Installed the proto in a Blazer

[Electrodynamic 2]

Before anyone asks, not the Blazer, but a Blazer. 12" sealed in about 1.3 cubes with a Hifonics Z600 on it. If and/or when Jake ever shows up on here he can vouche for what I'm about to post on.

Our bass demo CD that we have made has everything from Tocatta in B (off the Bass Mechanic CD) to Tricycle (for dynamics) to Bela Fleck, to Spies, to...well you get the picture. Tocatta (sp?) in B is just nuts. Unlike the previous generations of Mag's, there is no shelving off in the extreme low-end (the older Mag's would drop about 3 dB but keep that same level through the lower freq's). As the bass drops, the Mag just keeps the SPL the same. This single 12 off of 600 watts makes the steering columb shake around 25 Hz and lower.

The Spies (self-titled I believe - the black covered CD) is percussive and transient beyond what a 12 should be with this low of wattage. I was riding around at around 10 at night with the system cranked...which is very unlike me. The bass felt and sounded sooo good that I just didn't care. I even got back in the car a little later than that and cranked it for all it was worth to show Jake how it performed.

Basically, I love these new drivers. They have the same SQ as the older versions but with more low-end capability and also the ability to get louder than the previous versions. Basically the best of both worlds IMO. Just ask anyone who has heard the previous gen's vs. the new proto.

wheres myne nick?

[ngsm13 1]

Yes, they are QUITE delicous Nick! I experienced the same thing when I DEMO-d it! Insane SQ, sounded great on ALL types of music...and a WICKED low-end. You convinced Jason (undercoverpunk) when he heard when I was demo-ing it...he's DEAD SET on getting a pair...loves them...as do i!

yeah i'll vouche for it too....bet it sounded real nice too after i broke in it for you(lol...i bet it was broken in before me).. i really wish i had it back or can't wait to get the new one. I miss the proto....

[Electrodynamic 2]

The proto in my sisters car hits beyond hard. The Integra is going to be nuts, but dang....for a simple system, hers hits HARD.

I love that sub

[Tirefryr 1,742]

And you're going to have the vehicle completed when?

[Electrodynamic 2]

Her car is done. My car...well I don't even have on yet. The motor swap should be done tonight and then it's time to call people back and sell it and get the teggy.

I know nothing about downloading music, so I'll have to check it out the next time I buy some CD's. If you could send me the .wav file I'll burn it and let you know how it sounds this next weekend.

..I still can't get over how hard that one 12 hits with 600 watts. It's almost enough bass for me. I'm a SQeer, but I still like to slam with the best of them from time to time. And yessss.....2 12's with 5k watts in the teggy is going to be glorious.

BTW: Nick, expect a call about power soon. The b16a is in the car (not finished, but the motor/trans are all in and we'll finish it up tomorrow) and I'm getting calls about it like crazy. As soon as it's sold I'm ordering the amps.

[jntar 15]

PICS!!!!

please

[Electrodynamic 2]

Nope. No pics. It's a small sealed box in the back of a Blazer with the amp on the back of the box and a non-logo'd sub. Nothing special.

[Supa_c 1]

just your typical ghetto install

[Electrodynamic 2]

Except it's clean.

[NDMstang65 403]

Look into partnering up with Maxxsonics as well...John may very well be interested

I just hope the 15's sound good and have quick response. I've nevered owned a 12 and I've decided to jump all the way to a single 15 in a sealed enclsoure. Might have been a mistake. I guess I'll find out in a few weeks.

[Electrodynamic 2]

You didn't make a mistake at all. As Nick said, I replaced the Aura 15 (the totally custom tooled speaker) that has been in our system since the 2'nd generation of Magnum's for the new Mag without hesitation. The new drivers are literally that much better.

he is right when he says that much better.

Well my situation is a little different. The only sub I've ever ran is a 10 and I'm used to the way they sound. Now I totally skipped running 12's and went straight to a 15. If it has quick response like the 10's I have I'll be fine.
