  3. need opinions level 4 10s

    If you have the proper space in the trunk to do four then go ahead. As long as the box is the proper size and is well built, it should sound fine either way. As for Lanzar amps I just feel that they are pretty low quality. My experience with them through my customers who use them has not been good. A lot of people run them though and they seem to work fine for most people. Just seems to me like you are buying some really nice quality subs and skimping out on the amp. That's just my two cents though.

    I would personally use 2 12s over 4 10s. Mainly for the fact that you won't have to double your power.

  13. Need some TS specs.

    Hey guys when I am getting back from college I am building a box for two custom built DC Level 2 8s. I was just wondering if anyone new of the ts parameters for them. I know that these won't have the same parameters as the originals, but they should be close enough. They are no longer on DC's website, and I can't seem to find them anywhere else. Kind of wanted to know so that I could properly check the port velocity that I would be seeing.

    If I can't find them, would you guys think that a 4in octo would be okay? Just going to be 2 8's on about 600 watts. I am asking because I just used the TS specs from the M3-8, and according to WINISD, I will be seeing 145 ft/sec port velocity with 2 8s in a 1.5 cube box with a 4 inch aero. That can't be right?

    Thanks,

    Sawyer

    TL = TermLab

    TermLab measures decibels (which is what I think you want).

    If you could fit an 18 PROPERLY with the recommended airspace, port area, and tuning.. id go for more cone area.

    However, if the 18 is in an undersized box, being choked on port area.. the 15 would most likely be louder.

    You should do some reading :good:

    Yes, this is what I want.

    I'm wondering in optimally sized boxes, how much more extra output the 18 is able to put out over the 15.

    For me, both subs will be undersized. Think 16'' cube for the 15'' and 19'' cube for the 18''. I know it is not optimal, but size is pretty important. I'll try to mitigate as many problems as I can by throwing power and using EQ.

    If you are planning on running either sub in an undersized box you will probably be dissapointed. If you can't fit a 15 properly then I would just go for a 12. It is one of those things that you are spending more money for a sub that is built capable to reach a higher output, but if you don't supply it with what it needs to reach that output then you are just wasting your money and potentially harming your equipment. Do some reading. Do a lot of measuring. See what you can practically fit, and go from there.

    Also if by EQ you mean boosting the lower frequencies. You need to be very careful. It is very easy to introduce clipping, and you can easily fry your woofers.

    Also like stated above, this site has a clear rule about vs. threads. Good potential this is going to get locked up by a mod.

    Sorry I am just now posting again. One thing that I was meaning to tell you was that as far as the Rockfords go, I would have to buy Sundowns over them after this price increase. $360 for a set of T2s is just over the top for me for the quality compared to other stuff like Hertz, Audison, and stuff like that. One thing I didn't mention was that I listen to a LOT of mainly old rock music, so I like my tweets to be pretty bright. I personally like what a lot of people call a little harsh with the music I listen too.

    I have a set running in my old Volvo on a Sundown Sax-100.2. I like them, and they are good Sundown quality, they do look kind of plain though. Sure not for someone who likes a flashy install. The main thing that I have to say about them is that mine just seemed liked they had something missing. I guess they just seemed hollow is the best way to put it. It might be my own fault in the way they are installed (in about .2 cube boxes). They are nice and smooth, and they sound good, just like I said they seem kind of hollow to me compared to my T2 Rockfords.
