Well, looking out to the south-east, I can see some of the clouds starting to come in from the hurricane - will be interesting over the next couple of days. I am pretty much prepared.

Klipschfoot Posted September 17, 2003 Share Posted September 17, 2003 Take a look at this: http://www.sncsurf.com/ There are also some webcams on this page. Tomorrow should be intense for these areas. No doubt the cameras will be off-line, but it could be worth a look. another: http://www.wrightsville.com/bchcam.htm My family spent the evening bringing in all the plants, etc. from around the yard and securing all the lawn furniture, etc. could be a marathon skip-bo or railroad dominoes evening. zip: 21044 later.

skonopa Posted September 17, 2003 Author Share Posted September 17, 2003 It is about quarter to 1 in the morning - it is completely overcast and the wind has started to pick up a bit. Looks like we are going to be in for a ride . I'll let you all know how things are going here during the course of this (provided I have power). I'll most likely even take pictures (now that I got this fancy new digital camera ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m00n Posted September 17, 2003 Share Posted September 17, 2003 Hey, I hope you all are hanging in tight out there. Now is your last change, send all your gear to me. I will keep it safe for you. Seriously though. Good luck my friends. I hope the damage is none to minimal at worst. Is there anyone on this board who lives directly in it's path, where it's going to hit landfall? Or within 30 miles or so? Klipschfoot! Thanks for posting that webcam, I hope like hell it can hang on! I will be watching it live from the west coast if it does. Right now I can see it's a little windy out... Not much light though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been working on some DIY subs and I've been waiting for them to be completed before I send new pics to Justin(also waiting for a certain tv stand to come in stock). I actually just got the DIY subs hooked up late today(too late to crank them) but I've been busy preparing my house and helping some friends prepare their houses for the hurricaine. It's about 1:00AM(EST) and I was out about 2 hours ago and it seemed like normal night with just a slight breeze. I've lived here all my life and nothing like this has ever come so I don't really know what to expect. I also plan on taking before pictures in the morning(for insurance purposes) and after if anything happens. I'm also gonna make sure the video camera is charged up but I don't have a firewire connection in my computer to transfer the video. I might just buy one and upload it to my webspace if I get anything good. I think I'll be spending tomorrow night in my basement away from all windows. I just took this pic w/my camera, check out the size of my subs with yours truly standing next to them for size reference. Oh yeah, I stand a monsterous 5'6" so that gives you a better idea of how big the subs are. They're functional but not finished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, the news is saying that's going to be the strongest part of it. Hopefully it will die down enough after traveling on land for a while that no major destruction is done here.

m00n Posted September 18, 2003 Share Posted September 18, 2003 Frankie. How did you come to the dimensions of your new tubs? Was is just some arbitrary size you decided on or did you calculate the size based on some formula and all that? What size drivers and what are you pushing them with? BTW, you're not trying to overcomensate for the lack of something are you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After I got the internal volume and port size, I just calculated how much space the driver, endcaps, and ports would take up in the inside the enclosure did the math to adjust it accordingly. There's no polyfill right now and the internal volume is 7.5ft^3 tuned to 19.4hz according to WINISD, but I'm going to verify what it is myself later. I also have 9 20oz bags of polyfill to play with, I'm going to add 1lb at a time and keep measuring to see the effects. I'm going to add until it's no longer effective. I've been taking pictures of the build process and when I'm completely done with them I'll make a simple website. I'll also document my polyfill experiments since there doesn't really seem to be much to go on besides one article from Tom Nousaine. Specs: - Stryke AV15 in each enclosure - 18" sonotube stands 69" high with 4.5" legs(still going to add a .75" base and .75" grill) - 7.5ft^3 tuned to 19.4hz(no polyfill and unverified tuning) - 1 8" port in each enclosure.......see pic #1, pic #2 - 750 watts to each from a Samson S1500 ---------------- On 9/18/2003 12:47:19 AM m00n wrote: BTW, you're not trying to overcomensate for the lack of something are you. ---------------- My fiancee doesn't think I'm compensating for anything . Actually I'm compensating for the lack of low end bass I've been missing with my two DIY sealed subs I was using (2.8ft^3 Stryke AV15 and 2ft^3 original SVS CS woofer).
