    Bucket seats in the back of an intrepid?

    Very innovative idea. This sounds a lot like something that would be done in a trunk; because they don't have trunks so people put subs right in the cabin. I think SPLmanny made a custom bench seat that had subs underneath. I know thats not exactly what you want but it is the same idea - take...

    Competition SPL box design - as big as possible?

    I was wondering how do you decide on a box's size when its for SPL only. I am designing the box for a Kicker S12L7. This is for competition purposes only, as I already have a very good daily driver. I mean I already know how to design a box for SQ and SQL - I find this easy because you can...

    Need competition SPL sub (have 7.5cuft & 1200w)

    So two people have already voted for the Magnum D2 - I mean I'd love to grab one but I'm pretty sure my Eclipse Ti has the SQL of it. And honestly, in a 6.0cuft box you think a D2 will beat a 12L7????? Isn't there a waiting period on the D2 anyway? If I get a sub thats only purpose is for SPL...

    Need competition SPL sub (have 7.5cuft & 1200w)

    I'm getting into competition in car audio and I wanted to find a good sub I could use. I'd really like to test my skills with a good, but not crazy SPL sub (so $275 max on sub). I will be competing in SLAP and I want to compete in the stock class 1-160 in^2 class (single 12). I am sure I will...

    15" H2, 15" SI Magnum D2,15" Eclipse ti, 15" Adire Brahma,15" XXX

    Eclipse Titaniums work well in small sealed enclosures, and actually for a 15" 3 cuft per sub would probabbly be very clear SQ wise. But actually if you want it to hit harder, I have my single Eclipse Ti 12 in a 1.7 cuft ported enclosure and it hits real hard and sounds good too. If you...

    My cone started rattling (expensive A$$ Eclipse Ti)

    I've had a single 12" Eclipse Titanium since last april, and recently the cone started rattling. I think this is due to the change to a ported box that I recently made. For like the first 8 months I had it in a 1.2 cu ft sealed box, and it sounded good and hit good, but then I upgraded to a...

    Tell me what you think of my install...

    Looks crazy nice. And its not like your Eclipse Ti install was bad either. I was wondering how these two setups compare in regards to SPL and in SQ. And also what is the differences in enclosures and amplifications. This is just such a good place to do this compairison since the setups are...

    SPL competitor

    Hey I am wondering why you would want to go with more subs and probabbly less efficency instead of a few good subs with 100% efficency. I am sure that 8x 15L7's would be insane, but the more subs, the higher competition class your in. Why not get 3 or 4 subs with better SPL capabilites than...

    Dangers in tuning/subsonic filters? (Box tuned to 35hz, subsonic @ 33hz)

    I just built a ported box tuned, which is tuned to 35hz. I have a subsonic filter on my amp but I just realizes it only goes to 30hz. So I am using the subsonic filter in my audiocontrol epicenter, which is set at 33hz. I will eventually replace the module inside to put it to 35hz as it...

    Comment by 'danfortner' in media 'new box port'

    new box port I haven't had a chance to test it because my trunk broke! And I don't want moisture ruining my stuff. But if the port noise is killer I can always open it back up to install a slot port, although that would lessen the box volume by .10 cuft.

    Custom Built Ported Box + Eclipse Titanum = BOOM (PICS INCLUDED)

    In the documentation it does not recommend any type or size of enclosure. All they give you is the tiele/small parameters and leave the rest up to you. But with an FS of 27hz it can be used in either a ported or sealed enclosure.

    Custom Built Ported Box + Eclipse Titanum = BOOM (PICS INCLUDED)

    Is it possible that this sub functions in different environments than a traditional sub? I mean, when was the last time you saw a big 12, like this, work nicely in a 1cuft enclosure (.8 after displacement)? Maybe this sub is designed to work in enclosures 1/2 or 1/3 the size you would expect...

    Custom Built Ported Box + Eclipse Titanum = BOOM (PICS INCLUDED)

    I've based alot of my figures on the above website/recommendation. Is it possible that this sub functions in different environments than a traditional sub? Can someone please punch these numbers: Eclipse Titanium 12" (9122) Parameters: DC-R - dual 3.1 ohm FS - 27hz qts - .30 vas - 3.2...

    Custom Built Ported Box + Eclipse Titanum = BOOM (PICS INCLUDED)

    Type in the T/S numbers into Win ISD or something else and see what you get. (t/s @ http://forums.caraudio.com/vb/showthread.php?t=42203) Please someone back me up or correct me, I am a little worried now. Net size is 1.7 cu ft tuned to 35hz. THANKS!
