Actually, no it won't. $140 is exactly $5 more than I make per hour, so unless I can build + carpet the entire box AND install the entire system in the truck in about 50 minutes, the savings aren't worth it. The cost of the box isn't the issue (although I save where I can). I just can't locate...

I have built boxes before, have the tools, and have the knowledge. The only thing I lack is that elusive ingredient called "spare time". Thus, if I can identify and purchase this new box, that would be my best solution.

I was told by a local shop that there is now an enclosure that fits beneath the rear seats of the Ford F-250/350 Super Duty Crew Cabs. Their price was $179.00 but they wouldn't give me the brand. I briefly saw a photo of it so I know it exists, but I was hoping someone here could tell me where I...

Diamond Audio? Tru Tech?

Weird. Optima Yellowtops are $109 with a $10 core here at Advance Auto Parts.

Ok, one thing I have learned - which I see has been posted here - is that wiring different resistance combinations will NOT distribute power evenly to the speakers. An example using light bulbs wired to a power source in precisely the same way as I was thinking of wiring my subs shows that one...

More importantly, does this scheme "dilute" the power to two of the speakers, giving an unequal distribution? (I suspect it does but I wanted to make sure).

In a three subwoofer system, how is the impedance calculated when wiring two subs in parallel and the third sub in series? I know there must be a calculator or forumla out there somewhere for "hybrid" wiring schemes like this but I haven't found one, so I thought I would ask here.

I just received a call from woofersetc. They basically clarified that the woofer had gone out on the morning of the 2nd and - since UPS picked it up - it was not actually shipped and logged with a tracking number until the 5th. Whether that's true or not, Dave (the representative who called me)...

SENT: 4/30/2003 Dave, I have been trying to call today but can't seem to get an answer. Would it be acceptable to complete my order through the website? - Tom *** WOOFERSETC: 5/1/2003 Thank you for your order. Your order number is ####. You can check your order status and details by...

Out of curiosity, where on-line can the Shiva be found for purchasing?

I agree with your opinion. I think selling the two Orions and replacing them - provided I can't find another XTRPRO10D - is my safest option. I don't want to add problems by mixing sub models, especially in shared air space.

I appreciate the replies. As it turns out, problem #1 with the JBL was actually one of my subs. I had repeatedly checked the wiring on the coils so I eventually hooked up two other amps (I have a closet full) and discovered that none of them played. To my disappointment, one of my three...

I have two problems with a current install: First, with a JBL bp1200.1, the amp powers up but instantly goes into protection mode. It never makes a sound or gets hot. I have seen this problem mentioned before but forgot what the solution was. Second, when I connect one of three amplifiers to...

The shape of a box matters slightly in sound reproduction. Plain square boxes don't reproduce sound as well as longer, rectangular boxes. There are a number of technical papers on this that can be found on the web, if you dig around.
