  4. need to be louder than my last setup

    in Subwoofers / Enclosures

    Posted

    Plus you'd have the WOW factor of a 21" subwoofer, and it would kill the lows if the enclosure is right :)

    Why would a 21 have anything to do with lows?

    It is a stigma people have with bigger woofers, they assume the bigger the woofer, the louder lower notes get. While typically true it is for a completely different reason. Which is partially caused by mechanical advantage/disadvantage. :drinks: Just enjoy bass!

    i liked the AQ's but i want to try something different now, they really didnt hit the lows as hard as i would of liked, i dont have enough air space for 2 18's in a proper box.

    i think im over analyzing this anyway, its been like 5 months since ive had any bass, so to be honest even if the DP 21 is just as loud, i would still be impressed because to be honest i dont really remember how loud my old system was.

    According to your max dimensions you have about 13^3ft of airspace not subtracting bracing, woofers, and porting. That is more than enough for 2 - Fi BL 18's which need between 5-10^3ft of airspace. I would say try and make it work. INSANE Cone area, or go with the DP 21 as I am a fan of them.

    Do a wall with 2 Fi BL 18's They will match closely to your amp and get way loud, if you have funds for more power I would suggest pretty much any good brand 18's, DC, DD, AA, Fi, and more! But then your looking at atleast 1 of your amps for each of those woofers. :) Keep us informed.

    P.S. Remember the enclosure matters far more than the woofer, I have seen the smallest woofer have tremendous output in the perfect enclosure. Design is key!

  8. 1200 watt amp

    in Want To Buy

    Posted

    In need of a good 1200 watt amp or 2200 watt or anything in between for decent price ranging around 300-400 thanks!

    Got mine for sale

    That's what I meant by mine but wasn't so forward ;):drinks:

  12. Want to build 1000w 2ohm front stage

    in Mid's and highs

    Posted · Edited by JustinWilson

    A resistor is a no-no. Either power them at four ohms, or buy another set and wire them to two. no resistors.

    Why not use resistors to achieve the correct ohm load?

    My plan was to wire 4 - 4ohm speakers into a 1ohm load then use a resistor to bring the resistance up to 2ohms at the amplifier channel.

  16. Want to build 1000w 2ohm front stage

    in Mid's and highs

    Posted

    Hi there, I want to run a 1000 watt true rms front stage (Mids and Highs). I have a Rockford Fosgate T1000-4, T600-4, and T400-4. I only plan to use the T1000-4 for this build and the others only if needed.

    Please give me suggestions for high quality mids/highs that can be wired into multiple 2ohm loads to match each channel on my amp. Another option is to suggest mids/highs that can be wired into 1ohm loads and I can match inline resistors to meet my 2ohm load requirement.

    Thanks.

  22. Musical difference in firing forward sealed from trunk?

    in Subwoofers / Enclosures

    Posted

    windows up firing forward sucks imo, I like back much much more

    Why's that? Essentially, isn't that what a walled of car is? A box firing forward into the cabin, totally sealed off from the rear?

    because you are trying to pressurize a huge ass area with generally 2 12s or 2 15s, which is pretty hard to do, now if there was a loading wall where the rear seats were, it wouldnt be an issue

    firing forward sounds better, because of less rattle, but you need something to load off of, i tested this today, and yes, while it sounded cleaner, less rattle, it wasnt as loud as firing off the driver side and sub facing the drivers side...

    I had my T2's firing in the cabin walled off and I liked it but it is WAY louder with my new box...if you did something like Thor though you will have different results...

  25. Wiring Second Battery

    yea you dont have to run a neg from the front. just carfully ground the batts to the frame. also "USE FUSES" 16" from the front bat to the back etc..

    You are right that you dont have to, but If you plan on running a lot of power I recommend connecting batteries in parallel. Seriously, if you are going big, just do it right the first time.

    I agree if everything is close together. Like that back portion after the Duralast. Also dont cheap out, buy some nice welding cable or power wire 1/0. Dont worry about making a knot with the wire. www.weldingsupply.com <-- good prices

    Agreed, My amp grounds to my rear battery are no longer than 24 inches. Keep that in mind as well. I run Monster Cable 400series 1/0. Not as flexible as other brands but it is all copper. As Kian was saying flexibility isnt always the goal of buying wire.
