Box Rise


Daddy_

Recommended Posts

Just have a question. Say I get 2 12" and put it in a ported enclosure. What will be the box rise at the final ohm load of 0.5, 1, and 2 ohms? Is it the lower you wire your subs the more box rise you will get or will they be all around the same rise? Could give you give me a rough number of how much.

Also those constant power amps that do the same amount of power at all ohms load they do not see box rise right?

Many many factors, of which no one can "calculate".

No.

Could give you give me a rough number of how much.

This could be off as well, but, a guess, you can multiply your nominal load by 2-3. But everything, even a different song comes into play.

They don't do the "same power at ALL loads".

Like I was talking about the JL Slash, HD, and the RF BDCP amps

Most JL amps are regulated so that they put out relatively the same power across a range of loads

I thought I was going to die from all the jizz filling my ears.

I believe the JLs do the same power from 1.5 - 4. No matter what.

So will that amp have box rise?

The amp will not have box rise, no. The subs impedance will be altered due to box rise. If you wire your subs down to 1 ohm, and it rises to 2, you will still see 1000 watts. But also there's no specific way to tell how much box rise you will have. It all depends on subs, box, what car it's in, and you'll have to put a digital multi meter on it and find out for yourself.

box rise all depends on the box. but theres not much you can do about it. you can have the exact same setup, have say .75 of rise, then swap boxs, and then have maybe a .96 rise. it varies.

Its not called box rise. It's impedance rise you're referring to. No way to estimate either. Like Kyle said, too many factors to consider. Cabin gain, enclosure efficiency, orientation of enclosure in vehicle, efficiency of amp, health of electrical system etc.

If you're worried about box rise, get some your downs and strap that bitch down to the floor.

Im not the one you want to try to troll. Just a fyi for you.

If someone were to be able to figure out impedance rise, there would be no need to build different enclosures and text and tweak, tune and tweak. If it were able to be done on paper, people would design one enclosure perfectly to do everything that wanted to, but it can't be done on paper.
