xXsquintyeyesXx Posted May 2, 2011 Report Share Posted May 2, 2011 Ok, so I know that having my hatch open on my car will damage my subs but willdriving with my windows down or parked with my doors open also have the same effect? I just wanna make sure of these things so I do ot blow them again after the cartridge comes in and I install it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EclipseChris Posted May 2, 2011 Report Share Posted May 2, 2011 My car is loudest with my driver door open. There's very little chance of blowing subs with a door open. Just stay away from going too too much lower than tuning. Quote i resolve to be a nicer moderator. Tercel build R.I.P. Eclipse build Old New V-Dub My feedback.

Why would you EVER WANT flex?huh?...flex is what can make the lows lower and more air being pushed correct?

hdorre Posted May 2, 2011 Report Share Posted May 2, 2011 (edited) playing with your hatch open will not damage that subs from my understanding, It can, but many times won't. Here's a quote from Ed Lester- "Yes, opening the hatch can damage woofers. Depends on your enclosure and car, but the enclosure and car work together, and when you change the airspace on one of those, you totally change how it is tuned and plays. Most of the time, opening a hatch or trunk releases any possibly back pressure on the woofer cone that would normally help control woofer excursion. Box tuning gets raised, and if you play a low note at any decently high power setting, it can damage the woofers. Why do you think it sounds different when you open the hatch?" http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/107538-why-did-it-blow/page__p__1497512__fromsearch__1#entry1497512 why would having your hatch open damage the subs?

xXsquintyeyesXx Posted May 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2011 People on this site and the owner of the carshop that installed these told me that. They all said it has to do with air space and that playing subs at a high level with the hatch open will let to much air be sucked into the port and the hatch bounces soundwaves back and keeps the sub from "overexcursion".

xXsquintyeyesXx Posted May 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2011 Hdorre that quote was from my other post that I was talking about peoplesaying it does effect the subs. But will the windows being open while I'm driving and playing it loud have any effect on them? And playing loud with a door open effect them any?

hdorre Posted May 2, 2011 Report Share Posted May 2, 2011 With your setup/car, I doubt it'd harm anything (if I'm thinking about this correctly) Quote On 5/8/2011 at 7:38 PM, Kranny said: On 5/8/2011 at 7:35 PM, 'Maxim' said: It hurts me inside when I read stuff like this and remember you're 15 LMFAO so true Mitsubishi 3000GT (Old Build) Headunit: Pioneer 80PRS Frontstage: (2) McLaren Audio MLT-2 Tweeters & (4) PRV Audio MR Series Neo 6.5" Mids Substage: 4 15" Hybrid Subs - Tantric Motors & Sundown Softies Amps: Banda 2.4D Amp (Tweets), American Bass VFL 350.4 (Mids), and (2) Ampere 3800s Electrical :Singer 260A Alt & JY Power Lithium 2005 Chevy Colorado Ext Cab Headunit: Pioneer 80PRS Frontstage: 4 PRV 700Ti Tweets & 6 10" Delta Mids on 3000wrms Substage: 6 Fi BTL 18s in a 4th Order Walkthrough on 3 Wolfram 4500s Electrical: Singer "390" and JY Power My Official Feedback Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-train-13k Posted May 2, 2011 Report Share Posted May 2, 2011 i play with my widows down all the time. though ive heard that if your system gets louder when you open the windows that you need more port. but other than that i dont think leaving your windows down with the subs playing loud will cause them to unload. plus as your driving the wind is causing preassure to come inside your car.
