  1. Yeah people at work are always asking for advice in car audio.... I give them a price for what they want subs/instillation wise and they bring up something thas not even within the same level they want for less.
  2. For the 4runner? I'd fire at the rear gate r push them as far back as possible, mount the drivers as far back as possible and fire up. I thought they were in a pickup.........I might be behind the power curve though. J Yes this is for the 4runner. I am thinking box right behind the back seat firing toward the rear gate and mounting the amps on the floor between the subs and gate. I am going to sell the F150. Nem You need to go ported! I gave it a thought, but I would rather stay sealed. I just like how 18's sound sealed. I think you'll love them ported too though!
  3. WOOOOSH comes to mind
  4. What? We suggested a superior product over an inferior one for about the same price... When you give us a this VS this thread we will tell you which one is a better product....

  6. bwahahahhahahaha, I had to look at it for a minute! lmao damn yo, I literally lol
  7. HDC's are Chinese made... so basically they produce the sub for... 30-40$ a piece and sell them for how much? The BTL's are machined here with materials sourced from here (granted not all but nearly) and sell them for nearly the same price. Also If you've seen the inside of the motor the "cooling" vents look like they were drilled by a drunk 5 year old.
  8. This is drawn incorrectly. The voltage pushes the current through the resistance. The ohm guy should be in front of the amp guy. The pipeline or wire they are traveling down runs through the device (resistance), not below it. Not sure where I found it but I thought it was hilarious..
  9. etting your gains with an o-scope is idiotic. reasons being: - You can't hear even significant distortion in sub frequencies so why set it at "no" distortion - Not all CD's are recorded at the same level so what level do you set it at with the o-scope? - You can't hear the difference between 900w and 1000w so why do you care if you set it to 1000w? (you can take this a lot further than 10% btw) - Everyone ignores the resolution of the Oscope and assumes that a mostly rounded wave means no distortion. It would be a good exercise for you to see a 5% distorted wave in the time domain and then reduce the spatial resolution. No clipping and clipping can easily look the same There are more, but you get the picture. There is really no logic in using a DMM, Oscope, Distortion detector (ROFL) for setting gains. The reason the oscope was made popular on forums is that people were using DMM's and setting their gains to a voltage that their amps were rated for but couldn't produce cleanly at all. If you are dumb enough to need "every last drop" then the oscope is better than the DMM but that isn't saying anything.
  10. BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ! Kidding nice score!
  11. mostly because the majority of the people recommeding the FI sub have never owned or heard one. OP if you want to go with the HDC do 7cubes net, 16^2 port area and tune 34-35Hz if you plan to mostly play low stuff. I run a single 18" HDC in my daily driver... There are obvious reasons to pick the BTL over the HDC any day...

  13. Im stationed in wichita, KS but originally from Kansas City, MO I wanted to something to represent my native heritage... I'm 25% Kiowa and 25% Potawatomi but there isn't a whole lot of information in comparison to other tribes which is my main issue. On the Potawatomi I couldn't advise, but the Kiowa is a US Army Chopper. There should be a good bit online about the tribe's history. J I ahven't found much in terms of tattoo ideas.
  14. ** I wanted it on my legs for pretty much a full sock

  16. i loled so hard
  17. Id like to get some ink but I don't trust a lot of the shops around me nor want to pay out the asshole... but i know pricey = good
  18. Depending on your box You will want to set your SSF (Subsonic filter) 3-4hz below your port tuning (if you're running a ported box) adjust the LPF where ever your mids roll off at which can range from 50-125hz The low-pass filter eliminates the notes you don't want your subwoofer to play. It also acts like a tone control to capture the "edges" of the kick drum's sound; the attack and release of its boom. Filter out the cymbals, strings, vocals, and guitars. Leave the bass and the low drums.. DO not use bass boost! This post on crutchfield will also help.. http://www.crutchfield.com/S-GZMC37viYHD/learn/car/subwoofers/tuning.html th
  19. No, I just use the regular gap filling foam, the stuff that tends to expand more is less dense which personally I don't like. If you can't tell I filled a ~4 in gap with 1 in gap filling foam and that only took two cans for top, bottom and the dome light gaps.
  20. Post a picture and we can probably find you a replacement. its probably a molex connector
