Real Fiero Tech

I don't know what you mean by it. That's probably because someone who doesn't quite get it is using the term incorrectly or out of context. The mathematics associated with speaker enclosures is MUCH better done in the frequency domain. I suspect that someone is getting down into the time domain whi...

Oviously it doesn't actually do that. If that's not what you're trying to say, what are you trying to say? This may simply be a difficulty in terminology, but your terminology IS GIBBERISH. The term "1/4 wave" by itself is meaningless. Gibberish only because you don't know what it means. ...

Are you trying to say that the port only radiates the upper 1/4 of the wave's amplitude? No it does not only radiate the upper 1/4 wave's amplitude, It is tuned to that point to increase the sound pressure level at the resonate frequency. Which is the same as your statement "The VAST MAJORITY ...

On a regular ported box, the port is setup to use the 1/4 wave of the resonate frequency. You've used this terminology multiple times. You must know what it means, but you need to explain it better because it's gibberish. Gibberish?? Have you ever built subwoofer boxes? To build a ported box you ne...

The port and woofer share a much more complicated relationship than that. At the resonant frequency the woofer cone is heavily loaded and the transfer of energy from the cone to the box is very efficient. The woofer cone is barely moving and most of the sound comes from the port. This is why a band...

The box isn't ALL wrong... it's just wasting a lot of its energy. If you think about the funcitoning of a ported box vs bandpass, you'll see that the output of the port on a bandpass box is the response of the woofer as installed in the sealed volume filtered through the ported volume. The response...

The box is all wrong. The box you built is a ported box. The port size is designed to compliment what is coming out of the woofer hence the port is tuned to produce a specific 1/4 wave frequency. To build a ported box and then just use the port for the sound will decrease sound quality. You would on...

My first sentence is correct yes. But my question to you is Dave, how do you design a kit for a Fiero and put it on sale to the public but never actually install one? Zumalt installed it first and have the first kit out for sale. Which means he was the first. Rchee had his first V-8 Fiero built and...

It was actually to answer Ryans question over from Neverland. His question was who did the first SBC kit. The answer is zumalt. Sorry but thats not distorted. Thats fact. As I said, Your facts are inaccurate. The "Z" kit was the first kit to be released to the public. Not the first V-8 Fi...

Interesting quote. Although as usual you have distorted the facts to draw your own inaccurate conclusion. I think this thread is just to get a bashing thread going.
Better luck next time.

No I think someone ended up bolting a truleo onto that engine that dave built and it made like 19X whp. He posts here if I am not mistaken. The carb'd 3.4L I built hooked to an auto trans had the following specs: Engine dyno = 223hp (before dyno-tuning with the engine in the car) Chassis Dyno = 197...

So let me get this straight. GM makes a special cam for the camaro motor, but then doesnt' list it as a separate part number in their catalog? No, The GM cam Supersede's the previous cams. The old part numbers were replaced by the new one. None of the aftermarket flat tappet cams will work with the...
