yea i tried to img tags and it denied me, i'm not l33t enough i guess :-( yea trunk space is a little on the small side, but its a big car, i have tons of back seat. I've seriously considered IB but i'm not sure how it'd sound. I figure my next setup will use 12s unless the 15s need very little space.

don't be hatin' some of the pics were taken with a very nice nikon 8mp digicam, the other were taken with my camera phone the dirty carpet and glue marks on the boxes adds tons of dbz too

Lol ok ok its just my crappy stratus but i'm bored and want to post pics this is how she looked when i bought her, now she is...exactly the same http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y50/vladd06/306777281.jpg This is the install...i like the "rugged" look, or perhaps its bondage...all those loose wires. http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y50/vladd...nstalled003.jpg here's a trunk shot....i have enough room for...maybe some tortillas. http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y50/vladd...nstalled004.jpg i threw nasty flat black paint on the boxes so that you don't see the boxes so much http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y50/vladd...-14-05_1916.jpg I took out hte 6x9s from the rear and am having my fajah cover it in black vinyl. I'm also going to do the door panels. I need recommendations on a new enclosure though, i'm probably going to do fiberglass and i'm not sure i want to keep the 15s, they're awesome and everyone is amazed they fit in there, but i need some trunk space and i want room to work with and do something neat. A nice stealthy install.

do we have liter-a-cola?

dodge stratus 98 model

how much work would it be/what would i need/would we have time to deaden my doors and prepare them for 6.5comps? also thedoor panels little white plugs that hold them on are mostly broken, i bought some replacement blue ones a long time ago but don't remember where i got them, anyone point me in the right direction?

i'll most likely be bringing my gf too, it's a rough drive from here though :-P

you all gotta learn how to handle your womens

would be nice to sound deaden my doors in prep for the comps. But i've broken just about every one of the plastic plug things in the doors so they rattle like crazy anyway. can't wait to hear the magnum

ahh i'm the guy with short hair that sits wayyy in the back and is usually there late.

friggin awesome, i'll get to see some real setups.

I'll be there, but when is it going to be? also who is the guy that goes to tech that i talk to on aim? i know thats horrible but i don't know who he is on here, he directed me to these forums though.

damn i hate that i missed this, i'm in good ole bburg too, i have next to no system but really want to hear some that people have put real work into.

Lol they didn't have timing chains, but yes they had belt problems, mainly a manufacturing problem, get the right belt and you have no problems, wrong belt and you'll have tons.

i figure all of them should be very close in performance, but figured the difference would mainly be in how they deliver their performance...spl sq sql

even though i've decided to stay loyal to ascendant, i'd love to hear some of the mags if there's anyone close to me (blacksburg, VA) that has the old or the new, or hell if there's anyone close that just wants to show off their system and drink beer, i haven't personally met anyone around here that really knows subs, and i am very new to the hobby

wouldn't this kill my trunk???? edit, in case you all wanted to see i threw together some of the subs i was considering before, limited them to my enclosures and tuning to where i felt was appropriate, i was hugely impressed with the LMT but odn't see a need to tune quite so low, 10hz might be fun but i'll never need to hear it. (can't anyway) here's my sucky pic of my actual trunk the grey/black would be hollow all the way down to the spare http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y50/vladd06/NewBox.jpg and here's the sub comparison on WinISD, probably no use to you all since the box constraints are for my box, a few of them were really on the low side, but i'm highly impressed at the LMT's low freq response http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y50/vladd...bcomparison.jpg

yea i think we are talking about hte same thing, but i would extend the enclosure all the way to the back of the trunk which i don't think your drawing did, or i'm reading it wrong...i'll try to do a little better drawing buy my skills aren't so good with paint..i'm pretty good with a bo staff though

tossing ideas is exactly what i need, the wishbone all the way to back is what i was thinking, and the hollow scallop having the hinged false floor amp rack, would be pretty kick a55 also i don'tt hink ihave room for an enclosure just in front of hte spare, it runs pretty far up towards the cabin

ok, let me clarify my setup and whats going on. Right now i can give each 15" subwoofer 3cubes no problem. If i glass an enclosure i should have no problem giving them 5cubes each(if need be). Buying another 1200d and strapping them won't be a problem either as i'm actually working now and don't really have any bills. Buying new subs is not a big deal either cause its not me buying them, my gf said she would do it for me, so there's no way i'm passing up the opportunity to get ~$1000 worth of subs (thats what my max limit is...ish) the subs won't be bought till december as an x-mas present so maybe Ascendant will have their new line out by then, but who knows, for now we can compare the avalanche was all i was saying. I 100% agree i don't like going on number for the RL-S, it could be an awesome sub, or it could suck and no use to gamble. i'm hoping as people demo them i can get better responses here. as far as being a basshead....i can't help it, i'm truly not impressed with the shake my nuts loudness. I mean they get LOUD but i also accept they aren't high end subs and i am starting to see their limitations. if i'm going to get free subs, i want the best sub for me that i can get. i hate sloppy bass though and would rather keep my atlii than give up SQ at the volumes it'll play at EDIT: i've decided to wait for Ascendant's new line, i talked to chad and coupled with how pleased i was with these subs for the money, i don't think my confidence will be misplaced

"i would probably get another 1200d which means i can get about 2500W @ 2ohms stable lower too" and i know a guy that runs his strapped at 1ohm with no probs, plus i don't care to abuse it just a little since i have a hookup :-D edit: i have the two boxes right now at 3.13 each and if i fiberglass then i can squeeze out at least 6-7 probably much more.

ok...but they're 3.5ohms per sub right? 2 subs = 7 or 1.75 ohm

uhm...the orions would be, 3.5 in parallel is 1.75ohms which puts me above 2500W total or about 1250 per sub, still on the small side, i'm thinking the efficiency of the stereo integrity will help me here as i don't want to run anything more than two 1200ds

i was going to mention the adire line, but in all honesty i just don't like the attitude the guy has (dan i think it is). I didn't want to mention this cause so many people think he's great, but i don't and i don't want to support his company, and before you reply understand that it is my choice and you probably won't sway it. right now i have the 1 orion 1200d and 3.13cubes tuned to 36hz with next to no port area, so i will most likely be doing new boxes...almost guaranteed actually, i'm wanting to start some fiberglassing soon and make about 5 cubes each, but we'll see how that goes :-D i would probably get another 1200d which means i can get about 2500W @ 2ohms stable lower too edit: the atlas 15s definately show up the bahns but he won't admit it, they are SOOOO much better sounding and the loudness is close but i win for inside the car loudness, outside the car it still sounds weak, but i consider that a good thing

the cars had no problems with the head gaskets, it was the head. That little baby was a beast and when put in the daytona (what i have) its a much nicer looking car. The engine is beyond cheap to get hp from too, for what a ricer spends for 30hp, i can get 100.
