Glovebomb Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 I'm just trying to learn how the magnet diameter should play into sub depth in a wedge box.. Have a 04 reg cab silverado i have a desire to install 1 or 2 subs in. I understand that the magnet on the sd-2 is larger than average, interested in a 8 or 10, i have noticed the 10 carries a different cut, will this have a dramatic effect on fitment? Any help given is very much appreciated, thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sundownz Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 Depends on any angles in your box.

Glovebomb Posted March 31, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 Lol Steve, it is very nice to hear directly from Jacob right away! Im glad he follows his forums so well ? Good to hear from you as well! Ok.. Lets take measurements from a prefab as an example.. 5/8 mdf, 13"h x 17 7/8"w x 4 1/4" td x 7" bd.. Box specifies a 5" depth with a special groove cut in rear of box. Question I have is determining that boxes angle and fitment of the sd-3 10 in it. Box specifies 6" magnet dia. for said depth. I understand that the magnet dia. on the sd-3 10 blows that out of the water at nearly 7.8 inches before beveled edge.. I really need a good lesson on what parameters i should use to determine box depth! Thanks for any help given! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sundownz Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 It would be really hard to calculate all of that -- we'd need to know exactly where the sub was mounted on the baffle face to crunch those numbers. Possibly best to ask the company that makes it as they could whip out a tape measure easily vs. a bunch of geometry. We are only at 4.5" depth so a wider magnet would fit -- but I'd say ask them to be sure.

Glovebomb Posted March 31, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 Baffle location is centered, Ive sent out an email to them for further information, thank you for your responsiveness, 1 more question! What is the recommended c/ft for sealed enclosures on these subwoofers? Looking at powering 2 of them w 1200w clean power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sundownz Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 The SD-3 10" will like 0.5 cubes each.

Glovebomb Posted May 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2015 So I've mounted the Sd-3 10"s in my truck, sound awesome, strong as hell. Just one question, what is the frequency range of these beasts? Thanks for developing such a great shallow subwoofer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sundownz Posted May 4, 2015 Report Share Posted May 4, 2015 (edited) Glad you like them! You can play up to ~200 Hz (although I usually suggest 80 Hz for subs) -- the LF extension depends on your vehicle; but anechoic F3 is around 42 hz in 0.5 cubes. In-vehicle being flat to 20 Hz or below will be very common.
