memphisBred Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 Just finished up my pass door panel and put in my Rainbow 3 way setup in the panels. Went to get some supplies and the mids were moving way too much when I had the bass going. Is this from the pressure in the cabin pushing on the front of the cones, air leaks behind the panel, or a combo of both? Any tips to fix this problem? Thanks.

aN-i-No Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 (edited) Probably not from pressure seeing as how all these guys doing 155+db aren't having the same problem. Are you SURE your crossovers are set correctly? Maybe you set it to low pass instead of high? EDIT: I just noticed how big awesome as fuck your setup is. But still I would check the crossovers.

SnowDrifter Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 What happens if you turn the subs off/down all the way?

CDetty Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 Maybe the spider and surround on the comps aren't very stiff so the pressure is moving them, but when you hook up the speakers, the motor force will counter it perfectly fine?

Ddub847 Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 ummm isnt your midbass in an enclosure? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
memphisBred Posted August 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 The speakers are moving exactly with the subs. Interested to see if the issue is fixed or reduced when hooked up and playing music. And they move the most when the pass window is open.

memphisBred Posted August 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 The speakers are Rainbow three ways. The 6.5" midrange is in the upper part of the fiberglassed door pod, the 6.5" mid bass in the lower part of the pod. There is an opening in the original skin of the door panel to fiberglass/strengthen the pack part of the pod. There are openings in the door frame where second skin will cover up. And there is an opening where the stock speaker goes letting air in between the panel and door.

aN-i-No Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 Speakers are not hooked up Well damn then...looks like it may be the pressure. I wonder if the speaker playing under its on motor force will be enough to overcome that. I would hook it up test it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
memphisBred Posted August 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 I have 10 sq ft of damplifier arriving tomorrow gonna seal the door from the panel tomorrow and see what that does.
