I dont think you know the secrets //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/cool.gif.3bcaf8f141236c00f8044d07150e34f7.gif

Don't know which "secrets" you are referring to exactly. Nothing I saw in the three brought to me were anything super duper top secret g14 classified or anything. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

not realy!
i prefer enclosures that actualy enhance every last once of sound that the subwoofer can produce, it being loud is just a secondary effect, a well designed and built enclosure to match the sub will shield the best of both worlds a loud system that has SQ, and no, im not talking about an SQL enclosure and im not saying that it will compete with a system designed for just SPL.

but getting a sub to recreate the music that your HU is sending to the amp is a combination of a properly designed enclosure that allows the sub to properly reproduce the audio signals.

of course that assuming that the amp, head unint and all other aspects are up to the task including a quality sub woofer.

just saying.

Ok, now let me ask you a question about this TYPE of box....if you want a box that has every acoustical charicteristic, do you have any idea how much that would cost you...and how much money you would be wasting...because the difference in sound would be barely even audible.......you can even ask mark...I requested a TCAB from him...I wanted it re-enforced, and 45 DEG. on all corners and edges and seems so there were absolutely no 90 DEG parts in the entire box....because ACOUSTICALLY that is the best for a box. FROM EXPERIENCE AND TESTING...he told me that for the extra time and money it would cost it wasnt worth it because to the mic...it barely makes a diff....if any at all.

NOW...when i went to school we designed a box that was re-enforced to the point where you look in the box, and there is basically a basket made of wood to fit the sub, wit all 45deg corners for 2 10" L7's....they sold it for 500 bucks!!!!!!

So you go ahead and pay all that money for your "acoustically correct" built box....

now on the other hand....most shops do charge 200+ or close enough to that for a WELL DESIGNED dual 12" or dual 15" ported box....id say maybe 1 in 10 boxes that I hear from local shops can get as loud as a TCAB.....but the diff is these local shops have to put in good effort to get as loud as a TCAB for AS class competition...aka street beater.......now put your general local shops competition box against a TCAB competition box for just SPL...designed for SPL.....obviously,,,the reigning world champ would probably win..

AND WHY DO ALL YOU HATERS TALK TOOOO MUCH TRASH......YET DONT BACK IT UP!!! LETS SEE SOME NUMBERS BICHES!!

30% more performance ? so if my local shop builds an enclosure. It puts up a 150, the tcab is gonna do 195 ? Can I get that in writing ? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

ok, i dont want to fight over this...but I SAIDDDDD maybe 10% of most peoples local shops...the shops that have never built a competition car, or SPL vehicle.... can not build a street beater box for 2 12" type R's that will do a 150...with hardly any effort. Maybe if they really tried, and built a great designed box....that will cost 200+ anyways...

if the shops around you can do this, then feel fortunate...you personally might have the numbers on your box...but did you build it?? or did the shop?? or do you own the shop...... do you compete?? was the box built knowing it was goign to be in competitions..... and if you didnt intend to compete, or if you WERE NOT going for a competition box....lets see the numbers man.

Don't judge with a TL in SQ my brother. I have personally built everything that has ever gone into mine, or any other family members cars. Do I own a shop ? no . Did I own a shop ? Yes. Do I compete ? Not recently, but have in the past . This ain't my first rodeo cowboy. Lot's of these "mystical secrets" are old school tricks my brother. Numbers ? Numbers don't mean jack to me, I drive a fooking convertable. But if you stick around long enough, you never know what I might get into //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

why doesnt someone with a tcab just show us the insides and anything else that would be important?

there is nothing special on the insides.
