  1. that sounds about the right amount of power. but you can get SO much more for the money than w7s. just so you know. you might look into dc level 4 m1 if your looking for something at a lot better price that handles about the same amount of power as a w7. theres lots of other brands with great subs that are also cheaper and will outperform the w7 line.
  2. There is, its called a clamp meter and digital multimeter. Once you clamp the amp you will know the power the amp is making. There is now way to really tell other then that due to a speaker being a variable impedance, and with every frequency the speaker plays will result in a different amount of power being giving to the speaker. A Another words if you are 100% sure the amp is making 80watts rms at 60hz, it does not mean it is making 80wrms at 100hz, or 50hz. I wish at least the power at xx hz is consistent lol, or that they made something like a chart or something on amps and or subs that say...at this hz, this amp will make this power, and this sub will handle this power, and have it written in a way that everything just stops at a volume level of less than 1% thd and not be able to go any higher. Of course, i know that then again, all of those will vary dependant on different voltages, but i think there should be stricter regulations for specifications and ratings.
  3. That is very interesting imo Welcome to room acoustics Here is a technique I found called bass crawling: Place the sub as close as possible to where your head will be - then crawl around on the floor and see where the bass is the loudest. Then put the sub in that spot, sit down, and enjoy.
  4. well, my buddy finally got around to doing this, and he cant get the door panel off entirely, so i told him to pull the b pillar and check for wires in there. so, on the passenger rear door, he found one pair of twisted wires, but they are yellow/brn, yellow/blk. could that be the speaker wire to tag off? (I suggested it would be easier to tag by the rear door instead of pulling the radio.
  5. for some reason or other, we got it for 100 bucks a month. and yeah i know its not the fastest, but its by far the fastest ive ever had or used. All i ever use it for is fb, youtube, and browsing these forums!
  6. I just moved into my brand new townhouse and my roommate always has to have the most insane internet lol
  7. X2 on this......and i would like to add something. Get your MIDBASS game up as well. Don't rely JUST on the subwoofer That goes for all music really but that's especially true if you are listening to music where REAL INSTRUMENTS were played and not just an 808. Thanks bassick. and yeah im going to order some selenium midbass speakers and do a proper install in the doors. Thanks meade!
  8. Alright, i know the basics of box designing. My main question would be, would the amount of port area per cu ft, change how the box sounds with rock? I normally try to stay around 16 inches per cu ft of port area for regular slot ports and tune my boxes between 33 and 35 hz. The vehicle its going in is a Jeep srt8 2007. The sub is an Ascendant Audio Mayhem 12 d2. The amp will be an Audioque 2200d. I will be using Aeroports. Ive got pleanty of space to work with so dont worry about max dimensions. i am not going to build an a cu ft box for a 12 lol. If anyone has advice on tuning and port area and cu ft lmk. but every once in a while, id like to be able to play some mainstream rap.
  9. im also wondering the same thing, only with rock music...what hz to tune to.
  10. I am selling a JL audio 13tw5 subwoofer because i am looking to upgrade to an xl 12 or 15. This sub is rated at 600 watts rms The mounting depth is only 2.5 inches shallow. this sub is in 10/10 mechanical and 7/10 cosmetic. it has some shallow scratches on the front of it. and very light wear and tear on the magnet. this sub is the best thin line sub that i know of and it only requires .8 cubic foot for a 13 inch subwoofer! looking to get 275 shipped in the USA! these are the specs off jls website: http://mobile.jlaudio.com/products_subs.php?series_id=30 pics: 275 shipped to con us!! looking to possibly trade for a beefy 12 or 15 inch sub that will handle 2200 rms at 1 ohm.
  11. Thanks! vids coming soon! i still need to get a four channel amp in there and some new door speakers
