Skar Audio IVX *V2* Subwoofer Information
Dillan Turvold replied to skaraudio's topic in SKAR AUDIO - (READ ONLY ARCHIVE)
They are completely different subwoofers, so while at a quick glance some things may look the same, many are very different as well - both are designed to meet different goals! what is the goal of the ivx woofer? -
What is this? A ninja pic to spark up discussion

ehm, magnet caps? -
I have a '03 malibu that I bought 6 or 7 months ago, it's been running great at 150k miles I did an oil change and coolant flush etc for it, however recently the transmission has slipped a couple times but only when I'm revving really high as in around 4-5k rpm's (normal operating rpm's stay from 1-3k even when accelerating), how big of a problem is this and how much should I be worried? I've had quotes of $2-3k to have the tranny replaced but I could probably replace it myself -I talked with a person about it and he said there's a device that a tranny shop can put in there to help reduce the problem and slow down the wear and tear

Got my new car. Now how to get my subs in...
Dillan Turvold replied to BobbyG2's topic in Subwoofers / Enclosures
If you're going to build it inside the trunk and air space is a huge issue for you, you could build a box which conforms to the trunk itself w/ a port facing forward.. just an idea -

I build a large dual 2.1 cu.ft. 12" sub box and I couldn't quite fit it through the trunk opening, so I took the top of the back seats off and slid it in through the front, maybe u could do the same? -nvm I didn't look closely enough at ur measurements my bad~ -
sounds great i love crescendo, post some progress report pics bro!

33hz is good daily tuning, I like tuning lower for certain music but it only seems to turn out well for certain songs you know.. 33hz should be good, then get some cheap midbass drivers for the cabin and ur set on the low end

everything this brilliant man as said~ +1. Also after you buy it the first time, you keep it for a life time for whatever you might find a use for. And Manards is a wonderful place to shop for tools as well, they carry the real shit not shitty walmart brand tools.

I did some hobo style cutouts on mine with a jigsaw: took a string, measured it out to the cutout of my subs, tied it around a pencil and bam. there's a circle on my board. just follow the line close as you can, if you're really picky you can just sand it a bit, no biggy

I think he's just asking the acoustics of the vehicle.. a buddy of mine has a malibu that i believe is an 04 or 05, they're virtually identical to the impala's, his acoustics aren't too bad and it's well sealed so yes it gets loud to the ear, but idk about spl numbers I've never been to a competition. I have an 03 malibu which the interior basically cancels out my midbass (85-120hz) a bit too much compared to his malibu, but it is still sealed well and does get the low notes loud.. so... loud: to the ear yes, spl I'm not sure; sq 50~50. imo. edit: with enough cash and the know-how you can build yourself a nice system in any vehicle like these guys were discussing up there^

I found the answer to my question in this thread as I took apart the sub... it was actually a very unnoticeable tear in the spider that I couldn't see until I actually took the sub apart.. thanks to everyone for your input though~

OP check coil resistance, report abnormalities. not to thread jack , but say you have a sub and you can see the voice coil is black as nite, but it reads good on the ohms , should a guy be leery of said sub ? the black color is just from a chemical reaction that takes place when electricity passes through the coil i think.. it's a residue from the oxygen mixing with the chemicals in the voice coil when they get heated.. as long as the voice coil seems in tact other than the color, I think it's fine (I'm not the most educated person on the subject, perhaps you could open a thread to get a more professional answer...)
