Fishing, beer, and smokin hot!

Now thats a woman.

So Ive been thinking about it and seems like it would be fun. I know nothing about running in comps and would like a little info on how. I know there is a ton of different classes to be in but I dont have a clue about them. Do they go by how much power you run, how many and how big your subs are, or if you have a wall or somethin? I always see these posts about going to shows and you guys make it sound fun. Id appreciate it if I could get a little rundown on what might be best for me with the stuff in my sig. Any info would be awesome. Thanks guys.

Mine is in the off topic section under "badmouthing my setup". I go in lookin for 1/0 ring terminals and the owner asks whats up. Sooo...

First off you will want to contact Scott or Nick and have them change it to a dual 2 ohm so it can be wired to 1 ohm. The dual 1 ohm will be wired at .5 ohm or 2 ohm so you wont get all the power from the amp that you want. You dont have to upgrade if you dont want to. You dont have to do anything you dont want to. But it would be a good idea if you want all the power you can get. The box depends on how its tuned. I dont remember if 2.7 is enough but a quick glance at ficaraudio.com will tell you the proper size. Everyone will tell you to ditch the cap and go with extra batts.

Whod you piss off man? lol

I remember whenever someone got a new HT system in their house, in went Jurassic Park. Awesome sound effects. Love that movie.

Welcome. You will find mucho info here. Many smart dudes on here.

OK thanks for the info. I'll have to remember that. On another note Texas smeared UTEP across the field today. Damn, that was a blowout. I definantly appreciate the update because I didnt watch a lick of College Football today at all, until now this Purdue and Nortre Dame game and cant catch the score of Texas's game on the bottom of ESPN because Im paying more attention to this forum. I think it was 64-7. I was watching that too but the Iowa and PennSt is looking better now.

Just turned it back and cant really notice a difference. See how it sounds on my 3 hour commute back home tonight. God damn I need some dampening in my cab.

Sounds about right to me.

Allright after a few amp adjustments I now have some serious (for me anyways) spl! The settings are: subsonic filter at 15hz which is all the way down; bass boast is all the way down; LPF is dead center between 35hz and 250hz; phase is at 1/4; gain is at a little under 3/4. Originally I had the LPF at about 1/4 turn and the subsonic at the same. The amp only gives the start and the end numbers on the settings so its hard to give an exact number on what my settings are. Do any of the settings I have now or before sound out of whack? Its definately hitting the higher notes like the 12's did and better now. Just sounds a little weird to me sometimes. I dont know if its my truck rattling to pieces or a weird sound from the sub.

Tebow just got hammered!! Holy shit!

Busy buddy. Why don't you ask for your info right here on the forum. Nick and the other guys from fi might just answer your questions on here. Or some other folks might help you also. I used to have the number but not anymore. What do you want to know?

I'm assuming you are talking about fi? If so they are Q's, not SQ's. probably a little too much amp for a Q. Yes they are very busy as usual.

Sounds tasty. I'll take four please.

All you pacific time zoners, there is a show called Trailer Park Boys on direct tv channel 239. It's on tonight at 10pm. Funny as hell I tell you.

That's a horrible thing to have happen to anyone yet alone a child. Get well soon little bugga!

Its just like cocks man. Bigger is always better.

Very desciptive and detailed answer shizzon. I'm that kind of person that knows 2+2=4, but I just like to know why. What's funny is the guy who runs the local shop I go to sometimes has 2 of them in his porsche. Both 5 farad rf caps in his sq setup. Not to mention 2 $10,000 class a/b (more a bias) amps by audison I believe. Not a hot seller he said. Huh, go figure. Shouldn't someone who owns a custom car audio shop know these kinds of things?

I'm not pro caps or anything but why are you so against them? I'm sure it's just a waste of money but can it actually hurt your system?

They are Hertz ES300 4 ohm svc. I believe about 300-350rms each. There was 2 boxes at around 4 cuft each. Each box was divided also. It was tuned at what I thought was about 33hz. They are simple flared pvc ports. Must be a little different cause the BTL at 32hz doesnt hit the higher notes like the 12's did.

Depends on how you wire them. 1 driver can be .5ohm or 2ohm. 2 drivers can be 1ohm or 4 ohm.

I finally completed my box for my BTL this last weekend and got it stuffed in my truck last night. Its rough and simple and I dont have any pics as I returned my dig cam. I didnt know it took AA batts so I returned it after my trip to Ark. The box is 42W" x 22H" x 22D" w/out any bracing or 45's. Just a double baffle top. It is 7.5ft3 at 32 hertz with 123 sqin of port area. The port is 6 inches wide. It is sub up, port up. I am running a 250amp Mechman alt with a Die Hard truck/suv batt under the hood. I have 1/0 wiring with 8ga. speaker wire. Im currently running a Hifonics BXI2006. This driver POUNDS the lows like Ive never heard before! Comparing it to the 4 12's I took out, its without question pounding much harder. Now it doesnt hit higher notes as loud like my 12's did but it absolutely hammers the lows. The 12's hit the lows very well too, just not like this. I think my already cracked back window is going to bust out here in the near future. Very nice job to the guys at fi. This driver is built like a tank. Exceeded my expectations from the very start. Thise driver sounds so nice and Im very glad I bought this. This is the bass Ive been looking for. Thank you fi. Now I need to get my project going on the MLI-65's in the doors. Changing out the driver side window motor and regulator assembly so its a perfect itme to put in my damplifier lite and get that going.
