If you want it to sound good...and loud.....put it in the recommended box If you want it to set off alarms and be able to hear it 1/4 mile away...put it in a smaller box and HOPE that it sounds like this pooh...because it's hard to do with a Magnum...(High Qtc) Personally...I ran probably 1kw to each of mine in a ported box tuned to 28hz...and while it sounded ridiculously loud inside the car..it didn't sound THAT loud outside the car...which I prefer...because usually being able to hear it outside the car makes it sound like CRAP..IMO...you get that STUPID STUPID boomy sloppy bass that pretty much is just a HUGE PEAK in the frequency response. If you want to compete...put the 12/15 in about a 3.5-6 cube box with an adjustable port at 30hz and 38hz

Ok....spill your latest stuff.....it may be too advanced for some of us...but I can use a good lesson every now and then on stuff....where you wanna start???

Assuming your avatar = your car, 1 12" with a 500/1 ported will be just fine...will save you money...and 250w on a D2 isn't doing it justice...

327's = 307's with 6 1/2" mid....Price will go up of course...just like any upgrade in component sizes...that should give you an idea of what to expect Nick should have this available shortly...he's got a full load of things on his mind...be patient... He wants you guys to get these things as fast as possible.

So a driver can compensate its low Qts by using a less compliant suspension..but would in turn lower overall efficiency of the driver....of course...more compliant suspensions would allow for more travel (eventual displacement)..if not tapped out by the motor or limited by it's basket... And no..not sufficient enough...feed me more!!! Now...if you use a very low Q driver, use very light materials which effectively raise your Fs, and use a tight suspension, wouldn't you yield a high Vas, and thus greatly increase the enclosure for a given alignment?..I'll get back to this in a second... Maximize efficiency = low inductance, low mms = higher Fs, varied Q depending on motor and compliance Disadvantages: Compensation of low end, larger box size required due to increased Vas Maximize low end = average inductance, higher mms = lower Fs, varied Q depending on motor and compliance Disadvantages: Compensation of efficiency, shoebox woofer Maximize power handling = higher inductance, lower mms? = average Fs, assumed midline Q for a ported application?? Disadvantages: Compensation of efficiency requires larger box size.? Now...a highly efficient, low Q driver will supply a larger Vas, and thus....a larger required box...Sounds like the Mag in comparison to the 12A to me... I assume it all starts at the Q of the motor itself...and can be manipulated by compliance...but would lower efficiency....Picking a motor's Q must be critical...But I assume this is where we factor in BL...as it has to effect the efficiency of the driver... Look what you've done to me... P.S. It's 2:25am...I HAVE an excuse if I'm wrong somewhere...plus..I know nothing...

POST AWAY!

Hey...don't leave us hangin' Nick....need some answers...and more talking...I want to llllllllllllllleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrnnnnnnnn.

So much more can be had with perfecting your enclosure...For the 12's, Loyd was saying about 3.5 cubes tuned just under resonant frequency.... Play around with cone area Backwave? Eliminate Corners 1/4 wave theory Master your box with tricks...then increase power.....

Mag 12 and 15 SEALED don't look all that pretty on WinISD...just how it goes...put her in a box and shove her some power...Graphs don't mean everything... Just an excuse to try different things out

I'll race ya!!! Just don't freeze up there in the frozen tundra...poor Maggies... You KNOW I'd drive up to Indiana...might need to take a wee little trip in December and meet you somewhere...

Drive to North Carolina.....what would it look like.... I-40 doesn't look too bad of a journey...only 2286 miles... Sorry..Me = BORED.... <-----needs life...

SIr...you need life too.... B) Shut it... I've had good reason to drive Jacob...the idea is to try and keep miles OFF your car...not put miles ON your car...gah....get a car pool...

SI 8's WILL DO SUB DUTY...

SIr...you need life too.... B)

Wuss...don't matter if you are right and wrong...just matters that you are learning....I'm not informed any more than you are

I'll create it...if you let me be a mod

In a businessman's head...there is NEVER enough interest...

ooo..didn't think about that...gonna have to agree with you on that idea

I'm assuming (unless some other unknown variable) that a foam surround is more efficient than a rubber surround due to less mass?

Heyy...I'd excurt a good 7" p2p if you would stick a paper clip into a wall socket...and NO...it won't be inverted...*one step ahead of Hollis*

I want that video btw....seriously...send it to me..ASAP

Imma say I got farther than that...it was definitely not linear..but I KNOW I got farther than that...and no harm....I dunno...maybe my eyes were deceiving me..but I coulda SWORN it was farther...

sounds like a damn good setup... Welcome aboard...

STEAL

Imma think you haven't called someone yet....
