TheBetterMethod Posted October 18, 2013 Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 Yeah, I'd raise the tuning to 40-45 and shrink the box to around 3 cubes. Play around with the tuning lots, and FLARE the PORT. 2005 Subaru Outback Wagon Pioneer 9400BH Fi Q 15, SAZ1500dV3 The first build>>> http://www.stevemead...-outback-build/ 140.9 @ 36hz Sealed on dash!

TheBetterMethod Posted October 18, 2013 Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 Okay. I'll throw this into the hat. How about 3 cubes net, one 6 inch aeroport, tuned to 45hz. Subs up, port to the driver side. A nice tall box not flat like the current one. I think you may be losing spl because you have too much port per cube. Now if you had a very small car, not so much. But in the Forester, maybe. With the aeroports you only need 10-12 square inches of port per cube. With the 8in. you have more like 20 square inches per cube. I think that causes the unloading, and reduces the output. Try just putting a 6 inch aero in there tuned to 45. See what happens. 2005 Subaru Outback Wagon Pioneer 9400BH Fi Q 15, SAZ1500dV3 The first build>>> http://www.stevemead...-outback-build/ 140.9 @ 36hz Sealed on dash!

TheBetterMethod Posted October 18, 2013 Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU So it fell apart then? That was the noise in the box wasn't it? That sucks! 2005 Subaru Outback Wagon Pioneer 9400BH Fi Q 15, SAZ1500dV3 The first build>>> http://www.stevemead...-outback-build/ 140.9 @ 36hz Sealed on dash!

SnowDrifter Posted October 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 Nope. It was the sub. Screws pulled through the top plate. That sub always made a bit of a ticking noise, but I always thought that was from the cone not being centered. And I'm having big time deja-vu right now too ~~~~~~~~SAY NO TO PHOTOBUCKET~~~~~~~~ Snow's DD-1 tracks here: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/167433-snows-dd-1-tracks/ My take on OFC vs CCA: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/110381-things-that-piss-you-off-in-the-car-audio-world/?do=findComment&comment=2461444 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBetterMethod Posted October 18, 2013 Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 Were those subs rebuilt at some point? So the threaded holes in the top plate stripped? That would be fixable. 2005 Subaru Outback Wagon Pioneer 9400BH Fi Q 15, SAZ1500dV3 The first build>>> http://www.stevemead...-outback-build/ 140.9 @ 36hz Sealed on dash!

SnowDrifter Posted October 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 I know the previous owner reconed them at some point.
