Thanks Scott for merging the two... I didn't think about that!!
Loco - The Dragon's my wheelin' / everyday driver rig. It's the one I'll be using for the trails at Zu. The Proton's coming with, but she's going to stay safe and sound on pavement.
Currently I'm kind of 'slumming' it by using the active crossovers built into the Alpine head unit. I plan on going with the Audiocontrol DQXS later this summer (after I recoup from the sticker shock of what I just poured into this project!)
Same situation with the parametric settings - all from the Alpine currently. Note, the parametric settings listed above were set that way to 'push' the system initially. I just wanted to get a wee bit crazy I guess and see the side walls of the VX FLEX!. The other settings I'm using (not listed) came about simply from what I can hear (spent the day tuning, listening, tuning, listening, tuning, etc.) I know what an RTA is, but not sure where to find one. I competed (once) as a young buck in IASCA in 1993, so it's been a while for me also... (I just couldn't outgrow this hobby I guess). Can I just go to a car audio shop and have them spec out my set-up so I can find those dips/bumps in the spectrum? How does that work now-a-days?...
The enclosures were very cool to build. If you poke around Decware's site, you'll see the info on the Deathboxes. They're 'tunable' to the specific driver and environment, etc. I was able to listen to the enclosures in the VX as I 'tuned' them. The design allows you to move the inner insert up and down to adjust the sealed chamber's volume, etc.) to find the best possible sound for the interior of the VX, and nature of your sub. What a great concept, huh?
