Neo_frog Posted November 23, 2008 Report Share Posted November 23, 2008 The specs say for a ported enclosure, the 10" Fi BL needs .5 - 1.2... If I did eight of them on a wall, I seriously only need 9.6 cu.? That sounds ridiculous. It would almost be hard to build that small! And do they really take 1000W RMS?

Neo_frog Posted November 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2008 I figured. But does anybody know the 'real-life' application? These numbers just don't work. Quote Need an install?

Forevrbumpn Posted November 23, 2008 Report Share Posted November 23, 2008 Id go larger, for SPL maybe 1.5- 2cf each, and a large port? 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.

AI James Posted November 23, 2008 Report Share Posted November 23, 2008 if your looking at only giving them 1k each id throw them in 1.75 cubes per driver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missinglink Posted November 23, 2008 Report Share Posted November 23, 2008 I would say 1.5 to 2 per. Smaller boxes need more power to push them. 1000 watts you should go for box size effiency. I will ask Scott tomorrow what he thinks a good # for the power should be. For best answer I ask the sub designer FTW. MLA Quote missinglinkaudio The United States Marine Corps.

Neo_frog Posted November 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2008 (edited) if your looking at only giving them 1k each id throw them in 1.75 cubes per driver Ok...that sounds like a better number. With that, I'm gonna build it about 16cu internal before port and drivers. I haven't been up to speed to calculate port tuning, but I would have max front face port dimensions of 12x12. I want to tune to 33hZ. Could someone point me in the right direction for port tuning? Edited November 23, 2008 by Neo_frog Quote Need an install? Hit me up.[email protected]Got car audio questions?

Neo_frog Posted November 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2008 Here's what i came up with: 16cu. and 15x15x22.5 port I guess I could reduce to 12x12x12, but I apparently wouldn't have enough port area. I don't think this will work...I need to make the box bigger. I just don't want to sacrifice sound for the box to work. I gotta make it about 20cu at least before displacement for proper fit... But each sub would get 2.5 with that. Reason is, my front face must be 36x36 for all subs to fire forward. Quote Need an install? Hit me up.[email protected]Got car audio questions?
