Hey,
Been a bit.... where is my old OG peeps. Whats everyone been up to.... good, bad, the other...
Cheers, and hope all are well.

Not an OG in audio or the forums but I'm still at it. Daily 62's. Building a new sixth order right now in my Escalade. I remember I made a post saying trunk 150s when I first got on here hahahaha. Trunk 50's easy these days. Still having fun.

That took a turn fast...

Took you as more of a Chevy guy haha. Nice ass truck Meade. Nice truck indeed.

Deaf Bonce and SMD go good together.

Deaf Bonce is amazing equipment, team and customer service. Big ups to Deaf Bonce!!!

After an unfortunate mishap with my CES alt .I got it back and reinstalled yesterday...Also deleted the under hood battery...Voltage is staying higher and more stable...Plus it bounces back faster after playing full tilt
What are you running for electrical?
Edit. Limitless 45ah. How's it hold up during long demos on the Ampere 3.8k? What's the lowest you've seen?

30,000 watts RMS = around 2,200 amps of current. 8 runs should do it... Right? Lol

Well my car performed well for its maiden voyage at the TDH show this past weekend...I. brought home 4 1st places and 3 2nd places in multiple orgs...Only had an hour of testing on the TL prior to the show appearance. I am definitely happy with how it turned out...The car has more in it just have to get some meter time and dial it in more
What'd you meter? (Edit) just seen your score... Not bad... Not bad at all.

Level 5 would be the one.

Holey baffles Batman!! Lol. Nice

You'll widen your bandwidth but you'll need a lot of power. I'd say a 6k @.5 or two 4.k's @1ohm minimal. Invert subs also or you chance cooling issues. They'll sound great. Do it to it dog.

6 kicker 15's on a big purple US amps surfboard in 1996 (Junior high school year) in a c-pillar wall in a new suburban.... First tap out was 8 kicker solo X's in an astro van at ces 2018 in Vegas on either 8 or 16 kicker 2400's in a 4th order. Wasn't ready for rebassed Bon Jovi!! Been hooked since.

You can always shrink it down if you don't like the outcome or output. Give it a shot..I bet you nail it.

Ok one last thing. If these subs require 80sq in of port area as a pair then would that apply the same to the port on the 4th? I've seen a lot of setups with big window port openings at like 12 x 20.for example. Should I still make sure its 80sq in of area or just make it as large as it needs to be tuned at 45hz? There is obviously no port walls needed but the opening size is what I am referring to. I hope I am explaining this correct.
70-80in² would work just fine. Port won't be long either due to higher tuning. Some people like to play with stackable ports to dial it in which is a good idea. This will be pretty straight forward. Not hard to build either. Even a bigger Port area on 4th orders is ok. Maybe... 90+in or so

See what I mean by bigger ratio is peakier? That's a 2.5:1 ratio. If you go 2:1.0 ratio it'd be less peaky. You'll get lows with the fourth without a doubt. The orange plotted enclosure is dead nuts and I wouldn't build a box tuned any less than 31hz. You just simply don't have to with zv5 subs. They play Lows tuned at 32 and 33 Hz no problem. the upper range of the 4th order is the whole point of building a 4th order. You'll be loud and play low. A lot lower than that graph is showing. That's just a general idea and other factors come into play. For the most part tho that is a pretty good indicator of your enclosure peak. You get the Lows from the sealed side so as long as you have sufficient power they will be there.

2.5 sealed total.

Thank you sir. Would it be beneficial to the low end by increasing the sealed size per sub without raising the chance in damaging the subs because of over excursion?
You'd be hard pressed to bottom these out in a 4th order lol. It'd take around 3000 watts per sub and some low lows to reach xmax on these.

Tune to around 44hz on your ported side and go with 2.5 sealed 5 ported for a nice 30hz total bandwidth. Like triticum said, you should model your enclosure with some design software. 4th orders are pretty straight forward. The bigger the ratio the peakier it'll be. The smaller the ratio the flatter the response. 2:1 usually yields a pretty desirable output. Feed the beasts! Good clean power. These subs sound great in 4th and 6th orders.

1.0ft³-1.25ft³ sealed per driver. After that however big you want your ratio is on you. I'd do 2.25ft³ sealed and 4.5ft³ ported personally. 6.75ft ported max for a 2:1.0- 3:1.0 ratio.

If it we're me I'd set the gain on one amp without it being strapped then I'd strap the amps together and not mess with anything. The slave amp automatically falls in line with the master. I've heard that a weaker slave amp is bad because the master can cause the slave to clip. Seems a little extreme to me but it makes sense. It'd be nice if all amps came with a birth sheet haha. Just food for thought.

yes. would be a little more power with 2x 12’s. but the 15’s get that low low bass. i love the low frequency rumble.
12's play lows. I have 4 in a Navi and they get just as low as my zv5 15 does. Go with Sundown tho for the low lows. Haha. EMF had a good you tube video about subs with the mega-roll surrounds and how they actually displace more air due to the significantly taller cone. Make no mistake about it, 12s will play the Lows if you tuned correctly.
Trying to identify Sundown sub to order correct recone kit
in Sundown Audio - GREAT Amps/Subs! GREAT Customer Service!

That's a zv4 rev 1 with the OG mega roll surround. Get with DTX ( Directronix) for an up to date recone with mega roll V2. That sub uses a true D2 8 layer coil. I believe there is a high BL coil available as well but those coils are very similar if I'm not mistaken. That's a potent driver with the right soft parts.
