White Lightning Posted May 8, 2013 Report Share Posted May 8, 2013 Sound Quality = Bass up front with the stage and image ... and should have the effect that there is no subwoofer, just definate low end presence ... Now with that said ... Center Console = sub down or forward and port forward and if possible, as close to the dash as possible, possibly firing into the under section of the dash ... tuned in the low 20s and if you are after TRUE Sound Quality ... One of those 8s should be sufficient in that center console on true class A/B power at 4 or 8 ohms mono. Its all about clarity, deffinition, dynamics, and headroom ... not raw output power. just my suggestion, hope this helps ...

ToNasty Posted May 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2013 I thought about using 2 of these instead of the 8s because with the way my dash area is and the size of the box, I might get port noise http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?partnumber=264-919 ***Super Sellers List***http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/25829-super-sellers-buyers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Lightning Posted May 10, 2013 Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 Nice Drivers ... Never used or heard them My thoughts (and this is just me from my presonal experience) ... Use the largest cone area driver you can get and run that will not "pull" your stage back when slightly tuned to higher frequiencies to try and "match" the mid bass drivers ... My 4 10s Isoberic setup is notorious about this, which is why we normally tune my subs around 40 to 50 htz during Sound Quality Competitions ... This is primarily the reason why you see most competitor cars using nothing larger than a 10" driver. Multiple smaller drivers work too, but needs ALOT of tuning. Larger subs (12s, 15s, and 18s) WILL WORK in Sound Quality, but requires ALOT of tuning. Most people say that sub bass will not pull your stage back ... trust me, I know they will say this. But if you set in and listen to extreme Sound Quality vehicles Like Mark Eldridge, Todd Crowder, and Scott Buwalda, you will understand what I'm talking about ...

White Lightning Posted May 10, 2013 Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 If you already have them ...

ToNasty Posted May 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 now why does the tuning need to be so low? I was figuring about 37-38 htz ***Super Sellers List***http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/25829-super-sellers-buyers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Lightning Posted May 10, 2013 Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 You might be better off flipping your subs to where the magnets are on the outside and maybe do fully external ports. Might make the enclosure smaller to work with ... Just a suggestion ... Kenwood / HELIX / Linear Power (For The Love Of Music) / Brutal Sounds / OverKill Electric Co Questions About Sound Quality ??
