  2. trunk rattles like a mothafu**er

    in Subwoofers / Enclosures

    Posted

    Ok so I just put my 2 obsidian 12s in my trunk with my bt-120 & zx1500 wired to 2 ohms,

    My gain is only half way cause I didnt properly set my gains yet,

    From outside the car you hear it from 50ft away, at 25ft you hear nothing but rattle from my trunk, wing & rear bumper.

    I was wondering if I face them towards the front near the opening I have through my rear seats how much quieter this will get and if the rattles will stop being so bad.

  18. Best size for subwoofer

    if your budget is 400$ max than I would look at a E-12 or obsidian audio 12(if you can get it and not get raped on shipping) E-12 will run you about 110-115 shipped if you look at the right place.

    Spend the 110 on E-12 D2

    get the mb quart 1500 or a brz 1200. wire it at 4ohms not 1ohm. So you will get like 450 which is RMS for the E-12.

    250-275$ right now

    take the other 125-150

    Order good OFC 4 gauge. Knu Koncepts Kollosus flex gets my vote...or Audiotechnix OFC(oxygen free copper)

    Get enough to do your amp and the Big 3.

    Use the leftover money to get some MDF and build a box exactly to spec...a ported box. Whatever you have leftover maybe invest in a Better head unit or some better Coaxials or components.

    Just my 2cents and what I would do with 400$ ----IF this budget is exclusively for subs amps alone than I would get two e-12s a brz1200 and wire 1ohm.

    I like this idea also, but instead of just 1 12. Do either 1 15.

    Or 1 18 same wattage like obsidiian audio if you have the room. They are all just asking for 600rms

    alright. for subwoofers, you want a monoblock (1 channel) amp. in very rare cases it is better to use a bridged 2 channel. but 95% of the time, you want a monoblock

    ported boxes, when built correctly, let the woofers play better than if in a sealed box.

    clipping is the #1 killer of all speakers. i dont give a fuck if your speaker has a uranium phosphate iodine cooled voice coil. clipping will eventually fuck it up like a curb stomp.

    you dont need a bass processor.

    i'd throw away, or sell, that pyle (of shit) amp you have.

    lastly, how much money do you have to spend for subwoofers/wiring/amp/box?

    My budget is around 400$. Does the amp really make a big difference? It probably a stupid question but I have not really looked into amp reviews and such.

    Junk the amp, a mb quart would be a lot better than Pyle and a 1kw one is like 79$ off sonic

  23. about to order 2 obsidian audio 12s...any objections?

    Ok so in about a hour I plan on ordering 2 obsidian audio dvc2 12s. They will be ran off a zx1500.1

    Just trying to see if anyone is against them or has had problems with them, they will be seeing around 750rms ea.

    Not sure if I should just get the dvc4s and buy a hifonics brz1200 instead and run them at proper power?

    Pardon me for sounding like a dick but if you want obsidian audio then why do you care what others think bro? If it is something that you want then fuck what every one else thinks. :good:

    Well wanted to see if there was any known problems
