  1. And what are you going to do with all that power?? You updated quicker than i posted! Looks good, you've sealed the trunk off then? plan to?
  2. Haven't gotten a PM back in a couple days. I'm not in a hurry at all, but would there be a better method of communication other than PM?
  3. No pain no Gain!! for a great looking enclosure!!! Tuned in for more!! I'm healing nicely, haha thanks Thanks, more to come in about a week Side note: Nice avatar Umm i still haven't decided what. But no, i don't want to keep it bare wook or paint it. I have some cloth laying around, but I'm not sure if it will wrap around the whole box with one piece, i dont want it to look choppy. And the stuff is thin... AND i don't know if it will match the car. I'll probably end up buying some normal dark black carpet. Thanks, he's always lookin' out for us Keep the comments coming, guys. Good or bad, let me know! Feedback is goooood!
  4. ill help you spend your money, ill send you my pay pal addy Check out Ascendant Audio's mids/tweets. Do a quick search and you'll find some info on them. How do you plan to mount everything? what do you want to fab up? anything?
  5. That's a lotta' bright lights haha
  6. at the same frequency all three times? also.. if any of those tests were clipped.. or clipped more than the other.. a square wave will produce peaks in MANY frequencies which will cause your ear to perceive a sound audibly louder than what it might be because of frequency shift. Same frequencies, I was burping, rolling volume. All these numbers was round abouts, not 100% sure on the exacts until I pull up my old thread. Don't know about clipped, didn't scope them or clamp, so have no idea of actual power. Point is, I sat there and hear differences that wasn't 3dBs apart. I know the theories. I know power compression. My point is, I know what I heard. You know what you heard......but do you know why you heard it? Unless you can answer the question why, and exclude every possible explanation that it was a reason other than what you are suggesting....then you didn't test anything, you can't prove anything, your results aren't valid, and you can not state anything definitive as an explanation. The reason you noticed a difference, even a "big" difference could be reasons completely unrelated the decibel difference of the fundamental frequency. Resonances, distortions, knowing the differences while listening, etc etc etc (and a dozen more things I didn't mention) are all are going to affect the results. Hell, the very fact that you rolled the volume makes your "test" useless. And I'm not arguing the 3db point. I don't agree with the 3db thing either. But, in another thread you said you could hear .5db differences, in the subbass, at a level of 140db+. THAT is clearly beyond the limits of human hearing. The differences that the OP would experience would be well below 1db, THAT would be clearly inaudible and you tried to argue against that point. FYI, "I know what I heard" isn't a valid argument. It's been used time and time again by various people arguing various points for various reasons. The simple fact is, that's not a valid defense or explanation. The only means of "proving" this is by means of a scientifically valid test in controlled conditions administered by someone with the training to properly conduct such an experiment. And what you are describing.....doesn't qualify as any of the above. The OP is at 150+, which makes it even more unbelievable that that small of a gain is going to be noticed.
  7. That's the worst, i've had my new subs for almost a week. Should have started building the box sooner haha
  8. That's a nice order of subs.. I like the gray on the Xs, matches the theme i'm going for with my car as well
  9. Nice, order some wire, quick so you can take full advantage of them!
  10. A new one, or one of the older ones?
  11. why dont you go measure around in your truck so you're not thinking, "maybe i can squeeze more room"? Then you can actually see what different parts of the truck holds X cubic feet available.
  12. Kolossus Fleks >> CCA (what is show in the pic.)
  13. Very clean. Notice much of a volume difference between the sub brands?
  14. it's always fun when your magnet is as large as your basket! haha tuned in for the install
  15. looks like a good time to get some 100% copper 1/0
  16. Auggie, and they have another named Wilson. Wilson is a lot smaller, older and mellow. Wilson is the newer addition to the family, so Auggie gets pretty jealous whenever you call wilson to your lap haha. They're great dogs.
  17. Here's Auggie supervising Test fitting the sub Little out of order, but you get the idea That's as far as we got. Now i'm waiting for the ports while he is on his way to see his parents for Christmas. When he gets back we can start putting it all together. I need to order speaker wires and some parts for terminals. Should all come together at the end of the month. Hope i have enough material left over from the pods to cover this thing..
  18. So day 2 of box assembly.. started cutting the top baffles of the box out. Flush mount for teh sexy look. The outer diameter of the subs is stated at 12.5" on Fi's website, but it was a little off, we had to sand down 1/16" or so on each flush mount hole, kinda' annoying but whatever needs to get done. We glued 'n screwed the top pieces together and started fitting the dowel bracing. 1.5" dowels should do the trick First blood!
  19. No, i don't think he was looking to sell, just wanted to know if they were worth anything now-a-days. He liked the idea that what he has could be wanted by others, while he had no idea about it haha
  20. ordered 3 6" flared port kits and 3 6" tubes to get the required port length from PSP through Argent Audio. Great guy and great prices, very helpful
  21. emh9009 replied to THEMERQ's topic in Fi Technical
    Why do you even want to run that much to that specific sub?

  23. Looks very nice, X2 on the wrap job. lets see it installed!
