chapo123 Posted May 19, 2010 Report Share Posted May 19, 2010 is that before or after displacment? and tuned to 38eh. what kinda music you listen too? if rap its going to sound okayyy not as good as like 35 and below Quote Steve I don't know why but everytime I see your new paint I want a Dr. Pepper...... is this normal? heres an analogy for you. running a high power stereo without a fuse is like having unprotected sex with that hot chick at the bar with the sketchy sexual history. Sure you may be fine and nothing happens but that one time something does happen you're fucked. i dont want woofer broke like bass sound clip clip and voice coil overheat 2 sa12s, saz1500 build log http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/91183-chapo123s-sundown-build-log/page__gopid__1250604entry1250604 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben G. Posted May 19, 2010 Report Share Posted May 19, 2010 (edited) He means botteming your woofer out. Like pitting it. running out of coil when in is on the in motion. I'm pretty sure thats what he meant????? could be wrong. And the reason he is most likly thinking this is you may have too large of a box which would mean too much air in the box and the sub wouldn't be tight enough to keep it suspended. It would be sloppy and loose.???? IDK my descriptive words suck..lol Edited May 19, 2010 by Ben G. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
