  1. *throws up in mouth* Depends on your needs, goals, power, etc. I'd never use something that thin, but I know bassheads who will disagree. Different goals. They don't list the thickness...You could send them an email and ask. the port can be trimmed to change tuned frequency (nice addition, not just tuned at 45hz and there you go). Edit after further reading, I think that box is good for a low powered subwoofer, but an Icon on a 1000watts is gonna tear that apart. HUGE problem with that box. It is 1.25cuft which is enough for a SEALED Icon. No way, no how will anything sound good in it. If you have to use it, seal the port and call it sealed. Port tuning is also seriously shit in that enclosure and not made for a "real" sub. It won't get torn apart if it is truly mdf, but I still don't recommend it for anything I'd own.

    made from fertalizer that came from a cow. Won't eat meat from a cow, but will eat cow shit. Nice.

    It didn't last long.
  4. So am I more likely to get 300 RMS out of one of those for $100 as opposed to the lanzar that's rated @ 800 watts for $60? I mean even if the lanzar only did half of what it's rated.. that's still more than what those others are putting out @ 2 ohms, and almost half the price.. so what's the deal? Stop reading Ebay specs. They could very well state 8000w as it isn't a tested specification NOR is it RMS. No way in hell that amp does anywhere near that power NOT EVEN CLOSE. Everything else is more important.

    Just saw that today and replied, sorry about the delay...and sure
  6. Yes, dumb. If you are already capable of running active why bother with a comp set even? Pick your drivers to fill your needs and it will work out way better. Having any two drivers play the same vocal frequency range is rarely an effective solution.

    Montana has a speed limit again

    Sweet! We had it as well, snow better be coming SOON!!

    It won't be as loud and is into the realm of diminishing returns.
  10. Of course What do you need help with?
  11. ///M5 replied to Shopvac's topic in Fi Technical
    Benefit is pretty non-existent, but of course you didn't state any goals so applying anything to your specific install is impossible for us.

    Where the fuck do you live that people jump at "gunfire" sounds but you need barbwire around your property.

    Frustrating year for football.
  15. Bad assumption. Some LOC's are better than some headunits and of course no one has asked, perhaps her headunit already has flat outs. Doubt it, but possible depending on what stereo it has. i know nothing of who oe's the Hyundai stuff though so it maybe strange.
  16. I hope it isn't made of thin particle board, if so you should make a new one.

    Insurance as well. Or course that goes back to repair prices. Yep, my M5 was less than $300/yr. Really well covered also. I am sure my next car won't be so nice to me though.

    Me too.. went to my first Sigma Phi party... Preeeety epic 3-4 kegs jello shots, jaegerbombs, and lots... and lots and lots of sexy girls. Grabba-thigh parties ALWAYS need someone to really spike their punch. Then they get better.

    Ah, the E38 nor the Z8 are particularly normal BM'ers for parts. Not surprised any longer.
  20. ///M5 replied to mrray13's topic in Off Topic
    Flat or slotted. Drilled for that car would be an exercise in buying something poorly engineered. Flat should be fine. A liter should cover you unless that car has an unnecessarily large amount for the ABS or clutch.
  21. ///M5 replied to mrray13's topic in Off Topic
    Amazing how much more expensive Merc parts are than BM'er ones though.

    Do you drive aggressive? *assumes yes* Axxis Deluxe pads are sweet. Hardly any dust, good stopping performance and street use doesn't make them noisy. Not to mention 250 a set...yeeeesh got to pay to play, I spose $54 for the M5, but still only $109 for the W210 $250 is retarded Yeah disregard that, that was MSRP; where are you getting your prices from? If you just do normal driving, go to AutoZone and buy some Duralast Golds. They're made by Satisfied and are actually very good pads. I use them on my daily drivers. Had those on my 328i and switched to the Axxis. In the BM'er world they are about the same price and I'd take the Axxis pads anyday. Perfect compromise for the street and didn't make a mess. Standard OE BMW pads REALLY make dust though and most of the replacements do as well. That being said I wouldn't spend a bunch extra on them

I bought mine from Dave Zeckhausen. That is his list price.

    Just buy the damn car or buy a brand new M5 and quit bitching about what to buy. Win! Let me know when you get it too, I am driving up ASAP to fuck your car. In Soviet MN, my car fucks you.
