"BOX RISE" is there a way to control it?????


Recommended Posts

Someone above talked above using RF constant power amps which would help with rise, then others talked about dropping OHM load to combat it as well.

I am running 2 RF sub amps that are rated at 2500 RMS watts @2 OHMs (stable to 1 ohm)......so does this mean I will see more rise due to running at 2 ohm instead of 1 ohm OR since they are constant power amps it will minutely affect it?

Honestly, I'm not real concerned about box rise, and I admit i know virtually nothing about it, but I am curious for my scenario exactly what the outcome could/would be for rise. make sense?

Thanks in advance

The constant power amps do rated at both 1 and 2 ohms. Wiring down to 1ohms could gain a slight amount if power but it won't be a whole lot. If you can wire down to 1ohm for the slight increase in power and it might lower the box rise but I can't say that for sure

NP, kind of what i thought. I am running them at 2 ohm because although rated down to 1 ohm I *think* they are more efficient at 2 ohms? Percent wise i mean, etc.? But i could be wrong, or possibly draw less power? Again could be wrong, lol

DO NOT WORRY ABOUT "IMPEDANCE RISE" FOR A MUSIC OR DAILY SYSTEM.

THE SUB HAS A NATURAL RISE AT ITS REAONANT FREQUENCY EVEN WHILE IT IS NOT IN A BOX, BUT IT IS NOT SOMETHING YOU NEED TO ADJUST FOR OR WORRY ABOUT.

BUILD A BOX BASED ON THE SUB AND FREQUENCY RESPONSE DESIRED, THEN SELECT A SUBWOOFER WITH THE CORRECT IMPEDANCE TO MATCH THE AMP YOU PLAN TO USE.

IF YOU WANT MORE POWER, BUY A BIGGER AMP.

I wish there was a clearer way to say it, but I guess there is not since it has been said a million times.

Current system:

1997 Blazer - (4) Customer Fi NEO subs with (8) American Bass Elite 2800.1s

Previous systems:

2000 Suburban - (4) BTL 15's and (4) IA 40.1's = 157.7 dB at 37 Hz.

1992 Astro Van - (6) BTL 15's and (6) IA 40.1's = 159.7 dB at 43 Hz.

It was not directed at you. It just comes up over and over and it just does not matter.
