It doesn't seem like it should make that much of a difference, but it does. Around a 2dB difference, in my experience. No you're right, it doesn't. But ok, I'll see if it can be done, however there might be some problems with the speakon connectors i used and the rear backrest. Will report back onc...

IME with car audio, vibrating eyesight doesn't happen until about 134-138 dB's. That's probably true, and I wouldn't listen to music that loud anyway, it's really just a question of wow-factor. But this little system impresses in many other ways, by being very musical and responsive. Far from that ...

Ok, so i tried a true RMS multimeter, and got the same readings at the cheapo one. Used sine waves from the Bink audio test cd. Voltage to the cabinets is correct. Double checked wiring for same polarity. Ended up lowering the gain on the mains a bit, and set the sub crossover a bit lower, and now I...

Is your system truly crossing over at 90 Hz, or is that where the filter is set at the moment. AT typically requires a lower filter set point ...typically between 50-70 Hz indicated. As far as the mirrors rattling, throw a meter on the subs and see what they're actually doing voltage-wise. Sounds l...

Well now! I got the other AT completed and leak tested. Made sure they were both wired with the same polarity. Put some spray can primer and then rolled them with Warnex, that amazingly hadn't hardened in it's jar despite sitting in my garage for over five years. Did all the wiring in the car, which...

habit of playing music with lots of content below 35Hz at high volume then a 40Hz HP filter is advisable. I'm quite heavily into most genres of EDM so yes, I guess I'll have to take that into consideration then. Thank you. Completed basic construction of the second AT today. Also decided on amp loc...

Hmm, true but I was under the impression a lot of ppl run the AT without a hp filter ?

JL Audio XD700/5v2. 4x 75w rms @ 4 ohm + 1x 180w rms @ 4 ohm.

Oh yeah, and playing some test tones after the covers were sealed up, this little box had everything in the whole garage rattling along. Can't wait to get the amp installed in the car!

Managed to get some things done on the tubas this weekend, first box is leak tested and done. Only paint remaining. Found one leak around the driver, and also one of the covers didn't seal properly at first. Second box is coming along too, but tonight I ruined my last t10 torx bit which put a stop t...

Very nice ! What drivers are in the TLAH's ?

Making some progress. Assembly completed on the first box, except access cover flanges. Started on number two, probably will come together a bit quicker than the first one. Forgot to take a pic of the saw setup when trimming panel 6, but it worked well, just needs some sanding. http://i.imgur.com/LI...

Make sure you use a fuse no further than 12" from the battery and use a plastic/rubber grommet to protect the wire going through the firewall. Yep, I'll make sure to do that. A friend of mine tried what happens if you don't, quickly turned the whole cable into white hot melted copper and smoke...

My current car seems to be a keeper, so I decided to upgrade the sound system in it. The vehicle in question is a 1999 Toyota Land Cruiser 100, which means there's plenty of space available for a pair of Autotubas. I'm building the regular model, max width, TB W8-740 loaded. Thought it might be fun ...

While far from one of the bassiest songs in the world, this remix of HMC - Taking over Now has a really nice deep rolling sort of bassline that at least shows off my T48 pretty well. If you're into modern house music you might have heard it.
