    Daber Audio Shop Reviews...

    You know, Anton, I've never thought about using it in that application. I think if it were part of a custom made 3 way system and used more as a "midbass" than a "midrange" it would be acceptable, but not in a two way. It just really isn't well suited for a two way system.

    Daber Audio Shop Reviews...

    Thank you, I'm very excited about it. We're gaining a lot of support on a local level, and I can't wait to see it build on here. I'm hoping that this sale will lead to even more great reviews. Thanks for the support!

    Not quite a "sub in use", but still cool. Check the spot right in front of the side window on Tim Wilkerson's NHRA Full Throttle Series Top Fuel Funny car. I'm very, very excited to have this logo on his car, and I can't thank him enough. If any of you are ever at an NHRA race, take the time to stop by and say "Hi" to Tim. He's a great guy and always takes time to talk to fans when they aren't working on the car between rounds. Click for big

    Daber Audio 14 Day Sale @ SSA

    I can see your point. These are truly ridiculous prices though, so should you change your mind, you won't really get hurt too bad if you decide to sell them. BUT - there is always the option of running FOUR

    This truck belongs to a local kid named Christian. He is running an SQL-12 in his F-150 and is powering it with a Pioneer GM-5400t. This arrangement is a bit underpowered but it still gets very loud. He will be getting it metered in the next week or so and I will post a video. My guess would be 140-141 on a term lab, but I will post the video of the metering so that you can see it when we do it. Just in case anyone is curious with this arrangement, Christian's parents had one rule: That this be a subwoofer that was easy to remove and only took up the space occupied by the rear driver's side seat. Christian had previously had a slim profile Pioneer 10" woofer, and he was shocked with the difference. By the way, this camera sucks and it seems like the microphone completely shuts off when it gets overpowered.

    Enclosure Reccomended sizes for Daber subs

    These are generalized recommendations that if built, will perform very well. Of course, you can use a free box program like WinISD or something similar and be able to use the T/S specs that are available on the website and come up with your own design. SQL 8: Sealed Recommendation: .35 - .6 cubic feet per driver Ported Recommendation: 1.3 - 1.8 cu. ft, tuned 31-37hz, 6-8 square inches of port per cubic foot SQL 10: Sealed Recommendation: .55 – 1.2 max. cubic feet per driver Ported Recommendation: 1.8 - 2.3 cubic feet, tuned to 30-35hz. 8-12 square inches per cubic foot. SQL 12: Sealed Recommendation: .7 min. – 1.8 max per driver Ported Recommendation: 2.1 - 3.0 cu. ft, tuned 30-35 hz, 8-12 square inches per cubic foot SQL 15: Sealed Recommendation: 1.3 min. – 2.25 max. per driver Ported Recommendation: 3.0 - 4.5 cubic feet, tuned to 28-35, 9-14 square inches per cubic foot. The DVC's are still a bit out there as far as time is concerned. I can tell you for sure that they will not be available before the sale ends. I don't know what kind of power you are trying to, or hoping to run to them, but I can tell you that they still perform very, very well when underpowered. If you had 350-500 watts to throw at an SQL-12 you would still get plenty loud.

    They won't be out before the sale ends. How much power do you have at 2 ohms?

    x2. I have some pics I need to post of a local kid with an SQL-12 in his truck. Again though, it's just a standard carpeted slot port. I need to get a couple of more pics of the enclosure that went in to that boat. I would like to see someone from the forum post some pics of THEIR Daber Audio woofers

    The owner of this car left a review of his sub on the SSA store page. I have been pretty busy lately and haven't had much time to check things out and just saw it tonight. He seems very happy. He wrote: Beast Posted by Jack on 11th Apr 2010 I have this subwoofer in my 2002 nissan altima and it is definately the deepest, cleanest bass i have heard and i've heard quite a few subwoofers being as many of my friends have systems in their cars as well. I have never heard of daber before so i was kind of leery but i am definately going to continue with this brand. The only thing that poses a problem is that is is only single voice coil so it takes 800 watts at 4 ohm but i saw in the post that dvc is coming soon. i highly recommend this brand and suggest that you choose this over kenwood, pioneer, memphis, and hifonics because i have had all of these in my car and this sub blows them out of the water!" I'm glad to hear he is enjoying it" It's good to hear some feedback from you guys!

    Thanks! As far as the amp goes, I figured that's pretty much what it was. I asked him where he got it and says it was a Christmas gift. I tried to tell him as politely as possible that he needed to get a real amp and let that sub hammer.

    They do look similar, I agree. They aren't the same though. Kyle is running a 15 and Sionne is running a 12. I built both of those boxes and neither one of those guys wanted a real flashy box, so I just made them something that would work well and not cost them an arm and a leg.

    This will be the last one for today. This car belongs to a kid named Jack. The guy who built his box got the port WAY off square. There is 3/4 of an inch difference in width from the front of the front section to the back. I have no idea what the bend is like, but I can only assume it's off by as much. I'm trying to talk him in to getting it rebuilt. He has some old Alpine amp on it that he says is doing something like 500 watts, I can't tell you what the model number is.

    This John's car. I need more pictures of this. It's nothing special looks wise, but damn does it sound good. He listens to a lot of hair band music and I give him a hard time and tell him that no subs will make Winger sound awesome, but in reality it sounds damn good. When these subs were brand new, and I mean brand new we put it on a term lab on a bitter cold day and popped off 141.2. He is running a Boston Acoustics GT-50 amp, which pops off 400RMS @ 2/ 14.4 volts. Not bad numbers for so little power. I think Sionne's car has him beat but we will find out soon.

    These subs are going in a 34 foot Fountain boat. The installer has been sending me pics of his progress along the way. I think he is finishing it up and going to have it on the water by the weekend. I will post more pics as they become available. There are two 10" SQLs going in.

    This car belongs to a guy named Sionne. This guy has a MTX 500d on it, which is only doing about 300 RMS @ 4 ohms. This car is ridiculous. We will hopefully be getting him to get the car to us to put a meter on it soon. It sounds phenomenal and absolutely hammers. This guy is an old school USACi competitor who got out of the game a few years ago. This is the first system he has had in three years. He said that he likes this sub more than any of the other subs he ever had. I'm trying to get him on here to write a review.

    A little build

    This is the beginning of a test build. It probably would have progressed further if the belt on my table saw wouldn't have taken a big dump on me. I will have to go to Springfield (hopefully tomorrow) and get one...soon. I still need to resin the curves, etc. It's a long way from being done. I was hoping to have it done by tomorrow afternoon, for a special guest. Oh well, in the meantime you can poke fun at my table-saw-frustration-creation. Here is to hoping that tomorrow is more productive!

    This wins. By far. I would LOVE the chance to do that.

    A little build

    How much and what would shipping be to zip 57201? Thx! This does not include the woofer, but the box I would let go of for $80 just to get it out of my woodshop. I will ship it, but you'd have to pay for the shipping. It weighs about 90 pounds I will have to wait, My yellow lab had a run in with the UPS truck this afternoon and is at the vet overnight and will need surgery on his eye. Oh good god! That sounds terrible. Good luck to you and your dog!

  25. Holy Smokes! They want $580 for 1 inch tweeters with outboard crossovers? Pfft...I could build with ScanSpeak Revelators for less money and i'm sure it would be much better.
