It doesn't matter how he modded it.If he had no clue what he was doing he could have easily brought the score down.

guys guys please, he obviously had a bad expierence with the wicked one folded horn, so let him be.

and btw mr superduperbassman - just because the # on the mic is lower, does not mean that it wont sound louder to ear.

ive heard setups that only did mid 40's in a daily box that sounded alot louder than setups that did 50's on the TL. so that claim\comment is completly useless.

but ill tell you something - regardless of the fact that the guy who designed it does not know why it works the way it does, does not mean it does not work. YOU had bad results, that does not mean its a crappily designed horn little man.

just because it is not the loudest box you have ever had, does not mean its a piece of garbage. so stop sniffing your *** because you think your shit smells like roses. voice your OBJECTIVE OPPINION **CONSTRUCTIVLY** and then thats it.

you could have said something along the lines of;

"my friend built a wicked one for a pair of w0's, and i have heard setups that sounded better and got louder than it, but that was my expierence with that type of enclosure, and i know that if the horn was designed for the subs, it most likely would have gotten louder and sounded better. maybe try to make a horn desigend for your specific drivers?"

instead of acting like you are the king of the forum and you know everything there is to know.

just a tip, because with the attitude ive seen you having around these parts, you certainly wont make friends quickly.

no you dont, you ****ing dont have to compare anything on a mic.

if you feel that it sounds louder, then thats your **** oppinion. IMO - 30hz sounds WAY louder tha 60hz burp boxes.

sure its objective but ive heard alot of systems, and i have access to a termlab and i work on a SPL van with 12kw all the time.

so dont come out and say your socalled friends wicked one with some w0's wasnt loud enough for you. because thats one expierence, and ive heard a lot more expierences by a lot more people, and you are the first with a negative one.

so im going to believe the majority of DIY people with all of their expierence (including RAMOS) than you and your arrogant comments about everything.

but you have no proof of that...
so, in other words, we have a WO, thats doing 137dB, and no real arguement against it....

you never metered yours, so, maybe you should shut the fuck up... //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

How do you know I didn't meter it?Just a guess on your behalf.See, you bash me with all this "proof" bull shit, but you don't have any proof either.

But I never did get to meter that set-up.Buuut, compared to the only set up I had on the TL (many others on the AC though) did close to a 138 and it was close in output when burped to the ear.Someday I will meter it.But until then, that's my opinion.It's not the greatest box ever, but it sure as shit isn't trash just because your "friend" might or might not have built it properly.

well, its not a bad design.

you are the first person ive ever heard having a bad expierence with one.

 

[req 5,000+ posts]

might be not the best, but its far from shit. and i hardly believe it is "not even designed".

you poophead.

 

[req 5,000+ posts]

well, are you up to building a proper design for this kid?

because like i said several times, you are the first person ive ever heard giving a bad review of the wicked one.

fan-tastic.

what you wanna do now?

 

[req 5,000+ posts]

cool.

howd you design it? ive not delved into the pages and pages of tech stuff on horn desin and theory. interesting idea to have double throat\mouth area with a small footprint.

cool way to replace the driver, make a "flushmount" cutout (like youd flush a speaker baffle in a box" in the outer wall right over the driver and put a 3\4 piece of plexi and some nice machiene screws with some Tnuts CA glued onto the back and some weather strip between.

that would look sweet (make it big enough diamater to put the speaker in.

cool stuff.

lol good luck with that.

so if you dont know anything about the theory how do you know what volume to have in the throat\mouth and shit?

 

[req 5,000+ posts]

so you just throw in T\S and it will make the optimized horn for you?

cool beans.

do you just kinda make it close to the horn shape when you cad ieet up?
