    Extremely Disappointed

    you have 480 volt wallsockets LMAO

    Playing Below Port Tune

    It's not, because a woofer with 10 mm one way throw will bottom out sooner than a woofer with 30 mm one way throw.

    Where to put subs? What would u do?

    Keep in mind there is more to it than THD. A shift in Bl and/or Cms will also affect the parameters of the driver, which will in turn affect the response of the driver. Some people consider a linear design that decreases the parameter shift more important in subwoofers than the distortion lowering mechanisms involved as we are less sensitive to distortion in this bandwidth. A properly handled inductance is likewise important for reasons other than distortion, as an improperly treated inductance can likewise affect or limit response within the intended/necessary bandwidth. I'm sure you already know all of this, and probably more than myself in regards to driver design. There's much more to the discussion but that really isn't pertinent. My simple point is that I think it's wrong to focus the discussion solely in terms of THD. That said it doesn't necessarily take an "exotic" motor design to achieve these goals. For example, companies such as Peerless and Scanspeak have consistently built high performance drivers without much in the way of "exotic" motor designs. A well executed standard motor topology can be designed to be more than sufficient at supporting a high performance loudspeaker. And while peerless makes great subs and all, its still proven that they are not as well designed as a sub featuring a flat bl curve. However, they do use shorting rings, and pole extenders to lower and linearize inductance. Where are these designs in subs that claim to be SQ like the FI Q? They are non existent. Yet 90% of any car audio forum will sit there and defend it and say its a GREAT SQ sub. While it does sound solid, it lacks anything special enough to be considered a SQ sub imho. i took more measurements and if im going to fit two 8" subs its going to have to be mounted at the back, just in front of the rear seat as thats 9" wide. between the driver and passenger seat where the actual console is, its only 8", minus 1.5" for wood, and it just wont happen. ill upload pics in a minute You can get an inductance ring on the Q, FYI. The logical thing to do is either use .5" MDF, or to fiberglass.

    2x18" AA SMD vs 4pcs 15" fi BTL ufo

    They will have the same "bass" sounds, the only difference is the volume, theoretically more air displacement equals more volume.

    ?Boss Phantom?

    The specifications were established by Boss Audio, I'm guessing that's what you meant by "Who нибудь" For sealed enclosures, 0.8 cubic feet, for vented, 1.2 cubic feet.

    That woofer seems to be legitimate, as far as I can tell.

    Question about my order

    It is odd you didn't get all 4 at one time, did you get a tracking number for each?

    Welcome to the IHoP

    That's insane Why is this post unapproved?
  14. It takes 139 amps at 14.4 volts to make 2,000 watts, pending 100% efficiency, which those amps are about 80% efficient. Their fusing is right on par with that they are capable of drawing, which seems to be less than rated.

    It was only a year ago, she's now married and expecting a baby, I'm happy for her I suppose...

    BL 4 inch coil.

    BTL's are more efficient, they will be more loud at any power level.

    SA18?

    Nevermind, sorry to disappoint :/
  20. Duran

    SA18?

    Actually it may have been a Z 18", I'm trying to find the thread now.
  21. Duran

    SA18?

    Yes he has plans for an SA18, pictures were even released, he didn't release much more info though.
  22. No wonder the midbass is so good, even for stock

    What's the best way into the Car Audio Industry?S

    And I'll travel to NY, then to MD, and put a foot in two fella's asses.
