jrowdon Posted March 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2011 You have indeed exposed your newbieness. If you have to ask something like this then putting 6 10's in a car is probably not a good starting point. Do you have the subs? Do you have the amps? If you're going to do something like that, you should probably invest in a head unit with an actual subwoofer channel. Subs and amps are on the way, HU is an old one I had lying around. Finding a decent HU with a sub channel is pretty hard here in Belgium. I have to go to Germany half the time... About using 10"... Yeah, I'm trying to make something that looks, sounds and feels great and I've never used 10" subs. I custom make cases for friends and i'm always trying new stuff. Using a ten inch sub is not what I'm referring to. Why would you use 6 10 inch subs? I'm surprised no one else has anything to say here... The more, the merrier? I dunno, just feel like it really. It would be a shame to waste all that space in the car... Besides, my friends kind of challenge me to go bigger, better, ... bla...bla...bla... So i say: " Why not!?" and about 3 weeks later i finish the build... They always love my builds. Quote Where I come from we have a saying: Bass moet je niet horen, die moet je voelen.

rusty959 Posted March 11, 2011 Report Share Posted March 11, 2011 just making sure you know... based on the fact your last build was 4 subs on a 4 channel, and now 6 subs on 3 2 channels... (6 channels total) you do know you could have accomplished the same thing with one 1 channel amp powering all the subs which would potentially have been cheaper/higher power/smaller footprint instead of a single channel per sub? This might be a better way of saying what carroot said. What subs/amps did you get?

Kranny Posted March 11, 2011 Report Share Posted March 11, 2011 On my last build I had 4 12" subs hooked up to a 4-channel amp. Sounded great, felt even better! (I loved all the complaints from the neighbors.) That was in my last car. Now I have a smaller car with less build space. I think I got the wiring covered, just cracking my head about splitting the RCA... i seriously hope your mentality changes. we fucking HATE people who enjoy pissing off people. (not directing at you) but this is why all these audio laws are taking into effect because there are irresponsible asshole-ish kids going around blasting music. and by the way, 4 channels are basically made for mids and highs speakers, not subwoofers. monoblocks are designed for subwoofers. use only monoblocks for subwoofers and ONLY monoblocks. just making sure you know... based on the fact your last build was 4 subs on a 4 channel, and now 6 subs on 3 2 channels...

This might be a better way of saying what carroot said. What subs/amps did you get? basically this. First of all: I know my last build wasn't perfect, it was my first build and I was new to everything. Second: I want to reduce the noise and increase the feel. When I go to raves, everyone in the parking lot has really bad quality bass... It sickens me! You're not supposed to hear bass, you have to feel it. That's why I joined this forum. I need help to get the most out of my system. So please don't go round hating people, show them how it should be done.

Could you make a diagram? Quote Where I come from we have a saying: Bass moet je niet horen, die moet je voelen. It Means: You shouldn't hear bass, you should feel it.

Kranny Posted March 11, 2011 Report Share Posted March 11, 2011 are the subwoofers single voice coil or dual voice coil 4 ohm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
