What Subs should i use in this beast??

[kotec123]

i have a JVC HX-GD8 "mini" shelf system......its got 2 8 " side firing subwoofers and the ones it comes with just dont put out that much bass. It's a ported enclosure....... The sub amp is rated at

"195w per channel min. RMS driven into 6 ohms at 63 HZ with no more then 10% total harmonic distortion" (str8 from manual)

i need a sub that would preform at its max with this given amp and its gotta be 8" obviously.....not lookin to spend more then 200 bucks
thanks in advance

Some tang bands 8's
they are cheap and they bump

[kotec123]

can i find 6 ohm tang bands?....was thinkin CVR 8 but i dont think they make 6 ohm versions

There are a couple 6/8ohm subs on there

[kotec123]

which one is best?

[kotec123]

or i could try to see if my amp will run two 4 ohm subs....but im not sure if that wud work too well

[Eldorado]

which one is best?
The tangbands get the most praise.
They are 4ohm though
But you could always run 2 Isobaric ;)

[kotec123]

isobaric? where can i find those ....kickers?

[Eldorado]

Isobaric is an installation.
Like ported,sealed,bandpass

all the way on the bottom

naa im using the enclosures they are in now...dont have room for extra enclosures or else id just get a 15" ava and get a behringer and give it about 1000 watts.....

the current enclosure is ported with one aero port each
2.5 inch aeros more or less 1 foot long

[Eldorado]

Dude, you dont need another enclosure...thats why i told you to go isobaric ;)

[ballstothewall]

Isobaric is a type of loading, your thinking of Solobaric


The main advtantage of Isobaric loading is to use drivers that would require a really big cabinet to be used in a cabinet of half the volume. If you are using isobaric loading in a two way or less, then the bass driver will have to operate at a high enough frequency that the rear driver will be interfering with operation. You need to low pass the rear driver at a low frequency (for a three way, front and rear driver can be low passed at the same low frequency.)

Take it from someone who bought the biggest baddest Behringer, you DON'T NEED all that power...

[kotec123]

yea loook up my system and u wull see y its impossible without another enclosure

[kotec123]

so i would be runnin 4 subs in all??? sumone show me exactly what would be goin on

[Eldorado]

Yes
The subs will be facing each other.
Doesnt get any eaiser than that

[kotec123]

how would they mount.....they need to both be screwed into the same holes.....................so 4 subs total???

[kotec123]

from the silence ...^^ yea told ya it cant be done...any other suggestions

[ngsm13]

You're a dummy...

You're a dummy...

well lets see.....2 woofers firing in a enclosure made for 1, without altering it in any way......ON TOP of the fact that the T/s from the replacement woofers arnt even CLOSE to the stock ones....yea whose the dummy... obviously its possible but would be worse then it is now for twice the price :)

[Eldorado]

Id have to say you.

[kotec123]

why run isboaric given: 1) a fixed crosover point in relation to the mids that is going to change with the different impedance 2) a fixed enclosure size that isobaricly is going to cause the system to be extremely underdamped 3) a fixed power amount that the amplifier load may not even be able to drive depending on impedance

yea umm dummy =you

[Eldorado]

Says the one who had no clue what isobaric was...

[kotec123]

yea lol ok :eyebrow: ....... any suggestions on 8 inch subs?

[iagrdshaka]

Says the one who had no clue what isobaric was...

isnt isobaric some kind of subwoofer? ;)

bahahahahahahahahahaha

yea this again.......
why run iso??
i know what u meant by isobarically running the subs.....but since i asked for sub suggestions i was curious as to what were isobarics.....because i was expecting sub suggestions.....
but yea y run iso?....no reason...my point exactly and my point proven

[Eldorado]

Im done with you
Thank you, dont come again

[ngsm13]

You ARE a gay.

[kotec123]

lol yea i know...maybe i shud try cvr?
