manofthehour Posted April 18, 2010 Report Share Posted April 18, 2010 Ok so my friend wants to do this crazy set up and doesn't even know how to do it lol. He described it as a 8", 10", 12", and 15" subwoofer in a box (all in different chambers of course) and he wants to make the 8" play the higher low notes (like 500Hz-300Hz?) and the 10" to play 300Hz-150Hz and the 12" to play 150Hz-50Hz and the 15" to play 50Hz-0Hz. Something like that. And he wants to know how the heck to set this up. I told him I'd ask the people at SMD to see what they would come up with. I was thinking he'd need a separate amp and equalizers but I'm really not sure. And let's go with a $5K budget. Hopefully I covered the bases lol. Let me know if I needed to give more info.

hdorre Posted April 18, 2010 Report Share Posted April 18, 2010 He'd need either four enclosures or one Four chambered enclosure. He would also need 4 amps (one per sub.) Electrical upgrades wouldn't be a bad idea depending on the amps Quote On 5/8/2011 at 7:38 PM, Kranny said: On 5/8/2011 at 7:35 PM, 'Maxim' said: It hurts me inside when I read stuff like this and remember you're 15 LMFAO so true Mitsubishi 3000GT (Old Build) Headunit: Pioneer 80PRS Frontstage: (2) McLaren Audio MLT-2 Tweeters & (4) PRV Audio MR Series Neo 6.5" Mids Substage: 4 15" Hybrid Subs - Tantric Motors & Sundown Softies Amps: Banda 2.4D Amp (Tweets), American Bass VFL 350.4 (Mids), and (2) Ampere 3800s Electrical :Singer 260A Alt & JY Power Lithium 2005 Chevy Colorado Ext Cab Headunit: Pioneer 80PRS Frontstage: 4 PRV 700Ti Tweets & 6 10" Delta Mids on 3000wrms Substage: 6 Fi BTL 18s in a 4th Order Walkthrough on 3 Wolfram 4500s Electrical: Singer "390" and JY Power My Official Feedback Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hdorre Posted April 18, 2010 Report Share Posted April 18, 2010 The subs probably would need different amounts of power so I can't think of anything. Actually, maybe two four channel amps. Usually the first two channels have their own cross over and the third and fourth have a seperate crossover. You could wire the subs to different impedences (ohm loads) to achieve your rated power. It probably sounds really complicated but it's really not Quote On 5/8/2011 at 7:38 PM, Kranny said: On 5/8/2011 at 7:35 PM, 'Maxim' said: It hurts me inside when I read stuff like this and remember you're 15 LMFAO so true Mitsubishi 3000GT (Old Build) Headunit: Pioneer 80PRS Frontstage: (2) McLaren Audio MLT-2 Tweeters & (4) PRV Audio MR Series Neo 6.5" Mids Substage: 4 15" Hybrid Subs - Tantric Motors & Sundown Softies Amps: Banda 2.4D Amp (Tweets), American Bass VFL 350.4 (Mids), and (2) Ampere 3800s Electrical :Singer 260A Alt & JY Power Lithium 2005 Chevy Colorado Ext Cab Headunit: Pioneer 80PRS Frontstage: 4 PRV 700Ti Tweets & 6 10" Delta Mids on 3000wrms Substage: 6 Fi BTL 18s in a 4th Order Walkthrough on 3 Wolfram 4500s Electrical: Singer "390" and JY Power My Official Feedback Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He just wants all the subs moving differently.

Skullz Posted April 18, 2010 Report Share Posted April 18, 2010 With what he's wanting to do it would more like a 4way bass sub bass setup, may or may not do well on how well he makes the enclosure and powers them. He would be better served doing a setup of 15" subs and a 10" for midbass as thats really what he is after anyway.

cqtama Posted April 18, 2010 Report Share Posted April 18, 2010 kind of a dumb idea if you ask me. you can do something much simpler and get better results. is there a reason your friend wants to do this?
