    solo x or btl

    Good luck giving a square sub 100+ watts over its rating, DOUBLE the power? Get real, you cant believe everything you hear On the other hand the BTL still remains musical on 6,000 watts, and takes burps id 9,000 watts no problem. Don't forget the efficiency as well. The Solo X is only 89.7 efficient, while the BTL is above 90. i had an L5 rated 600 rms and i fed it with an 1100 rms amp What kind of box though? a ported box, kinda a first attempt at a crappy trans line

  3. sounds good, but try to get a diagram too, makes it easier to figure out the wiring

    We were all N00Bz once...

    i decided to go look for my first after is saw this, here it is
  5. so a 3 dollar switch or over 200 for new deck? what I would do is wire up a relay so it would turn on and off when your car is turned on and off. I use one in my car to turn on fans for my amps, you can get them from parts express. http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.c...tnumber=330-073 and you should get this diagram too, is free and it helps alot: http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.c...tnumber=500-001 edit. youll need a power, ground, and ignition wires run to the relay, you can just splice into the ones you have runnin to your deck,

    i was readin more on the quarterwave site again, and it was sayin that for a trans line the cross area needs to be 2x the sd of the woofer, but i thought it needed to be 1x the sd.?

    4 7in woofers, tapped horn

    from what i thought happens, one wave is pushed between the two boxes and comes out the center of the inner box, while the other wave comes out the center box without goin inside the box, its length is 1/4 45 hz wavelength. I tryed to get it like the box on here, http://www.cowanaudio.com/th.html , except mine is like havin 4 of them put together. That website makes it look like it is just a tapered quarter wave. *edit* You might find http://www.quarter-wave.com/ interesting. If you are interested in poking around more about different styles of enclosures go poke around www.diyaudio.com/forums, some quite interesting stuff is logged over there. yea, i like the quarterwave site, i found it a few months ago and was up till about 3 am readin up on it.

    Anyone have experience with the RL-p 18" ?

    huh? my guy is 18...? and i am the only one in my neighborhood that is any good with this stuff how are you good at it if youve never even built one yet, all youve do is that back pack right? and you seem to have alot of different threads with alot of different stories.,.. if you have a question, just ask the question, dont make up a pointless story behind them, cuz thats how it seems, imo

    cheap 0/1 wire

    I ordered some of the E8's from the pre order, how hard would it be to add a small T to that order?

    No, all ive seen is one sub with, but i wanted to try 4 together to see how it would work, and i thought it would look nice, but doin it this way was alot more math. its been gettin pretty loud, especially for the pos woofers, but if i listen to it up close near the opening, there is alot of air flow noise, but about 5 feet away it sounds great. right now i have it layed on its side next to a wall and it fills up most of house with sound. but these little woofers have a low frequency of like 35 hz they dont get the low lows, that gives me a new question. wats is the Fs of the sub, this ones Fs is 55 and it freq range is 35-5000.

    New setup

    Two dual 1 ohm subs. wire each subs coils in series so you have two 2 ohms loads, wire those in parallel to give you one 1 ohm load

    a little. but i did do learn a little about them first, and had to do alot of math on how i thought these designs worked, but idk how one for 4 8" subs would have to be much bigger than this, the height should stay the same, but the width would be wider, the Xarea of the 7" woofers is 86.6 sq in and for the 8"s its 111 sq in.

    thanks, if this enclosure works out really well I'm goin to make another one for 4 of the sundown E8 subs I'm thinking about some E8's as well, for midbass. Im goin to use one for that too, ive already got an enclosure built that goes behind my center console
