Fish Chris Posted September 9, 2011 Report Posted September 9, 2011 what's the deal on the excursion of your mids and / or mid-bass drivers, relating to the SPL's in your cab, caused by the subwoofers ? Here's why I ask... I noticed that my mid-bass drivers closest to my sub woofer ports, were jumping a LOT father that the two farther away.... So I disconnected the mid-bass drivers altogether, and guess what ? The two closest to the ports will still bouncing like crazy ! And even the two farther away from the ports were moving some. Heck, for that matter, the mids in my doors are probably bouncing from the sub woofer sound pressure as well. So how does this effect SQ ? Could the SPL's from your subs alone, damge your other speakers ??? And geeez ! What about in a truck like Steves ?!?! I could imagine him over driving mids (bottoming them out) when they were not even hooked up to power ! Probably just thinking more than I need to again. Freaking OCD Peace, Fish Quote

OrionStang Posted September 9, 2011 Report Posted September 9, 2011 If you got the subs turned up loud enough to flex the mids, you won't notice a sound quality difference. As far as damage, it's possible but doubtful. Quote SMD Super Seller My Feedback Thread

BackwoodsBumper Posted September 9, 2011 Report Posted September 9, 2011 Yes they do that's why you neeed to make sealed enclosures (pods) for them. I knew a guyhitting a 160 that didnt use them and blew 4 door speakers from pressure buildup. I say if you're over 145db you need to invest in speaker enclosures or seal ur doors.

KillaCam Posted September 9, 2011 Report Posted September 9, 2011 Passive Radiator Hes not talking about a passive radiator, hes saying that his subs are causing his mid drivers to move. They arn't even in the same enclosure.

Fish Chris Posted September 9, 2011 Author Report Posted September 9, 2011 Yea', so I suppose if Steve isn't blowing his mids with sub woofer pressure, this probably is not an issue for any of us "mere mortals" to worry about LOL Nonetheless, it was an eye opener to see how much my mid-bass drivers were jumping, from the sub sound pressure, yet so little, under their own power (I'm only running them down to about 80hz). Hmmmm.... Fish Quote
