Will you be making any enclosures for the 370 Roadsters??

I installed my enclosure today, and I'm very impressed with the way it turned out...its exactly what I was looking for. I am having some issues tuning my JL 500/1 amp. I've used one of the setups from their web page, but they don't use my speaker, I have the 13TW5. If anyone else has this setup, and is happy with how they have their amp, could you please help me so I can get the most from my speaker. Thanks in advance...

I found a diagram on the JL web page i'm going to try...but thanks anyways

Here are my recommendations to start with:

Set filter slope to 24db

Set crossover to 65 Hz

Turn off Infrasonic Filter (This switch is generally used for ported enclosures)

Turn off Bass EQ (At least at first)

Bass EQ Settings:

I would start the Center frequency at 40Hz, Any higher or you will get too much upper bass from this sub.

Also do NOT turn Boost beyond +10

I would set the Q to a wide setting to begin with (1.6 or 2.7)

I agree with most except infrasonic... I would leave that "on" in this application. That will eliminate any frequency lower then 30 hz not go to the sub via amplifier. Human ear can not hear about 20Hz and down anyways and there are very afew recordings that will reproduce 25-30 hz, this allows the amp and subwoofer to work a lot more efficiently. Less heat on amp and less workout for the suboofer for a sound you will not be able to hear.

So I finally got to tune the amp and all I can say is WOOOWWW!!! That is what I was looking for, the tune I followed, was amazing! Now I need some Dynomat, and some new front speakers....

I received my order form you guys a couple of day ago, I have not gotten a chance to open the boxes yet but i must say I am already slightly disappointed in your customer service. I was told I would be notified of how much my total would be. Well i never got a phone call or email, just a notification from my CC statement the night before everything arrived. Then i figured well at least I'll get a shipping notification.. and Nope didn't get that either! I"m really not trying to make a big deal of this because regardless i would make the purchase all over again if I had to. I just wish you guys had better communication skills. It would have been nice to know when the items would be here so that I could make arrangements for these expensive pieces not to be sitting on my front doorstep all day long. Thanx anyway.

TX_370 · 06-04-2010, 11:00 PM

Interested... Will get with you shortly.

I truly appologize. We have a system with ups that is supposed to email you when item ships however there must be glitch in it and it does not always send out a notification. I am however very glad you got everything. Ups is also supposed to get a signature from you and not just leave it at the house. Again I appologize we did not call you.

Thank you for your order.
