People with typeR's and TCAB....

[CBFryman2 5,000+ posts]

im pretty sure he asked the opinion of type-r and tcab owners i dont believe you are either so whos in the wrong here? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif

your opinion was offered after the conversation had become "fix the SX or sell some shit and get even better"

 

[nissanrider06 10+ year member]

he offered his opionion, who cares, u simpley have to state that IN YOUR OPINION tcab and the R all overrated and make a recommandation!

I dont see why u guys have to bash each other and resort to name calling //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

i think we are past that //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif

Check the coils, if they arent blown but it still scrapes that should be covered by warrantee and you should have RE fix it. Put it back in, problem solved.

Umm, I don't have any papers that say anything about warranty... So I assume I just call RE up and tell them my info and I'll be all set?

****, 2 pages and still the thread starter really hasn't even said what he wants. Tell us what you want, and we can choose the right setup for you. Just buy precision ports from parts express and I can help you design a "TCAB" box.

I said what I want. Opinions..

And I WAS talking about the PA MOFO not the Mojo.

So your opinions are still welcome. The plan is to sell the MOFO/Box for a quick 200-250 locally so I'll have some extra dough. Now the opinons come in here... Sell the SX and buy a TCAB with some other sub(s) that you guys recommend OR fix the SX and tcab that bitch.

Either way I want a TCAB just to check the hype

Remember. The Goal is HIGHEST DD SPL with the handicaps being ONE TX1505 and 7.5 GROSS volume for a box.

EDIT: There's a pic of the MOFO on page one if anyone cares. It's in 4 cubes@32

Your guys opinions outweigh mine. So let me know what ya think!

Oh, OK. So i was in the right by talking smack about the MOFO. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I don't know why i thought it was a MOJO because somebody else did, i should've just went back and looked at the pics.

Anyways, i've never like MOFO's, way too inefficient.

My bad, thought you were talking about Mojo's

 

[JohnBlayz142 10+ year member]

LMAO. Listen to this guy.
Do you honestly think it is just some aeroports slapped on a box?

If you hadn't noticed, pretty much every box mark makes for a customer is laid out differently (not EVERY box, but MOST). You honestly can't believe that you can just whip up some box layout and have it perform as well as mark's boxes. I'm not saying that you can't make something that works extremely well, but mark sells alot of boxes for a reason.

Notice, i never said you can't make a good box, BUT i feel that mark sells boxes because he knows what he is doing and is VERY good at what he does.

Nothing in the post you quoted said anything about "slapping aeroports on a box"

I love how people look at post count and think I don't know what I'm talking about. For all of you who don't know, I did TypeR's original install of 2 18XXX and a Crossfire vr4000d. I've done my fair share of installs over the last 5 years or so, and feel I could make a box that rivals a "TCAB". In fact, I made one yesterday, and although the goal was NOT spl, I'll bet it will throw up some respectable numbers....

I'm not trying to brag, just don't wish to be treated like a newb when I am not one. People on this forum sure seem to have "TCAB" boners. It's not a difficult concept really. And correct me if I'm mistaken, but he seems to only use Type R's in his boxes, at least the ones on his site, so I don't see hwo he is such an expert. Let me see a few db drag records before telling me is such an expert. Otherwise, he's just another guy out there building enclosures. I could give a shit about MECA.

I'm not talking smack, just sick of people kissing *** so hard....

I just dropped my SX15 in about 5 cubes with some aero ports, and let me tell you, it has low end like no other. I feel it could do some very respectable numbers, but only time will tell.

And i could give a shit about dB drag, whats your point? Tell you what, put your meter at the headrest and break a 150, maybe THEN i'll give you some props. Why the **** would i want to compete in dB drag against a sea of CRX's with massively huge cargo areas and gobs of power? Hell, even in the street class in MECA i get beat by CRX's, but when it comes to reality i hold my own VERY well.

Even better, how about you run your setup on a 40 amp fuse, maybe then you could compete in MECA. Some people don't realize how hard it really is to be competitive in an org. determined by cone area AND power.

Not every box uses type-r's, they just happen to perform VERY well and don't cost alot. Why spend the extra money on a sub if it isn't going to perform any better?

I'd almost venture to say that he's made more boxes for other subs than he has type-rs.

Until you can backup your claims of being equal/superior, you can exit.

You just asked me why you would want to compete against CRX's with huge cargo areas and gobs of power? Probably because it would be impressive if you won, unlike MECA. Forgive me, but everyone I have ever talked to doing MECA tells me they'd rather be in db drag because it's more legitimate and/or impressive.

"Why spend the extra money on a sub"

-Why spend the extra money on a box is my question. I'll build it myself, that's all

I'm saying. Also, meters don't belong at the headrest, real men do it from the dash.

If TypeR decides to buy a TL setup, then I will be happy to show you scores. I am not really into all out SPL however, my box will tear your head off with songs like Late Nite Tip and Sole Survivor due to it's large volume though.

Good day, sir //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

edit: and I ran my Orion 1200d on a 60A fuse all day when I had it, I do realize it's not 40 however.

Those people who think MECA is a joke don't compete in MECA because 95% of them couldn't get thier shit run on any sort of fuse. I ran a 2500d (.5 ohm) on a 50 amp fuse for finals last year, if you think running a 1200d on a 60 amp is worth bragging about, you are greatly mistaken.

If you want to talk about impressive, do a number at the headrest. IMO, thats FAR more legitimate than a dash OR kick score. Honestly, what kind of person sticks their head against the windshield or in the kick and says "d*mn thats loud". NOBODY. They listen at the headrest. With your setup (as far as you speaking about it), you could probably do well in reality if you are tuned low.

People spend the money on mark's boxes because they KNOW they perform. Take for example a person who i sold my nine.1 to. He bought a box from someone else on the forum, someone who is in to SPL but doesn't have credentials here for building top notch boxes. And guess what, the kid IM's me yesterday saying that his new custom box isn't as loud as the prefab one he had before.

THATS why people buy TCAB stuff, they know they are going to get performance because mark has numbers and videos to back him up. I never said that you couldn't build a quality box, but until you show some credentials, why should i believe that you could build a superior box?

All these people talk alot of shit about mark and TCAB, but most, if not all, of them do not back up any of their statements with some numbers of their own.

I hope you don't think i'm trying to argue with you, but this sort of stuff pisses me off.

TCAB Bonor is an understatement.

Not saying they are bad boxes, because the quality looks great. But people here act like if its Type R and TCAB its god. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/eyebrow.gif.fe2c18d8720fe8c7eaed347b21ea05a5.gif

Reason he uses Type R's so much is because of the Type R bonor here, reasnon there is a TCAB bonor here is because this is where he does most of his business, i guarontee you that. Not hating on Tcab, hating on 'tards.

Look at who sells a lot of drivers for a lot of money... JL, why? not because they are the best company out there. Because practically the whole audio industry has a JL Bonor because it has a good product that has been tried time and time agian and never failed expectations.

What do you think started the type-r boner here?

He uses type-rs because they work, not because they are the "boner" sub. Thats what started this whole craze in the first place. Like i said before, why spend more money on a sub that will give similar performance?

He's built plenty of boxes for other subs, FYI.

im so sick of this meca tcab bs..

youre so lame tommy...

meca is a joke btw....

i find the whole..."oh yeah, try using a xx amp fuse" thing to be very over used..stfu, fuses are ****in ghey....and **** a headrest.

just because youre a cheap *** and dont want to get a crx...doesnt make your ghey little sanction any cooler...sorry

How is trying to run a setup on a fuse any easier than trying to get a CRX loud enough to be competitive in dB drag (or any org. for that matter). I'm not going to buy a f*cking car to compete with, i spend enough money on stereo stuff as is, having a separate car is just stupid.

All the orgs have their little quirks, USACi is no exception. They are still living in the '90's with their 4 ohm amp rating rule. You wanna talk about a joke, how about rating an amp for whatever the manufacturer feels like and then boasting that the amp can be ran at .1 ohm with 20 volts. Sounds like a MUCH better system. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif

I don't understand why people talk shit about reality (headrest) scores. Have you tried the metering there? Its not so f*cking easy. Take that CRX that is doing a 156 on the dash, throw the meter at the headrest and watch them bust out a whopping 147. Meanwhile, while i only do a 150 on the dash, i can do a 149 on the headrest. What makes the CRX that much better than my car?

If you're so sick of it you can just avoid any conversation dealing with it, nobody asked you to chime in anyways. Don't knock shit until you try it.

You've been busting my balls about the same crap for months now, and guess what, you have no logic behind any of it.
