If god permits, next year i'll be in pharmacy school living with and leeching off my aunt/uncle. I hope to put a HT setup in and will use the subs i already have (for a start). My question is which should i use. I have the two 15" atlases and the 1 15" avalanche. I'm not sure how much different HT is from car audio, so i'll put my speculations and you all can feel free to correct me. two atlases will have more than enough output i'm sure. But won't get as low as the Avalanche. The avalanche will get low, but not as much output. Also I imagine an amp for the atlases would be easier to come by. (300W @ 4ohm vs 800W @ 4ohm) So my question is for HT is lows needed more than output (this will be for movies, i want realistic sound, not my bass crazy car. And should i worry about either not having required output? (for a car this would be a stupid question since both setups were loud in car, but i don't see cabin gain helping me in a big open room)

today has been uber productive..i cleaned the car out (3 grocery bags of trash) fixed the dash rattle (dash screws coming loose, oops), paid pharmacy application fee (the small one) and cleaned my room, booya now i need to go buy laundry detergent, and maybe a bigger screw to fix the cadence amp if i feel froggy, don't know if i can afford the $.97 lol

i need to find the rattle in my dash

i was insinuating it would be appropriate for death metal because of the equal amount of sucking :-D

audiobahn do people really listen to death metal? we had a roommate that did, but she was a punk goth wannabe

also..i probably WILL be building a box in the trunk, just discovered that i have a 19" mounting height.

avalanche + box = too tall to invert upright, firing towards the rear was the only option, avalanche was too heavy for the box to support so i stuck a few pieces of MDF above the box to wedge it in (ghetto is betto) The sound? a lot better, the added volume helped since she was struggling for air before. Lows are much better, output is more localized because of the rear firing, and trunk rattles more. A little louder, but barely noticeable.

bed at 8pm up at 4am =7am and restless going out now to invert the avalanche

you only had like 1/32 of clearance anyway!!!!

if you're wanting something that really gets loud, you need to port. Since you're going to be running the subs in your SRT i'd go with 12s regardless of what sub you choose. 12s will be an easier fit all around and because of space requirements they'll probably be just as loud as 15s in your application. #1 thing is if you don't like your sub, change your box before you change subs. So many factors affect how your sub will sound, net volume, port area, tuning frequency, shape of box, how the woofer is pointing, etc etc etc.

Welcome, and if your trunk is anything like my stratus's then good luck

icy rain + work + no screwdriver = no inverted avalanche today

Yea...assuming he gets online sometime before we meet there

i'll be using the great old PVC most likely

my next box will have round pvc ports. Just because i've never tried them, i have my L slot port now (even though i screwed up the internal volume BAD) and i ran my triangle ports before. Now its time to try round ones

the solidworks thing is ultimately useless, but it at least lets me see the box and get an idea of the port and everything. Where it really comes in handy is checking the net volume, once you've made everything to scale just click a few buttons and viola you have all those measurements that usually take me 30min to do on paper

stuff i've received from current sugar momma... my Atlas subs My pioneer deck I'm sure there's more, car audio is all that comes to mind at the moment though.

i used to have a phone number for a place that would sell the FSM's, just about any car ever made too. $100/set of 3 i talked my gf at the time into ordering a set for the daytona. Suga mommas are the best

hmmm it keeps moving my dimensions all around, they're fine when i look at the project in solidorks, but when i save it as a .jpeg they go all to hell, here's a screencap with a CF texture http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y50/vladd...z68inportcf.jpg

and i just realized selling the plan would be for my own benefit also.... lawl sooo i ammend my statement to, go fudge yourself if you're questioning my ethics

Ok so my solidworks knowledge has increased to about 1/10 My goal for today was the learn to use it enough to model up my boxes (i like being able to see them) here's a preview, i added the woodgrain for chits and giggles http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y50/vladd...7hz68inport.jpg if anyone has a box that they might want me to do (thats very simple) i'll do one or two for practice for ya note: unlike everyone else on certain other forums i wont be trying to sell these, this is purely for my own benefit

FSM's? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Factory Service Manual usually a set of three books that are worth their weight in gold when working on a car, think of a haynes or chilton on serious steroids.

Oh i'm sure you'll still have your fair share of incompetent fudgetards, but congrats on the new job

yes, it was just little things like an air vent and a broken power window switch. I really need some FSM's if they happened to have those though.
