Does anybody have any experience in isobaric loading. I'm currently pondering my next trunk setup. I have 2 15" subs that will take 4 cubes each. I have the space for a 8 cubed enclosure, but it doesn't leave much room for amp, crossover install. Sure I can still install the 3 amps I'm using and...

This question is for experts only. What if there existed an amplifier that was made to power a Passive Radiator System. Let me explain what I mean. In a standard PR configuration there exist a Subwoofer and a Passive Subwoofer. Is it possible to have a amplifier design that allows for two...

Hold up! Missing the point, I know what I have, a budget sub, yes a budget sub, $100 bucks a piece. In the foreseeable future I will be upgrading to one 18", somewhere around $500 bucks, don't know what brand yet. But for right now, I have exactly what I want. A reasonable priced sub-woofer for...

OoooK! Can you say "Entry Level". Not offended. Understand completely what you are saying. Did all my research, homework and all of that. What I have is just a basic system to build upon myself. I didn't want to spend $1200 based off of some car audio shop guy opinion or go by "if it was me I...

I'm finally getting back into car audio. I'm starting out on about a $1200 system. Entry Level Head Unit: Alpine 147B Cross Over: Kicker Front Row Sub Amp: Brutus BRX1100.1Mono Block Mid Amp: Brutus BRX320.4 4 channel Highs Amp: Brutus BRX160.2 2 channel Sub Woofers: 2 Brutus BRZ15D4...

bbeljefe, thanx for the reply, you really put it in plain English. Don't get me wrong, I understand the surround sound effect, and how it double dips into a music track. What I mean by that is because time delays, refractions, reflections & deflections are already recorded into the music and...

Thoughts after replies, Thinking it through some more, to you gckless, I know all those different sounds clashing together on stage from one particular instrument's spot is not so melodic, but from the vocalist point of view a bit more pleasing. My theory is not to make corrections to the music...

ahardy17, You seem to grasp the fundamental of this theory of mine. I appreciate your reply (highly motivational). I don't know your background but could you give me some expert advise as for as the predictability of the ports, if not do you know anybody that can, again thanks

First I would like to explain what I mean about "Sound All Around". "Sound All Around" means, experiencing music from the artist or vocalist point of view performing with a live band. When a live band is performing all the instruments are either to the side of or behind the vocalist. I know...

oh yes, I forgot to post my system Head Unit: Alpine CDE 147-BT X-Over: Kicker Front Row ZXDSP1 Sub Amp: Brutus BRX1100.1 D Subwoofer: 2 Brutus BRZ15D4 Mid Bass & Mid Range Amp: Brutus BRX320.4 Mid Range Drivers: Door: 2 ATL5768CX (5x7) Rear Deck: 2 HF8SQ-i4(8" square) Highs Amp...

Thanks guys for all the input, I understand the problem with the standing waves. I kind of sort of disagree about it tho. I still plan to experiment with this, who knows maybe some other idea may come from it. Thanks guys.

The extra chamber is not ported out its closed off, click on this attachment.

This if for bbeljefe, what you are describing is a ABC band box. I've did my research on that type of enclosure. What I'm purposing is something different, this has never been done (if it has I havn't seen it). This concept works for sealed and ported or any kind of enclosure. At the core the...

Even tho, I'm just looking at this concept for better cone control, the application (if it works) could be used for other purposes.

Not saying that this concept would even work, but I would like to hear your ideas or comments about it and what would you do different?
