Subwoofer Close to Wall is this a problem?

Back in my day the rule of thumb was you needed 1/2 the diameter of your woofer distance from the back of your enclosure. So if you had a 12" sun you needed at least 6" between the back of the magnet and the wall of the enclosure.

Then again we paid $1+ a watt too

Rolex you sicken me.

Haha that's interesting. Never heard of that before. If that was the case on this woofer it'd be a weird as box

Lol and 1$ a watt. That's rediculous, my saz 3500 would cost 3.5 grand whattt

Very true!

Given there were no 3500W amps then.

Back then great amps were made in the good ole USA with gold traces and very high quality parts.

I still have a Fosgate Punch200 that I bought from a friend. Pretty sure the list price for it in 1993 was $649...for a ~500W amp.

Speaking of, that bad boy is going in my build soon!

I miss amps like that......

cool thats good to know. I enjoy building tiny boxes for customers but tight areas get tricky!

Small boxes tuned low are always interesting.

That box had some TINY tolerances for everything to fit! :good:

Yup. Only 1.6 net and tuned to 30hz gets tight!

Hahh mines 1.0 tuned to 27 :good:
