How much power to put out with this amp / sub combo?
STEvil replied to parker6594's topic in Amplifiers
520+520 = 1040. 1050-1040 = 10. There is 10 watts of rated difference. Impedence curve is the only other thing thats going to influence whether bridged or separate will be different, but it wont mean much. -

2ch 2ohm 520w is near identical to 4ohm bridged 1050. Either way you can push the gain too far. -
Better start building it, i'm a few steps past you already edit - The bottom mounted spider is already patented.. wish more companies would pick up the tech since a single spider location is horrible for linearity..

Called a bass tunnel. there is no real "tuning" for them beyond getting the enclosure to the size you want (either for SPL or SQL), but you can do things to make the tunnel act differently allowing for different rolloffs..

sub next to internal port mouth = loading issue.

from what I understand the SXX's are just SX's with a slightly larger motor, bit better ventilation, and flat wound coils.. 12 cubes is small but i'd do it

Whats the best 12"-13" Sub for 4th order bandpass
STEvil replied to Rich65's topic in Subwoofers / Enclosures
just because something isnt 100% built to be perfect at one thing doesnt mean it cant work great at that thing, even better than some that are built for that. but you know everything so whatever. -
You cant weld magnets. wrap and fiberglass it, or wrap and epoxy coat if you want it more permanent.
-
Internal sheet braces would help. basically some flat iron on edge welded to the sheet in X pattern... along with threaded rod. It can be done in other words, but you wont have any weight savings over mdf/plywood and the bracing is going to hurt internal airflow against the sides of the box. I think you'd have better luck making a carbon fiber box.

Never rely on box rise for daily.

spray wd40 anywhere you dont want it to stick, or something oily.. maybe some pam.

same motor as the HK18's I think.. they took 5K RMS like champs.. for burps.. 10K clipped was not healthy though lol. edit - recone from fi or whoever will fit them as well I believe.

Getting a More Poweful Amp than speakers can handle. question
STEvil replied to adreano17's topic in Amplifiers
using a larger amp will not remove voltage drops. If anything it can make them worse. that said more is better if done right. -
They wall fine, just not as well as others is all. Plus 1500 is a bit much for L7's.
-
depends what you have for power. They love big boxes and eat up power. You might want to add a spider hold-down as they can reach maximum excursion levels and lift a spider ring.. at least my HK18's managed to lol
-
just build a fairly large ported box.. all of the specs are pretty much junk. What did you pay for that 15 and does it have the same motor as the HK18x1's? I'm trying to find a 4th motor to match my other 3 18's that I already have.

Why you need big electrical to run at less than rated impedance
STEvil replied to runner800's topic in Amplifiers
yes i am aware that the rise is different among the different frequencies just not too sure so thanks for imput. i guess i can't give you exact numbers. for my instal it works and it was a huge difference going from 1 ohm nominal to .5 ohm nominal with no observed bad effects on amp or sound quality. amp still runs cool. i guess my post is just touching the surface. how would impedence drop below sepeakers nominal load? if lets say speakers are wired at 1 ohm. how would the amp ever see less than this? never heard of that? anyone else know a thing or 2 about impedence drop? Impedence can be influenced by either excursion or playing below tuning frequency (thus causing more excursion). -
Along with the previous 168 threads.

let alone when impedance drops below nominal. -
