  1. Here are specs I could dig up: Specifications (parallel V.C.s): * Power handling: 300 watts RMS/750 watts max * Voice coil diameter: 3" * Nominal impedance: 2 ohms * Re: 1.6 ohms * Freq response: 21-300 Hz * Fs: 28 Hz *SPL: 93 dB 2.83V/1m * Vas: 2.15 cu. ft. * Qms: 6.6 * Qes: .52 * Qts: .48 * Xmax: 9.5 mm For a 30 x 30 x 20" package, that weighs 40 lbs, UPS wants $150 for Ground delivery I put those numbers in as rough guesses, so if you're still interested, I can get an official quote once I hunt down a box and the such. Also, if you have an account with a corporate discount and you can send me a label that way, obviously there will be no charge for shipping on my end.
  2. Hey guys, long time no see. I still have the hidden sub enclosure, and it's taking up space in my garage. I'd love to have it go to a new home, and I'm lowering the price of both sub and trunk enclosure to $100 + shipping. Just the MB Quart sub was $100 when I bought it from Coppertone, so I hope this can finally depart my garage. The details: * Custom trunk enclosure w/your choice of sub - $100 + shipping, or free pickup. The custom sub enclosure was built by one of our members, ItalynStylion. When installed in a 5th gen Legacy, it goes into the space between the spare tire and the trunk itself (replaces the foam cubby thing) -- so you still preserve your entire trunk capacity, while adding a lot of bass! Your choice of sub includes either: ** An MB Quart 10" sub that I bought from Coppertone, that has <10 hours of play on it before I sold the Subaru, or ** The original Kicker 10CVX104 sub that I had in there. Due to its raised rubber surround, the Kicker developed a hole from scuffing the bottom of the spare tire cover -- so I cleaned and patched the hole with rubber sealant. This is why the sub enclosure now has a square black frame -- to prevent the spare tire cover from rubbing on top of the sub enclosure when a heavy load is placed in the trunk. By comparison to the Kicker, the MB Quart doesn't have a raised surround, so potential rubbing is way less of an issue. It has no damage on its face. I can put in whichever sub you'd like. Pickups can be arranged if you're in the Central Coast area of California, or if you're passing through!
  3. I've been stuck working on the front yard for the past month, but man... The first "car" weekend I get, I'll be doing this mod. It's been waiting on the shelf for seemingly forever.
  4. Back when I first got the car, we took it down to San Diego during Christmas to visit the in-laws. Wife's grandpa is a bit of a car aficionado, in the sense that he likes driving and taking care of nice cars. So after I finally traded in my old Accord, he was definitely keen on going for a ride in my new LGT. Well, he lives in a relatively slow-speed-street neighborhood that's bordered by a large (3-4 lanes in one direction) street. So I was first putzing around his neighborhood, but soon ended up at a red light on pole position on the main street, with pretty much nobody around. So I turn to him, and I ask him "OK Grandpa, I'm gonna take off a bit fast, that fine with you?" He's like "Sure, no problem." Green hits and I gun it. Even to this day, I don't think I did a more perfect launch. I caught Grandpa waaaaay off-guard because up until then, we were going 25-30 max, and he was not expecting this kind of juice. We blasted down the straightway (thankfully it was a 55 zone), but soon had to simmer down because we caught up to everyone else. After the run Grandpa turned to me and said: "It's been a long time since I've gone that fast in a car." And this came from a man who does not have a gentle right foot, that's for sure.
  5. They could cut 30% or more of the length if they didn't have that shopping basket on the back. That just makes everything quite long, for not that much utility (as far as I can tell).
  6. Speaking of lasers, I laser-cut these tweeter brackets from black acrylic awhile back. All sets have been claimed, but I can spend an evening at work and make some more if needed. If you guys are adventurous enough, I can also give you the .ai files so you can create them as well. From my previous post, with regards to what I can make with the laser cutter: "Whatever else you can design and cut from a piece of flat wood or acrylic, about 8 x 11" in size. Metals can be engraved, but not cut with our base model. We use the laser at work for rapid prototyping, but I can borrow time on it for projects -- so I don't necessarily run a small batch fab-shop, just helping out a few internet friends."
  7. I was visiting family in San Diego the other day, and I went to the post office. Did my business, went back into the car with my father-in-law. I started futzing with my phone, trying to find where our next stop was (Staples). Some older gent walks up to my door, and proceeds to open it. He looks terribly confused for a second, then his face gets this look of surprise/embarrassment - and then he apologizes, "Oh I'm sorry I thought this was my car, so sorry." No big deal, of course, and he goes around my car and into the next car parked on my right. It was a brand-new dark-grey Jaguar XJ.

  9. I'm a recent graduate, so no promises. But, I'm glad it's not the HPS pads that are SLAPping, since I was thinking of putting those on the car once the current ones expire.
  10. I'm assuming it's the SLAP (squeal like a pig) syndrome? Your build list says you got Hawk street pads -- which ones? HPS or these new-fangled High Performance Street 5.0 pads?

  12. Marbelous darling, marbelous. Similar dealie here -- I had to wait six months for the house to come through, but it finally did... and then the market magically shot up. So it worked out very nicely a couple of years ago, but I can't say the same thing if I tried buying today. Refi as soon as you can. $450/month PMI means you'll pay off your refi costs in roughly 10 months by switching to a conventional loan, and then it's clear sailing from there
