Wow, that turned out nice. Where is your name...on the magnet?

Yeah, There's a sticker on the magnet that has the make and model of the sub and my name printed underneath it. Kind of a cool touch.
I think I have a pic of it, I'll post when I get home from work today.

Looking good Jay. Good that you're getting practice on those IB walls cause eventually you may tackle mine lol
Needs a few of those brackets lol
To floppy if I let the subs get to much movement
For Al,

Ya my sides are bolted through to the front of the baffle and then a L bracket about 8" is welded (ya I know another thing I shouldn't have done) to the car itself but that's it which the bolt terminates there. Support in the middle will go a long way though as I don't have any. Also three layers of 3/4 MDF but still flexes a good 1/2" in the middle if I let it

Had planned on doing some tuning today, but had something else to do this morning. Talked to Jacob at Orca about why I couldn't save my T/A settings on my 8to12 Aero, and he got me figured out.
When we were at SVR Nick (Skizer) turned on the Listening Position setting to Left Front on my 4100NEX. With it on, the center was pretty good, stage height and width were decent as well, but I lost some midbass, and didn't have subs installed yet.
I turned it off and turned the EQ setting I was using on the radio to Flat.
Just getting the T/A in the ballpark resulted in more midbass, but the stage width and depth suffered some. Center is still close. But the Flat setting sounded 100x better than when I had it on before I left for SVR.
Makes it sound like I'm moving in the right direction.
Hope to do some tuning this weekend, which will give me time to reaquaint myself with REW.
Also, the AE's do OK when I have them turned up, so I may turn the gains up a little so I can keep my sub level down more to give me a little more adjustability.

I was thinking about it earlier, and if I had a sheet metal brake, I would make something like angle iron (but with an angle to match the baffle) that I could weld a frame out of and then put bolts in...then shave the heads, but have the threaded part go through the baffle. Then the baffle could be a relatively easy thing to change, if equipment changed. A lot of work, so maybe someday if I build a dedicated sound off car or something I'll try it. For now, I'm pretty happy with my brackets.
I thought it was cool that Christerfer Pate even commented on them on FB. I guess if they get his approval, I must be doing something right. lol
Not much has happened since the last post. I keep meaning to tune, but either things come up or REW is smarter than I am. lol
I was having some issues with REW, where I'd record my pink noise track, and average them. It looked like I expected...but then
it would come up on the EQ screen almost flat, which confused the crap out of me. SkiZer to the rescue!
He gave me a couple of pointers, which I hope to put to use on Wednesday.
Also, my time off request for Finals was approved, and my hotel is booked. Now I just need to set aside a few hundred dollars for the trip
before then, lol

Bruh - I'll *finally* get to meet you at finals!
