Thanks Pereze, I think we're getting warmer!

Another question, where to get the OEM match carpeting???

e90TiAg335i · 12-21-2012, 10:09 AM

I've found that the carpet from Jo-Ann's fabric is extremely close. Only way to get it exact is to add some black to it. Either dye or just mist it lightly with spray.

I have been in Jo-Ann's a few times and couldn't find an carpet like material. Where did you find it? Is it in the utility fabric or somewhere else? I fully expect you to know your way around Jo-ann's and tell me...SAY IT!! SAY IT! SAY ITTTT!!

Kidding of course. At least about the expectations, I do want to know what to ask for in the store or where to look.

TIA

It's just felt. I found it kinda front left of the store. It's not exact but pretty close.

Man that's a great idea! Need me one of these bad boys!!

My new toy finally arrived after 3 weeks transit (the USPS is a POS). Can't wait to get it in!

I was just there, but did not have any time to stop by. I'll let you know next time for sure.

Just did a provisional install today, until I can find someone who can go to Jo Ann fabrics and buy that carpet for me!

F******* hell....
Congrats on new driver.
How does it sound and what is powering it?

e90TiAg335i · 01-20-2013, 01:40 PM

Nice! I may end up going this route myself. I'll see what I can find for you. We should also make a better mount for you as well...lol

I haven't really spent any time with it yet. I will withhold judgement until this puppy is broken in!

Yeah it looks kind of amateurish right now... I was thinking just put some carpeting on it and call it a day. Not going for any beauty contests.

Today I was thinking that the "well-sealed trunks" in our cars that normally filter out much of the sound from in-trunk subwoofers, are actually a blessing in disguise for those of us who go with an IB set-up! If you think of the trunk as a large box, and there is a subwoofer on the inside, and you are on the outside, you won't hear much for obvious reasons, especially if the box is well-sealed, acoustically speaking! But if you install the sub into one of the sides of the box - the side that is facing you - it will be a night and day difference!!! That in a nutshell explains why IB works better than anything else!

BTW my sub is still being babied while it's breaking in. I have read that the break-in with this driver can take a little while... I have to admit that in order to speed up the process I find myself driving down the road listening to Sirius' hip hop station....
