Hotdog Posted June 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 I think I will build a box tomorrow then... I want that low end. Originally I thought I was not getting the low end because I did not have a power series sub.. that it had something to do with the size of the magnet on the sub... So is the size of the magnet on the sub kinda determine the RMS wattage?

So is the size of the magnet on the sub kinda determine the RMS wattage? Excuse me if some of the questions seem stupid the size of the magnet usually comes into play with how much power the subwoofer can handle. but its usually all apart of eachother...meaning that the voice coil, spider system (little riggity things that look like ruffles chips), surround, and motor assembly come into play in how much power a sub can handle. if you look at, lets say a sony xplod. notice how the magnet is decently small, and its kinda soft when pressing down on the cone. and if you take, lets say an Fi BTL (big difference i know). but the magnet weighs the same or a little more of what the xplod weighs all together. people have told me that if you try to press down on the btl's cone with all your might, that it barely moves. all of that...and its pretty easy to spot how much power a sub can take just by looking at it.

Rogers Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 not exactly... it all kinda just falls hand in hand... normally the more powerhandling the larger the magnet...... but in your case i believe its just box tuning.... if ive said it once ive said it a million times... the enclosure will make or break a system....

Hotdog Posted June 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 (edited) I try not to push or pull on anything too hard.. it usually breaks. One draw back to power lifting. Broke a head bolt off in one of my cars before.. pain in the butt to have to drill it out and re-thread it. (before I knew about easy outs) The FI BTL sub magnet looks a lot bigger then a Sony Xplod sub.. At least the one I have sitting in my garage. I would love to get a FI BTL.. but that would require a lot more upgrades.... I happy with a little bump right now. eventually I would like to go to car shows again, those were always fun. and to get to see all the talent 1st hand was awesome.

Hotdog Posted June 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 (edited) How is this for a Box... The Idea was to have it snug against the sides so it wont slide back and forth.

Hotdog Posted June 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 (edited) One last question.. before I start to build Rockford Fosgate Site has a recommended ported enclosure of 1.79 Rec. Vented Enclosure 1.79 cu. ft. (50.69 liters) If I make the enclosure 2.0cu.ft. Per sub will it have an adverse effect on the subs since it is not within specs.. or would 2.0 be alright. Or is it still all in the tuning?

Or is it still all in the tuning? going over the recommended box size is perfectly fine. it wont have any adverse effects on the sub. im running a 10" type R in a 2.0cuft box (twice over what alpine recommends) but it still sounds very nice.
