    CSS SDX 12?

    95Honda replied to splxtreme's topic in Subwoofers / Speakers

    The T/S specs will tell you more than anything else...

    God, that sucks!

    Single Inputs vs Dual Inputs

    95Honda replied to CJ18's topic in General Audio

    Jesus Christ, you guys kill me. My only point was it isn't the dual connector that made the difference, it was that 2x copper in the DC power cable run. Run a single 4/0 into a reducer and you will have even less loss and more power. Goddamn, seriously... Nobody was being cynical about your test...

    Single Inputs vs Dual Inputs

    95Honda replied to CJ18's topic in General Audio

    There is NO benefit to "dual inputs". There IS benefits from running 2x the power cable...

    So what was the point? I don't think anything was a surprise...

    No, that isn't what we are saying. If you use those subs it won't sound very good. If you don't mind it not sounding very good, press on with your build. OR, sell the drivers and buy 1 or 2 that are intended for your application and be MUCH better off.

    Ethos dual 12 enclosure 39w x 16h x 19.75d

    95Honda replied to Quentin Jarrell's topic in Direct Sound Solutions

    Please understand that there is no relevance in comparing volume to vent area. Ever. I have no idea where this came from, but please stop posting this type of thing.

    OK. Then do what is specified by Soundqubed: http://www.soundqubed.com/Box-Sizes-and-Tuning-_ep_68.html There really isn't any problems to solve.

    I don't understand what you want us to say... We are trying to explain why the drivers you choose aren't really suited for home audio. If you don't want to hear what we have to say then just build the box in your pictures.
  10. 95Honda
    Lol. The drivers have been in crates for 3 years waiting for an IB install in our new house... Maybe next year I'll get it done...
  11. 95Honda
    Honestly? I would try IB first... Do you have a basement below the listening room?

    Fi audio Q12 and BL12 TOGETHER????

    95Honda replied to Eroc3k's topic in Fi Products

    #1 don't waste your money on CCA power cable, seriously. It is 100% a marketing gimmick... #2 I think you are still missing what we are trying to explain to you about the sub-stage. The way the overall output is going to sound is almost completely determined by the chosen alignment, not the cone size or driver type. If you design for the desired response you are looking for (you sound like you are looking for a bump in the upper range like a sealed box with a higher Q) you will get the results you are looking for. I have not personally used the components you are talking about, but when you have a sub-stage with something like a 15", it is hard to expect a single set of components to keep up in the mid bass regions at all but normal listening levels.

    Not terribly suited for H/T or 2 channel Playback... How many of them do you actually already have?

    Upgraded sub amps...

  16. 95Honda
    If they won't publish T/S then they aren't worth crap. Stereo subs is the way. One sub behind/beside each main. People who say bass is non-direction have never heard decent playback...

    The perception of "fast" is all in your alignment...

    Fi audio Q12 and BL12 TOGETHER????

    95Honda replied to Eroc3k's topic in Fi Products

    There is nothing inherently wrong with running two different subs. You may get some phase difference issues unless they share common airspace (which is completely OK, even with completely different drivers). BUT, there is also no real reason to do this. The difference you are accustomed to hearing is due to the different way the drivers have been used. The sound of sealed you are wanting is due to a high Q box, like over 1, this is what gives you that perceived "punch" and "tightness". The reason the vented have sound lacking there is due again to their design and boosted low end caused by cabin gain which gives a perceived lack of upper bass. Again, this is all a perception due to anomalies of each alignment. My suggested would be, and this is only my suggestion, to chose a pair of the 10" or 12" drivers you were looking at (just chose based on space available). If you decide sealed, chose a Q around .7-.8, if you decide vented, don't tune anywhere below 30Hz and try and model for a low ripple alignment. You will need a SSF. A tad of Eq, not too much, can also help get where you want to be, also... If a bunch of this is over your head, get some help...

    my sub sounds horrible

    95Honda replied to royalblue08's topic in Subwoofers / Speakers

    The title of this thread should have been "I don't know how to properly set up my sub stage, please help"...

    All drivers have power compression. That doesn't neglect the efficiency rating.

    Awesome. I was 3P051 Cool.

    in desprate need of help with my mercedes

    95Honda replied to chucha01's topic in Subwoofers / Speakers

    You can design a bandpass to have a response as flat as any standard 4th order vented. You can also have the needed bandwidth required for your application. It is all how you design the enclosure and the drivers you use...

    Retired? No. I have been in for 16. That was a while ago...
