    Default Just though id share

    I had a customer come in this morning and wanted a basic ported box built for 2 12" MTX 9500 2.5cu@34hz the face is braced in 3 spots but you cant tell from the pics in a bronco His box was stolen but they didnt steal the amps he just got the 9500 shipped to and should reach me today. He is running 2 jl1000's i will have some pics when i get them installed, they should beat pretty hard.

    i use winsid on all my box's ive built and double check my math even after i get the plans, and tune according to what the customer music need are for .I just dont buy 4 pieces of wood and slap a box together and have not had anyone blow subs in a box ive built unless the sub was just bad or due to the customer going behind me and turning up the gain on the amp after i set it correctly. i go by the manufactors spec and if tehy want a lil more boox i might make it slightly larger to get a lil more low end but nothing crazy. i would have made the box higher then the port would have been slimmer, but the customer need a low box and what you make lower you have to make wider.

    I dig you...and I wasn't bashing (I wish I understood the math to make and dial in boxes),,but with that port and my customer in-abuility to leave the fucking gain alone ...I would be replacing subs left and right

    help me out guys ..I need to know if this only happens to me???

    I tell this little story to most my customers ""hey if you leave that amp set where I left it these subs should last as long as the car does""
    and consistent as fuckin gravity the brothers(yes thats right black ppl) always bring back blown up subs!!!! while my crackers & essays never come back with problems -for the most part-,,why cant my brothers leave the fucking gain alone
    I thought of this prolly 4-5 years ago ,,,they should have what a would call "dealer lock" were we the installer / dealer has a key that locks a pleaxi door that goes over the Db/gain..yotta yotta yotta control???? what'd you guys think

    and before any one goes there..I'm not a racist ,,it just my black customers wont leave the gain alone ,,,and I try to educate my customers ..like this!!
    (customer)HEY man you guys got any subs that can handle my California/baja 2000wt amp ,,man this is a bad boy!! I've blown up 2-12's & 2-15's and even 3-12's
    (me) look dude I'm NOT trying to be a dick ,But that amp is OK at best and it not 2000watts of hardcore power thats blowing yer shit up ,it's nasty distorted garbage coming out of you amp cause you got the dB boost and Gain MAXXED the fuck out!!! thats whats blowing up your subs not the POWER!!!!
    then if they proceed tell me how badass the amp is I ask simply
    (me)how much is the JL1000.1
    (customer)1000bucks,,,(most ppl know what it costs new)
    (me)you know why it's 1000bucks??
    (customer)uggg???,,,cuz it's JL
    (me)cuz it makes 1000wats truly,,,,,how much did you pay for the Cali-Baja
    (customer)289.99 at the flea-market
    (me) well there you go...you bought yerself roughly a 300-400watt amp
    (customer)ohhh....damn ,,,,well what do you got that beat like a mo-fo with this amp?

    then I sell em 2 decent 12's & slot box ,,,,then I go set the amp and tell ""leave it alone and it'll last you a long time""

    but they NEVER fuckin listen,,,,I mean dude theres been a few times that it has gotten nasty in my showroom floor ,cuz I refused to relace 3sets of subs in a 1 month period ,,the part that kills me is that they think like """"shiiiiiiiiiit man they are covered under warranty ,I'll just blow dem shits up and den swap em out""" I cant be the only one who is tired of his because the Koreans in the flea market wont swap out shit ,even on stuff that they get that I KNOWN is covered like all the AudioBaun crap from Vickers

    I used to use clear silicone, then mark it with Sharpe. It is easier to remove if you need to readjust or if they change equipment. You can also see if the costumer pulled it out and messed with it themselves.
