Gold Member Username: Tdeaton1021Near Tampa, Florida USA Post Number: 3845 Registered: Sep-04 | For some of you that don't know him, I'll allow him to give a brief introduction for himself so that you guys can get to know him. That way, some of you don't continue to make a fool of yourself correcting him on things he's done first hand. and if for one second you think you can tell him something about a type R... please go play in traffic...lol j/k but really, this guy can probably say he knows more about them than himself. |

I pale in comparison to your sea of knowledge... knowledge of NFL bench players and sponge bob  Glad to be here! This forum seems pretty sweet, the others have really gone down the tubes. As far as type R's... alpine can credit me for hundreds of sales...lol. They would have never gotten the respect they do now had I not of done the testing . I'm eyeballing the new TC sounds midline gear... looks verrrry nice |

Gold Member Username: Th3pwn3rChicago, Illinois U.S.A Post Number: 1024 Registered: Jul-06 | The really funny thing about this thread is how Trevor was the one saying that TCAB was just another ported box and anyone could make them,including himself.What a joke.Two faced people need to die.Seriously. |

Bronze Member Username: SpkrmanChi town, IL U S A Post Number: 52 Registered: Mar-06 | "hey mark - that box on ur site with the 2 type Rs & about 8 aeroports on it , what kind of numbers did it do on a TL ?" he did a 154.7 @ SBN last year, won m3..and could have placed @ finals. Was a great setup and he planned on going far in meca, but the FL shows dried up and he couldnt get points... the setup wasnt made for the dash, and he didnt have dbdrag $.. so there went that. It still did a "respectable" 151 or something in SM 1-2. "Mark if you don't mind me asking, what part of the city do you reside in? Feel like helping a newb with an install?? I'm in the west suburbs like 30 minutes out the CHI." over by like hinsdale? Being in my position, I really cant install anything, but I am over there every now and again, so perhaps one day we could meet up and I could check it out "Damn. Owned." lmao, yea... hey its all good either way =) "hehehe just testing your sense of humor mark...you passed, i think you'll fit in nicely around here:-) Now all you gotta do is pm me so we can arrange payment of your $25 Ecoustics Membership Fee." dude... i already sent you the check... and it was cashed... dont tell me i'll have a send another one  this might end up costing me a fortune... |

Gold Member Username: Denali_on_22sSSX, Tenneki US of A Post Number: 1406 Registered: Feb-06 | Well, if you get tired of sending him money, all I ask is for a TCAB box as ecoustics membership fee for life... |

Gold Member Username: Tdeaton1021Near Tampa, Florida USA Post Number: 3849 Registered: Sep-04 | Rob TRYING to make others look bad to make himself look good again... woo hoo! I'd post that link myself. and i'll say it again. "I feel if your looking for a daily setup without a hands on install TTB can do more for you with your situation than TCAB" However, NOWHERE did i say mark is not an intelligent person who knows alot about car audio. I'm glad to have him here, as i would pete or tuan, but thats why I'm a member on hexibase forum as well. "OMG ! - i guess Trevor seriously rethinked or ate his words" no rovin, i never had loss of respect for mark, i just shared my opinion i like TTB better. i dont think marks really going to get offended by that, because in no way am i saying he doesnt know about car audio and it is my opinion. also petes helps me with more things in the past, maybe i can learn from mark too now that he's here on ecoustics. damn i bet out of robs 1025 posts atleast 700 of them are non car audio related, hes just being a d!ck lol. |

I thought it was basically the box size and tuning that really only matters(besides the subs\power lol)" i agree i still think thier just another ported box... im still sketchy after that whole ordeal on realmofexcursion.com were ppl never got thier boxes :\ plus for the price i could build 5 boxes and figuree things ou on my own =P i stand by wut i say sry man TCAB=nothing special in my book |
|
Bronze Member Username: SpkrmanChi town, IL U S A Post Number: 59 Registered: Mar-06 | "Lol. Age: 21 Years of av experience: 21 I guess you were born for this?" pretty much ok, maybe only 13 years of experience, I got into audio specifically when I was 8. "i never heard a TCAB but seriously what is so special about them..? I thought it was basically the box size and tuning that really only matters(besides the subs\power lol)" when you put a box into a car, the game changes. You have to build per the demands of the vehicle, way beyond what "fits". The boxes generally look simple, but there is alot behind them. I could assign a wierd name to my design, and put lots of technical words in there... but in the end they are what they are, ported boxes designed to fully integrate with the cars acoustics... which over the years I have found to be the absolute best "SQL" design. In regards to output, TCAB is generally louder than TTB... and I think this is something that has been pretty well discussed and loosely admitted on their end. TTB's "ported" designs seem to provide nice extension down low, while playing high... but they do so at a great loss of output, and put more stress on the cone. The horn/tline etc boxes really are more of a novelty due to their size... for the size and expense, just step it up a woofer size + ported box and your better off. Not saying anything that hasn't been said before, and this doesnt really have to turn into a debate. |

|
Bronze Member Username: SpkrmanChi town, IL U S A Post Number: 79 Registered: Mar-06 | refused help... lol... there was no way for everyone to come over, and magically build all of the boxes... its setup for 1 to work, and thats it. The issue was financial anyway, and its been taken care of |

Bronze Member Username: SpkrmanChi town, IL U S A Post Number: 80 Registered: Mar-06 | I can make ya some ports The PsP ports are more refined, however, there is no performance difference. And the ones I make are custom length, so if you need longer than 18", it makes life alot easier when its a 1 piece port. glad to be here ;) |

Gold Member Username: JohnfiacIL Afghanistan,... Post Number: 1410 Registered: Mar-06 | when i get numbers back from my box, ill compare with some TCAB, see if i can see the difference with tcab.. im not really that into the box building end yet... but i know a little... tell me what you would think here as far as the acoustics of the ride... 12cu box tuned 40Hz DD9515's 6Krms, box\port 6inchs from rear, i heard the ride itself would lower the tuning on the box |

Gold Member Username: CtmikeCt. Post Number: 3407 Registered: Feb-06 | mark, since your here could you give me a rough estimate for a box for some idmaxs'? mdf, black carpet, port the same color. maybe birch baffles. ported low to get the most from them, looking for a really nice sql system, listen to all rap/r&b. for either 2 or 4 12"s, whatever you think you could get to fit in one. maybe for a jimmy/blazer/bravada (all look to have about the same amount of space)so i should have room. oh, subs up, port back. |
|
Silver Member Username: SpkrmanChi town, IL U S A Post Number: 131 Registered: Mar-06 | shoot me an email through the site it'll be more than $1, and less than $10,000. 3 12's maxes out the cargo area, and can get very loud Below is a pic of 3 12's in both a 2 door and a 4 door blazer (yea they are all the same, the 2 doorand 4 door have different cargo areas though)   |
