit... really cold today though (53F), and threatening rain.

car: 2003 Nissan Sentra Spec V Electrical: Stock Alt & battery Amps: Alpine PDX1.600, pushing ~ 300-350W Subs: 1 - 15" Exodus Audio XJ15 Box: The world Mic: TL Tone: 25-35 Hz sweep, peaked at 32Hz Score: 133.6 on the dash

Depends, how much of the vehicle do you plan on doing?

Might be a good idea to stick with a Class D amplifier, for efficiency sake. Budget? You need ~1k @ 1ohm.

Deadening was ok (although, how is he going to get the bass into the cabin?) & picked good equipment. The mold of the spare tire well looks like he poured a gallon of resin on top then pushed it around with a brush for a couple minutes & called it a day.... then the top piece is only resin & grill cloth LOL

Yes, it is the same. That is what I use too.

gained 7hp on the Spec V with just a header.

Tweets are excellent... good passive crossovers. Mids leave lots to be desired in the midbass department (as almost all 2-way passive sets do).

Did a shits & giggles run on the TL today. 133.6 @ 32Hz on the dash on 300-350W. LOL
