well I'll be using it in may car so for the subs obvisuly 100 hz and below and for measuring concerts so RTA would be great too 20-20k It would be great if I could double up and use it for an official measurement for the authorities but they require a dbA or sometimes a dbC measurement Thanks

Very "basically" the main weightings are: dba, dbc and dbz dba more corresponds to the human hearing and cuts out what we don't hear. dbc is more for loud noises as it doesn't cut all of the highs and lows out. dbz as far as I know is a raw measurement so it doesn't cut any frequencies out. So...

Thanks so much for your replies :) I wanted it mainly for my car setup so high db reading is needed and I thought I could use it for other random measurements too like concerts and stuff as I'm a sound guy haha. I'll be getting an RTA also. Using a pc with it like it does doesn't really worry me...

Anyone have any experience with Termlab? I was thinking of getting one for my car build plus I should be able to use it elsewhere right? like random things like concerts and hifi speakers out of curiosity?? will that work? I have heard that the Termlab only goes down to 120db is that correct...

Hey guys, I have a couple of websites in mind for subwoofer parts but does anyone know of any other good places that sell motors, spiders, coils, cones, baskets etc…. I'm keen to get it built and post some photos of it coming together. Cheers

Cheers guys!!! It’s hard to find decent reviews or dynos for these amps especially the high power ones like 8k, 15k etc… Also I love seeing inside the amps too in the youtube reviews. I did hear that you should run them a bit higher than rated impedance as it’s way more stable BUT I assume...

hahaha :P is it a matte black spider?? Yes, I was wondering that!! Let’s say you stack 3 spiders on top of each other wouldn’t they rub together slightly? How do you glue the spider in the middle to the coil former? As you normally glue the top and the bottom of the spider so if you have 3...

Thankyou :) Yes, I was looking at something like this but the hardest part is I really want a new headunit with a cd player..... that's the hardest part trying to figure out how to mount it and to get it to work with the original system!!

Most factory headunits have a roll off effectively deleting low to very low frequencies, lets face it 6inch door speakers are not subwoofers and will never produce real low frequencies like subs do so they have a roll off protecting the speakers so you can turn it up a “little” more and retain...

Hey guys, I’m wanting to custom build my own subwoofer driver (cone, spiders, coil etc….) is there anyone here with a lot of experience an expert in this field? Someone I can message direct to ask questions other than on a thread? Thanks so much!!

Hello, I’m looking a buying a new car maybe a KIA Cerato or alike obviously I’m an audio freak hence why like this forum!! But really how would one go about upgrading/replacing/modifying or adding to a new car audio system? The thing is I have to be careful in what I touch or modify due to new...

Hey ya!! Where’s the best place for ferrite ring magnets? About 10 or 11inch diameter and about 1inch thick. Cheers

When it comes to multiple spiders and they say they are stacked does that mean they are on top of each other? Like one on top of each other touching with no spacer? Wouldn’t they rub on each other or just not work? I’ve seen subs with 4 or more spiders but you can’t see any spacers. Cheers

Has anyone had anything to do with Taramps amplifiers? They do pretty big amps but I can’t find any decent reviews!!  I’ve only found a dyno test on the 3k and it turned out fairly good. https://www.taramps.com.br/en/produto/bass-15k/ Questions are? They are cheap in price buy why are allot of...

The more you research the more you will find and the more confusing it becomes I have a 2008 Subaru wrx hatch that has 6.5 inch splits in the front and 6 inch coaxials in the back and I want to replace them with something that will go quite loud but maintain really good quality. I was thinking...
