    3-Way Active: one month in review

    Active would be picking ALL of the x-over frequencies for the speakers. This includes a bandpass filter for the mids and a high pass for the highs. This will involve at least four channels of amplification if you're running a 2-way component setup.

    How to sand for super smooth finish?

    I've seen it said on here many times to sand the paint before applying clear, but I read an article on car painting that said that you should only sand the primer and the clearcoat and not the basecoat color. What the dealy yo?

    Fuse size for distribution block

    AGU fuses can be found in 120 A sizes I believe. You fuse to the wire, so assuming you're using 4 gauge wire after the D-block I would get some 120 or 100amp fuses and call it a day.

    Is 2 Subwoofers Better Than 1 Running Off The Same Amplifier?

    If that amp can run stable at .7 ohms which is what it would be around after impedance rise, then yes, you will see a big increase in SPL and also SQ since you can run it at the same levels as before but with less distortion.

    Worklog for 12" sub -- SPL style -- PICS SOON

    Bigger drill bit is needed probably and countersinking. Any hardware store will have them. IIRC they are around $15-30 for the cheap ones depending on the length. Nothing except glue and clamps. Here is my progress so far. You can see the router accident on the port. That is filled with wood...

    Worklog for 12" sub -- SPL style -- PICS SOON

    A box can be good looking no matter what it's for. Sorry for the lack of updates guys. My computer is down and I need to reinstall Windows. It's almost done though. I rounded all of the corners and just need to cut the hole for the sub and paint at least one side. This whole box is just to...
