Selling fiberglassed box and 2 crystal cse 10's, tampa bay area

[Joker_Fl]

I am selling my fiberglass enclosure/amp rack and the 2 crystal cse 10's.
There is nothing wrong with any of it. It just doesn't hit the 15hz that I need to score for the IASCA SQ judging. Sounds awsome and will hit as low as 20hz. I am selling it for 300 obo.

here are some pics. IF you are interested let me know. Id like to sell it as soon as possible so I can start working on the 15's enclosure and new amp rack

ever thought about using a bass cube for that added subsonic bump? i took the 18 out of my car wednesday, otherwise i would test and tell you exactly what freq range that low bass is on track 5 of the iasca disc. remember, you just want a little feel of it, you don't want a lot. are you running a 30 band EQ? if not, i highly suggest investing in one. set the bass cube to adjust at 20 hz, and the EQ will have adjustment around 30 hz. that will dramatically improve your low end bass output, as long as you don't have a subsonic filter cutting the signal off.

yeah i thought about it, but the low end on the cse 10's just seem like there missin something. I think im gonna through a set of DLS, Oz powermatrix, and crystal cmp 10's in the box next weekend and do some tuning on an rta.
thinking I might keep the enclosure. well and there have no bites on it...

Yeah im runnin a 30 band eq and using the new clarion dxz945mp, using some of its processing ability and eq also

Actually if id get a bass processor id get an epicenter. im an audio control guy. Ever used one? good? bad? ugly? what do you think of em

Why are the amps different size?? I don't know s*** about car audio, I'm just curious...Is the smaller one running your door speakers?

honestly, i have an epicenter and with the quality of CD recordings and CD players today, you don't need bass restoration. i notice almost no difference with it. course the one i have is an older unit. i don't like that the lowest center freq on the epicenter is 27 hz. the epicenter also adds in lower octave bass, when it is not part of the music. IMO anything that adds to the sound is not necessarily a good thing. the bass cube is just a 1 band parametric EQ. it doesn't add in any extra lower frequencies to it. the bass cube also does not change the RCA voltage. if you give it 1 volt, it puts out 1 volt. if you give it 5 volts, it puts out 5 volts. i also like that you can internally limit the amount of boost, so you don't accidentally turn it up too high and fry your sub.

i just pulled out my old system and i'm redesigning it. it was a treo CSX 18 in a 5.4 cu ft box tuned to 22 hz(drunk) i'm not sure what i'm gonna do next, but i'll be using the bass cube i just got for it.

BTW, i'm blueLEDz on carsound

Ahh right on Got Wake thought the system layout schematic looked familiar.
Ohh and 2k3 msp the amp on the right is a class 4 mono 400 watt max sub amp. The class "d" amplifiers are smaller and more power efficient. the one on the left is a 200 watt max 2 channel. Hmm 600 watts exactly....right got wake? Yea i looked into the bass cube too, looks nice, i didn't know the epicenter "creates" unpresent frequencys....imo that sucks
ahh well. was playing with the P EQ. on the clarion HU boosted around 31.5 Hz with a q of 7 about 4db. It seems to be gettin the job done a little cleaner/lower im gonna do some work today (sat) and try some polly in the box. start with a 1/4 fill on the box and see where i need to go from there.
Question Got Wake? If i run rear door speakers off the deck, but i turn the deck amp off to compete, do i still have to add the wattage? Im blowing back door speakers like there goin outa style. Funny the polks from Circuit city cant hang with the frequencys my DLS R6's can handle....imagine!? I just use them for rear fill when i have passengers anyway....and ther takin up resistance on my amp, (cause two oz 8's in my doors would kinda make me happy) I haven't got my membership package from IASCA yet so im not sure how they would rule this any idea?

thanks
Jeff

why did you quote the max ratings? we go by RMS and we don't have a list of the power outputs of every amp, we just trust competitors for the most part. for the smaller shows they don't even worry about breaking down into power classes.
from the rule book:
"For local or smaller events, this division will be open without power class. For TKE and larger events (over 20 cars per division) the division will be segmented by the power class 1-600w and 601 w and up."
that goes for rookie up to ultra/ultimate. so basically look for 600 watts rms as rated by the manufacturer. once more amps are CEA2006 rated they might bring out a listing of amps, but unless it's challenged by another competitor, we don't look to far into it. course if you come out with two 40" long amps and tell me they are only 600 watts total, i might look into things we were told to use our best judgement and common sense on it.

definitely try adding fill to the box. it might just add enough to give you that nice light subsonic rumble on track 5. i want to know exactly what freq that track plays, though, since i don't think it's below 20 hz, and i know none of the other tracks play anywhere near that low. so boosting around 20 hz for that track specifically won't effect any other portion of the SQ judging.

as for the HU, no we won't count it, as long as it's turned off. we only care about what you are running for the comp. judges are there to make judgement calls, and that's one of those things that would be totally retarded for a judge to count, and if one did, just go to the head judge and explain that the internal amp is off, and it's only for rear fill outside of competition.

suprisingly the rule book isn't super specific on a lot of things. just going over it during judges training i asked about 20 questions that i think should have been covered in the book. so if you ever have a question, post it in the iasca section on carsound, or ask me, i'll be more than happy to help where i can.
