possible to do 30hz box for orion hcca 10ich tech help please

[MrSkippyJ]

but you are basing that on testing with tons of variables...

and if what you say is true, why do my 2 8s play down to 30hz without an issue? why did my 12s in my Scion play double bass drums and upright bass without issues?

It's not personal taste, it's fact. What about SQ cars with 15s in infinite baffles? I mean if only they knew that 15s couldn't play "tight" bass...

Mr Skippy, you hit the nail on the head. Alot of variables.

But you should always point someone in the right direction right off the bat. If they made a mistake, help them get out of it, before they get in over their heads.

Personally he bought the wrong sub, which now he has to test and test to find what will sound good in his application. That is what i saying in my posts.

What you're saying is correct "in those SPECIFIC applications". but if it's not the same car.....than your argument is invalid. You know as well as I do, that cars have different cabin gains. You can not compare a Scion to say a Lexus SC400.

I had an SC, that thing sucked for bass no matter what sub I used! lol. And I wasn't about to cut the metal either.

It's about variables. I agree with you. Just don't go to a show and run out and buy what you saw, do research first.

Dont buy a fitted shirt because you saw a muscle head with one, and think if you wear one it will make you look like him. lol.

If the guy at the shop said it can't play lower, he probably just wants to avoid any liability to the sub, because he is probably aware the bigger the box, the looser the cone. Makes sense to me.

but he didn't make a mistake. that sub will play down to 30 just fine. none of what you say makes any sense.

MrSkippy,

Just breezed through your F-150 build. Are you serious? Nope notch equipment with make any thing sound good. I did all the proper wiring for my gf's daughter's truck. Stinger 1/0 and 0 gauge through out. Monster cable RCAs etc. >4V RCA outputs from your unit. This guy may not have all that.

Sorry if I do not make sense, but I am a sensible guy.

Take working out for instance. If you ask me about working out in the past, I will tell you either do it right, or do not bother asking me. It's dedication, not supplements, not sets, no the weight you lift. Do it right, or do not do it at all.

When someone asks you about car audio, you may give them the answer to their question, but if you do not take the time to advise them that ALOT WENT INTO the system, not just a Walmart 2V headunit, a Shosche amp kit, and a Power Koustiz amp is not going to get the results that you did.

I still think he is building a house around a faucet........

No. There is no issue with using that sub in the way he wants. You just have some ideas in your head that are wrong.

[Deeznutz]

Nah, if he had the wallet, he would have done it right the first time. We both have the wallet to get whatever needs done...done. When someone doesn't it's best to stop them in their tracks than to keep suggesting.

Question, why did you use 2 subs in your scion and f-150 as opposed to only 1 sub?

Thanks for the advice guys!@ really appreciate it. I have a 1994 Nissan Altima with only 60k miles on it. the back seat doesn't fold down it has a metal sheet behind it and its part of the frame basicly but the armrest it the back folds down and has an opening to the trunk.

I have the hifonics brutus 2600 bxi amp that's hooked up to true 4 gauge wiring and only have a 60 amp fuse on it. I hasn't blow yet. the guy at the sub shop(whos the owner of an alpine flagship dealership(said only 6 total in US) said that my fuse would blow immediately but it hasn't!) Im ruggning at 2 ohms long story short they sent me the 2000 rms model from ebay when the ad said 1500rms) so I was thinking id be find running 2 ohms on my amp which it 1750rms and still be good on power but that's not the case now that I have the newr model.

So correct me if im wrong but I hooked the multi meter up to my amp to tune the gain and I was getting 60 volts easy on a 60hz HD test tone. and I tested some songs and was only getting the mid 40 volts so I turned it up so my songs are hitting 50-70 volts on the louder notes and 30-50 volts on the lower notes( would that be considers 1700rms then?? my amp doesn't get hot but slightly warm. It has cut out on me a few times when after testing I was throwing out 80 plus volts at 2 ohms which is suppose to be 3200 watts which makes sence why it cut out now so is that like a protechtion thing on the amp or what cause im greatful !

You dont need the wallet to have a sub do 30 hz. see this sub? i hit 25 hz with this sub. its a 50 dollar sub. WOW

this is me trying to understand things you say

[Call Me Dubstep]

a bit off topic here

but why would the specs needed be 1 cube, at 42hz ?

is that off the website? if so, id just take that driver and throw it across the street.

Can anyone confirm this, and then tell me how that would work at all for the needs of a sub woofer?

a box at 42hz at 1 cube... Is this real life...?

OP, you're not even close to calculating your wattage because you don't even have a current clamp and an o-scope to calculate the phase angle of the AC current from the AC voltage. (power factor)

You're basically throwing around pointless numbers, but if you haven't blown your 60a fuse, you're not even close to 1000 watts.

Edit: Do a search on the forum for this kind of stuff and you'll understand.
