Not until I buy something.

The correct answer would be in voltage...either way you over powered the driver, so possible your amp took a crap or your settings weren't as you thought they were.

The vehicle I was working on buying is now gone Oh well, another will show up in a month or two.

Or MOST importantly the box.

Where was the gain knob set?

That is exactly what I want to do with a car one day. Frame off restoration and build up everything. Maybe one day I shall have the money Great color.

It is privately held though

Everything is a bit scary right now, but when it is down it can really go up.

Why would I bother? Here is something for you to think about, how does your calculation work if all of sudden TL is placed in the rear of your SUV.

I am selling mine. A really good friend of my Uncle was down in Florida a couple weeks ago with his wife riding her bike behind him when all of a sudden her bike past him laying down without her on it. Some dumb ass rearended her so hard their airbags went off. When he got up to her she was in a huge pile of blood and was sure she was dead. The helmet did its job though, she is having major reconstructive surgery on her face as her jaw is all screwed up but she lived. I can't imagine the horror of watching your wives bike pass you without her on the highway. Sort of the last straw for me, I am not ready to be handicapped yet.

Well considering the L7 likes to be in a big ported box around 3.25cuft and the Icon 15" fits in about the same box I'd compare the two of those. Then I think the Icon will win in ALL categories.

I am tiree

Took ya long enuf, flac ftw! *leaves boston

That was my plan, but seeing your post I thought maybe there was a diy way and if I can ever buy a tool instead of hiring one I am game Sort of a get to instead of a have to.

I have charcoal too. Mark come over, but do wait for the ground to thaw so I can run a gas line Shouldnt be long now!

I meant acoustically

You ask to explain why you can't do that, but for the life of me I can't understand why you think you could do that. If you can let me know that portion I will be glad to explain why not. Perhaps a quick wiki of the term natural frequency will help you. Post away though, we will explain.

Yep, pretty much Scott nailed it. Your "measurement" method tells you absolutely nothing, if you actually measured though it would...and I mean dB not distance.

Come on now... I didn't notice that, :( <--not surprised

You can upload them in the gallery here

sound travelling is bad. Under seat and loud are oxymorons...in particular if you can't get enough on the seat. Do beware of that box taking your head off if you crash, bolt that stuff in!!

Damn skippy-less

Mine will need to be squared off which should be easier?

How did you cut/polish the edges of the granite? <--has a granite project

Conveniently unlike car audio, order doesn't matter that much in home audio as things are interchangeable. Personally I'd try to spend the least possible on the sound card, but get a good set of DAC's. I assume you have had no luck finding the Chaintech AV710 as it is out of "print". Once there I'd look for a used amp/pre-amp combo and sort of decide how big the enclosures for your speakers can be. Then we can further help narrow things down. The 166's do seem to have quite the following for the single driver setup and the speaks I heard at Madisound with them were impressive. The nice part of a full range is that you don't have to blow a lot of dough in your crossovers (usually equal to your drivers in price although there can be more cost effective solutions).
