Is My Port Too Small?


Recommended Posts

Bigballa You've been giving out a lot of false info. Most of the time when subs blow due to being underpowered is because people try to compensate by setting the gain too high and clipping the hell out of the signal.

Please for people that wan't to learn, STFU. 8)

There is no such thing as underpowering, end of discussion.

(You can kill subs with wattage below thier RMS rating, but that is because:

A:The subs are waay overrated.

B:It get's a clipped(or "dirty" as you call it) power.

C:There is no C.

D:What do you think that happens if u put it at half the volume?(or do you keep it at full blast all the time? :nea: )

Back ontopic:

The fifteens will be louder in a perfect box then 12's in a perfect box.

But i would go with the 2 12's because it's easier to mess around with box designs and you have enough room to make a pretty amp rack and still be able to put a batt or 2 in the back.

The difference in loudness to the ear would be neglible.

Thinking is the root of all problems...

You ALWAYS get what you pay for.

If you want a different amp just get one of the new hifonics..they do very close to the rated power, if not the rated power...plus, they're affordable.

P.S: my hifonics 1206d is .5 ohm stable, lol.

Dude, you're retarded clipped power isn't the same as under power. Subs blow with lower power because of user error.
