Platinum Member Username: BestmankindHttp://www.rdaudio.net... Post Number: 19034 Registered: Oct-05 | the prices are reasonable for the work involved in making the box. |
Gold Member Username: Naledge503Http://www.LowDownForu... Post Number: 3283 Registered: Jun-06 | Thats crazy looking. Made here in Portland |
Platinum Member Username: BestmankindHttp://www.rdaudio.net... Post Number: 19038 Registered: Oct-05 | then it must be good. i heard people in oregon have nothing to do so when they do something, they really get in to it. lol. |
Platinum Member Username: BestmankindHttp://www.rdaudio.net... Post Number: 19039 Registered: Oct-05 | damn blazers had to break lakers winning streak. lol. ehhhh it was bound to happen. |
Gold Member Username: Naledge503Http://www.LowDownForu... Post Number: 3284 Registered: Jun-06 | Yep cant win'em all. Now if the Blazers can play like that consistently. "then it must be good. i heard people in oregon have nothing to do so when they do something, they really get in to it. lol." this is true lol I actually had my old w3's in a subzero sealed enclosure. |
Platinum Member Username: Chaunb3400Huntsville, Alabama U.S. Post Number: 13983 Registered: Jul-05 | lol...according to a study, portland is the best city to live in the U.S. How much do you think fisher or phil will charge for a box like that? |
Platinum Member Username: BestmankindHttp://www.rdaudio.net... Post Number: 19041 Registered: Oct-05 | fisher would be a bit cheaper than phil but both would charge more than that site i think. yeah portland is very nice. i lived up in seattle with my cousin for about a year in the past. we decided to drive down to cali during the thanksgiving break. anyways on the way, we stopped at portland to eat and to see how the city is. its beautiful. but the rest of oregon is boring. its trees after trees after trees. lol. |
Platinum Member Username: BestmankindHttp://www.rdaudio.net... Post Number: 19042 Registered: Oct-05 | oh and another awesome place is this island called mercer island. its like 15-20 minutes from seattle. its an island in the middle of this huge lake up there in washington. well only the rich live up there. bill gates has a house there. |
Platinum Member Username: WingmanaliveA pic is worth 1000 posts!! Post Number: 14402 Registered: Jun-06 | Those boxes look like someone's been learning off of Phil and Fisher. Personally I'd rather get one from one of those two than the site. At least they would take pics along the way, not to mention they have a fantastic rep here. |

Platinum Member Username: WingmanaliveA pic is worth 1000 posts!! Post Number: 14422 Registered: Jun-06 | Sub arrived. Nice packing I'll say that. Looks like one big happy family lol. Everythings coming together. Ordered the fuses last night. Now to design and build the box. I'm nervous with such a small recommended enclosure size though. .45 cu's vented @ 27hz??? Personally I'd have it in nothing smaller than 2 cu's but we'll see. Fun fun. I'd be in a much better mood about all of this but I just found out my father was told he has a malignant tumor on his bladder. With the meds he's on for his high BP they can't operate. They're saying 2-5 years. I'm trying to be positive about it. He just retired 2 months ago. Damn. |
Gold Member Username: Naledge503Http://www.LowDownForu... Post Number: 3294 Registered: Jun-06 | I would make and try out a few different enclosures if you have the time to do so. See what you like best. I'm sorry to hear about your father Paul. I'll send out a prayer for him. |
Platinum Member Username: BestmankindHttp://www.rdaudio.net... Post Number: 19071 Registered: Oct-05 | that looks sooooo clean. paul you got yourself a little sq machine right there. now you just need some nice door speakers and an amp to power it and you are all set buddy. |

Make a guest appearance at the meet I sorry about your dad Paul. I'll send one out as well for him Paul. And I've been meaning to ask this, what does it mean to be on a team, like Team RD Audio? Obviously you get lower prices. But you just go out to as many competitions as you can and rep the company? Let people get a taste, if you will, of what the companies equipment can do? That pretty much sum it up or am I missing something? |

Platinum Member Username: WingmanaliveA pic is worth 1000 posts!! Post Number: 14426 Registered: Jun-06 | Thanks guys. I'm just in a little shock about it. My grandmother may have to watch her son get buried. It's not something anyone can easily handle. I'm worried about my kids. They'll have to deal with this when they're about 10. Anyway things can and always do change so we'll see what happens. The sub. Wow I'm liking it. The cone and motor reminds me of the eclipse. I did some surveying yesterday and it looks like the only place for my amp is under the crew cab seat. The rear seat doesn't move. At least it'll be hidden and also accessible. |

Platinum Member Username: WingmanaliveA pic is worth 1000 posts!! Post Number: 14427 Registered: Jun-06 | Another thing is that the cone isn't as stiff like SI or FI's were. Almost like it's been broken in already. She looks and feels like a mighty punch. |

I can't convince myself to use the recommended enclosure size. I just can't see it. Not to mention to get the tuning freqs of my port it would need to be like 54" long lol. I'm bumping up its' size a bit and I'm going to use poly as well. She'll be in the low 30hz's. Flush mount as well. |

Platinum Member Username: Chaunb3400Huntsville, Alabama U.S. Post Number: 13990 Registered: Jul-05 | ok..noob box builder question..what do you use to cut the circle for the sub...I have read like 4 different things..what works best?? |
Gold Member Username: Naledge503Http://www.LowDownForu... Post Number: 3333 Registered: Jun-06 | Router with a jig for circular cuts. I dont know all the proper terminology lol. Thats what I read is the best though. |
Platinum Member Username: WingmanaliveA pic is worth 1000 posts!! Post Number: 14491 Registered: Jun-06 | Setup would be the jigsaw. Draw the circle, drill a pilot hole and cut away. $20 tool. Perfect circles would be the router. More setup, a tad tricky when you reach the end of the circle. (The jig is pivoted in the center. When the center falls out you need to catch it or risk digging into the sides). Tool is much more expensive. $100-$300+ Roto zip works the same way as a router. Just easier to handle. $50? I've always had success with the jig. Sharp blade, a little patience and it's all good. It's so damn funny to see these guys cutting holes with a large reciprocating saw, (big sawzall). Looks like they used a chainsaw lol. |
Gold Member Username: Nyyfan1315 MAG USA Post Number: 8819 Registered: Jul-06 | "Setup would be the jigsaw. Draw the circle, drill a pilot hole and cut away. $20 tool." Word. Looks great Pauly. Good work bud. |

Platinum Member Username: WingmanaliveA pic is worth 1000 posts!! Post Number: 14500 Registered: Jun-06 | So was I. It's an adrenaline rush to say the least. When my wife went into labor with our second child I rushed her to the hospital and tried to explain as calmly as I could to the receptionist that she was in labor. The lady with a bandaged hand was in front of us. I "had" to be rude and interject. I was looked at like I was crazy. I said: "Lady, unless you want to deliver my child in the waiting room you best let me through!" My wife's water broke in the hallway while in the wheelchair. She delivered in less than an hour. |

Gold Member Username: Naledge503Http://www.LowDownForu... Post Number: 3340 Registered: Jun-06 | Well my box is finished The front of the box is where BJ's logo is. There were alot of space restrictions. And with the dimensions I had to work with, the Q's couldnt be mounted width wise (left to right). So they are going to be mounted lengthwise (front to back). I may be able to sit it in there to where they are left to right but if I do that, the box will be sitting on the wheel wells a little bit. |

ALOT of people dont like them BUT there are a ton of people that do. The main thing that people dont like about them is that the owner thinks his products are superior to all. If anything happens to a customers product, in his eyes its cause the customer did something wrong. They almost got sued by JL for copying their designs. JL actually got a cease and desist against eD. There is much more but it would be a novel. |
