Jeff4661 Posted November 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2014 I dont have any enclosure answers. People like Terry, Mike, Ray are fucking magic....... i gave up trying to understand.....I understand the enclosures basics ... I won't say I'm a pro but I am far from a noob.. in order to get the most out of a driver you have to put it in a proper box. Those alpine bass lines recommend 1.9cubic foot per sub in a ported box. So ideally 1.9*8 =15.2 cubic foot for the box... I think I will build it 15cubes even..

Don't wanna lose mechanical control and blow ur shit up... My original plan was just to do it and If I blow one up.. I'll just buy another one... How much smaller u think how does 1.5 cubes a sub Current build 05 Yukon SLT http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/195350-jeffs-05-yukong-wall-build/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broke_Audio_Addict Posted November 23, 2014 Report Share Posted November 23, 2014 Doesn't matter how much you shrink it I seriously doubt a $50 subs is going to take double rated power, there is more to it than mechanical control. That being said a lot of people's definition of "music" is a clipped 30 hz sine wave with some 80 IQ knuckle head grunting about committing crimes and his genitals.

Motorboat KER Posted November 23, 2014 Report Share Posted November 23, 2014 If you are set on giving more than double rated power, couldnt you just use smaller speaker wire to constrict the amount of power they can carry? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd need to use some TINY wire then. Even so, it'd get hot.. Sure, the a lower ac current flow rating added with resistance from the heat will limit power transfer..

Even with a peak of 750 watts?

hispls Posted November 23, 2014 Report Share Posted November 23, 2014 I only read the first page. My 2 cents though Why spend $500 on several subs when you can get one good 15-18 for $500 or less used? Could even pick up something that could use a recone for cheaper then of course recone it. 1-2k rms on a used 15-18" sub is reasonable, would get loud and sound great. My thoughts exactly. Or assuming OP has 500$ to invest in equipment just buy a better amp. By the time you make junk loud you're spending more in wood/box building than you would to just make 1 good sub loud.
