Review of Subwoofer or Speaker: Post name, details and review of the equipment you're reviewing. This forum is for reviews only! No questions should be posted! It's been quite awhile since I've been active on this forum. I'm posting this up here for the benefit of a team member who is active...

he beat me to it....

Why the E8's? Why not look into getting the new SA-8's. Jacob pulled over 140db with a single SA-8 tuned to fairly low 37hz. That's pretty loud while staying quite musical. The video that was posted up showed that little monster moving some serious air and sounding pretty darn good too...

Yeah, I watched that episode when it was first aired. I AM POSITIVE that if they had built it better they could have gotten it louder!

Several years ago I stumbled onto a pair of Kicker Impulse 12's in Sony sub boxes (the cardboard one's they come on the store shelf in) for $5 each. The only handled 150 wrms but they worked perfect, let my sister's BF use them and they disappeared. He tried to tell me he never saw them, a few...

The voltage regulator in the alternator doesn't just regulate the voltage for the change in RPM's but it also regulates the voltage for the load on the alternator, more current draw will cause a drop in voltage so the regulator will adjust to try to keep the voltage constant. There's a chance...

If you're interested in a box calculator that can help you with a wedge shaped box and is free give the one in my signature a check. It has figures for the wedge shaped boxes and cut sheets for the box you configure. The cut sheets for the wedge box are good, but the face (angled part) is a...

Just my .02 here, but I would deaden first. Give your current setup what it needs first. Then if it's still not enough, change the headunit to an upper end unit such as the 880PRS, and the 9887 or 6, Eclipse CD(what is it now 7200?). Those units are all great sounding units and if you're...

The KLMX CCA isn't as good as OFC, it's not meant to be. Knu says right on their website that it's meant for applications that aren't calling for the full standard OFC current draw. To compare the KLMX to the Flekx or even Kicker's Hyperflex is like comparing apples to oranges. Two very...

You've got a lot to learn about audio, son. An 18" can have the same tight response and attack on a quick beat as any 8", in general. The 8" can have the same deep low frequency response as any 18", in general. The differences will only be in sheer output, again in general. There are exceptions...

442 Mb (megabits) a second is equal to 55 MB (Megabytes)... One byte is equal to 8 bits... Holy wiring burning batman, that's a lot of info to transfer... I can see how everything seems laggy...

abnormal impedence or not, they don't care about whole numbers... as long as the impedence connected is within manufacturer recommended tolerance then you're golden... an example, if the manu. says 1 ohm minimum, as long as its 1 ohm or higher then you won't have any issue no matter how many...

reading > me... nevermind on the comment about the performance parts, missed the "NOT" in the OP... still can't believe you've had that much trouble already at 115k though.... if you changed the spark plugs go ahead and change the wires too, they're more important than you think... get a...

YIKES! All that already at only 115,000?!!? If it was me I'd consider getting rid of it, todays cars should easily pass that mileage without so much as changing the waterpump, sparkplugs yeah. Timing belt and rebuilt ***** before 115k, either the thing's a lemon or Honda's cars aren't as good...

I like my pair of Q's VERY much, have them in 4.2cuft (after displacements) tuned to 32hz and they are incredible. Fantasic sound, super lows, and gets plenty loud to boot.
