Sundown Audio

Recommended Posts

Hola!

So iv been thinking of downsizing (guess thats what ud call it ) from 3 x15s to 2

I only wanna downsize for my back seats back

But i was wondering if i down size to 2 subs would i lose a ridiculous amout of output or would the extra power to each sub and a different box design kinda balence things out i was thinking a possible 4th order for 2 if id fit behing my back seats

Current set up

-2door blazer

- 3 x15's

- bc3500d

- stock electrical (shhh I'm geting to fixing that)

- and a BIG azz box Subs up port back

what are you wired to now and what will you be wired to after? if you are trying to remove one sub to gain room then the 4th order bandpass is not an option.. those tend to be bigger enclosures

well there is not enough info here to know for sure.. in theory yes you will lose output but your not telling us what coils your subs and the load. youre not giving us the enclouser specs either

short answer, there's no way to tell....All depends on your box skills....The box shape and position will probably be different, so that will have a hand in how it performs and sounds. And if your thinking more power on each sub than your most likely talking about wiring to half ohm, which IMO wouldn't think about until you beef that electrical.

it will depend on the box he has now. if its on the smaller side he can build one on the larger side and make the box more efficient. but like everything he doesn't give any specs of anything and just asks if he will lose output..

by the way.. why is this in the sundown section?

You're not at 1 ohm nominal with (3) D2's. Maybe 1.33? Even that on stock electrical has got to be killing you.

The short answer is... yes. Losing a sub will hurt your output. All things being equal- to the tune of ~ 1db.

BUT... all things won't be equal. You could potentially wire to .5 now and rebuild and be louder than you were before.
