Well, I don't know if anyone is interested but I built a 1.9ft^3 box tuned to 30hz for a single 12w3 and MAN it hits for only one driver. I can honestly say that it plays a very consistent frequency range unlike the dual 12w3 ported box I had and slams almost as hard. The only difference is a...

lol yes. on a computer. you make a good point.

i'm interested in choosing individual components to create a personalized 2/3 way component setup. i'm wondering: if i get an active crossover, will it conflict with my amplifier(s) built in crossover? mainly the cutoff frequency--if i set the cutoff for tweeters at say 2k hz on a preamp...

i know but that is the alignment that will give the flattest response. are there any pitfalls i should be aware of regarding it?

i was thinking that as well. i think i get kinda caught up in the aesthetics of the slot port. what i'd like to do is have a threaded aeroport hole that i can just screw in whatever i want. is there a specific combination of pieces that works best in this application?

hah. text certainly does not convey as much as actual interpersonal communication. ok. i'm on board with the enclosure being pivotal when it comes to maximizing the capability of a given driver in general. i have recently made a deal with my brother that entails him providing all necessary...

if winISD isn't the ideal utility, is there a more appropriate tool i can use to plan this out?

duly noted. i've set up my drivers in winISD but i don't think i'm doing it right because the specs its giving me make zero sense. i've been trying to gather as much knowledge as i can over time so that i would never have to ask for help, but here i am regardless. i guess i'm just concerned...

i appreciate your point. i am also planning on upgrading cables to 1/0awg and scooping a secondary battery with an isolator along with distribution blocks to have better wire management, so your suggestion helps.

jl specs give 1.75 cubes--i know the tuning is high--but i guess i've only been down this rabbit hole for a year and a half. i find that people i ask, or info i come across, state that in order to get REAL low 15's are that end all. i'm under the impression that even though my w3s aren't junk...

but would that seriously make the difference between what i have now and vibrating my sternum and chattering teeth?

dual enclosure, individual chambers, about 1.5ft^3 each tuned a little high at 36hz.

at the moment i have 2 jl 12w3's on an alpine m110, alpine type r components on a rf prime 600 4 ch with a pioneer avhx5700 head unit. i had these memphis 6x9s that were dirt cheap because i didn't think for a second the components alone could handle the front stage--i was wrong. the 6x9's...
