beaker Posted June 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 lol! that was more of a joke. I wonder how 4 8's would sound isobaric. Is birch lighter than MDF? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Socky Posted June 18, 2012 Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 birch is lighter and stronger.

aN-i-No Posted June 18, 2012 Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 birch is lighter and stronger. Lighter and Stiffer. Less dense. OP, since you're not going the cone area route you're going to want LOTS of xmax to play down that low. If you want the response to be smooth you also have to figure out where your cabin gain is the strongest and try to level that out, otherwise it'll seem like your box is off (you may get a 3db gain at 35 hz for example, when your box was designed to have a flat response.). Oh and wtf are you playing that gets down to 20 hz, just out of curiosity. I have a 200+ playlist of songs that are sub 30hz but I made/altered most of them myself.

beaker Posted June 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 Not much, but I've found the response curve to be less peaky the lower its tuned. That and I can say that I CAN. MUHAHAHA! I'll throw a 10 in there sealed and see what the cabin gain is like, I really think I'm just going to port it through the back seat. The SA8 is the only 8 I've seen that MAY fit the mold for what I'm trying to do. I wonder if I used half inch birch and glassed the hell out of it if it would be lighter/stronger than 3/4 MDF. I'm working on integrating a car computer I designed and built into it, but thats another thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
