528hz Posted January 30, 2010 Report Share Posted January 30, 2010 Hey Nick, Scott... Will you guys do custom coils other than dual 1 or 2 ohm subs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

528hz Posted January 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2010 what would you need a dual 4 or something for? Yeah, probably a dual 4. I need 3 of them, so a 2.67 dcr or closest to 2 is what I need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

528hz Posted January 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2010 I was/am considering this option as well, but I think I'd rather be extra safe than not. I run a Stetsom 4k2d, and these are going into a bandpass. Stetsoms can be so particular on reactive loads I just don't know if I want to chance it. The fact that they will be in a sealed chamber which will yield less rise than a ported box is what makes me nervous. I've never run FI's so I'm not too familiar with how much they actually will rise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fact that a sealed box "controls" the excursion more so than a ported box "can" usually result in less heat generated by the coil and former. HEAT causes rise. Of course all these variables including power given and cooling of the sub play important roles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E a r t h Posted February 1, 2010 Report Share Posted February 1, 2010 why are you worried about rise, this is intended for daily right? i done understand why people get caught up with rise, just wire it up using nominal loads and be done with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tristan560 Posted February 1, 2010 Report Share Posted February 1, 2010 Ive been running my 4k2d at 1.5 daily for months now. edit...1.5 DCR not nominal. <u>99 Jimmy SLT 4WD</u> Systemless. <u>99 Grand Prix GTP</u> DC XL 12 on 1.5k tuned lowwwwww.

528hz Posted February 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2010 why are you worried about rise, this is intended for daily right? i done understand why people get caught up with rise, just wire it up using nominal loads and be done with it Stetsom amps are known to be sensitive to ohm and voltage loads depending on the model. Normally, you're NOT supposed to factor rise into a daily setup, hence my concern about DCR and not nominal. Ive been running my 4k2d at 1.5 daily for months now.edit...1.5 DCR not nominal. That's great to hear. I'll try to get dual 1.5s... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
