My Family has been using Deere Farm Implements for as long as we could afford them on my uncle's Strawberry farm which he sold last year. We ran it for over a centurry... beat that

like i said, sofar, not everything it's made out to be. We will see how they do with 220w each soon

it is by like 1/2" the pic makes it lookreally bad. you cant even tell in when you see it unless you know what you're looking for. It's because i used one angle cut for one side and another for hte other so one ended up being just a tad off. It changed the angle of the opening a whopping 2 degrees and the volume of onside just over 5 cuin difference....not gonna make that big of a difference.

John Deere is the Adire Audio of the tractor business. Yeah they cost alot of money But they have really great longevity AND you dont have to use all of their power to get the job done. Ive driven Deere's as small as an 18horse lawn mower to my papa's little inline 4 Diesle to a dual tired 10.0l I-6. And the saying is true, nothing runs like a deere.

Stock HU is in it now with a LOC Mrray's Eclipse 3434 will be here on friday, ill probably installing all this next week. I'd like to have m new mids by prom but that aint gonna happen so ill just have to stick with what i got. Funny thing, kinda random, Amanda managed to blow her 6.5's already. I told her "Dont EVER go over 50, i know the HU will go to 65 but i dont want you to go over 50. If the speakers start sounding funky on low beats of from distortion turn it down." well, 55w and prolonged distorted low bass from one of her CD's and the coil, especially on the driver's side, is starting to unravle and the wire is partially burnt because the mids arent moving as far or getting as loud (higher resistance). Which leads me to belive these HWS stuff is overrated because that amp could only produce 110w completely clipped assueming a true 4ohm load and that her alternator was charging at 14.4v and supporting the current. They where rated for 80w RMS i do belive. The gains are set by ear and checked with a multimeter. Oh well, she still has music, SQ just got killed, she is asking her dad for money for new speakers. I may go ahead and upgrade her to a cheap CDT 2 way componet set. mount the tweeters on the dash to raise the sound stage some.

Pics of the Eclipse when it gets here (thanks Mrray) but for now, my newest addition to the hat collection (i actually am a John Deere Lover) and the 1/2din EQ (thanks tirefryr) Just wondering what the two switches on the top are for.

Hmmm, i would break out Fireworks but im lazy some changes to the one above and a list of company sponsors below would ne nice, or that across the front and sponsors on the back. i would be in for one if it was like that.

yep, i was able to snag over 2cuft net ported with over 20sqi ofp ort area tuned into the low 30's in a ram singel cab....and you stll ad fully functional seats and there sill be space betwen the seat and the box.

yep. if it's costing 180 for an rli 12 and the rlp can be bought for just a tad more....i wonder which one i would want... lol

Hardest part about havign a usable bench for powerful amp is having a stable load that can handle all the power.

no, i mean what tones do you consider low. im tuned to 28Hz...

also, small enclosures like this one (which was made from scrap wood out of bordom, hence the lack in quality) take me less than an hour to get the the point of putting on a finish. and that is the kind of enclosure people are wanting more than ones like this which even then takes me about 2-2.5hrs to get to the finishing point. even still a ported qlogic enclsorue made from like 5/8 MDF and had no bracing cost 80bucks and isnt tuned to the driver to be used, so that is still a deal IMO. well im gonna take these prices to 2 potential custoemrs tomarrow and see how they like it. I'm also probably going to put like a warranty on craftsmanship and a maximum 2.5week turn around time once i take their money then they get a discount unless i sawy otherwise ath the time of payment.

takes me about 4-5hrs start to finish, painted or w/e and all. and that is for a big enclosrue like the one for my 18, which is almsot 8cuft, so i'd becompensated for that as well. around $10-$15/hr is you want to look at it like that. And its underthe table, non taxable so that is double what im getting at my job job and i enjoy building enclosrues alot more than putting ocmptuers togather, dealing with retarded customers, and setting up networks along with testind harddrives for 4hrs a day...

True...here is the 2 price lists im thinking of. 40 + Materials for sealed 55 + Materials for Ported If its >4cuft the price goes up $20 Materials have a 10% mark up. Fiberglass is the same for either with fiberglass stuff. OR 65 for sealed < 4cuft Finish Not Included 80 for Ported < 3.5cuft Finish not included >4cuft add $25 > 8cuft add $50 so on and so forth Same incraments with ported Finish Prices: Truck Bed Liner: $35 Carpet: $35 Vynil: $25+ Cost of vynil (diferent quality vynils are different prices) Paint: Starts at $50 Fiberglass Enclosures $20/hr + Materials 10% mark up on materials.

hmmm what did i vote for... DD is SPL, not sub 30Hz play-fun im actally saying toss up between the new xxx and ascendant's Havoc btw, what do you consider rediculously low? 30hz? 25? 20? 15? i like 15 on my ava 18.

Got dropped during shipping. Bought it for $70 shipped. Mostly for the TC9. Figured i'd fix it untill i had the money to have it reconed to an 18. I wanted to hear it before i did that though.

didnt even see CAI, FF, FR, MR, RR... Cold Air Intake Front Engine Frton Wheel Driver Front- RWD Mid RWD Rear RWD I/E/H = intake, exaust, and headers.

Well for now im gonna fix the flexi basket and if i ever have the money i may send it in to be made into an 18... soo here is what i did today. I would like to fix it to the point it wont need a support ring on it so i can put the gasket back on make it look brand new. I dont know how im going to do that because that will be one hell of a weld to get the broken spoke back to the basket.

Because of the price of the two local audio shops to get a true custom enclosure built, everyone any anyone is getting cookie cutter boxes from them. IE, preprogramed into their saw for their vehicle, or, even cheaper, basically prefab w/o the actualy fabrication. Better than prefab but unless the T/S params lend themselves to the given volume/tuning and the box is tuned to the owners ears, they end up unsatisfied. I've already done a few boxes for people around school and they have been extremely satisfied. I recive complements almost daily on "so and so's" box. But these where mostly close friends and i charged very little. My question is, how much should i charge to make it economical for me to build the enclosure with out them flocking back to the local audio shops because they are "Trusted" even though im known as the audiophile at my school im looking for business from the local community college and the older bunch as well. Because i have limited tool resouces it takes me longer than if i had a loaded shop. More sanding/slight cut corrections. I was thinking $10-$15/hr + true matierial costs (as if i had to buy all new materials every time, so if i have extra's lying around that is a few extra bucks in my pocket) for sealed enclosures and a bit more for ported. Design process isnt included in the hours. Sound fair? This would put the cost for a decent enclosure at less then half the price of a similar enclosure from the local audio shops. However, should I include isntalation in that or should i just have it a "here it is, do it yo's self." i dont mind tearing into friends cars to run wires because they are, freinds, but for $10/hr im not going to tear into some strangers car to run wires, end up breaking something and turn around looseing more money having to fix it. ideas/opinions?

Treo is loud as phuck...need to port it though

yep, a whopping 55w. cant wait to get the sony installed for her and see how much they wang with 220w each. I thought it was 110w then i was like "wait, that is at 2ohm" here are the unpaintedness and the ugly paintedness that will change soon. i took pics of the HU/Amp but the cam isnt showing them on the upload software so ill figure that out tomarrow.

Never knew thoes days. When i came into it DD 9900's where the top dog SPL winners, DD was winning everything SPL, SQ competitions wherent carred about. And the XXX had just gotten rid of the boob dust cap. what was what? 3-4yrs ago? RE is moving towards dealer networks, which sucks, however their MSRP for what you get is alot better than what Dan did when he moved to a full dealer network was assanine to his loyal lovers before. A shiva 10 going for over $150 when it is no better than an RE 10 and doesnt stand a sneeze of a chance agianst an assasin both of which can be had for less than half the price...on top of the fact that even JL which is hugely inflated, sells the w1v2 for less than that makes it even more inflated. sure its a great driver but cost too much. The Koda, which isnt a whole lot louder, just a lot cleaner, retails for as much as a w6v2 or an inflated SE. However the Brahma isnt all that bad of a price. Right around what i remember what it used to be, the tumult, on the otherhand, retails for just a tad less than the w7 or the new XXX and isnt much (if any) better than the w7 and doesnt stand a half fart chance agianst the new XXX. which is why i need to find new companies. I have ascendant and sound splinter...that is about it.

That sounds yummy...makes me think about the next upgrade to amanda's system. Rl-p 15 3cuft@28Hz

Hot box is all things smoked andin order to actually hot box the rooms has to be filled with smoke like, cant see through the car filled
