  4. need a box design for a Single sealed 12 HT box

    in SQ - SOUND QUALITY

    Posted · Edited by Gavinvoy

    I have that amp, and it just doesn't put out the power you want sealed

    in a ported box, you may get better output, but even free air you will only get about 1/4" of excursion if that.

    I got lucky with that amp and a 18" I made that just had super soft suspension.

    But bottom line, that set up, I would do ported, and tune it low

    do you have the grounding issue with the amp?

    ill keep that in mind.

    fixed link.

    hello SMD im in need of a design.

    i want to do a single 12 in a sealed box. its going to be for a home theater project. Its gonna fit a single 12 infinity kappa perfect and a dayton 240 watt amp. Sub needs about 1 cube and the amp displacement is 8.5 x 8.5 x ???

    not sure on the depth, parts express says its 5 inches deep, but not sure if that is the whole item (heat sink fins and all) here is the one im looking at : http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?Partnumber=300-804

    i would like to do a down fire with the plate amp on the back.

    thanks.

    i tried to use this stuff, suppose to give a rubber like texture. i applied it to the bottom but it didn't seem to work out, i dont know. taped it off cause i only wanted it on the bottom.

    then i hit it with a can of rustolium (?) texture paint, its pretty sweet. may03lt did it, it was sweet on his, so i decided to do it. i think i did ok for the first time using a spray can.

    fits like a glove :D

    kinda a strange request dont you think?

    you dont usually associate good music with a rear stage, and yet you have a rear stage and in addition you want to run more rear stage?

    i have no experience with this kind of thing, but it seems like every extra speaker ive seen has been in a sealed box. but at the same time, i thought that speakers were mostly free air. i know some people have said that they have less low end response when they put their speakers into door pods cause they are taking free air speakers and enclosing them.

    i dont know what you drive, but is a kick pannel speaker enclosure from qlogic or some customs ones available? or fiberglassing the rear portion of your door for some regular sized speakers?

    Honestly I've never run a 'vanilla' CMoy. They're so simple that I've always gone the whole hog and done buffered output ones with discrete rail splitters and blah blah the list goes on :P

    Yes, they sound very good for what they are and what they cost.

    any idea's on a portable amp? links?

    probably going with the denon 2000 or the AKG's

    Im looking really hard at the AKG's they look really nice, and have some good reviews (pretty much all i can go on). plus just found that they are owned by harmon international (harmon/kardon, JBL, Infinity, Mark Levinston, ....)

    as for the Cmoy. doing a little research (cause school is a pain right now, last 3 weeks always are) look pretty neat. not really sure what to look for. checked out ebay under "cMoy" found a few, seems to be mostly by one dude for the mint can looking ones. do you know if they are any good?

    here is one:

    i personally dont run monster wire, i have their RCA's, but only cause i had a friend who worked at circuit city at the time. i also have a pair of the turbine in ear headphones, i was a product tester, i totally lied on my resume, hehe.
