Diamond Member Username: BestmankindPost Number: 20868 Registered: Oct-05 | guys i might be going to game 5 of the western conference finals between the lakers and the spurs. that is if there is a game 5. i am sure there will be. anyways a pair of tickets is going to cost me $700. so i am really debating right now. lol. i could get a dd9115 for that money. hahaha. but the game would be an experience of a lifetime. lol. |

Gold Member Username: Nyyfan1315 Mag USA Post Number: 9656 Registered: Jul-06 | Do it man. When I went to game 3 last year of the ALDS with the Yanks and CLE, it was probably the greatest 4 hours of my life. It was worth every penny of the ticket. Go and have a blast man. I know how much you want to go. |

Diamond Member Username: BestmankindPost Number: 20869 Registered: Oct-05 | the thing is i will end up going but i am trying to decide if i should wait til the lakers make it to the finals. i can only afford to go to one game. there is no guarantee that the lakers will make it to the finals so i don't know what to do. lol. i know it seems like a waste of money to a lot of you but for a basketball junky like me, its a chance of a life time. i've been to many basketball games but never playoff game. ahhhhhhhhhhhh the choices i must make. lol. |

Gold Member Username: Nyyfan1315 Mag USA Post Number: 9660 Registered: Jul-06 | Lol. If you are a true fan (which I know you are), you will make the right decision. As you said Chad, "its a chance of a life time" |

Gold Member Username: Nyyfan1315 Mag USA Post Number: 9661 Registered: Jul-06 | BTW, personally I would never pay $700 for a basketball ticket or a ticket to any sporting event EXCEPT for a Yankees playoff game. The Yankees are to me as the Lakers are to Chad. |

Gold Member Username: RedlinerWilmington, Ma Post Number: 4416 Registered: Jun-05 | hey paul im not trying to argue at all with you. I Just want to say this since i am a server/bartender. the restaurant industry is dying right now nobody has the money to go out to eat. I made so much more money last year than this year and i work at a nice place. Chad only thing i want to tell you it is not easy to start up your own place it is difficult and theres lots of things you have to worry about that you probably havent even thought about not trying to make you change your mind but just saying it is tough if you do decide to try best of luck |

Diamond Member Username: BestmankindPost Number: 20873 Registered: Oct-05 | charlie i totally understand what you are saying. thanks for looking out. the thing is you have to go out and take a chance. yes i can keep working for someone and make the money i am making right now and be okay. but i don't want that. i want to be rich. also it don't matter what people say to me, it would never discourage me or change my mind.  so you can play it safe or you can take a chance. i for one want to take a chance. its not a risky move i am making cause i am researching alot about it lately. oh and i think its about time i start thinking about getting married. if i want to start a business, it would be nice to have a fine wife by my side encouraging me on. |

Platinum Member Username: WingmanaliveA pic is worth 1000 posts!! Post Number: 16695 Registered: Jun-06 | Lol Jesse. I just got my email and made a thread about it in the sub section. We must get the same alerts from ED. I'm curious as to the value. If it's worth it I might buy a few. Yeah Charlie I know it's not as strong as it used to be. It's funny cause in this time in our economy there are still so many ppl out there that are still so well off that gas could be $10/gallon and it wouldn't bother them. Chad if anyone can beat the odds it would be you. You're still young enough to rebound in case of failure and old/smart enough to prevent it. I think the key to any new business is to add something just a tad different to it. Make it your own and unique. There's a burger shop here named Five Guys. Anyone hear of it? They sell very simple and plain food. Burgers and fries. That's it. You can't even get cheese on your fries. But here's the catchy part. They stock, cut and fry their own french fries. They literally line the walls with hundreds of 20lb bags of potatoes. Free shelled peanuts on every table while you wait for your order. When you leave you take a bag of fries with you. Can you get a better burger elsewhere? Sure. Do you want something other than a burger? You're out of luck. Yet the place is packed every day. In a half hour during lunch one day they called the numbers of 25 customers. $8 a customer X say average 35 customers/hr X 10hrs/day = Cha...ching! |
|
Gold Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 9260 Registered: Jun-04 | Yeah they have five guys around here and it gets pretty busy but im not a fan...the burgers taste like I could make at home...the fries are what seem to get the acclaim from customers...but if I remember right they are just made with peanut oil and are very greasy when you get them...in the case of five guys I think its just because they are fairly new here and fast food is just simpler for people than going home and eating... probably somewhat due to a busy lifestyle by the way I dont know if you guys saw my post in the other thread but if you didnt I wish you all the best in your new business if you decide to start one |

Diamond Member Username: BestmankindPost Number: 20876 Registered: Oct-05 | thanks sean. my diner will have the 50s feel with hamburgers that have the home cook taste from the bbq grill. also some secret ingriedent will be mixed in to the hamburger patty. i have a friend who is an awesome cook and we would try out many things. |

And Sean, like I said it's not the food but the novelty. Make your $500,000 in two years and quit when it dies off. Start over again in something else. |

Platinum Member Username: WingmanaliveA pic is worth 1000 posts!! Post Number: 16704 Registered: Jun-06 | Yanks, you catch my drift lol? Five Guys is cool but bottom line what IS it? Simply a burger joint with a new angle. |

Gold Member Username: Nyyfan1315 Mag USA Post Number: 9665 Registered: Jul-06 | Chad, if you hit it big with this restaurant, host a special Ecoustics cook out for us all at your place lol. Of course, you can buy the plane tickets . |
|
Gold Member Username: Nyyfan1315 Mag USA Post Number: 9666 Registered: Jul-06 | Oh I see where your coming from Paul. All it is is a mere burger joint with more options and as you said a "new angle". But the angle they took is delicious lol. |

Gold Member Username: Nyyfan1315 Mag USA Post Number: 9667 Registered: Jul-06 | Here's a question for you guys. My dad is in the process of buying himself his "midlife crisis" car. Which will make his Dodge Ram truck.....useless. But it would only get about $4k in trade/sell value so we will just keep it. He said we are just going to use it for hauling trash to the dump and other random acts like that. My question is, do you think it would be over the line to ask him if I could use the truck for car audio? Lol. |

JMO but if my son asked me that then I would tell him to save some money and buy it off me. Then have your fun. Trucks are hard to deck out in audio gear anyway. At least to get the results you can get in a car. There's just no room for subs. Is it an extended cab? |
|
Gold Member Username: Nyyfan1315 Mag USA Post Number: 9683 Registered: Jul-06 | Yea it is. I would take the back seat IF I owned it. Wouldn't bother using it if I couldn't. I'll probably ask him about it once he gets his car here in a little bit and offer him some $$$. We'll see what happens down the road. |

Post Number: 13790 Registered: Jul-05 | pix of that 10 RE SX i did last wk this 1 sounds even better than d 1st 1 i did about 3wks ago because this is BRAND NEW where as other 1 was pretty beaten up   got yet another box job today for a 1 15 TREO SSI to go in a 2000 lancer & in even more news - tomorrow a guy is coming to buy my dd9512 & that guy is d same guy who i did d 1st RE SX 10 for 3wks ago ...he just loves how that DD sounds when he heard how my box which i loaned to a buddy (who also has a 9512) sounds so he is getting my sub with that box (he once had a pair in his former car so he wants 1 again) ...i hope his civic rear glass can take it since those REALLY shake with plenty bass so now im wondering waht next shall i get since i was pretty much set on 2 10s RE SE but i always wanted to hear & mess with a 1 12 IDmax but im kinda tired of 12s so dunno wtf is next for me ....  } |

Platinum Member Username: Rovin1 15 = 149.1DBsTrinidad & T... Post Number: 13791 Registered: Jul-05 | hehe thanks - got d idea from looking at that HO box from JL ...next job is space allows im going to stretch that oval even wider also did a 1 15 kicker cvr last night & tested it today - now i really thought i had calculated right & tuned it for 35hz but it sounds like 38-40hz but boy does that sh1t wang hard ! ....really surprised me for a 400wrms sub its rocks ....kicker FTW !? ...lol ..... |
|
Gold Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 9277 Registered: Jun-04 | nice looking box there Rovin...and as far as the kicker yeah you only gain so much in the higher caliber subs....port tuning wise it could be where the port is on the box or how the box is positioned in the car...id say maybe even how close the port is to the wall but you know what your doing so I know that isnt the case |
|
Gold Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 9278 Registered: Jun-04 | Rovin did you listen to a re sr or an se |
|
Platinum Member Username: Rovin1 15 = 149.1DBsTrinidad & T... Post Number: 13794 Registered: Jul-05 | no sean i never heard a SE or SR play neither a idmax ...but that idmax has such a rep that i always wanted to hear 1 i think i really made a port length mistake with that kicker since i just feel i made d port too short & its really playing around 38-40 as i can tell by d way it sounds but anyway d owner just came for it & likes it but IMO its a tad to high for my taste so i told him when he buys his amp & installs everything to come back to me to lengthen d port if he wants it to drop lower will post pix of it later ... |
|
Gold Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 9280 Registered: Jun-04 | ok on the port...the reason I was asking about the sr or the se is because i was considering buying a new sub...I thought about an sx but they need too much power but so i know how loud does an sx 10 get on say 1000 watts rms...yeah the idmax does have a pretty good sound from what I hear...I dont think the older ones liked being pushed hard though...they had some kind of issue |
|
Platinum Member Username: Rovin1 15 = 149.1DBsTrinidad & T... Post Number: 13796 Registered: Jul-05 | strange this - last sx 10 i did was a dual 2ohms & wired to 1ohm on my orion 2500d amp & i went up to 25\40 but didnt want to chance going more becasue it was a brand new sub & it bumped pretty good but on that same power my 9512 POUNDS quite hard making me think how efficient that DD really is then btw guy who has d SX is powering it with a USamps XT series 4000d which is rated to do 1500wrms @ 1ohm (3 40A fuses) & it was a nice match for that SX so what im thinking is even though it can handle extra power it doesnt really translate in considerably more output so IMO 1000-1200 real wrms is fine for it ... been doing some quick reading on ID forum & it does seem like previous V2 IDmax did have mechanical problem but V3 corrected that ... |
|
Gold Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 9282 Registered: Jun-04 | ok so what your saying is the sx 10 really didnt get that loud compared to the dd at the same volume level...and if I bought a new re sub thats kind of what im looking for plus if I ran the sx id probably have to buy a new amp because it wouldnt be loud enough on the pg xenon 400.1...ill just wait and see what my re entry level 12 does that I already own ps...I also own a image dynamics idq 12 that ill throw in the same sealed box the re is going in if it fits and compare the two subs running off the pg xenon 400.1...later ill probably compare them in a ported box |
|
Platinum Member Username: Rovin1 15 = 149.1DBsTrinidad & T... Post Number: 13797 Registered: Jul-05 | oh so u already own a RE RE or is it RE SR guess ur experimenting with new stuff too then 400wrms just wont cut it for me since i had a crystal audio 300wrms svc 12" which i used on d 3&4 bridged chans of my alpine f545 which does 400wrms @ 14.4v - sounded very nice\smoothe\clean but if a fav song comes on & i just want a 'lil' more loud that is not enough for me ...i think around 1000-1200wms will be realistic for me ... |
|
Gold Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 9283 Registered: Jun-04 | yeah I have a re re 12 its rated 175 rms so ill have to set the gain conservative of course...I havent gotten to listen to it yet and I dont expect it to be super clean but I originally got it for spl and decided to try it for daily use as well just to see what it would do and since I have both the image dynamics and the re and they both are low fs speakers (20 hz I think) I figured id compare them both...I have a 1 cf sealed box to put them in...as far as 1000 watts I dont really want to run that much power because I only have a 110 amp alt in my car and I dont think that would be enough alt to focus on very low frequencies and have the current be very stable...(I want to try and get loud as low as I can) |
|
Platinum Member Username: Rovin1 15 = 149.1DBsTrinidad & T... Post Number: 13798 Registered: Jul-05 | well u know im mr. crazy since i run my orion 2500d & alpine f545 with a stock 80A alt & 2 yellows ...but i dont play music loud for daily & if i choose to play really loud then most i can get is about 30-40mins then voltage starts to drop near to 12v ... |
|
Gold Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 9284 Registered: Jun-04 | yeah thats nuts...I hope the re re 12 turns out well and im thinking it might after watching results with different equipment my brother has owned...also ive done some research on my vehicle and people have done in the 140's with two 12's....one was two crossfire 12's on 600 rms in a daily box from what it looked like...he did a 142 I think which was the highest spl I found but this is a trunk car with no seats that fold down so thats not bad |

Then I'm stuck working from home the next two days.  Big project, pressure to get done, blah blah blah. Why do big companies squash their own soldiers? Then when all goes well the higher paid get to pin another star on their hat while the "soldiers" get sent out to the next battle(job). Excuse the rant. I hate losing holiday weekends because execs demand sh1t NOW NOW NOW!!! Oh, your son is sick? Fug you get it done. You can't work 60 hrs/week? Work an extra 4 a night at home for free, just cause you're on board. Haven't had a vaca in a year? Fug you, we just pushed up your schedule, deal with it. Some companies when they see a breaking board just dump a load of cement on it to see how you react. Sometimes I think about cutting grass for a living I really do lol. I'm done. |

Gold Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 9297 Registered: Jun-04 | well Rovin I got my re re 12 in the 1 cubic foot sealed box today....I set the amp gain at 150 watts rms on the pg xenon 400.1 and tested with everything flat and I was disappointed....it didnt start to come alive until 35 hz but seemed pretty strong from 37 hz to about 45 hz and started to die off at about 50 hz....I only tested the box in one position so im not sure if it will improve much any other way....30 hz seemed to be the starting point of pretty tight bass and 20 hz was actually loud enough to hear but wasnt tight....spl wise id guess the sub is in the very low 120's from 37 to 45 hz |
|
Gold Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 9299 Registered: Jun-04 | well I just measured the spl of the re re 12 on 150 watts in the sealed box with everything set flat on the amp and radio and it did a 120 db on the radio shack hand held spl meter that only reads whole db numbers on 41 hz 42 hz and 43 hz and acorrding to the radio shack correction chart posted on the web you add 2.5 db to the reading starting at 40 hz so im hitting 122 db probably at those three frequencies....and the sub did seem to hit good a little higher than 45 hz....up to 48 hz seemed ok then it fell off db wise pretty fast.... http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?htech&983682086&openflup&1&4 whats sad is I just realized with the correction chart I probably hit 128 db with my two tangband 6.5's in the abc box at 43 hz but everything wasnt set flat and that was about 280 rms total running them |

Platinum Member Username: Rovin1 15 = 149.1DBsTrinidad & T... Post Number: 13812 Registered: Jul-05 | thats how funny messing with spl is think i'll stick to my original idea of 2 10s RE SE maybe even do sealed since im really after 55% SQ 45% loud ... |
|
Gold Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 9300 Registered: Jun-04 | I just dropped my image dynamics idq 12 in and on the same power rating....its behind in spl but im resetting the gain to 350 watts this time and im sure it will be louder than the re re 12....preliminary results show the frequency spl response to be pretty much the same as the re re 12.... but the sub is tighter (as expected)....ahhh wonderfull acoustics got to love it (NOT) ps...firing forward got me more frequency extention up high but i lost 2 db on my max spl compared to firing backward (this is with the re re 12) |

Gold Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 9301 Registered: Jun-04 | Well I tested the image dynamics idq 12 with sub level up on the headunit (because I forgot) but everything else was flat and I hit 125 db at 41 hz 42hz and 43 hz firing up at the trunk lid which would be a 127. something db after the correction chart on a 350 watt setting and it seems like I gain 2 to 3 db firing up compared to backward....but I messed around with placement and my trunk definately makes a big difference frequency extension wise how far or close it is to the rear of the trunk when its firing backwards because it hit good all the way up to about 58 hz when it was postioned one way vs only being able to extend up to about 48 hz when it was positioned another way....a 5 db increase isnt bad but I dont want to beat up my image dynamics for spl so I might fall back to the re re 12 for that and try ported next....I get some very annoying vibrations from my back deck and overhead light when I fire up at the trunk lid though ( my back deck flexes) id probably gain more if my back deck wouldnt hold back pressure...._I plan on removing my back deck speakers and either just leave them out or experiment with porting the back deck and see if it helps |

Gold Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 9303 Registered: Jun-04 | thanks I think it would be fairly impressive for a trunk car ....two l7 10's will be too much cone area wont it....(160 square inches in street A right) two l7 10's would be 200 square inches |

Diamond Member Username: BestmankindPost Number: 20937 Registered: Oct-05 | don't know about the sq inch thing. but i know tuan from team toxic bass was running 2 10inch solo x's for his street A setup. it was awesome seeing 2 10s hit 156db on a tl though. |

Gold Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 9305 Registered: Jun-04 | that is good but its solo x's too and id expect them to slam....my friend had 1500 rms on each l7 10 he had and they took it....he had two l7 10's and hit a best of like 147.2 db and I think that was in his front seat in a extend cab truck....but he only had a stock alternator (60 amp I think) and I dont think it was tuned right for his truck for max spl |

Diamond Member Username: BestmankindPost Number: 20944 Registered: Oct-05 | charlie put the dmm on the amp's speaker output and see if you get any voltage. ac volts. you probably know that. anyways if you do get voltage then take a aa battery to the speaker cables that are hooked up to the speakers to see if the speakers move. also sux about the box. i am sure phil would take care of it. |

Gold Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 9306 Registered: Jun-04 | Rovin...."140DBS with just 400wrms is that possible - seen it done with 1000wrms though" we did 142.2 at my bro's best frequency in a daily box tuned to 35 hz on one audioque 2.5 12 on 600 rms car on (mtx 4501 amplifier) and 144.0 db car off in street a in a spl burp box in my brothers jeep liberty so yeah 140 db could have been done on 400 rms with just that 12....best we ever did was 145.6 db on my brothers termlab in a burp box but we gave it more power....all those scores were sealed up on the dash and on a termlab but a 140 in my car will be a serious challenge since its a trunk car and the seats dont fold down....and just top recap....as of now im doing 127.something db in a sealed 1 cubic foot box with set to 350 rms at 41 42 43 hz with my image dynamics 12 but I think im going to sell my image dynamics and see what I can do with the re re 12....I have a rockford punch z but I dont expect much out of that with 7 mm excursion and 100 rms power handling(the re has 12 mm 175 rms and the image has 13 mm i believe and 350 rms) |
