SSA Sub(s) having issue on lower notes, poor kay?
swift replied to Sencheezy's topic in Subwoofers / Speakers
I heard it to and didnt say anything. I was assuming it was your box. Let's throw it in my box and hook it to my sundown amp and see it still does it. You know my enclosed will hammer the lows so let's check it out. If it is your enclosure we will start on a new one for you. Someone is buying my Q tomorrow so box will be empty and power supply waiting and wires waiting. Let me know I personally think the enclosed is too big, it may be leaking, and also the port seems huge for such a big box. It sounded like a unloading issue to me personally -
I would do a down firing 4th order design out of birch. Spray with bedliner and it would be fine. Similar to this, one I thought of right away and one I found searching online I would have the opening recessed like the one I drew so water would not run in the opening if it did rain.
-
Looks like I will either try a SP4 15 or may stick with with the Q line and do two 18's in my design of 16.5cu at 30hz. I love me some lows. May be much less wait time on the Q's also
-
Awesome, Good job!!

If you need any help with anything install wise or decide to try a different enclosure let me know and I'll be glad to help. I am local to you.

2000 rms? amps
swift replied to hustle313's topic in Amplifiers / Head Units / Processors / Electrical
Anything listed above will be good. This would be my choice on a tight budget if I were buying new http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_23549_Hifonics-Brutus-BRZ2100.1D.html -
I don't know how to get that unless I make the box 54in wide and port 10x30 holy chit!! 52 is about as wide as I can go. Leaves me about 4in on each side for amp placement
-
Ok. If I go 52in wide and use 1in mdf, double baffle. Port 8in x 30in I get 16.5 cubes tuned to 30hz after displacement and bracing. Dimensions will be 32h x 52w x 27d.....240 sqin of port for 14.5 per cube. Might be on to something here...... Which sub fits this bill the best? SSD's? ICON,s?
-
Low loud and clean Max dimensions are 32h x 50w x 27d, port will be either 5-6in wide tuning will be 30-33ish.... I will have to remove the door to get the enclosed in. Don't want to build in truck. I am in my truck alone 90% of the time, when we all go somewhere we take the Escalade.
-
Thanks, if I go through the trouble of taking seats out then I will just do two 18's. Since these others are doing 4 15's I will try something different. Wish I had the space for 2 21's but I don't think 15-17 cubes is enough

I would try the Hifonics BRZ line. Great reviews and evryone that actually has one likes them. -
Tuned in! I am also switching to 2 SSD's and will be running mine of a saz1500 for the time being. Look forward to hearing how yours turns out
-
well just 1 amp for all 4 subs ????? im not trying to be a dick here but thats like trying to fit 50 people in a mini van atleast you need 1 amp per sub
-
I have to agree, I like a forum style way better. Now I just go look on the "other" boards. Sucks because I thought this as one of the better classifieds before.

I am thinking of going with 2 sets of components for my front stage and doing away with the rears.(maybe) I have a Alpine PDX 4.150 that does 150 x 4 rms to each channel. Right now I have the fronts on the front channel rca and the rears on the rear channel RCA's. So I do not mess with imaging too bad do I just run RCA Y spitters just on the front channel from the head unit so I can use all 4 channels of this amp? I need something to keep up with two 18's and I think my current front stage would but since my rears will blocked by the huge box I might as well double up front and use all 600 of this amp
-
If so then I am better bridging the amp and not splitting RCA's. Didnt think of the voltage. hmmm maybe someone can answer that. I am running Rockford T2652s up front and would probably just add another set. I think by running splitters you will decrease the ohm load from 4 to 2ohms Do some research and you will find out splitters do not change the ohm load, only adding/deleting speakers can change ohm loads and wiring configurations. Please be advised with what your saying as other people read this thread for the same answers, we dont want any confusion or misinformation. Maybe he should be the one asking questions....LOL Here is my amp specs BTW. http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_6895_Alpine-PDX-4.150.html

So bridge the amp on just the front RCA's or split the RCA's and use all 4 channels independently? I wonder which is most efficient or maybe it will not matter? It runs 4ohm bridged or unbridged.
-
This possibly could be the dumbest question I have seen yet and I made the damn thread!! LOL
-
I have a Sundown 1500v.2 on the sub RCA's. (didnt think that was relevant) I have a Alpine PDX 4.150 with the front RCA's on two channels to the front components and the rear RCA's on two channels for the rear coaxials. I want to run two sets of components up front. I did not think it was a good idea to run the rear RCA's for the second set of components. To use all 4 channels of this amp I have to run 2 sets of RCA's to it. Should I split the front RCA's coming from the head unit so I dont have a "rear" signal going to the second set of front components? http://www.sonicelec...cture_id=145065 EDIT, after looking at the pic of my amp I think I can switch it to run all on one set of RCA's. If so I should have done alittle more reasearch on my amp before asking. Maybe I made it more complicated than it needed to be.
-
You can adjust that with your head unit. You must not understand my question at all. I'll give someone else a shot at it. Thanks
-
I do have front, rear and sub rca's coming from the head unit. Both front and rears are going to the 4 channel currently, but I thought it would be better if all fronts were coming off the same signal? Maybe I am wrong, thats why I'm asking. Thanks
-
If set up correctly, you will be extremely pleased with that setup!
-
Just get the cooling and extra spider if you want to upgrade it. I would at least run 4 gauge to the amp no less. Do not use 8 gauge 2.3 ported would sound great
-
The Alpine TypeR is a decent coaxial that takes a lot of power. Before buying my components I ran the 5x7's all around and they sounded great. I still use one set for my rear fill. I would get the alpine 6x9's over RF. good luck
