basshead69 Posted November 26, 2008 Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 Hello Everyone. Here are some pics of my new subwoofer box. This box is tuned at 38hz and has a net of 3.5 Cu ft. It also has 55 inches of port area. This box sounds really good and plays low. We did a test on the TL. It did a 145.8 sealed on the dash at 47 hz, and 148.4 on the floor at 51 hz. My old box did the same as this one during this evening's testing. The floor numbers are down approximately 1.6 db from my usual 150 db. I think that it is due to the weather being cold and I could stand to have a little more battery power. Overall, I am very pleased with the sound and performance of this new enclosure.

Fish Chris Posted November 26, 2008 Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 Very nice. 3.5 cubes ? I'm going to guess 12"s huh ? Those are some BIG numbers there ! Congrats. I've never heard of VFL American Bass subs. Have you used any others in competition ? How do these compare ? Think I'll go research them now. Peace, Fish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightshade Posted November 26, 2008 Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 They're 12's. Derrick824 from the forum here built the box for him. Derrick's got some skillz cause that box looks killer. I'm sure once he gets his other amp in there the number is going to shoot up there.

Peace, Fish I have used American Bass For quite a while now. The VFL's are dual 2 ohm 1500 watts rms subwoofers. The motor structure consist of double stacked 110 oz magnets I believe. This box can really make those subs move. I have to be careful on some of the music I play. It will bottom out on some of the lower notes if it is too loud.

If close to 4000 watts @ half ohm doesn't tear them to shreds on a burp, then it will definitely go up. I could stand to have a bit more battery power as well.

Fish Chris Posted November 26, 2008 Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 Hey Basshead69, I tried to research these subs a little bit last night, but couldn't find much. Even the ones I did find were listed as 4 ohm dual voice coils... which wouldn't work for me, but you say yours are 2 ohm dvc's ? Do they make these same subs in a 2 ohm dvc 15" ? Any place you could suggest to find more info on these subs, plus possibly buy ? Oh, and one more thing; Obviously your into the SPL aspect (which is cool... so am I to a certain degree) but how would you rate these subs in the SQ department ? Thanks, Fish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
