why is 2 type r louder than 2 obsidian.


Recommended Posts

Ok first. THIS IS NO A VS THREAD JUST READ

So I have two obsidian 12s on a zx1500.1 wired at 2 ohms. Box is 32hz it is in a 98 grand prix 4 door

A friend has 2 gray alpine type r 12s on a Kenwood 1800 wired at 1 ohm in a ported box now sure what its tuned at but I know its a prefab from best buy. It is in a Hyundai Tiburon in the trunk with the seats up

His car is noticeably louder and can be heard from 5x the distance away mine can on the same song.

Any reasons why this is...its pissing me off

Box is 3.5cu tuned at 31.8hz sealed off from the trunk. 14sqft of Dynamat on the Rear deck top & bottom. Soon to be more for doors/roof. Gets low & loud

Did a 140.5 Sealed at Battle of the boom in June 2013 dropping to 12.7v (need a alt mines going bad)

It's a prefab, so it's tuned high, so meaning it's a cheap burp box, which do tend to be loud but sound like absolute shit.

Be glad your box probably sounds better, and probably kills the lows better.

There are SO many variables that can cause these things to happen its not funny... The type of car impacts it somewhat to

And you are really judging performance by distance you can hear the song?

Tell me...does this smell like chloroform to you?

Yea my box does kill the lows. That's the difference and sounds good on just about every song
