Longo and Paul, you guys didn't answer lol. Are you guys coming to the meet if we have one and if your available? 
Also, am I wrong to think that Audison amps > Sundown amps? I was on SSA and numerous people told me that Sundown amps are just as good as Audison's amps. If it were on any other forum but SSA, I would believe it or try to believe it but since its SSA, I dont know....Not that SSA isn't smart, because it is very knowledgeable, its just everyone there runs Sundown. |

Yanks I'd love to. With my schedule with the kids and my job who knows. Long time coming though.
James, here's another example of what I keep my eyes open for. $160 stereo is going for $50. All that is missing is the fm antenna. ($.50 piece of wire). Picking this one up tomorrow after work.

nice Rovin you will probably loose output going sealed as you know but with the subs not moving alot yet youll probably be fine since it sounds like your saying you didnt turn the volume up as much as you could |

Unless you rent a tanker Chad it's not going to be profitable. Plus, doesn't it take you 45 minutes to travel 5 miles where you are lol? The best you can do is fill up every time you can. With the cost rising as fast as it is it's cheaper to pay the price in lower fuel economy on a loaded tank than keep stopping and paying more and more each time. Think of it like stock, the more you buy at the low end the better for you.
What's really funny is watching people wait 20 minutes or more in line to get gas $.05/gal cheaper. Who are they fooling? Burn $1.50 worth of gas sitting idling and wasting your time to save $1.00 on a fill up?
What ppl really need to do is empty their trunks, check tire pressure, drive gingerly, consolidate trips, car pool, increase following distances, ect...... |

Chad...20 cents times 12 gallons= $2.40 in savings....with a car that gets say 35 mpg thats 1.71 gallons at $4.00 a gallon which would be about $6.84 in gas....now add the 60 miles back to your house thats another $6.84 in gas totaling $13.68 to save $2.40 costing you $11.28 more than what your saving |

by the way Chad or anyone else in the market for a new car that can be refueled using hydrogen....I just saw a commercial for Honda's new hydrogen powered car....they boast about no emissions as well (which im not sure if you would get some kind of break because of that in a place like California) |

I thought that was the size of your current sealed enclosure....also I saw you were saying you didnt like how the sealed box you have the 15 revo in does on the higher notes....id say try building a enclosure that had a removable face and place something in the enclosure each time to make the airspace appear smaller to the sub and see how much upper bass you gain and at what compromise to the low end....who knows you might not loose much low end and find the right upper bass you want |

hey i know every1 oversizes a ported box but what about sealed factory specs - do they work good ?

that should sound nice and tight rovin. i like the sound of small sealed boxes sometimes.
for my sub sealed recomendation is 2 - 4cuft so 3.8 will just fit right in there. |

Well its official. Doing 3 12" sd2.5's in the hatch, tuned to 32Hz with 80" of port.
I've been talking with DJ and trying to get this figured out. And just got it figured out today.
These are the specs.
33"Wx24"Lx15"H External = 6.75cubes
31.5"Wx22.5Lx12.75H Internal (double baffle) = 5.14cuft
I'm not too good with this stuff so can somebody tell me how much area I will have after 80" of port? I emailed DJ so I could get the displacement of the subs so I can know exactly how much area I have in the enclosure after port and displacement. |

Hey, my first box was a Becker. Sean remembers those lol.
I was young. The car was fun.
Don't laugh. At the time they were all the rage. Ran that off a 300w Jensen amp. After I grew up I switched to two 12" Kenwoods powered by a 500w Drive series amp. What a step up that was lol.
Then came job, career, marriage, kids, divorce........ |

A man thought that his wife was cheating on him. Since he didn't have a lot of
money to hire an expensive private investigator, he decided to go with a much
cheaper one -- a Chinese man named Mr. Lee.
The following day he received following report:
Most honorable sir:
You leave house. I watch house. he come to house. I watch. He and she leave
house. I follow. He and she go in hotel. I climb tree. I look in window. He kiss
she. She kiss he. He strip she. She strip he. He play with she. She play with
he. I play with me. I fall off tree. I not see.
No fee,
Chen Lee

sean, when i got home yesterday i took out the sealed box and put my ported box back in. after that it was like ahhhhhhh with a sigh of joy. lol. man ported rocks. the sealed is clean but ported is just way better all around.
its hitting the lows good now. i think it had to do with the ssf. i had it at 30hz when it was ported. then when i put it in sealed, i lowered it to 25hz. after switching back to ported, i left the ssf at 25hz. its hittin the lows. i love it.
i guess i still got that spl bug in me. i need some output and sealed just wasn't doing it. |

big port vs small port. both tuned to the same frequencies.
what advantages does a bigger port have over the smaller port and vice versa? |

"what advantages does a bigger port have over the smaller port and vice versa?"
funny you should ask me because ive pondered this one result we had....we had one experience where we saw what a spl box did with two subs and the car liked hitting best at 60 hz in that box tuned at 52 hz aprox. with 4 four inch standard pvc ports....and the daily box he built was smaller and tuned to 37 - 38 hz with only two four inch areo ports and hit best at 53 hz....now the first test was off my brothers 300 amp alt runnung to the other car and the second test was with the cars weak stock electrical but based on previous exp. with other cars I dont think this was the factor....I attribute this to the less port area probably doing this
"big port vs small port. both tuned to the same frequencies."
ive read that going with a smaller port can give you more upper bass as compared to a larger free flowing port but keep in mind you still have to have enough port area so that you dont have port noise or possible damage to your speaker

the reason i ask is cause of thieve's box design. i pmed mike from sound splinter for the recomended box specs and this is what he said.
"On the RL-i10's, if you're lookin' to go ported and want the best sound quality, I would suggest around 1 cu ft net volume shared between the two, 30 square inches of port area, and a tuning of around 27 Hz. If you want a little more peak output, I'd suggest moving up to 1.75 cu ft net volume shared between the two, 30 square inches of port area, tuned up to 31 Hz. Just keep in mind, the larger the box and the higher the tune, the peakier the response curve will become. The RL-i10's are also great sealed box drivers if he wants to save space.
~mike"
30 sq inch of port for a box that is 1 cuft is huge. but i was thinking of doing that for my box too. for a 3.5 cuft net ported box, i was thinking of doing 60 sq inches of port. |

350 TPI with a dana rear. Lighting the rear tires up was not a problem.
My ex-wife used to hound me every time I left a light chirping the tires. "It's got a 350 in it, sometimes I use it" I would tell her.
I've caught her over-indulging herself in it as well. T-tops down, stereo cranked.......
She loved struttin' in it herself lol. |

Chad I want to change this "I attribute this to the less port area probably doing this" because thats incorrect to I attribute this to port placement |

ok gotcha sean.
trying to decide between the 2. with the 2 3 aeroport box, i can take the port out and plug it so its a sealed box. with the slot port box, i get more port area.
slot port box would be 3.8cuft net after port displacement.
aeroport box is 4cuft and i didn't calculate the aeroport displacement.

lol rovin.
also if i was to tune it to 30hz with 4 4inch aeros, it would have to be really long. how did you do it rovin? |

ok i made a big error there since length of each port is would be way too long to fit & ports dont come any longer than 18" which is about a 40hz tuning
better u do slot or if u really wanna try 4" aeros then only 2 may work ... |

partially because in my car in a sealed box that sub just isnt loud enough to balance out up in the high 40's to upper 50 hz range so I figured that arrangement would pick up the output across the board and keep the sound tight....plus if I can id like to port it without any turns....but your right it does seem like a waste to not tune low with this sub and that was my original intent....I guess ill run it on the program again and see what else I can come up with |
