ClassicChevy71_C/10 Posted October 27, 2013 Report Share Posted October 27, 2013 Hi all! I have a couple questions. first question: I have two subs. one is an Eclipse SW6123.4, and it will reproduce bass fine, except it rattles (metallic rattling). the noise is coming from under the spider. any ideas as to what it is or how to fix it? ok, next question: the other sub is a DB Drive PLT12D. it plays fine, but when pushing on the cone, about halfway down it runs into a stiff spot and gets hard to push. Now what is that? also, it says 1500 watts on the bottom, but idk if thats rms or peak? im bench testing these on a steel bench, and the Eclipse will play like normal when you hold it up off the bench, but the DB Drive one wont vibrate as much. Any ideas on that one? another question: the amp i have is a Bazooka CSA300.1, says 500 watts. is that rms or peak? would it be sufficient in powering either of these? Last question: what sizee box would you recommend for these two (not together, single). would a 24 cubic-foot box be ridiculous for a single 12"? would it sound good, would the sound get lost in there? what? heres the deal why i dont know anything about these: my aunt works at a storage unit rental place, and one of the customers wouldnt pay his bill, so my aunt cleaned out his unit and gave me all his stuff for free, and there was all kinds of wiring ends and adapters and speakers and a box with brand-new Eclipse tweeters, and the amp and those two subs. Any help is appreciated. Thanks! - 1971 C/10 - 250 I/6, NP435, manual everything, old farm truck, single family owned.

hazestorm23 Posted October 28, 2013 Report Share Posted October 28, 2013 The eclipse will probably give out soon and the db drive would eventually . I would just scrap both and get something cheap but decent if your not doing anything special like competitions. And 24 Cu ft is a lot just as an example most 12s use average 2 Cu ft per sub. As far as the amp goes the 500 watts is most likely peak. At most maybe 200 watts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClassicChevy71_C/10 Posted November 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2013 thanks for the help. but, you didnt answer my second-to-last question. you say that the area is a lot, but would the sound be ok, would it dissapate and never be heard, or would it be extremely loud? - 1971 C/10 - 250 I/6, NP435, manual everything, old farm truck, single family owned.

timc31610 Posted November 7, 2013 Report Share Posted November 7, 2013 My guess is it would not be very loud, that much space would be similar to a free air or infinite baffle install at best. If that good.
