two different subwoofer wave cancellation true??

[caddyon20s 0]

can i have this two subs in my trunk?/ each one on its own box, and both boxes tuned at 35 hz i was told that two different subs have what its called wave cancellation and that they wont sound good even though they are both great subs, please help help.

We already said it was a bad idea...

I'm trying to find an article that can illustrate it for you.

Is this deja vu

whats with all the threads?

Stupid is, as stupid is. That is all.

it does work actually... but not in the same box and not off the same amp.

if you have a different amp fpr each sub/set and a differing cross over point, it may work.

it made my friends truck louder but i wouldnt reccomend it... i mean come on, rep one company!!!

No, IT DOES NOT WORK. HAVING TWO DIFFERENT DRIVERS PLAY THE SAME FREQUENCY RANGE DOES NOT WORK.

Don't do it. It looks ghetto and while it CAN help sometimes (because I have tried it multiple times myself just to see first hand what would happen), but more often than not it will be softer instead of louder, and sound crappy.

^^^ everyone else has said what they have for a reason, they do know what they're talking about.

No, don't do it. I've merged all of your other threads into the one at the top of the page. Now, don't make a new thread every time you have a question. Odds are it's already been answered, but you can post multiple questions in the thread that you create...

16 threads and 17 questions is a little much .

Thanks

Just copying and pasting from another thread to here as well to save a wee bit o time.

After having read through all of this... Im not saying what the RF tech said is incorrect, but it isnt telling the whole story either. Just because a driver is the same size, same nominal impedance, and in separate but equal enclosures/chambers, does not mean it will work properly or optimally. Yes, it will work. But not as good as it could.

To me it is like taking a 35" tire off my jeep (15" wheel with a 35" off road tire) and replacing it with a 30" bling wheel with an ultra low profile tire with an overall tire diameter of 35" as well. Now if the bolt pattern fits, you have similar offset so it wont rub, and the same OD... it will work. I can drive it... But when I try to hit the rocks or dirt, problems will arise.

There are MANY different aspects to a sub and how it reacts in the same enclosure with power. Its all of these other things, suspension, impedance rise, Q values, and on and on that will determine how well things will work together.

My answer is if you want to build a dual chamber box that seems optimal for either sub, then put both in and wire them separately to try them 1 at a time to see which you like better... then pull the other out and replace it with what you prefered. Doing this simply to see which sounds/works better for your application is fine. But I wouldnt run them at the same time. Odd things happen with different back EMF screwing with eachother at different frequencies as well as with the amp. Its simply not good practice. Will it work? Yes. Should you do it? No.

Thanks,

Scott

Thank you very much that was the kinda answer i was looking for not only a yes or a no, dont do it, its gonna suck, all that thanks scott!!!!, but anoher question now since i already ordered a fi bl15 and didnt know nothing about this, i own a t215 rockford wich sub is better more bass my rockford produces good bass no destortion at all really good sub but this fibl look really good also i guess I AM A have to wait and try both see wich one gets louder and again thanks scott.

[Tremor1127 0]

yes, wait and try them. my god, newb syndrom to the ultimate maximum.

sorry, but for real.

[bdawson72 0]

Try both.

But I'd probably keep the BL.

Try both.

But I'd probably keep the BL.

WHY?? do you think a bl is gonna get louder and sound clean, my t2 does really really good but when i bought the fi bl sub i didnt know that its not good to mix subs so I AM A have to get rid of one will see wich one owns.
