It is fairly common for people to exceed recommended enclosure size to boost output of a subwoofer. However, you do run the risk of exceeding the subs mechanical limit and causing serious damage. The more power you run to a subwoofer, the smaller the enclosure must be to keep the cone under control. Since you will be running these subs under rated power, you should be ok making the enclosure slightly larger than recommended and be fine, plus you will see a decent rise in output over the same setup in a smaller box.

Level 4 DC box help
Wasteland_Audio replied to 97burbalade's topic in DC Sound Lab - Big Bass on ANOTHER LEVEL!
33hz will be fine for that. I personally tune in the high 20s but i listen to nothing but bass boosted/decaf music in the low to mid 20hz range. As long as you try to avoid super low music it'll be cool. -
Level 4 DC box help
Wasteland_Audio replied to 97burbalade's topic in DC Sound Lab - Big Bass on ANOTHER LEVEL!
It wouldn't hurt anything or even change the tuning much narrowing it an inch, so no problems there. I did notice that we never discussed your desired tuning tho. Right now the design is tuned to 33hz. If you want it lower than that I can redesign the enclosure and if you want it higher just take an inch or two off the length. -
I've been running a stock autozone belt for almost a year now with a mechman 370 and it still looks fine. It's about an inch shorter than stock and the tensioner pully is pretty much maxed and still not a whole lot of wear. I honestly wouldn't worry about it, and if you are still concerned just get one of those green belts from napa, they're more expensive but last twice as long.

DC Level 6 M2/M3 Recone
Wasteland_Audio replied to Wasteland_Audio's topic in DC Sound Lab - Big Bass on ANOTHER LEVEL!
The M4 has the new machined basket tho right? Both mine have the old 6 spoke basket that you can buy anywhere. Would that mean that they are both M2s? yours could still be m3 motors. post picks and we can go from there. regardless you will have to upgrade to the new basket Ok well i'll be pulling them out tomorrow and i'll post some pics. -

So it finally happened, I popped one of my subs. While I was looking for a recone i noticed that Droppin Hz only sells M1, M2, and M4 kits. When i went to make sure of which one i had i noticed that i may just have one M2 and one M3. Here is a picture of my original order, when i received the subs, one was a dual 2 ohm and one was a dual 1 ohm. I notified sonic electronics and they told me that the subs had been discontinued shortly after i had placed my order. Thankfully they contacted DC and they were awesome enough to build me the discontinued model i needed to match the current one i had. Now notice on the second pic, it clearly states that it is the M3 model, where as the original order says M2. I guess my main questions are one, can anyone make sence of this? Two, how do i tell which is which? And three, will an M3 model accept an M2 recone?

Dc amps woth the cost?
Wasteland_Audio replied to Sleezyk's topic in DC Sound Lab - Big Bass on ANOTHER LEVEL!
A DC 2k is worth that much because it actually puts out a true 2000 watts rms at 12.6 volts, which amps that are half the price do not. Look trough enough build logs, the amount of people running DC amps should speak for the quality of these amps. -

No problem, and it's right around 32hz. make it a little longer if you want it lower.
