If I'm free i will attend.

They say there's one born every minute. Don't be a sucker, just use the right size for the length in question. Use quality wire but don't go overboard.

Jamo makes some great smaller bookshelf speakers, a nice pair of full range models would be another good choice.

I guess I didn't phrase my question correctly. If you play a 60-70 note which is typically where you feel the thump (for whatever reason) why would the harmonic distortion (120 to 140Hz) make it worse? Your 60-70Hz frequency you were telling Beeker could not be distortion related may be overtones from a lower frequency, your claim on post 132 says distortion has nothing to do with it but it can in way of harmonic distortion. Where the 120-140Hz came from was your misunderstanding in post 139 as it was not mentioned until then.

You answered you own question but in a backwards sorta way, 60-70Hz overtones come from a lower frequency not higher. This is why strings (among other insturments) sound so much cleaner with a horn ( less harmonic distortion).

Explain Harmonic overtones (multiples of a sound wave frequency).

The punch is actually the sound waves hitting you at the frequency your chest resonates at. Distortion has nothing to do with it. Harmonic distortion does play a part.

For as clean as horn subs play, there's nothing like a DR to punch you in the chest. I disagree, much depends on the horn. Pro sound horns will cave in your chest easily when asked.

Why would it matter if the mains are Heritige or not ? I agree two subs will help smooth out room modes but i would take one good subwoofer over two or even three average ones any day of the week. If you want the job done any subwoofer will suffice, if you want the best sound buy a better sounding product.

One THT horn loaded subwoofer will offer better sound and leave your structure begging for mercy, plus it costs less than many of the others mentioned here. Horns offer lower distortion resulting in a much cleaner sound.

Thank you,i will be happy to help where i can.

No pictures required, I really believe you ! Pictures of the cycle would be good but we can skip the others. This is a similar picture of what I got last Saturday. Drove it home Tuesday around 60 miles. Need to fix turn signal, bulb/flasher and do some backroad riding to familiarize myself and do some adjusting for comfort...etc GF has been cleaning it up some. Just a feeler bike to see if I want to keep it for awhile primarily for work transpo...Have to say, thinking it will block some chill wind . 82 Honda GL500 Silverwing Interstate, showing 20,000 miles. Weird thing is odometer works and speedometer dial doesn't. Drove it by tachometer, but that was dancing too much to use for speed indicator. Guessing I need to troubleshoot the engine tach hookup to see if anything amiss like a tooth. Little TLC! I have one of those, its the dark maroon/brown color though. They run forever if you maintain them properly. Mine needs front fork seals and a rear tire but it still gets used. If you want some tach/speedometer numbers so you know how fast you're going let me know and i will get you the info from my bike. If the odometer works and the speedometer does not there is something broken inside the assembly otherwise the cable is usually what breaks. A few pics of my 1982 Honda Silverwing Interstate.

I had a pair of these decent sounding speakers though not Klipsch like sound, its more laid back. Looks like mold on the woofer cone, may just wipe off if its minor but if its embedded it should be reconed.

I brought a few records, no CD's myself. Frank Zappa, You know what you is. The Band, The Band. Best of Lou Reed, Walk on the wild side. Billy Thorpe, Childern of the sun revisited. Did not get to hear any of them but i did not care as lots of great stuff was played throughout the party, old and new to me everything was enjoyable.

Thought they sounded great, we had them on the floor and up on some chairs. I heard them hooked up to Justin's Stereo 15 amp that Jim brought with (jimjimbo). When we added the Tuba it was like a match from heaven, very impressed with the combination.

Thank's to Seth and family for allowing us into his home first and foremost, the party was a success and it seemed like a great time was had by all. It was a pleasure to put faces with forum names and listening to all the different gear was a great experience. Hope we can do this again soon. By the way I'm the handsome guy 4th from the left in the blue shirt & grey hoodie.

Looks like things are a go for Saturday(tomorrow). Strippers are on call and kegs of beer on reserve. See you there.

Heard an Auto Tuba at a local car show earlier this year, it was a single 8. I thought it sounded great and more output than expected. Have not heard the Truck Tuba as of yet nor have i heard of anybody building one but they are probably some out there.

Don't see any ready designs that would fit under my rear seat; a must have. Looks like you're stuck having a custom cabinet built or one that fits in the available space then. Don't buy without listening first, big $$$ does not always relate to better sound. I've been asking but haven't found anything to listen to that is installed. I don't think the store sound room means anything. Just go with matching components for best results.

I would focus my money on the front of the cabin, this is where you want your soundstage. Maybe some midbass drivers in the rear. Or if the rear is important to you get matching speakers for the rear. Don't buy without listening first, big $$$ does not always relate to better sound. A 10" driver in a Auto Tuba would be an ideal low distortion sub to fill in the low notes.

The sealed 10 I had in my car was used by my son while we were building the box that would eventually go in his truck. It easily filled the 4 door truck with bass and had no trouble keeping up with his mains. It would not blur your vision like his ported 15 does but I'd think it's safe to say that Mike's not looking for that. I can't stand bloated boomy bass myself, nor do i care to run out of available headroom. My son on the other hand likes the big bloated bass and runs a pair of ported high end 10's. We used an 8" Bazooka tube in my wife's GMC mini van years ago. it was plenty of bottom end for her style of listening in that body. For BALANCED bass, you don't need a huge subwoofer in a vehicle. Big drivers are fine as long as they are properly tuned, even a small driver can sound like crap if its not done right. Size is not everything, proper placement and tuning is much more important for a good sounding system.

Not sure what you mean by "space to fill"... In terms of fitting equipment in there, cars are always easier to get lots of subs in compared to an extended cab truck. There's hardly anywhere to put anything in a truck unless you give up your bed, and what's the point of having a truck if you do that? In terms of filling the interior with sound, strangely, larger vehicles are often louder even with the same equipment. Something about the 1/4 wavelength rule and stuff. We used to put SPL microphones under the dash by the floorboard as far away from the subs as possible, which is where it was the loudest. when I had one of my ford extended cabs I used a bazooka sub between the passenger seat and the rear seat. didn't use too much room, and the bass was okey dokey. Had one of those back in the day, sold it within a week. My first experiment was well before subwoofers were mainstream, threw a 15" woofer on the trunk deck along with 4 6x9s on my 73 Delta 88. The sun ate the paper cone within a month.

Not sure what you mean by "space to fill"... Cubic feet of cabin space. In terms of fitting equipment in there, cars are always easier to get lots of subs in compared to an extended cab truck. There's hardly anywhere to put anything in a truck unless you give up your bed, and what's the point of having a truck if you do that? There is always space available, you just need to be creative sometimes. In terms of filling the interior with sound, strangely, larger vehicles are often louder even with the same equipment. Something about the 1/4 wavelength rule and stuff. We used to put SPL microphones under the dash by the floorboard as far away from the subs as possible, which is where it was the loudest. Proper subwoofer placement is most important.

I don't know about anyone else, I wasn't comparing. for that matter, a chevy extended p/up might sound completely different than a ford or dodge. the only way to find out is to install and listen. if you have someone else do the work, be sure they will let you exchange components til you get the sound you want. I was referring to the comment on the trunk mounted car sub, no to your post.
