yeah, they're super deep. I ended up mounting it on the end of a long skinny sealed box... that's where they're useful when 1 or two sides of the box are restricted. It's sits under my side facing jump seats and fires back toward the rear door. My amp could give it 375 watts rms, but it gets...

i gotta agree with jmac... the fact that the drivers were all tested in the same size box is a real bummer considering how much time and energy went into the study. Lots of cool information, but knowing that the ed-8a was in a really large box (compared to optimal) and the ew7 was in a really...

I have an 8w7 in my g500 and it basically matches the output of my older (.5 inch throw) infinity perfect 10, but it's feels like it has flatter response with smoother and less tense in the upper frequencies. Needs kinda big sealed box by most standard, but this sure has nice low extention. I...

bouncing this one to the top again... i'm in the market for a new head unit and i'm into this AR5000 unit because it looks simple. I'd like to keep a factory (simple looking) unit. Also heard good about the SQ of the Clarion dxz745, but it's not so stock looking.... accept on that one i think...

I've heard that there are others. Haven't researched enough to find them though. How flat? What brands? Any experience with those?

Any body have any experience with the Blaupunk Overdrive subs? Their 2" thick pancake design lends it self to the install in rear door panels of SUV's. Currently in process of building a box for a JL8w7 for under the rear jump seat, but darn if that 1 cube box doesn't look big! Given i had...

and no i can't draw it right now because i don't want to spend the time, but someone can, or read a highschool physics book. 1. group 4 speakers together and wire them in parallel by connencting all the positive leads together, and by grouping all the negatives together. 2. you've now got 4...

I have no idea of any songs that play below 32 hz... but any digitally generated music (as opposed to analog instruments) could easily give you a CD full of 20hz.... again not that i'm specifically aware of any. I guess my point is just to say that in theory, any open ported system system (as...

if you've got some tracks with signal well below the tuned frequency, without a subsonic filter your as good as running free air, thus much less power handling. Ask RE what the free air power handling ability is... if you were in a sealed box i'd say you have a better story but in a ported box...

at light av http://www.lightav.com/car/car.html He's got 4 (you only need 3 of course) of the soundstream exact8's and he's trying to get rid of them... think they're priced at $89 each. Not as cheap as the RE's but chances are the extension is lower...

i've read everywhere that it can make up to 30% difference in effective volume, and have read the rule of thumb for how much to add, but it never says if 1 lb/cubic foot is likely to equal about 30%? Can i build a box (about 10x10x30) and make it 15% smaller intenral volume and anticipate...

any chance you have a bad ground, your amps are starving and underpower either as a result of a bad ground or otherwise, and then they send out terribly distorted clipped signal?... there are still ways to ruin a speaker even if it's underpowered... Or if you live in florida and it's always...

Supa C, maybe if you spent more money on a better ride your wouldn't need 2 15's to add coolness to your mommas suburban. ... if your just teasing me... sorry, i took you seriously, my bad. Btnhfan, if the jlw7's are twice as loud as most other 8's i'm looking at then it would be worth it...

I'm currently running an Infinity Perfect 10" which is generally quite a bit more SPL than i need, but i don't want to sacrifice much...and i'm trying not to take up much more space... current bosx is about .6 cubic feet. What i really wanted was the E8a's but they're no longer making them as...
