best way to face 4 subs

i actually didn't know some amps aren't phase correct, i actually learned something out of all this too. although i knew the whole time that it had to be a phase problem. atleast we got this figured out.

yea i thought that for a lil bit but then when you said some then it made me think alil more i really tryed to not think it was that befor you said some then but hay it works and i ticked off this kid in town allready with it because he thought his 2 polk audio subs was louder lol well kids must learn some how even if its the hard way i guess lol i love it tho its awsome of all the high end subs i have ever installed and used my self these are by far the best yet even the big bad solo X. i also found out how under rated these memphis subs are i asked them what they could really handle. so it looks like im going for a memphis 4,000 watt rms amp. go big or go home right? lol

Here's one.  I haven't used this type myself, though.

Build the box so that it performs well in the worst case scenario and, in return, it will reward you at all times.

If you want a mic get a termlab mic. its what every good SPL comp is using now. very accurate. But is does cost a bit more than the one stevdart suggested. It is $650 for a one mic set up but it reads up to 183db you can find it at Termpro.com

i'd spend the extra money for the Term-Lab over what stevdart showed you. only problem is it is a computer based system so it would be best if you had a notebook pc. but thats what i would get.

yea i have a laptop thats only 6 months old i was thinking some then around $100 or so it sounds more like i would need to get a used one to get it that cheap. i prity much want one to just compare like sub angles to get the most out of a system it dont really have to be right on with the compation meters just tell me whats better setup. bad part is i know my setup is some where over 150DB other wise i would go buy a wallmart cheapo.87 ramcharger eclipse CD5000 2 15" memphis M3 kenwood 900rms mono amps

the term lab meter is supposedly the most accurate meter there is. it is what they use at most legitimate competitions and for the price you get a lot. the sensor itself is nice but the software is awesome too. you can set it to display just the highest reading so it goes up until to reach your peak spl and then stays there so you dont have to pay attention to the display while you are testing to catch what your peak was. i wish i had the 650 to get one of these because i would just charge people like 5 bucks to meter their system and make my money back eventually not to mention experiment with my own system. it also has an RTA add on kit for sound quality and system tuning.

you could definitely make your money back. there is a guy in shreveport that charges $20 for it, but he said the one he has cost like $3000. i think im gonna invest in the term lab soon so i can do my own testing in my truck
