    Bondo Rubberized Undercoat Aerosol

    Found some info, I was getting drowned when I had bondo in the search box, but rubberized undercoat seems to work. Would still appreciate any input

    Bondo Rubberized Undercoat Aerosol

    Picked up a can of this stuff on a whim after getting my MDF cut yesterday at Home Depot. Anyone used this stuff before? Claims to have sound deadening qualities. If it works at all it's sure a lot cheaper at $5 a can than the mainstream spray deadeners...

    Building my box

    Just picked up a cheap single 12" RE SX D2. Would've gone FI but I found a really nice deal on this sub. Planning out my box and having some trouble. It looks like the only place (Home Depot) I can find nearby on O'ahu that sells MDF 3/4" sells it in 24"x48" sheets. Because the sheets are only...

    RE vs Fi

    Wow, someone's defensive, and hyperbole is unnecessary. I didn't expect Scott himself to answer my e-mail. Admittedly, I know relatively little of his company, perhaps he doesn't have anyone else working for him, a customer service department of any kind? From what I hear it's a very small...

    RE vs Fi

    48 hours with no response from Fi after e-mailing their website adress... Starting to lean RE just because it seems like I'll be able to order the sub when I want to

    RE vs Fi

    Well, I haven't gotten any response in about 24 hours from Fi on some of my questions on their sub. Free shipping is great, but I don't live in the 48 - they added a couple more when someone wasn't looking. RE SX - 209 off eBay + shipping = approx 280ish Fi BL - 260 off the site + shipping? =...

    RE vs Fi

    dang, just found a poll thread on this, sorry for the repost, would still appreciate any current info you guys might have

    RE vs Fi

    While I've read a lot of compliments about both these companies on the boards, I have yet to hear subs from either of these companies. I'm looking into purchasing an RE (probably 1 SX instead of 2 SE's 12's, due to space constraints) but also looking heavily at the Fi lines of subs (site appears...

    One more time

    Hah, great.... So now it's down to the RE options, the Tempest, the CSS SDX15, or the FI Mag... I thought I was going to be narrowing things down, but now I got new options. Concerns: Tempest is DVC 8ohm which if I only grab a single sub drops me to 4ohms, best specs I can find for the...

    One more time

    Sorry to basically repeat my last post, but the thread turned into a bunch of people yelling at some guy for suggesting I go with pyle subwoofers for a good mix of SQL and SPL. Anyway, I started off looking at (all 12"s) 2 CXRs, 1 W6v2, 1 RE SX, or possible 2 RE SE's. This would be for a honda...

    New Sub Purchase

    It's actually the RE SX 12" that I think I might be able to get, not the SE. I might be able to check into availability of the SE's as well. Anyone compared SE's to SX's? Much of a difference? Also in terms of SPL, will I be sacrificing a lot by going with a single RE SE or SX as opposed to the...

    New Sub Purchase

    While I appreciate the input, I feel that might make me throw up after having a Brahma for so long.

    New Sub Purchase

    Ok, so I got my Alpine 9887 installed in my new (used) little civic lx 4dr that I picked up for grad school. I stuck in 4 of the coaxial PG RSD6.5's because I don't have a shop here to do components and wired up my old USB4085 to them (and they start getting muddy around 21 on the deck with...

    Long time guys, New set-up

    Found the coaxials for $40 a pair from a guy on eBay. Got those coming. I figure it can be a stepwise process. Put these in for the time being, try to find time to run my 4 channel amp, then take the time to do components right. Now I gotta figure out sub and amp. Little worried though since...

    Long time guys, New set-up

    So college is over, the mustang is gone, the Brahma resides at home in my Tacoma - the backseats are a joke anyway, so why not put a giant box there. Medical school has started - and despite the 100+ hours of study per week, I'm starting to feel the urge again. I picked up a little 2005 civic...
