Re: Lil Neutrino's 2nd Indoor CFL - Bagseed planted New Year's Eve during the blue mo
That sounds promising, even my new center panel still weighs roughly five pounds, maybe a little more and with nothing to support it above the ground magnets wouldn't work too well as it would just slide down and off.
Used to work in one too after 4-5 years of competition (USAC mostly, dB Drag didn't come around too often)...wasn't a good choice as my hobby became my job which caused me to grow weary of it after work hours lol. My largest install was six 12's (none of these mainstream subs, can't say which company as it would be easy to figure out who I am at that point
) in a ported wall in a lil 4-banger sedan with a pair of 1200W amps. I built it for ground-pounding and not so much competition so I tuned it to 33Hz with no port plug for competition...heck my port was way too small for all those subs for competition purposes (I couldn't crawl inside of it 
). Still managed to pump out a 153dB legal with the stiff ass AudioControl mic that our region's organizer used. I swear it was as stiff as the Term Lab mic they use in dB Drag. It was loud enough when I first built it (damn near thought my car was gonna explode when I first cranked it up) but within two weeks I was ready for more...everything went downhill after that install.
RF wanted me to do some product testing for them after I built that system and offered me a steep discount to do so (iirc it was 50% of dealer cost, order factory direct). Sold my subs and amps, made my wish list, but when I ordered I was told that they couldn't honor that cost anymore (PM me if you want the reason, nothing to do with me) so I was basically SOL. I wound up purchasing a couple of their large Type RF amps, bridging them, running four of their batteries, and a bunch of their interconnects, and had to borrow a sub from a buddy of mine. One 15" sub in that same wall that had my 12's with 2600W RMS (under-rated according to bench tests) and a 45Hz tuning. Still pulled a 150dB legal and lost to another guy in a "shootout" for 2nd place at a regional event who was running 5 12's and 5000W in a pickup truck with a boot through the back of the cab...after showing off the system for an hour after I ran the lane in 100F+ weather and only 10 minutes to charge the batteries with a 60A alt lol. Hot voice coils, drained batts, hot alt...lost by 0.1dB Ah well, it was great fun!

I'm thinking in about a week to drop her in to flower, probably on the first as that will make it easy for me to remember how many weeks have gone by lol
