Thanks i just got a mental image of jig in the bath sewing his wife a dress.

question is, how does he operate the foot pedal without shocking himself, lmao
Do you want a picture? Hahaha

So awesome about the move. I think my favorite part of being NOT in So cal is the Pace. Everything moves slower. People aren't driving in a hurry, people aren't trying to cut in line... you may just be the kick I need to get outta Socal. Would move tomorrow if Pennsylvania legalized MMJ.

Baby is rolling along wonderfully. 17 weeks on Tuesday. On March 21 we find out the sex (baby willing). I seen those ultrasound places at the damn mall... thought it very odd. I don't know if wife wants to do anything like that but I'll mention it. She barely lets the doctors touch her because she worried something will happen.

Get this crazy stat. My wife's been pregnant for over 46 weeks now (between the 3 pregnancies).

Hehe... yeah man, all kinds of stuff going on. I appreciate the offer the other day. I don't think I'm going to change anything for a while yet. It sure is beautiful up here today. I can't wait to open the windows.

Hooking up the stereo last night I thought it funny how many cords I have. These are most of them, but there's still some more out of the shot.

Glad the Baby is happy.

I see you have the Bash amp, nice for a HT setup-DIY sub.

I have a huge box filled with wires still.

The bash amp powers those two RF 12's. I built the enclosure they are in. It's a sealed box and it sounds real nice, but I would enjoy having something that rumbled more. I have a 15" sub, but it's 4ohm.

There was this beautiful CV sub enclosure on craigslist I saw for like $175. MMMM....makes me want to have a lot of money.

EDIT: Over the years my wife has seen enough examples of me using something we had. Everytime I make sure to make a big deal out of it, like see.... this is why our attic is full of junk. lol

If your goal is lower bass Jig, you can make a new box, and Ill design it for ya.
How much space do u have for the box?

Sealed enclosures are considered more accurate, but larger ported get that guttural wall shaking bass.
I am thinking about 4-4.5f ft3 tuned to 28-30 hz will make what you have where you want it to be.

No problem broseph. If you decide you want to give it a shot lemme know, it's still under warranty so service is free.

Are you rigging that up to go into your house or is that going into your car? Lol. If you are looking for HT man hit me up, I used to work at Paul's TV, and I still get Friend's & Family specials. Which happens every other month usually and friends/family get prices lower than employees on some stuff. That, and me and my brother are trying to piece out some HT right now, but it's all high end and way outside the budget of most DIY HT systems. We picked it all up back when being a TV salesman was a stupid easy way to make stupid fast cash, now it sucks, lol.

But I tell you what, my old boss used to work in Car Stereo, but he also has an incredible comprehension of acoustics, and is a huge HT audiophile too. He set up a well put together car stereo system in his home and I was impressed.

Oh, and I still have lots of friends at Paul's if you need something specific or in a hurry. Especially good for mounts and cables! The same cable they sell on the floor for 80 bucks is bought for 2-9 bucks by Paul's. TV's usually have very little margin in them, but Audio and Accessories are packed to the gills!

Damn you got me all excited. I never even heard of HT before. All I know is I looked up my specific speakers and saw what RF recommended for cubic feet, then designed a box around that. I went with sealed for two reasons, I thought it would be kinder to my wife, only hearing the punch and not the rumble, and it was smaller. But I would be down with a ported box.

I don't have any kind of crossover. I don't even really understand what a crossover is. I just put the pre amp out to the Bash amp and that goes strait to the box. I forget how I wired the speakers, again, I didn't know what I was doing. It came out well though. I did a very solid construction.

So here's a question. Could I build two separate boxes and put a speaker in each. One ported, one sealed, then use the Bash to power both, I guess using a crossover (or two?) to change the frequency going to each? Is that how that works? LOLOL

You can do it anyway you want, and I think that Bash has a x-over built in.
Best placement is 2 subs 1 in front of you and one behind you, but same box works one sealed one ported will work as well, although 2 with same designed box will give optimal results.

Bass is non-directional, eg placement other than airflow is irrelevant. There is such a thing as bandpass which is a box that is sealed and ported but requires more space. There is also a sealed and ported isobaric design as well. These are very efficient designs but require more space than sealed. I used to do custom installs, competition stuff. I run a single 10" L7 in a .75 square vented box off a Fosgate power 500, that shit will part your hair! Generally a sealed box is tighter sounding and a ported box will be more "boomy". If you have more than you need you will be compensated anyway!

A crossover separates the sound signal for component amps and speakers. In other words it makes each frequency range available as separate ranges of amplification which combined with high voltage pre-amp connections reduces distortion passed to the speakers. The rule of thumb is that it is not power that breaks speakers, it's distortion. Thusly your only as good as your weakest component.

If your getting a new deck too most of them have built in crossovers with adjustable subwoofer outputs built in also.

My wifes boss is a Audiofile. Here are his amps. Shit sounds Crazy, you have never heard Pink Floyd until you hear it on this system.

Those are some serious amps!

Just thought I'd throw in my 3 cents since I read through all the audio talk. Best sounding system I have ever heard was Diamond Audio, hands down. I've heard several amazing systems with their gear, one imparticular stood out though just sooo clear like you could hear every single frequency of the music.

Those things are beautiful to me. That stuff is like a work of art... only problem is it costs what art costs. My whole system probably costs less than one of those things. There are some absolutely ridiculous audio components out there. This one set of sepakers is $50k. You can get stuff totally hand wired, made with crazy materials.

I think over the summer I might make a ported box for the 2 speakers. I guess I'd need another amp to build 2 separate boxes. Do people even do that? Run a ported sub and a sealed one so they get the different effects? Ah well... this is a project for another day. I needs to build a room first.

Plants are looking amazing today. I trimmed out their insides a little. Nothing major. I also cleaned up a little and moved some branches to different screen locations. I'm going to tie things back today as well (probably).

Speaking over on whodatnations thread we were discussing differences in day/night temps. I honestly had never heard that big changes in day/night temps can slow things down. It makes sense now that I think of it, but damn I wish I would have known this years ago. My swings are anywhere from 20-30 degrees (11-17 C). I'm thinking of ways to make that number smaller. Lights on at night would be an easy answer, but I don't think wife is going for that one.

I run mine at night so I don't have to pay to heat the room. I can usually maintain a 10 degree swing. When summer hits I have to stop all indoor unless I get an AC unit.
