Are my subs acting like passive radiators?

Okay so I made a couple small vids of my subs moving and got a lot of feedback stating that the movement looked wrong. After reviewing, I too became skeptical. How do I go about diagnosing this?

Each coil reads .8 (quad 1 coils)

Final load is 1.2

9v test showed each sub moving the same directiong

You know why people are ass holes online but not in person? Because getting punched in the mouth hurts.

my guess is that you did a series parallel wireing job (going by ur final impedence) so with you wireing some subs to series the movement is reversed and there could be your problem

also it could just be the camera

if you could find out the fram rate of your camera you could play a note that matches it and you will see if your subs are actually moving out of sequence

aka if it has a frame rate of 60 per sec play a 60hz test tone

So, someone is telling you your subs look wrong based on a video where they had to rely on frame rate?

I always judge if subs are in phase while they play >30hz on a 30hz video....

Krakin, are you some sort of mad scientist?

I would have replied earlier, but I was measuring the output of my amp with a yardstick . . .

What you hear is not the air pressure variation in itself

but what has drawn your attention

in the two streams of superimposed air pressure variations at your eardrums

An acoustic event has dimensions of Time, Tone, Loudness and Space

Everyone learns to render the 3-dimensional localization of sound based on the individual shape of their ears,

thus no formula can achieve a definite effect for every listener.
