PinkFreud65 Posted March 19, 2016 Report Posted March 19, 2016 Correct me if I'm wrong here, but just because there is more surface area, does not mean there are lower notes being hit. Like saying a single 10 is louder than a single 15. So, having a square woofer with "more surface area" won't give OP "lower notes." I don't KNOW this to be fact, but it makes sense to me. Any input?

More cone area from a square sub doesn't make it handle lower notes better. Again, square subs was a gimmic. Its called tuning and power capabilities at that tuning. And stuff like cabin space and many other things play a factor. 2 Team Fi 15's v1 2 DD M5's 970amps of Alt 6th order blowthroughThe truck Blowthrough build : http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/155555-smooves-1996-chevy-ext-cab-c1500-slow-build/The 350z build : http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/170694-smooves-2003-nissan-350z/ My FB page https://www.facebook.com/pages/Smooves-Car-Audio-and-performance/719746144805343 Team Fi Audio http://www.ficaraudio.com/
PinkFreud65 Posted March 19, 2016 Report Posted March 19, 2016 Yeah. That's my point though...I think the "15s and 18s are the only way to get good lows" theory is a bit widespread and rampant. The surface area of the speaker really has little; if anything, to do with the "low notes." Regardless of being a square, a hexagon, or a balbis. Shape and surface area seem to be a mythical fix to getting the lows.
Bayuk89 Posted March 19, 2016 Report Posted March 19, 2016 Virtually NO ONE plays with square subs. They are a joke IMO thats why you see everyone with 15" 18" in comps with round subs..... Square subs are an odd out of the box idea and good luck if you need to recone one.
ShadeTreeMechanic Posted March 19, 2016 Report Posted March 19, 2016 If you want loud lows then cone area can get you there. 91 C350 Centurion conversion ( Four Door One Ton Bronco) 250A Alternator (Second Alternator Coming Soon) G65 AGM Up Front / Two G31 AGM in Back Pioneer 80PRS CT Sounds AT125.2 / CT Sounds 6.5 Strato Pro component Front Stage CT Sounds AT125.2 / Lanzar Pro 8" coax w/compression horn tweeter Rear Fill FSD 5000D 1/2 ohm (SoundQubed 7k Coming Soon) Two HDS315 Four Qubes Each 34hz (Two HDC3.118 and New Box Coming Soon)
Broke_Audio_Addict Posted March 19, 2016 Report Posted March 19, 2016 Let's all remember that loud is a relative term, when someone says they want it loud they mean their opinion of loud which could be a lot quieter than what most of us around here would call loud. Now that being said if you want to do 150+ dbs at 30 hz and under then you for sure are going to need lots of cone area and tons of power. 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.
audiofanaticz Posted March 19, 2016 Report Posted March 19, 2016 i can only do 147s at 20hz.. need to tear out that fail build!
audiofanaticz Posted March 19, 2016 Report Posted March 19, 2016 Oddly enough though I got some kicker l7s new in box waiting on this enclosure.. and people say no one plays with square subs.. pfffft
