G'day guys,

Firstly let me apologise about the sound off. I was F#@ked around and cracked the sh!ts with all the gov crap that they were putting me through, by the time i settled down about it there wasn't much point that i could see considering the closeness to christmas and the weather at the time.

On the bright side I garuntee you guys that there will be a sound off at the start of the dry season ~ late march early april, this one will happen! and i am going to start organising it early in the new year, this gives me plenty of time to get things back on track if i do chuck the sh!ts again at any point

On the brighter side, I propose that we have a box building day.

The enclosure that a sub is in can make a huge difference to its overall output and SQ.

So designing the right box for your sub and vehicle can be a great improvement.

We can even design the new box so that it fits into your car better etc.

Ok onto times and place: If people want I can hold it at my place, plenty of room for cars and box construction area and i am more than happy to have you guys there the draw back is that i live in howard springs so ~25 min drive for those of you that live in town or cas. As far as times go it would be preferable to do it on a saturday say ~8 till whenever you want to head off (high chance of beers being involved hence the flexible leave time haha). The saturday I can have it on is the 6 or 13th not to sure which one yet will let you know very soon though.

As far as box designing goes i am more than happy to design boxes for you all on bass box pro 6, this software is quite brilliant for box design (very accurate), i have never had a box come out badly!

So if your in then let me as soon as you can

Cheers

Lindsay

c-craft go get a big hairy dog up ya.

excellent ella. I will send you my address via pm.

If you can provided me with the model number of you sub and as many of the T/S parameters that you can find (as well as prefered dimensions, ie max length height width etc) and preferance to sealed or poerted then i can get right along with designing a box in bass box pro.

lol one dog isnt enough for cam, give him two

Hrmm they are Fusion power plant 15"s but ill get on the netzor tomorrow and see what i can dig up if i have the time (will be busy job huntin)

f*** i need a job so bad...
(if anyone can help shhot me a PM BTW)

[20Hurtz]

well i'm bored out of my mind atm. If you can get me a model number for the sub then i can find all the parameters etc.

Ok to confirm the date it will be on the 13 of january, kicking off at 8ish at my place.

As far as getting the MDF goes i usually get mine from the palmo bunnings ~$60 for 2.4m*1.2m of 18mm, if anyone knows where to get it cheaper then let me know! I have a trailer so i am more than happy to go pick up the required amount of wood for everyone.

Now depending on the size of the box you want we will probably on average be able to get 3 boxes out of 2 sheets of MDF.

The liquid nails and screws i can leave for you guys to pick up. (probably need 1-2 tubes of glue and ~50 screws, is box dependent however)

I'll be putting on a BBQ lunch (esky with ice is also taken care off) and i also have a decent sized pool that we can all chill out and drink beer in after our boxes are done.

Is that 8 AM or 8 PM? I'm definantly in, but 8AM is work time, and unfortunately I can't skip out. Neet to knuckle down. ^_~

Definantly keen to get my Supra started though.

[20Hurtz]

me and a mate will be geting started on his horn box at 8am mainly because it will take most of the day to do even with the two of us. But feel free to rock up any time. Can't get the day off?

[Kagetsu]

Sorry mate, boss' and managers don't get days off work. ^_~

Got ya PM man but ill just come out and lend a hand for now.

found a new home for the 15's for now, attatched to the stereo in my shed, spent the day today wiring them down a few ohms (somehow i rekon the 1 ohm they were wored at might make my poor stereo have a haemhorrage) now they are wired both at 8 ohms running off separate channels of my stereo.

O.M.G. they are f***ing loud even in there, the entire complex of sheds was vibraing on half volume with the mega bass set on medium, then a bit later when the rain was coming down hard and i was holed up inside with the door shut i cranked it and turned the bass up FARK it was great!

i wont be doing anything else with them any time soon.

next mission is to see whats wrong with my kicker s12l7, mind if i bring that out for ya to look at? maybe you will have something to test it with.

[Kagetsu]

Sorry I couldn't make it. Maybe next time. ~_~

[20Hurtz]
