BMS Posted December 15, 2018 Report Posted December 15, 2018 When i have the option lets say on fi's website i can have my sub with 4 5 or 6 spiders so does that change their qms parameter or do they do something to keep it the same? Will having more spiders protect me better from accidentally bottoming out?
SnowDrifter Posted December 15, 2018 Report Posted December 15, 2018 Stiffer suspension = lower qms iirc. Been a while since I fussed with thiele small infos ~~~~~~~~SAY NO TO PHOTOBUCKET~~~~~~~~ Snow's DD-1 tracks here: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/167433-snows-dd-1-tracks/ My take on OFC vs CCA: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/110381-things-that-piss-you-off-in-the-car-audio-world/?do=findComment&comment=2461444
BMS Posted December 15, 2018 Author Report Posted December 15, 2018 i see but I have the option to add spiders and they only give me one set of t/s parameters.

BMS Posted December 15, 2018 Author Report Posted December 15, 2018 why cant i? Thats still not the main question anyway.
Kyblack76 Posted December 15, 2018 Report Posted December 15, 2018 Then yes. Changing the soft parts will change parameters. You brought up "bottoming out" they are designed to NOT happen unless your soft parts go south, and even then, the surround maintains. You cant hit the bottom plate. Unless you explode other shit. Its how they are designed But yes. Soft part adjustments will dick with parameters. You cant have a 47 player spider pack and expect same numbers from stock/OEM. Make sense now?

will77530 Posted December 15, 2018 Report Posted December 15, 2018 Adding spiders really comes down to your enclosure if you have a box that’s a bit bigger than recommended then add or if your run more power than rated in a recommended box add spiders keep in mind any change you make to the sub changes everything

The extra spiders should improve mechanical power handling of the sub but in the process all sub t/s parameters will change leaving you with subs with unknown performance, ideally fi would give you the correct t/s parameters for the custom sub, with them you can see if the sub is still useful for your application, if they don't give you anything you are on your own with the new subs. Honestly, proper system design is what will protect you the most from any mishap, get the most cone area for your space and subs rated that match your amp and then design a proper box and use your subsonic filter. Also, research well your purchases don't buy just to see what happens or because stuff is on sale.
