I understand wattage will have many factors. But again. lets say I have a song thats hard to hear with a -0db tune. And then I tune at -5db and the song is much louder, what makes the the song louder? Is it wattage? is it the gains up higher running clean at -5db with some distortion and clipping at -0db?
Based on the Xmax of the sub and recommended box volume for 15 that takes a crap load of power. http://www.carstereo.com/help/Articles.cfm?id=31 Not saying a smaller box would fail, the subs just might not perform as well. If I were you I'd hit up CJ and see what he says.
You are gonna want more cubes per sub and double the port for the design your trying to do. I am doing something similar with 2 SP4 15's and my cut out will be 48." x 17.75". How much power are you gonna run?
Number 2 is the bomb. Orion used to do lots of non PC fun shirts like that back in the early 90's. I was hoping to hit the order button on it right now. I also like 3 & 5
I have an SD-2 10 D2 in a sealed box on an RF P500.2. I play stuff like decaf to drowning pooling and I love the sub. Very impressed for it being a shallow mount sub.
So lets use an RF 1000bd with a D2 sub wired to 1ohm what kind of wattage difference would be seen when tuning with a DD-1?
would -10db be like 1000w ?
would -5db be like 950w ?
would -0db be like 900w ?
As CleanSierra has pointed out, not all subs are created equal. Based on some boxes I have done in my GM ext cab. Sub up/port back (box as center console) and sub up/port side (box on ext cab bench). sub up/port up didnt sound as good.
What did you use to come up with your box size and numbers?
Real question is, of your not looking to play decaf and stupid lows. Why are you looking at an X series instead of an SA or a Z?? Sundown has different levels of subs, you cant just pick one because it sounds cool.
I suck at math, so I didnt do the home work. I am following these vids and thread until the light bulb in my head goes on. I do like how he is making this practical.
What about "brand X" oversized CCA 5243 higher strand count vs 1/0 ofc? Really I don't wanna see this thread drug out more, but where does oversized CCA fit in here?
