Elevation Audio Setup

[Swimmerdude 0]

Well guys, my setup consists so far of an Alpine CDA-9851, Elevation Audio DX1500.1, and an Elevation Audio 15" Execution. If you dont know about Elevation Audio, their site is www.elevatinaudio.com

All I gotta say is that the Execution is amazing. It is a dual 2ohm sub and is being ran at 4ohm for now because my electrical system cant handle the amp being ran at 1ohm. The amp does like 700rms at 4ohm and will do 2000rms at 1ohm.... so you get the idea. Right now, it is in a ported box that has been given to me and it does really well in it. It is really loud even being powered by less than half of what the amp can put out!! Someone i know has an L7 in a 4.5ft3 ported box with 900rms going to it and this is louder than that. This thing also sound amazing!! I used to have 2 15" Kicker CVR's and this blows them away. It is louder and sounds soooo much better. The sub is meant for SPL but it sounds amazing. In a 2 weeks i will be going to a DB Drag competition around where i live (Michigan) and i shall see what it does. It will be ran at 1ohm there and since the car is off, the amp will probably push out aprox 1500rms. It will be in a 3ft3 ported box tuned to 45hz. People that have used the Executions think that i should easily be in the 140's but we shall wait and see what it does.

looking at the pics, i'm just wondering ? why did they have to use a 2-piece basket ? i mean, there's a spider right next to the magnet and anotherone just below the cone. wouldn't it have been better to use only the lower spicer and a 1-piece cone ?

pretty nice box & amp

I think the dual basket designs are simply a "my penis is bigger than yours" type deal for the manufacturers. Size and looks sell, and they are trying to capitalize on it. IT serves no real practical use.

The setup looks great though.

Thanks guys. Once i decide if i want to keep that box or make my own, i will hide everything a little better. I am thinking about getting a set of the Elevation Concert525 components and using their DX80.2 amp when it comes out. But that wont be for a couple months.

the idea is more linear travel...by having the spiders (in the case of the LVS, a double spider up top with a single spider down low) that far apart the theory is that the sub can only move in a linear fashion as there is no "pivot" point that can be created by having all the spiders together.

the double basket is so the former can be long enough to support such a build.

in the case of the LVS it is more gimmick as function. while they do sound good and get loud, you can get the mojo 15 to sound just as good, get louder, handle more power and pay half as much.

like ryan stated, it's more "my subwoofer is bigger then yours". IMO and from my experience, nothing gained except having to build a much deeper box. (the LVS mounting depth is almost 12")

wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

They do have reps, where do you live?? I bought my stuff from the Michigan/Wisconsin area rep.

that or atleast someone to come on and talk some about their product line up,

I ask because there seems to be little knowledge about them so far.

Well.... they have their own forum. You can get to it through their site. On caraudiocentral.net, there are a few dealers from Elevation Audio there.
