chud Posted April 15, 2010 Report Share Posted April 15, 2010 The new XXX subs are better suited to home theater use. They need huge sealed enclosures and don't perform well at all in small to medium sized ported enclosures. You can't fix stupid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STEvil Posted April 16, 2010 Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 put it in 20 cubic feet tuned to 10hz, you'll scare yourself. MickyMcD - "Capable of making some serious trouser flapping volumes at where's-my-testicles frequencies, the Servo-Drives used to be fairly jaw dropping..." Any time you have have a power wire next to your frame put some rubber hosing (or cut up an innertube) around it. The wire is bound to wiggle (due to driving or flex) and the casing will eventually wear through. Hammerdown... 1% no links to outside websites, business related FB/YT pages allowed.
