lol..thnx guys! u know what they say..hehe practice makes perfect.. hehehehaheahha wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

i would definitely agree with that!!! like i have said...these were some of the loudest, while sounding really good, subs i have ever heard! i only want to sell/trade them because they just don't fit into any future plans but who knows? if they don't go......they aren't doing anything but taking up room..hehe wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

i got into installing/building by necessity... i could (until about 5 1/2 years ago) never afford to pay somebody to do it. i bought everything at pawn shops or traded for it or something along them lines. if in the trade no box was included, i built a sealed one. usually out of osb i got for free from where i worked. i knew nothing of impedence or series wiring or parallel wiring, hell everything i did was parallel and bridged..lol...could never understand why amps would shut off as to h/u's and speakers, that was trial and error..i had a basic knowlege of vehicle wiring, so figuring out what was hot and what wasn't was never hard (of course i love todays install harness'...i liken them to duct tape!! one of the greatest ideas/inventions ever!) so wiring in h/u's wasn't to big of a deal. of course, eventually i learned how to builf vented boxes, match impedence and general knowledge. i still don't know much about t/s parameters or real techy stuff..but hey, i'm still learning. and that is the most important thing...be smart enough to know when you don't know enough, and always learn from those who are! wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

sweet install man urs? very well done.. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

and finally... i love this thing it's truly a monster sub..and plays that way too!!! this is a pic of the amp(in box) that is currently pushing her wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

the beer bottle size comparison.. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

wooowhooooo....another..hehe wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

and another..hehe.. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

here's a few pics of my new baby before i installed her.... wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

the chair is my wife's..hehe...mine is of the high back variety!! both are leather, is there anything else? and tirefryer.... :boxin: <-----at first...... :punch: <------round two...... lol..j/k u can always buy them!! wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

hehe..behind her back?? :ph34r: i'd like to stay married a little while longer...hehe :thud: even still, she is considering letting me put a screen in, probably will be a panasonic. time will tell.... also..for sure check into soundsplinter 10's...they are monsters in their own right!.. and i believe would make a great addition to any vehicle..( a pair might find their way into my silverado).. oh yeah.... wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

anytime mike!! thanks for a great product man!! i'll be showing it off tomorrow at a little get together..hehe :ugh: Rl-p wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

i just recently finished the install for this sub (pics in show-off forum<------shameless plug :boink: ) and i gotta say...it is everything advertised and more!! BUILD QUALITY is excellent. looks like a lttle excess glue above the top spider around the former, but i can live with that. same 4 spoke cast basket as many subs including treo and memphis. this thing weighs in at 30 pds...8 pds heavier then one of my treo 15's! all things equal, easily comparable to the best subs out there MUSIC REPRODUCTION WOW, can this thing get low! using a bass mekanics cd, i played everything from test tones to sample tracks. this thing just reproduces adn doesn't quit! it also chase the kick drum of metal around too! very little overhang as the sub keeps up with every knock of bass! clearly a great sq sub! SPL with the factory h/u still in place, this sub is at a disadvantage. as i turn up the volume, the h/u cancels out the bass to protect the factory speakers. even with that against it, the sub is loud. the bass on the h/u is set to 0, the bass boost on the amp is off and the gain is just about 1/3 turned up.....any more on the h/u or gain and the sub KILLS the factory system(until u try to go louder and the protect thing kicks in)which, btw, is the monsoon premium 245watt 7(9 if u count the rear tweets on the 6x9 subs) speaker variety. after i can talk the wife into a aftermarket h/u(preferably with a screen), i believe the sub will be a boomer!! ENCLOSURE is a sealed chamber, aprx 1.25ft^3(might be a touch smaller). it faces backward into the trunk for a little spl gain. i don't really want to make a vented one, but i might throw the sub into a prefab just for a listen. POWER is a hifonics nemesis nx750d. this amp is rated for 750wrms at 1 ohm. that is what i have the sub wired for, so hopefully, that is what it is getting. COST i paid $225 for the sub, including shipping. this is a pre-production run, no logo on the sub and the cost will go up a little soon. msrp is around $490 and i would gladly pay that for it! THE FINAL CALL like i stated earlier..this sub is all that is advertised and then some! it is well worth the money so far and i don't forsee any reason why it shouldn't be in the future. for anyone looking for a great combination sql sub at a great price, i would recommend this sub be put on the list of those shopped. also, mike over at sound splinter is just an awesome guy. he'll answer any and all questions and is a pleasure to talk too! THE RATING (1-5 scale, 5 being the best) build quality is a 5, simply a monster sub sq is a 5, reproduces everything thrown at it..quickly and can get loooooow! spl is a 4, though the box and h/u is holding this down, vented and no restrictions...wow, this thing will/would be a monster value is a 5, for what i paid..i wasn't expecting half of what i got! check out soundsplinter here and holler at mike...u won't be disappointed! wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

and a profile.. yep, they are for sale...holler if ur interested..hehe wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

da back side.. B E A utiful..ain't they??? wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

oughta be loud!! sucks about the sub..kinda...hehe i think socket and in a box!! 60hz and up to 22000 watts(not for sure, based on 200 amp service)....that would be KEWL :pic: :boink: let us watch!! wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

here's afew pics..hehe this are my 15" treo ss's wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

pics are in the show off section... wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

good equipment... now let us know what U think of ur set-up!! :pic: <-----that too!! what's it going in? sealed, ported? info!! get them pics up!! wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

up close..hehe the white marks are where i scratched it putting it in the trunk....hopefully, over labor day, it'll come back out, get slicked up and repainted... also...this thing pounds! considering i still have the factory head unit, which cancels the bass as u turn it up, this combo hits hard. the sub plys low and is extremely responsive! the amp gets a little warm, but i can live with that. all in all, i am happy with my first venture into fiberglass. round two soon..hehe..i still have to put something in my truck!! enjoy and let me know what u think! any suggestions will be appreciated! wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

in the car..finally!!! from a distance..a little bit.. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

front quarter here, u can kinda see how the box part wraps behind the amp part.... wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

from the back quarter yes, i got lazy and didn't fill in the screw holes hehe. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

stare down...all black wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

and the stare down , some paint, some primer the car it's going in is in the background patience, it's almost over...hehe wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
