well, i'm off to wire the TB...yay!! rl-s installed today!! see ya!! wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

good morning today i go wire the trailblazer (leaving very soon) and runt he rl-s thru it's paces a bit...will try to get it on the TL some too... wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

T.O.P. beyotchesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss i>j0o wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

i see some of you have found my rl-s pic thread (justin, your just jealous..lol..have you have is a silly mag...lol).. testing will start tomorrow... wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

good morning wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

ok, tomorrow...i'm going to wire the trailblazer tomorrow! amp is ready (orion 2500d, wired at 3.5ohm nominal= 1400wrms or so and a 2.5ft^3 tuned to 28hz enclosure all ready to go...) so testing starts then... as far as stains on the rl-s tom, well.....muhahahahahaha wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

hey guys, pics up in the SS forum... and i gotz to go to work...yay!! bastages.. got a new camera today....but i'll talk about it later... wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

yep, got the rl-s yesterday..hopefully will be playing with it by wednesday... what did fed ex drop off??? the RL-s in all it's splendid glory!! beefy is the only words to describe this sub...along with B-E-A-UTIFAL!! and with the RL-s in a nice family photo, my d2 12"RL-p and my d4 8"RL-i. the RL-s kinda makes them look small..lol... but isn't it just the sexiest trio of subs?? i can't wait to run the rl-s side be side with the rl-p. i will also try a lightning audio x2 12" and maybe a memphis mojo 12. run all 4 head to head... wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Well, BBP 6 does calculate a slot port accurately given the way the program does model it within the Box Volume Displaced by the Port parameters. However, within those parameters, it has to be specified what the thickiness of the material being used noted by input " B ". The Box Volume Displaced by the Port parameters are not making any assumptions here, they are performing the function properly based on the manner which the program was written to calculate either a round or slot port not to include any part of the enclosure itself. So, like a round port which is calculated to lenght based on the volume, diameter & tuning frequency, a slot port is calculated in the same manner as if it were a separate part installed. Now, given that the majority of the time when we design ported enclosure's using slot ports, we're going to use the top, bottom, side & back for part of the slot port walls. This leave's us with only having to determine the final port wall or walls that make up the rest of the slot port which we have to figure out their displacement which changes the parameters of the enclosure design. LB ( Lord Baccus ) asked me this question awhile back when he was trying to figure out a slot ported design in BBP 6 and his calculations were getting totally throw off because he could not understand which parameters within the program were causing the conflicting issue's. Rather than trying to explain it to him, he sent me his BBP 6 design and I sent him back my BBP 6 design of the same enclosure and referenced those parameters within the program to show the errors within the formula, once he saw both designs side by side, he got it just like that. Your are totally correct, when designing slot ports within BBP 6, you have to totally zero out the parameters in the Box Volume Displaced by the Port parameters and use the Box Volume Displaced by Miscellaneous Objects to properly calculate the slot port parameters to account for both the Port Displacement and Port Wall Displacements. Granted, it's a royal PITA to calculate the slot port parameters accurately because you have to constantly re-adjust all the other parameters but I've discovered a few tweaks and using a calculator I created in EXCEL, I've reduced the amount of effort I need to apply for designing slot ported boxes in BBP 6 and in turn allow me to build enclosure's with a greater degree of satisfactory results in terms of bass response and performance once the customer recieves and installs the enclosure. We all agree that the other factors involved after the sub/enclosure are installed are going to skew the bass response/performance, none of us can deny that unknown element. Phil Woodlawn Cabinetry ( NOT KENT ) that's jsut what i was referring too, but i didn't put it so nicely, lol. you'll get used to me like that. and, btw, i'm Kent. nice to meet ya Phil! wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee:slayer:

the biggest downside to bb6p is that is doesn't figure slot ports accurately, as it pertains to the port's displacment. it also assumes you are going to build the port seperately and not use a wall as part of the port...you have to tweak the program a bit to get it close. otherwise, i'm extremely happy with bb6p and the results it's given me..however, i agree with ryan. while it will indeed give you an idea, one should not wholey rely upon it's graphs...unless you want to take the time to map out the frequency response of your vehicle so that the graph's can use the vehicle response as well. even then, i won't just assume that the bb6p graphs are 100% accurate. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

now to catch up in the rest of the forum and head off to work... wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

finally, got caught up...whew... wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

my boxes will be at dbdrag finals, lol, if they are loud enough..lol..but not me usaci, i would love to go, but that's too far ahead, and work has us going 7 days a week right now... wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

IB? are u kidding?? lol....i don't have a trunk...hehe.. as to AP, i have no experience...and as of right now, no time for building. i wish i did, that sounds like a plan..but between work and helping a competitor friend trying to find a 156, i'm just a tad overworked (gotta throw in the boy's football team as well) anyway, i wish i could help.... wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

that does indeed look good!! wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

justin, all u missed was some loser trying to post links to gay sites...welp, that ain't happening in this forum.. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

i like... ugly=loud!! i need another battery ... wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

howdy... and the gay thread, well, it got as did the starter...that person is forever under moderation, meaning we have to approve any and all posts they might make before they get put up...(if only i had the power to ban..lol...) thanks supa for the link...glad i could be of service.. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

My g/f used to get pulled over all the time because she looked underage to be drivering. They'd make up stupid excuses like "your tail light was out" and whatnot. But, she happens to be Native American....so maybe we should call that racial profiling aswell. The white man's been keeping them down ever since they came and stole their land !!! Fudge whitey, Redskin Power !! No, I think it's because she was underage You dirty, dirty man. i'm with jim on this... u dirty, dirty man.... (hey, wanna hook a brother up?) wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

the fishman's are cheap at PE... i say get the fishman's from PE. the only grilles are boring.. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

u know we will! wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

someone asked for a$s shots??? the 15" mag proto... and a few more....u guess the subs... that is all..... wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

i'd recommedn the rl-i and here's why.. that dayton is optimized for h/t use, hence the hint at needing a large enclosure. while i'm sure it'll work just fine in car, that's not what it was built for. the rl-i was. and it'll go low without a huge box. my rl-i8 getts extremely low in just .17ft^3 sealed in h/t use. it's an amazing little woofer. in the end, it's up to you. while i won't dog dayton's quality or sound, i doubt PE will keep with mike's customer service. and i really believe the rl-i will more then hold it's own against the larger dayton. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

i gotta second the eclipse recommendation..and the model i have isn't even that fancy, cd3434, but it's the best hu i've had in my truck. that being said, my alpine cda7894, was an awesome piece of equipment. i had zero problems with it as well. it had time alignment, but only four channel IIRC, and better xovers then my eclipse. but it still takes second place because of the flashiness and the eclipse is alot more user friendly... wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
