under volting an actuator will just make it weaker. you can use a regular motor with a triangular shaped sprocket. that way you can just put it on a momentary button and you wouldnt even need to switch the polarity to close it. you would just need a spring that pulls it closed. that way when the motor turns the tip of the triangle pushes the panel open, and when the sprocket reaches the flat side, it will close..

:) just an idea

nice work!!!

theo, ditch the deck. just use an iStreamer to a bit one... its flawless. adding a deck makes things messy, and you'll never use it once you have that ipad in the dash.. the istreamer from the soundman site includes the 2.1amp car charger.

you can change the dimensions of your vent on the vent tab and see how it changes the response. you're going to want to ad a filter for cabin gain on the eq/filter tab... i'll post again with that information when i get to the shop. you can also do multiple projects on one graph to compair box designs. i always start by entering the manufacture's suggested sealed box for reference. the plot tab lets you change the line color and thickness to make it easy to compair multiple designs on the saem chart.

hmmm thats a tough one.. i have a hertz hdp5 up in the stock room but haven't even put one in yet.. the're supposed to be pretty dope.
