crazyfrazz09 Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 i had 2 of the jl 12w0 single 4 ohm subs back in the day, and i put them in a large seald box and they did pound! i had people in the back seat of my jeep and they had to have me turn it down. no its was no 20,000 watts or any thing huge but it sounded great especially considering i paid $99 a sub! i still think about if i would have got 4 of them and ran them at 1 ohm what the out come would have been..... but the theory says i would have only gaind 3 db. so is it worth it to put yourself in a higher class (if you compete) just to get 3 db? probably not, but if its street use i guess it has a bling factor....

alvitae Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 1. WHO THE HELL ARE YOU TO TELL SOMEONE NOT TO LISTEN TO SOMEONE ELSE? 2. I'm sure he can make up his own damn mind. So a sealed box has more output? Damn. I've been doing it wrong this whole time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben G. Posted March 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 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. Why is it a bad thing to run 2 different ohm woofers together? They are all svc woofers so they will be baby chained together and adding the 2ib4's to the W0's will just give it less resistance.

Ya man I couldn't agree with you any more. The tripple JL W0's sounded amazing..I was just thinking it would be kinda kool to have 5 tens in the back of my S-10 when i get it!!!!!

baaudio 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... All I was saying is that a ported box will hit lower frequencys. My bad that I didn't make that clear. I realize my mistake there.

czman30 Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 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. Lmao yes there is a problem with mixing subs thats a very bad thing Quote Introduce a no fat chicks in the whip rule.

baaudio Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 It doesn't bother me getting called out on my errors. Mlstrass made a good point. But I was right with what I said I just worded it wrong 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...
Red-navi-916 Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 can you mix and match subs? yes you can but they have to be wired up differently from the other two off brands. would i do it? fuck no ifi was you i would see which ones i like better make a nice box(get one built) and use two that are the same Quote BUILDLOG http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/ind...showtopic=61862 "98crewcab"Never a POS....just always "a work in progress" lol that's how we roll bitches!!!
