Ran My Q's in Street Max 1-2 and Bass Race

Recommended Posts

Hey guys, I was out at a local SPL 2x Show here and ran my Q 18's Off my JBL BP1200.1 in a 16.8CuFt box Tuned to 25Hz

(Its made for LSQ not SPL :)

My highest was a 143.7dB @ 36Hz !! Taking 1st in Street Max 1-2 NW

And in bass Race I was competing in the semi finals and finished in 3rd with an average of 134.7 in the 139.9 runs

It was awesome, i love these subs they are bottom end beasts...

Next show in sept im gonna try an SPL box for em to see how they do tuned higher with more power..

I cooked my JBL on the Last run hehehhehe

Is that an expedition with no rear seats or something? Congrats on the win.

Nope its in a 93' Grand Caravan SE

Both back seats Removed, box is huge ,, hehehe the angle makes it look smaller, figure the dimensions are

46" x 25.5" x 35.5"

I should have my Directed Viper d2500.1 (2500Watts RMS) fixed for the next show in a 18CuFt box tuned to probably 47Hz

Im gonna burp these babies good ehehhe, but with the box im running now music just sounds incredible ! Im hoping for 148+ next time :)

Please give it a couple more days and then I can go and make a claim via the USPS. Normally takes 6-10 business days, but sometimes customs gets cranky. I have had things take over 20. Sorry for the delay, but if they do go MIA, Ill make the claim and get you another set out ASAP.

How do they sound in general? 25 Hz is ultra low, but its probably not a bad thing either considering the 1200.1 doesnt have a subsonic filter.

On Music they sound incredible, they are lacking on filling in somewhere over say 60hz but i dont want them playing there anyways im getting more mid drivers for the doors soon, and I cant blame the subs for this I do have them tuned at 25Hz @ 16.8CuFt :P , but wow do these things ever play down deep ! The only pair of subs i have owned that can set off someones house alarm on music with 1200Watts hahahha. Hence the Burp at 36Hz @ 143.7dB's

Im thinking of changin it up a little and making a newer set of boxes, one for SPL and one 15.9CuFt @ 28.5Hz just to make it a little more music friendly on filling in the Hi-Fi sound and shrink the box down its massive haahah.

Over all though awesome subs !

Scott is it possible that one sub can work in faster then the other ? I dont kow if you have read my other threads about the speakers both working just not in sync like they used to be,, i cant find any air leaks in the box ....

Thanks and i'll let you know if those recones dont show up

NickV where are you located? are you local to where the show was held this weekend? I live literally 10 minutes from that shop... so if you need some help tuning I have been at this for quite a while... U seemed quite excited and into the whole thing... I dont mind helping ppl like you... the ones that whine and cry makes me just ignore them

im the one in the blue neon ..its so loud the paint is falling off the drivers door ... just kidding...

but hey if u want help just ask

Ive been in the car audio industry for 16 years and maybe we can find a sloution to your mysterious subs acting the way they do

Odd... but they could be. I cant seem to find a reason for it though. If you push on them do they feel similar?
