IH8PunkRok Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 subs are much larger and heavier thereby designed to play low notes easier. the amount of power it takes to move a subs cone quickly enough for vocals is too much for the amount the sub is moving. therefore the coil will burn due to lack of cooling because the cone doesnt move enough. plus it sounds like ass Quote -Matt2005 Dodge Magnum RTJVC KD-AVX1 2 PPI S580.2 Obsidian Audio ST1 Horn Tweeters PRV 8MB450s Audio Legion 3500.1D 2 RE MT 18s 360 ah LiFePO4 BatterySHCA 2/0 155.2 @ 29 hzKicker CVR 15's buildDD 3512e buildMini T-Line Build(6) 8s BuildNightshade 15s Wall BuildMagnum AB XFL 12s BuildNewest Magnum Build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

E a r t h Posted November 2, 2008 Report Share Posted November 2, 2008 My question to your friend would be,....Why would you want to allow vocals to play through the subs? defeats the purpose of the application Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tacomabanga1986 Posted November 2, 2008 Report Share Posted November 2, 2008 i think 8's are as big of a sub that will be able to handle vocals but still has to be playin bass to, just words wont work right, i got my 8's set on low pass but when i set em to flat they play vocals n bass just fine but if u cross em over to high it sounds like pure ass, only reason not to is like he stated cone moveing really slow creates backpressure in the former n alows air to flow threw but when just vocals(no bass) is played they will over heat, but most ppl will look at selinums thinkin there subs but there pa mids that dont move no more than 4mm period so there good for vocals, but if u play vocals and bass threw subs over 10'' the diff tones all over the place will make it work to hard n burn up, it will try to play low,mid, n high bass notes were its only susposto play low bass around 150htz down, so i wouldn't risk it thats what they got mids n highs for Quote here's a link to my system 99 toyota tacoma , 2 mtx 8000 1504's in a sealed downfire , 1000w memphis amp here's a link to my other system my 90 geo prizm test car heres a thread i got of new songs u can dl that are legal = Some Good Bangage/you Can Dl These Free And Legit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boon Posted November 6, 2008 Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 Way too much moving mass = sounds like shit. Size and excursion have nothing to do with it. Have you guys ever seen a 15" PA 'woofer' (probably playing up to like 1.5khz at least) A lot of it is to do with the moving mass relative to the strength of the motor... Quote 10.x volts fo' life!

Forevrbumpn Posted November 6, 2008 Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 the technical reason , is the voice coil acts as a natural cross over, the voice coil is an inductor, just like in a passive cross over, they are rated not just in Ohms, but in Milihenries, the higher the number in mH, the lower the frequency response and the weight of the cone is another factor, but even if the weight of the cone was 1 gram, it will still have that natural 6db slope, or whatever it is but the coil, and the MMS kind of work together on this, in there own ways Quote I have a ritual called "terminator". I crouch in the shower in the "naked terminator" pose. With eyes closed I crouch for a minute and visualize either Arnie or the guy from the 2nd movie. I then start to hum the T2 theme. Slowly I rise to a standing position and open my eyes. It helps me get through my day. The only problem is if the shower curtain sticks to my terminator leg. It sorta ruins the fantasy.
