Porn_Star Posted July 18, 2014 Author Share Posted July 18, 2014 only reason i dont go higher is cause it starts to sound crappy. i have got to figure that one out too!I'm wondering if you could use an amp then? i'm guessing you are talking about the 7ii's start to sound crappy? i'm betting they are starving for more power im thinking it is my computer. i recently formatted the drive and reinstalled windows. it started to sound worse then. used hdmi sound, but optical sounds better, music with tons of bass (ie bass i love you) when super low frequencys hit then the tweets really start distorting. thought it was internal crossovers, but blu ray movies sound good. then again, i dont have that song on blu ray. it is a flac file that is 51mb large. i cant put my finger on what the problem is, wish there was some way at looking at the output sound waves to see if it is clipping or the hk is clipping. its really got me at my whits end. Bass I Love You can seriously damage your speakers if you are listening at reference levels, especially if they are not receiving a proper amount of clean power. Based off your signature, they are not.. But it still sounds amazing through a blu ray on ps3. Only the computer am I having any sort of issues.

Scrappydue Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Just be careful is all he's saying I think. Worse to underpower than to overpower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Porn_Star Posted July 19, 2014 Author Share Posted July 19, 2014 Just be careful is all he's saying I think. Worse to underpower than to overpower. ahh. i guess ill stop using that song. as an update, i have ordered 2 of those 18 with dual 4 ohm voice coils, and a inuke 3000dsp. i saw the 6000dsp for 399, but dont think i will ever go any more than 2 subs in this room. i already sold one rw12d, and have the 15 and the other 12 still for sale locally.

Porn_Star Posted July 19, 2014 Author Share Posted July 19, 2014 are you talking about the cube, or the long one?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coleman Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 The lady next door is really gonna love you now with dual 18's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrappydue Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 are you talking about the cube, or the long one?? not the cube. the mini marty sub. the cube is the marty cube. the mini marty is the long one, not the longest but long for sure. if you have space build the big one. the full marty is the name of that one. otherwise go with the mini marty. and i would do the vertical build as it takes up way less space and IMO looks much better 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K5SS Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 Hopefully kitty doesn't get too comfortable there, you will flick her throughout the wall when the subs are powered;) I am just here to watch now. Looks like a fun build, especially going from those mediocre klipsch subs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Porn_Star Posted August 2, 2014 Author Share Posted August 2, 2014 why dont you just order a single box for now from avs the guy who designed it? thats nearly 600 bucks that i could cut down to around 120. pretty sure i can get lowes to cut it up for me if i toss the guy a couple of bucks. i have built boxes before, but i was nowhere near this precise. i had read some on that thread. and several others as well. i cant seem to find exactly what i want with the placement. ill upload a photo in a bit if i see it again. i have looked at so much stuff i cant seem to remember where i saw the one that i wanted to mimic.

Porn_Star Posted August 2, 2014 Author Share Posted August 2, 2014 here is the mdf i ended up with, its on the thinner side only being 3/4, but its the thickest i found at lowes. in the third pic is the cutting jig they have set up, my saw actually has a bad cap, and its been forever since i messed with it so i just opted to have them cut it up for me. and lastly, finished product, they guy wouldn't even take cash that i was trying to give him! he spent a good hour and a half cutting it up, while i was getting other random stuff but wouldn't accept any payment! mdf ended up costing me a total of 137, i bribed my mom to come and meet me (retired military get 10 percent off).
