MADVIBES Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 the rumor was underpowerin a sub would blow it, since most people, noobs, dont know the difference between dirty, clean, clippin, and not clippin generalizes it. but no sub is blowable by underpowering with clean power unclipped. true story I will agree with that fine sir!

Spitfire2k6 Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 Here is one. "You cant make a box for 6) 18" subs out of plexiglass." Thats the best one yet by far haha Live life to the full... Then TURN THAT BITCH UP! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirill007 Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 I can say I worked for a high end loudspeaker manufacturer. Car 18" drivers dont cut the mustard! Hands down. Super crazy mms of over 400 grams pushed by a 3" motor doesnt equal sq. It equals mud. Saying my comment is idiotic is a bit far flung. One 18" driver that has car potential/ also very good home potential is the aurasound nrt18 bad ass sub! Your right with in reason about any size driver an be built for a given bandwith. unfortunatley an 18" driver that play under 20hz up to 100hz -/+3 db is not the norm.. As by boy john bender might say "Not even close Bud" Can u show me a 12 that plays from 20hz to 100hz with a rolloff of maximum 3db's? 18" inch subs sound the same as a 12 inch sub, if they are properly made. (offcourse a Pyle 18 inch vs a Fi Q 12, the fi Q would win.) (oh and btw, skittles, the judge probably heared they were 'spl' subs because the box is not really a SQ box.) My sub is better cause it moves back and forth cause it is dual coil. Your sub only moves out cause it is single coil. Lawlz. I have a quad coil, it moves from right to left too, and up and down. Thinking is the root of all problems... You ALWAYS get what you pay for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EclipseChris Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 Here is my take you can blow a 1000 watt sub with a 100 watt fairly quickly if the amplifiers is sending out any reasonable amount of dc voltage. A sub might be able to handle 1k of clean ac all day but fail quickly when getting 15 volts of dc. Amps do not put out DC current. Amps put out AC current. i resolve to be a nicer moderator.

bassl0va Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 I have a quad coil, it moves from right to left too, and up and down. damn so that's how they get those subs to ripple like on YouTube!

bassl0va Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 Amps do not put out DC current. Amps put out AC current. I think he meant if the amp is screwed and has terrible DC offset. I'm pretty sure you would have to be retarded to use it though if it was that bad.

kirill007 Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 Amps do not put out DC current. Amps put out AC current. Normally amps don't put out DC current, but what do you think that clipping is? EDIT: Not a FAIL of me Thinking is the root of all problems... You ALWAYS get what you pay for.

EclipseChris Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 Normally amps don't put out DC current, but what do you think that clipping is? Clipping is bad AC signal. Doesn't make it DC. I may be wrong but there is no reason for an amp to put out DC current. Unless it got DC input. i resolve to be a nicer moderator. Tercel build R.I.P. Eclipse build Old New V-Dub My feedback.
