i'd have to find some way to fit a 5 foot long peice of pipe in my stealth.

one reason why I love my van...12 foot pipes...blah, just load 'em in back.

just FYI, bulding supply places only carry up to 6" PVC. ive NEVER seen any higher ID than that anywhere (was making a potato gun for a watermellon, dont ask)

so the idea went down the 'tubes' you might say.

heh. and $51 shipped for ONE PIECE is way too expensive for me. if ya can find it locally somewhere.. let me know =P

besides, Sonotube or other concrete-setting materials would be easier for building sub tubes than PVC anyway. Cover with a few coats of resin, and you're good to go.

like I said I'm lazy. I figured hell have it shipped to my door in a day and not have to do as much as drill two holes and stick a few screws in there. it takes 15 minutes to throw a sub in a tube lol. better than taking a few days to build a box.

BTW, your home stereo actually works at 1-ohm?

I thought most of those ran @ 8-ohm maybe 4-ohm?

 

[myvanpounds 10+ year member]

each channel is suposed to have a 6 ohm sub. but i have each channel running a 1 ohm load

 

[james33440 10+ year member]

and, you really believe that your amp/receiver will last with a 1-ohm load on each channel?
