Looks really great! If i run an SPL setup in my 2011 mustang i'll definitely give you a call!

Pretty much the same company

It really isn't... Just money, some time, and some tests.

He's so funny

Looks Gnarly!

Daily, you should really read the tech on the subs, Daily is music, and SPL is only tones and burps. nothing else.

You jumped from Firecrackers to M80's there son

Generally speaking, most 1080p tv's are always going to be good. I have a rebranded LG tv, not entirely sure of the model but it was rebranded as Insignia from Best Buy, Looks great, reliability so far is great. Make sure your 1080p tv has lots of outputs/inputs that was the main decider on me getting my Insignia, a same priced Samsung (which i would of gotten had i had the money) had less outputs/inputs and also was like 5 inches smaller also it was 1080p (You know size matters with Tv's) I only need one HDMI input and one other local for plugging in shit like camera's. For me, since I have a PS3 and direct tv it's always nice having more than you need, i would hate to have to switch HDMI's, LED is actually good they're extremely light, power efficient, and THIN! My Tv is about 3-4x thicker than a comparable LED tv.

Ok i get what your saying. So how many watts max can this sub take? And whats a good 2 ohm amp that will push this sub? Eleventybillion watts a kicker zx1500.1 would be good, Kicker amps are great.

Bl/Mms is constantly turning up everywhere to describe the "acceleration factor" of a driver. This is totally wrong! The "acceleration factor" or "speed" of a driver is determined only by the bandwidth of the driver and nothing else. In reality the "fastest" driver or the one with the quickest rise time is one that can play the highest frequencies! Here we will use a picture to help explain the situation. In the following we show time from left to right, and amplitude from top to bottom. - Picture courtesy of Cool Edit 96 - www.syntrillium.com We have 3 complete sine wave cycles showing with a period of silence between each. The first one we shall say is 20hz, the second one is 40hz, and the third one is 80hz. However they could also be 200hz, 400hz, and 800hz. Or they could also be 500hz, 1Khz, and 2Khz. Or even 5Khz, 10Khz, and 20Khz. It is the octave relationship that is the same, that is each wave is half the time to complete a full cycle than the one before it. So the "speed" is needed in moving the driver back and forth to match these waves. Now look at the first wave, we need to move the driver from the middle point out to a maximum peak, then pull it back to the middle, then to the opposite peak, then back to the middle. In the second wave we have to do this twice as quick. In the third wave we have to do this 4 times faster! But what have we done in reality when we moved the driver faster? We have only changed the output frequency! We see that for a driver to cover all these varying speeds, it is exactly the same thing as covering a wider bandwidth of frequencies. Nothing more! The acceleration of a driver is described by; Force/Mass Many people and even other speaker companies confuse this and say the force is equal to the Bl parameter of a speaker. After all it is called the "Force Factor" right? However the real force equation for a magnetic speaker motor is equal to; Force = magnetic flux in gap ( B ) * Length of wire in gap ( l ) * current in the wire ( i ) You cannot forget the current, without the current the wire does nothing in the gap! This means you cannot look at Bl without also including the resistance or Re of the speaker at the same time. They are directly related to each other in a speaker, one does not do anything on its own. Bl means nothing without Re, this is a very important point to understand with relation to driver parameters. Now let us look at a speaker motor playing a wide bandwidth of frequencies. First we have to assume that if the voice coil is in the gap, both the B and the l of Bl do not change. However, to get the same amount of force ( B * l * i ) across the entire frequency bandwidth, you need to keep the same amount of current at all frequencies. To do this you need to keep the same impedance at all frequencies to keep the same current. The main limiting factor preventing the voice coil from having a flat impedance above the resonance peak and doing this is its self inductance. This is the real determinate of driver "speed"! This self inductance increases the impedance of the voice coil the higher in frequency it goes. The current goes down, and hence the Force has to go down as the current goes down. Eventually you will come to a frequency that no current can flow in the driver! Now since lower frequency drivers need more voice coil wire to get more xmax, they also create more self inductance as a byproduct. Thus when you hear someone talk about "slow" drivers, what they really are describing are drivers that are bandwidth limited. Now there are other issues to the bandwidth, it is not just the self inductance. There are issues with the diameter of the diaphragm, the shape and depth of the diaphragm, the diameter of the voice coil, etc. However the self inductance is the majority contributor for 99% of loudspeakers. So in conclusion to get the Force needed for a "fast" driver, you need to get the lowest inductance as possible first. Bl/Mms does not show anything about a driver's response, rather it is total nonsense that should be placed in the GARBAGE! I thought this was rather interesting (Source)

sexy sexy sexy motors!

BTL's aren't able to bottom out because of the huge bumped back plate

I love the car metaphors, you and Scott really love them. But it's true, be aware of your subwoofer, and set gains with an Oscilloscope.

I'd choose SecondSkin for sound deadener instead of Dynamat.

Double posting is no good I'd tune at 30-32 hz, I was tuned at 32 hz and it killed the lows and everything in between. What vehicle do you have? and you're going to want dual 1's so you can wire down to a final load of 1 ohm.

I saw this awhile back, that's so fucked.

Crazy, i've never heard this.

happy birthday! :drink40:

That is correct, if i remember correctly around 30 or 40 lbs.

I can see your address Kidding, hope you love it.

agreed

Lawrence DUDE! I'll be living down there soon!! I hadn't realized we were so close.. I'll be going to Haskell Indian Nations University, after 3 years i'll transfer over to KU (Thought you might like that ) We'll have to meet up when i get down there! I'm not sure if I'm staying on campus or getting an apartment. Lawrence is a great place and lots of cool stuff down there. Sure thing. Glad you're escaping Misery Oh Yeah, I'm pumped! How are the prices on the apartment's down there? I've heard they're fairly cheap. Eh, not what I'd consider cheap. But I'm from western kansas. My apartment is 800 sq. feet, 1 bedroom, water & trash paid, and it's $705/month. But my complex is fairly new. I could have stayed in my former apartment, a 3 bedroom townhouse, for only about 100 more per month. But it wasn't as nice as the one I'm in now. However, of course the landlords were upgrading every other unit in the complex at that time so others were nicer, and they weren't going to upgrade ours until we left. Well, I'll tell you what. You can just look for yourself. Most of the apartment complexes in the whole city (plus some duplexes) are listed on www.apartments.lawrence.com. If you tell me what kind of place you want, and maybe where, I can suggest some complexes if that's what you're looking at. Well, Somwhere close to Haskell would be great, 1 Bedroom, Washer/dryer, Maybe a carport or garage, Just kinda a college apartment, furnished if possible, Probably no more than 700/mo.
