  1. Nope, capacitor's do not do anything useful for your application. If someone tells you otherwise, run like hell from any advice they give.
  2. Whose farts have more knowledge about sound than you do. The first step to "being loud" is not to build a wall.
  3. Your AN IDIOT. If that were the case he wouldn't be asking about subs at all, but what he could do in the midbass realm to make that happen.

    good. Now deaden your car and try to minimize the sound that gets out of it to stop annoying people nearby.

    Opinions not based on some facts or experience should not be shared. by opinions i was referring mainly to personal experiences more then just plain thoughts. you gotta start somewhere after all. Somehow I feel like you are wordsmithing to change your answer to fit my request. Either way the past is the past, just don't throw "opinions" around in the future.
  6. Not a tweeter, its a phase plug. Not so sure you want to put E8s in your doors and definitely not in those enclosures as they will get squashed and have no low end.

  8. The Daytons can play lower than that, but I wouldn't run them that high. They are geared to be a part of a 2 way and not a 3 way. If you go 3 way, you will need to sell them and buy something else. You need to measure or at least estimate that enclosure size for me to tell what is going on with the Daytons. Make sure you are as accurate as possible. Take the drivers out and fill the cavity with something: sand, packing peanuts, whatever you have and then measure the volume that comes out.

    Don't act like a little dipshit and I won't give you hell. If you haven't realized NO-ONE here respects you blasting music and annoying others, nor do people like bad advice in their threads. Stop that and you won't see me call you out on it.

    if your talking about where setting your welder in relation to the edges that you are trying to weld together. then i believe you place it at a 45degree angle pointing towards the middle of the thicker metal. if that didn't make sense then i'll show a picture, i can't think of how to explain it in words. thats my 2 cents, then again you probably don't care what i say whether it's true or not. but i tried. Penetration depth...
  11. I just removed the YELLING from your thread title. Don't ever post one in all caps again.

    I have found several compacts that are very fun to drive, especially given their power-to-weight ratio. The only thing I've ever dislike was the torque steer.l my dad got a gti autobahn recently that is a lot of fun to drive, it replaced his cooper-s which was also good for some laughs too. fwd isn't always your worst enemy, just most of the time. my dad has a El Camino with a 504 in it, thats fun to ride in.. he won't let anyone else drive it. not even my mom who pretty much paid for 60%+ of everything that went into it. and she's a way better driver then him in everyway.. cept donuts, my dads pretty good at those in that thing. Good at those in that thing? Is he still in high school too? jeez. besides my horrible last sentence, i don't see what the problem with doing donuts are? i've only seen him do them once. i see people (adults) do them all the time in they're rigs aswell. once again, they're just having fun. By saying someone is good at something it implies they do it regularly and the only people I know that do donuts regularly are high school kids. Stop typing like a tard it is annoying.

    I6 BM'ers are ultra easy to work on. Almost like they were engineered to be serviced. Getting parts for you might on the other hand be an overnight ordeal. I dont know how reliable the new BMWs are... my mom's 535 had to have the whole cylinder head replaced after ~2 years and a few thousand miles took the dealership 4 days too The new 535 is not an I6 car and not what I'd recommend either. I wish they wouldn't have lost their ways, it would make it much easier for me car shopping. I could've sworn it had an inline 6 in it... I figured it was a pre-2003 which was an 8 cylinder as I didn't realize the 2008+ had an I6 twin turbo 3.0L that they called the 35. Blasphemy, the real 3.5 is the M30. oh wait, it's a 530i, '07 or '08 lol. I have no info on that engine as it isn't big enough for the 5 and I am too big for the 3.

    no +1 for sharing, way to be a douche bag i was sharing the music! and i can only fit so many people in my car. we even tried squeezing the sub that i had when teh fire drill went off in my car! he threatened my friend that if he didn't gtfo he was gonna tell the real teacher that he was swearing, cheating, throwing chit (yes he said chit), punched a whole in teh wall (the sub accidently put a hole in the wall during class =]). but then the fire drill was over in the middle of his sentence Even worse on the douche side since you are bragging about being one. i was just having some fun! first time with my system for over 2 months, with the second day of actually getting to blast it after letting it warm back up. whats the whole point in having a loudish system if you aren't gonna blast it so other people can hear it? i'm still kinda in that "new sub/first system" stage, i get a little giddy everytime i can show it off. and that was a good time to show off. sorry Either you have a very, very small penis or are a complete knob. If your system is for blasting so other people can hear it, I hope it gets ripped off or your car vandalized. And I wish that on no one. It is time to grow up. If the system is for YOU to hear fine, if it is for competition fine, but STOP annoying others and if this is the attitude you truly have please don't post here either.

    congrats dude! X2!!!
  17. How big is this sealed enclosure? It looks WAY too small for the Daytons from your pictures which of course kills your midbass. HP, without knowing the settings can also KILL your midbass, in fact that is sort of its job. Really beware with that knob, if the drivers don't complain without it you don't need it. I try to run my mids full range. The Daytons can soak up the 105, no need to just give them 60...but use your ears and your brain if you hear them complaining turn them down. In those dinky enclosures though they might even be able to handle way, way more power. Positioning is a problem with your Goldwoods. All of your non-sub speakers should be in front of you and not behind you.
  18. Running a 3 way+ doesn't leave you many choices. Clarion DRZ9255, Alpine H701, Pioneer P9 Combo, Ural CDD, Behringer 2496. Then you will need an amp channel for each speaker. Get ready to spend some serious money.
  19. Why would you suggest not doing a wall? No benefit of doing it. Why would you decide it is logical?
  20. No, but it was a real question. Why would you do that and what made you decide to.
  21. You fail at making threads. Read the noob posting guidelines and try again.

    Check the engine seals the 2.8 was prone to losing both of them and they aren't trivial to replace. I think they became better in 1998 but don't quote me on the years as it isn't in a range that I ever looked at. **my least favorite color for that car**
