Anyone know how to model subs in winISD?

[EPerez 236]

So I'm not sure how much you can tell from winISD by modeling subs, but if anyone wants to help me out and model 2 sets of subs for me in winISD that would be great!

 

Also, exactly what information can you get from modeling subs?

[S.DeYoung 968]

Easy to do, which subs? basically you can find the response of a subwoofer in different kinds of enclosures. Winisd does not take into account cabin gain and other car enviroment problems. its basically giving you the response in a perfect room

I don't know if I want to keep my Sundown X 12s or go with Xcon 12s! Damn it's such a hard decision.

 

Either 2 Sundown X 12s or 2 Xcon 12s on an saz 2500.

Box can be 6.1 cubes (29hz) or 6.4 cubes (32hz) with a 8" aero port

 

 

What all info do you need to model them?

Would you be able to model them for me?

 

I've tried modeling subs before, but I don't know what to look for and what the graphs mean.

[S.DeYoung 968]

Yes I will do them when I get home. What is your goal with this setup?

[EPerez 236]

The goal is to play anywhere from 28hz to 45hz with authority. I know both subs will be able to do that. I also want it to sound good, but we all know that is subjective lol This is going to be my daily setup that will mostly be played at lower volume, but will be cranked like a meth head when I'm with friends or showing off.

 

I listen to a lot of rap and trap/dubstep music.

 

Thanks man! I appreciate it.

 

Ohh and subs/port will be front firing with trunk sealed off.

I wouldn't mind helping also, but I think Sean will do a more proper job.

 

Do you mind me asking where you got 8" flared ports?

Sean has looked it up and we have been texting about everything. If you would like to do it also and see that would be cool. I don't think you would get different things though, right?

 

Also Adrian D. on here sells 8" and 10" flared ports for scheduled 40 pvc pipes. I will get the pvc pipe, but it will be expensive though.

I too have trouble making sense on graphs in winISD. I plug t/s into it and it spits out a graph I'm unsure if I'm reading correctly.

also...it was said winISD doesn't calculate cabin gain.. How is that put into the findings in winISD?

Sorry to thread jack I'm just very curious also.. Tired of asking so many damn questions that a program may have the power to answer for me.

It won't. Go to Vance Dickason's website. He has an option on the site to sigh up for free software. The software is in excel and is designed by Patrick Turnmire. All you do is type in basic specs and it will calculate more specific specs and has options for sealed and ported boxes. It will also calculate the rms power for the driver to hit Xmax in your entered enclosure.

There are also crossover calculators and a spreadsheet that gives cabin gain per your entered room info.

No thread jack here I learned something too out of your question. I'll have to check out Quentin's suggested website. Thanks!
