Scott - need specs please

[MTA 0]

remember the 4 15" BTL's you sent to me for the SM3-4 build? you wouldnt happen to have a set of specs for those do you?

lemme know please

Thanx

No I do not have the specific specs for your subs...

But if you let me know space and other things we can help you get it setup and rolling.

Specs really dont help in the grands scheme of things with SPL. But you could realistically take the BTL15 specs off the site and use those. Nothing majorly different between them.

Thanks,

Scott

thanx Scott... no biggie.. I just like comparing what the sub does in a program compared to real life in the enclosure in a vehicle... the van is already built nad somewhat loud

last 2x show it was at did 156.2dB off a single American Bass 500.1 and they still havent been broken in...when i come back from vacation I will do a few deathmatch runs to break them in should be able to do a 155dB for 5 mins straight

in 2005 with 4 matts 3000.1d and 4 mt 15's was able to do 157x for 5 mins straight...this is in street max 3-4

we'll see whatt happens ..I will keep you posted how things are doing

thanx again for your help

Glad to hear they are doing well. Death match makes me cringe Poor subs

I love death match... it puts the sub at its best...if it cant do death match for 5 mins at 1/2 power in testing..it cant do a 3 second burp at full power! thats just my opinion...

just like seen in the lanes in death match...if u rememebr when TEAM LOUD came across the ocean to compete at finals a few years back... they did 175x i believe in death match then still burped 3db higher without charging

thats the crazy chiet... too bad they retired

well we did more testing tonight... did consistent 155.7 - 155.9's with one AB 500.1 also did power test 3756 watts ... at those numbers seems like I need to do death match to soften them up a bit... last year the van did 160.7dB ( found my pictures) with 2 amps power output was only 78xx watts ...

or is it possible that the MT is aprox 3dB louder than the BTL 's we just put in the van ?

or are they that desperate for breaking i n? they are still tighter than a virgin on her first date

[NDMstang65 403]

There's a big difference from 7800 watts and 3700 watts....

There's a big difference from 7800 watts and 3700 watts....

yes I agree... it is a big difference... but... even in theory it is only 3.24dB in reality by adding that much power I should only gain 2dB maybe with some luck 2.5dB

dont get me wrong I love these subs...

Im just trying to figure out if being as stiff as they are if that could cause that much loss in SPL ?

one more question...

nothing has changed in the box at all... but swapping out the subs to put in the BTLs is it possibnle the frequency changed by 3-4hz also ?

anyone seen this happen before?

[NDMstang65 403]

Which BTL/options do you have?

Yes the frequency will change, and you will have to re-tune your enclosure to get where you were at...you can't just expect to flop different subs in the holes and gain/be where you were before you started.

Thanks!

just the basic 2 slug SPL optimized according to Scott... I believe he may have even put 5 spiders... when they were built I did give him specs for my box so he had something to owrk with...

do the BTL's prefer larger or smaller compared to the MT's ?

[MTA 0]

well right now Its at 159dB but with 4 amps properly loaded down so aprox 10kw maybe closer to 12kw didnt do power test

[MTA 0]

well final of the day is 159.6dB

[NDMstang65 403]

Gotta retune and test man...they are going to peak different than MT's will...

im actually thinking of cutting off 2 spiders per sub... they are way to stiff
