  1. My First Vid

    Well, took a few short vids of my Golf out behind an abandoned warehouse.

    Here ya go....

    I'm running an Eclipse DA-6213 amp running a 15" Kicker L7 in a 4cu ft ported enclosure tuned to 32hz, Stock 90amp alternator (soon to be replaced with a 120amp version from a VR6), and gotta re-do the big 3. I added the bass knob recently so I don't have to fiddle with all the settings menus on my head unit. Hopefully I'll be adding more vids soon.

    Tell me what you guys think so far..

    helps if i didn't have to decode it. lol

    get the gear first, then worry about the box after that LOL, always with the *im gonna get this and that* Buy it build it, blow shit up with it :)

    either way, your moms van will be loud :P

    lol. well i change things because i can't decide. however, the amps i'm sure with, because it'd make more sense. and i know what subs i'm getting. just the box is a issue. but i should have things going, once i sell some stuff. :) that'll be soon.

    okay, let me rephrase that and explain......

    i will not be running kickers at all, so i do not have to worry about that. now, as for iso style, if boon will make me a box for my 4 12's, then i will not use iso. if he does not, then iso it will be. either way, i will be using 2 seperate amps. dual VC 4OHM X 4 = a 2OHM load. so if i use 2 amps, i can get a 1OHM load to each amp, pushing it full power. :) hopefully 400W to each.

    let me see how things work out with boon before i pick iso or not. either way, i will be using 2 seperate amps.

    Kicker highly does not recommend useing SOLO's in an IsO-Baric set up.

    I have long talks about it with Kicker as my original plan was 2 RF 1501BS 0n 4 L7s in iso-baric formation and they shot me down hard.

    It can be down but the Techs sayed that it usually sound pretty bad. Hence my screen name ISO I love the concept of running iso-baric.

    No you don't need 2 amps to make a push pull config you just need to know how to wire your subs.

    Sorry for the bad news.

    okay, i'm not using kicker. but the 2 amps will not runng be running them iso if boon will make me a box.

    so i thought about things, and i realized that 4 dual VC 4OHM subs will get a 2OHM load. with a mono amp, i'd get less. so with a 1600W amp (BXI1606D) i'd end up getting about 1100W. so i thought, why not just run 2 amps? so does anyone think i should run 2 Crunch PZI1000.1 amps? i think it'd be better. grant it, i don't think they put out 1K watts, but that's okay because the subwoofers only handle 600W peak and i don't want to put to much. i just think that each amp to 2 subwoofers would be a good idea. any thoughts?

  6. most excursion?

    those subs in those videos move quite a bit, but how long do you expect to play them like that? that much excursion HAS TO put a ton of stress on the woofer's components.

    as mentioned, the RE XXX subs do 54mm of ONE WAY excurion. thats over 2 inches of one way movement.

    and excursion is important when considering how "low" a subwoofer will play. the greater the excursion, the more likly it will play low(er).

    very true that excursion can tell how "low" a subwoofer can go. but idk how well that FS3 thing would perform. to me, it looks like crazy excursion, but not much bass.

    well i know some of them can detect most cops. and if a cop happens to not have one, so be it. but most of my cops aren't driving around. they sit and wait. but i saw a company called whistler or something close to that i believe. it seemed pretty good. they were higher priced, so i guess i will wait and save up and get one. but there happens to be a thing with speeding in my family, so it'd work for speeding too, not just audio.

    K. If only because it stops you trying to make a stupid iso-bandpass box.

    Maximum dimensions, vehicle, any particular requirements?

    I'm going to get on the piss bigtime tonight so it'll have to be tomorrow.

    wow. O.O okay man. umm....3 feet wide, 3 feet tall, by 3 feet long. i can go a bit higher if need be. after all, it is a minivan.

    thanks in advance man. and sorry about eariler. :give_rose::sorry:

    EDIT: it's a 2001 dodge grand caravan sport. i'm taking out the third row seats. and not low tuning. maybe 33HZ?

    What's the point in isobaric loading them? If the box sounds right with 2 subs then it'll be terrible with 4. When you isobaric a pair of subs you halve the required box volume. That's the ONLY reason you would ever do it. Ever. People only use them for tight spots like center console boxes and home theater subs when you want good low-end extension without a rediculous sized box.

    All isobaric loading is going to do for you is make your subs unload. It's like taking a 12" sub that's in a 2 cube box and plays well and sticking it in a 4 cube box. It'll be a little more efficient but it'll sound like wet shit in a paper bag because it will have no cone control.

    I get the feeling you just want to do isobaric because it sounds cool, with no idea of the technical reasoning behind it. It's a complete waste of the second 2 subs.

    alright, sorry if i sound snobby, but once again, I'M NOT DESIGNING THE BOX!!!!!!! if you wish, you can design a 4 12" slot port box design for 4 12" HFI12D4 subwoofers. i am not doing the round port. idc if that's what they tell me to do. so if you want to design me a box for 4 12's that is slot port, please do and i will use that. :aggressive:

    Just wire the 'push' subs normally and the 'pull' subs reverse polarity...

    EDIT: And don't get it wrong or hilarity ensues.

    Also isobaric sucks unless you HAVE to use it to fit in a small box.

    well, i'm not really designing my own boxes. so the box will look like this with the 2 at first. then when i get the second set, all i have to do is add them like this so it's isobaric. but i should just stick with a mono amp and just reverse the polarity on 2? that seems pretty easy.
