Are Rich, Don, and I the only ones who can figure out how to get here...those of you newbs who are baffled by what you get when you try going to forums.maxima.org?

useless thread cuz im bored and its 2:19 am...and because I cant figure out hot to hotlink a pic so it shows up, instead of just a link.

-Kevin

 

dude...the org clock does NOT lie, its 2:17.

 

damn it i think Don left before I got this thread up...hoping for a little humor to ensue

oh well

 

maybe 2 da max caused the sql to go outta whack with all his b.s. posts.

 

woot, it's back up. i blame 2 da max as well

 

YES another one joining the party!
uh-oh, i smell audio drama coming on

Anyway, to make my thread somewhat on topic lets have a vote for what I should get:

Diamond D971 7-inch components
or Fiberglass a Diamond 8CM3 into each door with other 6.5" components
There will be no rears in my next setup, if that matters to anyones reply

-kevin

 

go with the 8"s, don't think i've seen a max with 8s in their doors before

 

brahma 10's please... ala JLaine

 

psh, not with the new brahmas :

 

I know....Im kind of stuck on how to build out the door to get rid of that storage pocket, make it very sturdy, and build out the recessed area where u reach into the storage pocket, make that into a wall thats as far out as the door.

Any good ideas on how to get started with that? Cuz once I get to that point Im good, itd be easy from there, I think Id just vinyl over it once its done. Easier and looks cleaner IMO

 

ahh yes...the brahmas have officially gone soft; losing 2mm of xmax and downgrading the coil size. ascendant audio avalanche is the real brahma!!!!

 

i have the last of the real bull

 

buy some wrecked panels and try stuff out, or hey fiberglass a rear deck and put 2 koda 8's in there...

 

Nah, if I ended up glassing the rear deck Id just use it for a port and to stop the damn rattle back there. Rather have some extra mid up front.

 

welp, im off to bed. im sure by morning this thread will be gone with the wind (along with me,kevin,and gordon) and the server will be up and running to perfection.

 

well it was fun while it lasted

 

Eh I stopped checking at around 2am. It seemed noone could figure out how to get in. LoL

Figures you guys would..

I ended up finishing on the wifeys car around 3am and went in to watch some TV.

 

now thats dedication, did you charge overtime?

 

what did you do to it Don? What new goodies did you install?

 

I am actually taking out the DA 600.1 and the subs. Threw in some rear 6X9s for nice midbass. She wanted to hear more from the rear

So now shes running the DA 400.4 to D661s D361s in the rear door off of the RAF and the 6X9s from channel 3&4..

Rich...overtime? never she doesnt care about me...LoL

Also had to rotate her tires.

 

hmm... i bet if you ripped out all the audio she'd care, even though she liked the stock system i know she appreciates the aftermarket stuff.

 

ah it's really back up now.

 

Just the replacement with the 8 speakers and the little 400.4 make the BLose sound like a cheap set of headphones

 

I have some ideas. Give me a cal and we will meet up. That was my original plan. I will be back from Tally Sun. I can draw you what my ideas are easily. I have even given thought on how to construct the enclosure. We can get a sample door panel from the junk yard and experiment. I have a place to do it if your interested.

 

Definitely chris. Let me get my next paycheck first, since I worked my **** off over spring break, ill easily have a couple hundred to play with for whatever i want to get next. And yes, itll be nice to actually have a place to work, thats one thing that sucked about leaving home, I had a nice two-car garage to work on whatever I wanted.

BTW...got any free time? lol i see you posting up on TR and here a lot more....getting bored yet? haha

-kevin

 

Yeah but they are coming out with 12, 15, and 18" Tumults

 

^^^ true that! hey chris, any chance you want to build a ported box with me next week? my friend wont answer his phone (he prolly knows the box will take awhile to build) and i really dont feel like going to HD to get the cuts done. i already have specific box plans made; just need the tools, some help, and a location to do the cutting at.

 

the new brahma will probably be cheaper than the current one. Its also not the flagship sub anymore, the tumult is. I highly doubt you can tell teh difference in a car of 2mm of xmax.

 

it was all a joke about the brahma...i hope the price goes down significantly though.

Your more than welcome to use the barn. Pleanty of space. No table saw though. The band saw took a dump on me as well. Lemme see what I can do about that. Any other tool imaginable is at my disposal.

Yeah, I get pretty bored. I am used to Tampa and it's pace. It is muuuuch slower around here. Just let me know when you get the funds and we can work on getting that test door panel.

 

+1 to being sloooooowwww, every time i go back...even to orlando for meets and such, its such a relief to be back in the real world.

 

Hey its back!! i guess its time to start posting shiet again

o btw when i lower the volume on my hu, the subs dont hit as hard, i think i need 0 guage wires for my coaxials, the 2awg isnt feeding the 60 rms that well

 

Umm 0Awg to coaxs?? Are you insane?



wait a sec...forgot who I was asking.

 

lol that was the reason for my post.

 

hey Don i see your on NYC maxima as well, lol im striking everyone on that forum

 

Strike away, but be careful I heard the A/V/E mod over there is just like the guy here, likes to show some pwnage sometimes...

 

Thats funny cuz the moderator on the ICE threads has the same name as you. I guess they want their org to have good advisors like we do. or i guess kinda make us feel like home.

seriously i see alot of post of some lowend products, why dont you make a sticky of good products, and products not to get? You know our NYers like all that cheap shiet

 

Aww makin me feel all warm and tingly inside.


Technically it would still be opinion based, although theres tons of facts that can prove one product over another, some people would still get bent out of shape and/or feel insulted.

 

well...i just could not stand looking at my sub and not having it up and running before i come back to gville, so i went to HD. to my utter surprise, everything they cut was PERFECT, i was in total shock. the kid at first was kind of hesitant about doing the cuts but i told him it was for my moms HT setup im building for her. he couldnt do all the cuts because the saw cant cut below 12" but i onyl have 3 left and my step dad offered to help me tomorrow with the circular saw. hopefully by tomorrow night ill have everything done, im so excited. btw the birch looks so classy compared to mdf. thanks for the offer chris, i may need that barn in the future though.

 

Everyone hates on my Pyle amps and Pyramid speakers
