subwoofer

Pretty rediculous! Why? It probally sounds great but WHY?

 

 

People say the same thing about my shee.. lol why? because I guess I'm a "extremest".

 

Their only 8's.. I only had about 5" of mounting depth to work with and most 10's are too deep. I'm going to build a new box. Either going to do 3 of them ported or 4 sealed. Havn't made my mind up yet.

before i read this post, i was gonna suggest pullin 2 and makin the box taller, the subs really shine vented (nevr ported) but you could only run 2 at the minimum air space. the vents take alot more space than you would think, and are not part of the box airspace, hence ft3 + port. the port timing behind a seat could give you an anurism before you get it right (yes, i know i called it a port) with 4 sealed , the box will be on the small side, but you can fudge it with 10 wt fiberfill availible at fabric store for cheap. just try to keep it away from the vent holes, or the coils will get hotter than usual. i'll try to get pics of my setups on the comp. particularly the 4-12's blow through, and the crawl-through (2x L7 15's @ 12 ft3 vented) :sick:

There was no more cu. ft. to be had that I was willing to give. I moved the seat forward about 4" to make more room for the box. With 6 subs, ea. sub is getting over .39 ft3 and min is .33. I know how to build a vented enclosure and have built my fare share. I'm not into the roadside DB drags anymore. I'm pretty much SQ now and I prefer the sound of mulitiple smaller drivers over vented enclosures. I like my install and like the way it sounds. Car audio isn't my bag anymore and I've moved on to other hobbies that me and my family can enjoy. Hence BansheeHQ.

 

I'm not trying to sound like a ass but... The guy asked to see pictures of peoples subs in their trucks. So I posted mine. I wasn't looking for a box building tutorial. If you have pics of your install in your truck.. Post'em up! :beer:

hey 05, how is the frequency responce on those w7 subs at low volume? I want something that punches hard like them, but I heard the "bottom end" isnt so great and to go with a w6 or w3. But they would prob bottom out at a constant 500w load. Plus I dont think they drop below 20hz.

 

Those flat pioneers sound good too, but arent very loud.

 

Boston Accoustics have those racetrack shaped subs that are pretty compact that are bad as fuck and drop to like 15hz/1000w cont., but they are like $675 ea or something like that.
