BJD3 Posted July 18, 2010 Report Share Posted July 18, 2010 I'll just shoot you a bunch here. Pick and choose which you think should be added. How do I determine whether or not a coil is blown? What is a "blown" woofer? Can I blow a sub by underpowering it? When do I need to start doing electrical upgrades? (And one I'd actually like to know, though it isn't 100% CA related:) How do I determine the proper range on my DMM? EDIT: Neo, you are friggin awesome for this. Anti Peel and Seal...lol You may be offended by the above. Don't take it personally, I'm just abrasive. 2002 Buick Park Avenue DC Level 4 M2 12 D2 Car Audio Bargain 1600.1 Eclipse CD3200 ~2 cubes @ 34 hz.

DylanH Posted July 18, 2010 Report Share Posted July 18, 2010 When do I need to start doing electrical upgrades? To go along with that, what electrical upgrades are available. Thats a big one that I never knew when I was new here. Also just electrical stuff in general. Like "Whats an VCM" and what size alternator for how many watts and that kind of stuff. Oh and your amazing!!! :drinks: http://www.youtube.c...er/SmallTownSPL 2002 Chevy Blazer Substage: Shhh, its a secret Mids and Highs: Stock-Going to change soon Amp:MTX 92001 Wire:1/0 Welding cable Electrical:Stock http://www.stevemead...__fromsearch__1 I hope she was meaning that to you. Any who.... You dont say you wanna have dinner in the first damn post. talk to her first. I say find out if the status was torwards you.. Here try this... "Hey hows it going ( notice smiley face makes everything better ) I saw your status. "You are far from usual".... So is my dick... Wanna Fuck tommorow???" Or send her message saying "hey" she replies back "hey" when this happens reply Wanna fuck (INSERT ADDRESS HERE) Quote of the SPL Creed ; back in the day my girlfriend gave me a choice between her and my love for car audio, I told that bitch I've made harder decisions at the Coke machine.

I pretty much covered most of the other stuff I think. If any thing is unclear, let me know. Need an install? Hit me up.[email protected]Got car audio questions?

kirill007 Posted July 18, 2010 Report Share Posted July 18, 2010 Well the reproduction is highly dependent on the box, but you can't say the response won't change. While the "loudness" does increase with cone area, the response of the entire driver does too. Different size subs have different electrical and mechanical compliance, different resonant frequencies, and different sensitivities, so putting them in a similar enclosure to the smaller sub WILL in fact yield a different sound. I have already explained how higher SD will yield more air movement, but technically a general trend is that the FS of a certain model will go down as the size gets bigger. That means the "bigger" sub will play lower in the correct environment, but there is no reason to ever think that 10s or 12s won't stop your heart with subsonic frequencies. I thought you wanted it in noob-speak, so it's not to complicated? Thinking is the root of all problems... You ALWAYS get what you pay for.

sqsux Posted July 18, 2010 Report Share Posted July 18, 2010 Sd - Effective piston radiating area of driver, in square centimeters. "This is the actual surface area of the cone, normally given in square cm." Nope. ...... I was reading through the definitions at the very top and noticed it wasn't there. Maybe I should just read everything before I open my big mouth next time Start out boxy, shape as you move along. Dc Audio Team Fur Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neo_frog Posted July 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2010 I thought you wanted it in noob-speak, so it's not to complicated? True, but I'm hoping if people don't understand the answers, they will reference the definitions or the other info to get a better idea. Honestly, the number one problem I think is knowing what the words mean! Need an install? Hit me up.[email protected]Got car audio questions?

moetpoppin Posted August 11, 2010 Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 lookin good man great info how about how big to build an enclosure and why? I hear some people saying they got two 10s in a 9 foot enclosure and shit like that. also another thing that might be cool would be an explanation of different boxes and advantages/disadvantages example: sealed-ported-bandpass and different order bandpass-t-line also what about things like port area and anything else you could think of Keep it up! TY TY Moet poppin', hoe hoppin', aint no stoppin' B.I.G. poppa, I'm a bad boy Party and Bullshit - The Notorious B.I.G. Honest estimate on this truck when it's all done........... 172.3........... Ehh.. U are aware of what 172.3 is, right? yep..... Two Pyle 15"s Build log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt402 Posted August 11, 2010 Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 somebody sticky this PLZ! i have been wondering what frequencies react best in what given airspace???... (it has to do with 1/4 wave theory somewhat.) this type of info will come in handy when building an extreme vehicle =] . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
