Ben G. Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 Hey I have 3 10" woofers and I am in the process of refoaming them. They are JL dub0's They sound nice and hit pretty hard. I'm just curious if i add my 2 JL IB4-10"s will it make it any louder..I know it will make the displacement bigger and I will be moving more air. Therefor you would think i would be louder but will it be noticable. Someone told me it would be a wast of my time because it would only give me like 2-5db maybe if i'm lucky...IDK? Give me your feedback. Thanks alot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baaudio Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 You could add the other two just put them in a seperate chamber/ box. If you had enough power to them you would notice a difference Quote Team NWSPL baaudio Build Log 2001 GMC Sierra walkthrough 4 Mechman Elite 370s, 10 AGM batteries, 3 Crossfire XS v2 18s, Crossfire 8k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baaudio Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 And also if you go ported vs sealed. Ported will have a lower output Quote Team NWSPL baaudio Build Log 2001 GMC Sierra walkthrough 4 Mechman Elite 370s, 10 AGM batteries, 3 Crossfire XS v2 18s, Crossfire 8k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mlstrass Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 Firstly, do NOT listen to baaudio If you have room for a ported box, that would in theory give you 2-3dB's more with the same subs/power. You would easily be able to hear that increase... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben G. Posted March 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 If they are not the same subs I would not suggest mixing subs, despite they are the same brand. Why? There is no harm in putting different subs together? What would be wrong with that? They are almost the exact same sub....Diff mags and a little different motor. Same foam, same cone, and same kind of basket. Almost same kind of coil too. Just The dub0's i have are 10.39ohms and the 10IB4's are 7.20ohms. And i like this because only running the W0's would give me like a 4ohm load and when i throw in the 2 IB4's It brings it down to a 2.5ohm load...Perfect for a daily bump.

Ben G. Posted March 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 (edited) Firstly, do NOT listen to baaudio If you have room for a ported box, that would in theory give you 2-3dB's more with the same subs/power. You would easily be able to hear that increase... You really think it would be a great noticeable difference? And also baaudio might be rite. They are really low wattage subs, and they are real OLD-SKOOL JL subs.I was planing on making a big box For all 5 woofers.Baaudio may have a good point. JL woofers sometimes only sound good in sealed...IMO...I have put my JL 12"s in a sealed and ported and they liked the sealed way better,and they also sounded alot better in the sealed. Maybe not as loud but sounded nice at high levels. Edited March 12, 2010 by Ben G. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's the problem right there mixing subs (different ohm loads) As far as adding the other 2 make a different box and you'll see a volume increase may not be much but an increase is an increase.
