First....Now why I reallt made this thread.

[sublime_whatigo]

Im sure some things have changed but I always used WinISD for box building. And also on clipping I had a few nice test cd's one was autosound2000 or something. Combine those cd's with an o-scope or a tweeter in a pinch to adjust gains.

I have said CD's BassBox is a lil more advanced but cost a pretty penny unless you find a torrent of it

I will be getting a basic O-scope or at least one good enough for setting the gains on an amp.

I may have to plug my parameters of my enclosure and driver into WinISD just to see how they compare.

other topic you thing this rain is going to clear out by Saturday?

[sublime_whatigo]

60% chance of scattered showers. Hope we can get in a cruise without rain at least.

Helps Allot, I knew the basics of what you explained. This also makes me feel better about feeding 1200 watt RMS to the four 8" subs that I plan on using. They are the Tang Band W8-1363SB. They are rated at 120 watts RMS/240 watts max, and in my set up they will be getting 300 watts RMS.

By chance do you use the BassBox6 Pro program?

Yes but my copy was old and now needs reactivating. I should just download a crack for it!!!

Let me know if you do that, I would really appreciate you take on the enclosure I designed.

I have deemed this thread as being useful. We always recommend our customers to run twice the recommended peak power to subs/speakers to get optimal sound. Sometimes it can be hard depending on the speakers you're installing. I currently have Alpine Type-X 6.5" all around and it was impossible to find a 4 channel amp that put out more than 150w RMS from Alpine so I had to deal.

A lot of people come in thinking that replacing their speakers first will make their system sound better. They are surprised to learn they will get the opposite effect and that replacing the head unit first is always the best option as it puts out more power, thus making the stock speakers reach full potential.

I have heard the x pros in properly sealed and deadened doors, that are incredible!

Thank you for your input Issac.

This is why I combed through the speakers on PartsExpress's website. I haven't personally demoed the TB speaker that I recommended but given the speaker's specs. and the power that the OEM amplifier provides, it was easy to see that it was a good match.

i have always been told that its distortion that kills speakers, not power. so whenever i look into amps, the first thing i look for is the THD (total harmonic distortion) rating of said amp.

i am no speaker genius but a guy i grew up with is. i would like to build a great setup for my car. i can do lows and highs, but i always seem to be lacking mid-range sound and i havent figured out why just yet.
