I have a pair of shivas, they are in a 5.4 net common enclosure with 41 sq in of port 30" long, this yields a tuning of about 26 Hz. The sound quality is very good. The bass is very very transient and deep. However, it tends to peak a lot at 40-50Hz. So, don't go thinking that just because it's...

I think you'll probably get the most xmax for the money from adire audio, the shiva has 19 (I think) mm of one way true linear excursion for $125... I don't know what other companies can compete with that. the JL audio w6v2 has 19mm xmax (I don't know what method they used to measure it, but...

I can confirm ranger man's observations on the inhuman 10. It has a mere 4 mH Le (which is very good for an spl sub), and decent qts/fs characteristics, so it actually does have good sound q. and it's spl is very insane. Voice coil is a beast too. My source for this info is a BA rep.

Where can I get decent carpet for a box and how can I put it on and I don't want to spend too much money to do it. I've never done it, i've always made farmers boxes, but now that I'm getting into making boxes for others... I kind of need to know whwere or how to get this stuff, so any help...

You can set up paypal, if you have a bank account. last I checked, you could have a bank account at 17... it would takea bout a week to get set up but once it's set up money from bank goes into paypal paypal pays ikesound... does ikesound still take paypal?

http://www.linearteam.org get the pro alpha the non pro alpha versions have some funky things going on with numbers, however, the pro alpha version kind of calculates qtc in a way that I'm not familiar with. It usually results in making the box larger. the formula I normally use to calculate...

reviews, especially in large magazines with a large reader base, with money tied up here and there, left and right, [reviews] can and will be subjective. rarely have I read a car audio and electronics review and said, "dang, that was the epitome of objectivity and intelligence". I got into...

sounds like your voice coil is burnt out... too much power for too long. it got too hot, probably oxidized the copper in the vc and melted the glue.

I wonder if this sub is a sq sub, an spl sub or both or wha? I can't imagine a sub that can handle that much power and still be called a sq sub.

I just got my front stage set up in my '94 blazer I'm using a pair of image dynamics cd2 comp horns and 2 of 4 18w/5535a 7" drivers from scan speak it's being powered by a precision power pcx-4125 amp termporarily I have them in kick panel locations mounted to a baffle board that is not...

what kind of subs are you using? amp power might have something to do with it, but I'm thinking that the biggest factors for tightness and clean bass are Le (inductance) of the voice coil(s) and Qtc (damping factor of the sealed box and driver combined, depends on the qts value of the driver...

btw, I am hard core SQ. I've spent 4500+ on my system, retail is about 12,000... hours for installation and planning, too many to count. I am a typical cerebral male, not much on the physical bruteness department, but 150,00 years ago, I would ahve made a mean arrow to put right in between...

being a psychology major, I am uniquely (not that much so) qualified to answer this question. freud would have a heyday with this one, but it is coming to pass in the realm of psychology that freud is bunk and empiricism (thank god) is taking over. this is my theory: bass and high end car...

What's the inductance on each voice coil of the RE XXX series subs?

that is theft, and in this country, theft is illegal. How come someone would do that? I have sent him an email saying that I'm unhappy and that he should give me a refund. He's not making a terrible amount of money off me, maybe a few hundred dollars... I don't see what his problem is. And, I...
