T4M* Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 Thanks. Just got back from the ride and have a nice little tone going off inside my ears. Shit bumps! Now I need to buy be a Decibel reader or something. Does anyone know of a program out there that reads decibel readings? Using a comp mic? Or am i gonna have to go on ebay and find one and spend money? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cellphone Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 . Did you route the edges of the port and add some bracing? * i used my box as an example Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T4M* Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 I didnt add bracing because the board was 17 1/4 long, yours seems to be longer, so i didnt need them. As for routing, i dont have one, so i used body filler instead and then came back and sanded it round. Did you know you can bend MDF board? I couldnt find the video where it shows making partial cuts on the board, making the board bend. However, this is another method to bend wood... My 17.25x15 boards are bent. Sorry for not taking pictures of it. I just took quick snap shots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MomentIsNow Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 Those bends are genius. As for DB meters, you might have to get a specialty one. Some mic's can't pick up low frequencies well and will give you a wrong reading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MomentIsNow Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 has anyone dealt with the MTX thunder 9500? just want some input. im thinking bout upgrading from a 15in. kicker L5 with a Hifonics brutus 1500watt mono amp to the MTX 9500 with a Rockford Fosgate T20001BD amp. just want some feedback on this sub. thanks The L5 does have a lower starting value for frequency response ( 18 - 100Hz ) This lets it play the lower freq's that the thunder 9500 can't play. BUT The 9500 has a wider frequency range than the L5 ( 32 - 150Hz ) This gives the 9500 more kick than the L5 but the L5 has a lower Hum. ( The sound you hear after a bass frequency is started. ) The L5's square construction also causes some distortion that isn't present in the 9500. Making the 9500 clearer than the L5's Therefore, if you want loud, go with the L5. If you want clear sound with a kick, go with the 9500.

T4M* Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 Here is the latest update Of My System. I made a quick Video of it..... Things I still need to do. Have too much rattle, but its only the back two windows, and license plate. My Bose Mids need to be in a box cuz I have too much voice. Ill just buy them instead of builting one. Finish Hiding the wires for the small amp. Thats it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

watson Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 i'm looking for some help with my future purchases for my jeep i don't plan on having subs, so i'm trying to get the best sound possible on a budget deck - pioneer deh-p5100ub - $200 front speakers - 6x9 alpine type-s - $120 rear speakers - 6.5 alpine type-s components - $135 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OL'DIRTYGeEEZER Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 I did my system very official, open MDF box ported through the center seat,alpine amps, 2 JL "12's No rattle, very classy bass, my goal was to make sure it was so obnoxious from the outside.

T4M* Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 u can try aero ports. Not a big fan of aero ports. Since i have lots of open area in my car, i need a big port. usually, i put a board in the center of the port to separate each speaker's sound, but decided to take it out and combine both sounds to create a bigger sound with more force. All of my rattling is gone, wires hidden, and everything looks clean. Sound wise, low frequencies hit hard, crystal clear sounds, and havent had an incident where the music cuts off because of a blown fuse or something broke lose.

watson Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 alright since you fuckers ignored my post can you at least answer this question is it worth putting component speakers in the rear and having 3-way speakers in the front? i've been told it isn't worth it since back speakers are for fill, BUT i've heard that's only in cars. i own a jeep grand cherokee.
