nice to see the IHOP thread still going...200,000 posts later...haha!

Thank you Michael for the kind words! Thank you also for bearing with me while I got the pics and shipping together. You played a role in the smooth transaction too! MattB

I put up some old pics in my gallery section. I built the box about a year ago now. Some members might remember it. I'll have to see if I can find the exact specs, but, I seem to recall the port was 24"

mine has been doing that when I use google mail. It pops up and says firefox has experienced a problem and must close. Does it a few times a day..weird. I have notices there have been like 3 automatic updates in the past few weeks...maybe they are working something out?

I've got 2 rl-i8's w/500 each to them and they love it....I mean, if you are careful with it, 400+ does those puppies nice.

at those prices, it is still a good deal. I would not trade my rl-i8's or my rl-p12 for anything... Glad I could be a past customer, and wish I needed more so I could be a future customer..but these just won't quit!!

Looking at Partsexpress, they have a BASH500w amp for under $250. Looking at the picture, it has a left and right input. My receiver only has a single rca output for the sub. Could I use a Y adapter from the receiver to the amp, then, run each of the amps channels to each vc of the woofer? My RL-p is the D4vc.

Thanks for the input. I will do what I can on getting a higher watt amp. Thanks also for the rec. box/port sizes..I look forward to the project!

Well, I have removed all my car stereo stuff to make room for family in my ride...BUT, I cannot part with my RL-p 12..I just love it too much. I was wondering if box sizes/styles would be the same for use in the house? It is looking like I will be starting with around a 200w home audio amp. I know that is way under the RL-p, but I aint selling muh speaker... any ideas/opinions welcome

Good idea for me at least. It brought me back to the site after missing a month or better!

Thanks for the response. I will begin yet a new search!

ah...true, forgot about that shielded deal. probably just be simple-er to buy a speaker. Thanks for the input.

I am wanting to 'build' a center channel for my h/a system. I have a pair of CDT CL-5's 4ohm to use. I am thinking, wiring them to 8ohm and build a small cabinet for them. My question is on the crossover. Is there a xover kit, or a decent xover out there to buy, that I can mount inside the small cabinet, that can handle the 110w my Pioneer VSX puts out? Dont really know what my budget would be, but I surely dont wanna spend too much, or I'd just buy a speaker on ebay or something. I have looked at parts express, and see some 2-ways...I guess I could just use the high pass side of one of those? Or, could it be as simple as just getting some 'bass-blockers' for the cdt's and go with that?

I have used hot glue in the past, and it held up good on stretched vinyl. fwiw..

I used the summit brand shorties on a fullsiez chevy I had a few years ago. They fit good, and mated up to the factory Y pipe just right. We dont have smog here, so I *mis-placed* the cat.conv. when installing all new exhaust. Something to consider - larger tube headers do make a difference on low-end torque (makes it go away!). Some people may not be able to tell too much a difference, but it does effect it. I'd say cat-back first, then headers... fwiw

ttt Ok, so in my new (to me) vehicle, I am wanting some 5.25" for the front doors. I dont want a co-ax, just a true mid., as I already have tweets (factory infinity) at top of door. My door panels are CLOSE to the inner door, so I cant make a plate to mount a 6.5", and I dont want to cut the inner door sheet metal or door panel plastic...so..that is why I want to stay with 5.25". Anyone care to recommend a few? Should I look into some of the ones posted above, just in my size req.?

I LOVE that Riviera....drool........

Good luck Homie! The back door is tough to conquer. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I bout fell outta my chair on that one... congrats on the upcomming question..

x2 looks real good. Interested to know how those soundstreams sound..

ok then, here are the 6.5" comp. specs: FLS 6/25 6.5-inch Shallow Design Neo motor component drivers with alloy cones, 25mm soft domes, and premium high-efficiency crossovers. Special voice coil yields deep bass and quality sound. Mounting depth of only 42mm (1-5/8

10-4, my bad. Once I get home, I will pm the specs to yous guys

hahaaaaaaa just when you thought you had seen it all...wonder how much airspace the body has....

Yes, the NEXT dealer still has some speakers and amps left. I have 2 sets of NEXT 6.5" components, the shallow mount ones, that I am not using. I would be willing to let them go if you need them. For that matter, I have 2 of the 10" subs too. Can post specs if you need me to.

get some help lifting that one into your car!
