new hatchbacks
oh and that new sizuki hatch looks pretty sweet, looks like it would be good for getting loud too.

good mono amp for my 12's?
give them 1600w total (about 800w each) and you will be alot happier. SPL wise anyway. seems the louder you get with audiobahns the worse they sound. BX1605D would be a good choice.

how do i check my subs?
oh and with that DMM you need to measure resistance

Never Heard of Them!! R THEY GOOD?
And the only reason the Flat Cones where so good was because the whole working motor came straight from TC sounds.

Transmission Lines In Trunk
well chit, i just thought of this, putting the speakers inside of the line, instead of acting as a closed end of a pipe, would make it an open pip and have to be 1/2 a wavelength to acheive the desired 1st resonance wouldnt it.

Transmission Lines In Trunk
Well since ascendant has slashed the price on the Assasin more than likely assasins will be in my GF's moms truck and my GF's car. For my GF's car if a wicked one just wont work the way i want it to this is my idea...Transmisison line in a false floor. I have a few questions though, Would it be a good idea to put the speakers (probably two assasin 10's) 1/3 down the line to eliminate harmonics from the transmission line? Ive read death stories about improperly designed transmission lines ending up sounding more like organs than SQ enclsoures because of harmonics . Also, Does anyone know of a formula for how much X ammount of stuffing will dampen the sound of speed X ammount? any input would be greatly appreciated. Also, would it be a good idea to have them jsut firing into the cab? or into the trunk. She listens to mostly Rap and Heavy Metal ocasionaly. I dont want to build her chit and have it sucks wince her mom is paying for it and not me. And i dont want to go throug the time or hassle of building a new enclosure.

Toroid Windings
I'm no expert here....but this is my take on it; It has a lot to do with how the amp was designed to make it's power; high voltage (into a high impedance) or high current (into a low impedance) Take two amps; one makes 1000w @ 1ohm, the other makes 1000w @ 4ohm. sqrt(1000*1) = 31.6V 1000/22.3 = 31.6A So, the 1000w amp at 1ohm needs to make 31.6V, and 31.6A. sqrt(1000*4) = 63.2V 1000/63.2 = 15.8A The 1000w @ 4ohm amp needs 63.2V, but only 15.8A of current. Since toroids are (IIRC) used to ramp up the voltage, you could see that even though they make the same power, and could even be the same class, they would use two totally different toroid sizes since amp B needs twice as much voltage. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> This explanation x eleventeen Though i dont know much at all about amp design or circutry, it makes scence.

Oh My, What's This, A Type R?
see the other thread, where the Idea came from... Mom = crumple and die to these, now i need to jack two more stickers and i dont go back to work untill wed.

New Amp Decisions
i had no problems iwth my BX1205D...and it will do close to rated which is close to what the BX1500's do. Internals are fine in the one i got, works like a champ.
-
Never Heard of Them!! R THEY GOOD?
^amen, the flat cone i have on the way is about the extent of my eD purchases. ive heard nothing but crap about their drivers (the current ones) and even if they wernt bad i wouldnt give ben my money.

New Amp Decisions
PPI looks like hit has pretty hardy amps, never heard bad things about them, and we did put them on AF.coms Good List (we did a list of Bad, Average, Good, and highly reccomend)

New Amp Decisions
http://ikesound.com/product-product_id/3918 that is the amp. I dont know if he wants me to pay extra, if he does he can take a hike.

Oh my ! whats this ?
so gay, i finally find some stray 0.02 stamps at work and today was the day my mom cleans the house, they (the stickers) where laying on the floor next to my computer and she crumpled them up and htrew them away. now i gotta jack 2 more UPS things.

New Amp Decisions
Which one would be the better choice. I have my DEI 1100D at ikessound and they are waiting for a new shipment of refurbs, Dustin offered me a PPI 1000.1 as a replacement.

oh noes! what do we finaly have
cars and their use of spring and shocks as their main suspension... Leafs + Torschions ofr teh win!!! lol Nice coil overs. very sexy

Omega Midbass (22mm of xmax)
looking good. Deff a posibility for future upgrades. But new mids are at the bottom of my system improvements and probably wont happen in this truck...still, goodwork.

**Group Buy** USAMPS **Group Buy**
still wanting mine, still waiting for taxes so i can dampen my truck so i can get my new box in so i can put my next paycheck in the bank for you. im hoping amp + deadener + sealing the doors = lots more midbass.

Those of you who own the USamps tubes
search for pics of Tru Tech's tube amps. they glow like a mofo.

24V amp possibilites?
if you could design an amp from the ground up to have a 24v power supply its a great idea for high power. problem wiht converting a stock 12v to 24 is switching out all the bulbs and anything you have that has to run off of 12v you have to have a pretty heafty transformer to step it down to 12 if yo uare going to have any decent current draw from it.

TC9
Im not real attracted to the Flat Cone (no logo means no pretty excursion, plus i have no need for a 12 except maybe HT but id much rather have an 18 and loose alittle SQ, CF dust cap with no logo is what i dont like about my Ava, its also what i love about my Ava). Plus the basket needs welding (it still works but somehow the basket had a chunk taken out of one of the spokes) Maybe i can find someone to get me an 18" flat cone, if i had the know how and the abilityi could build a flat cone. Maybe i can ask RE to not put a dust cap on it...tehehe. BTW i think im going to be able to get your stickers for hte Flat Cone Type R club in the mail. Ill probbaly slap one on mine too and go on there and be like "yeah im demoing one, its friggen loud. a single 12 almost as loud as my Avalanche" eheheh

TC9
IM buying an eD Flatcone for 90bucks shipped. Im planning on pucking around with it, blowing it, then sending it off to RE or Inhuman. RE says they will recone it with SX or XXX softparts to w/e size i want for 100 bucks. Me thinking 18" and compare it to my Ava in output and clarity. If its better the Ava will be reserved for HT usage, if its worse i will either sell it or reserve it for HT usage (depending on my findings). My question is how do you think this will sound/how loud will it get. i know the TC9 is a great motor and the OE driver has 34mm of Xmax (??) i think but the OE surround limits it to 24mm of excursion though. My other question is wether to go with XXX or SX soft parts. Im geussing the longer coil will be the better idea. Ill be calling RE tomarrow to get the nitty gritty on it. I think they both use the same Surround and so it moving its full Xmax shouldnt be a problem. Basket or top plate will probably become an issue first.
