I'm not saying that more displacement isn't better, but that getting it with a larger cone is easier, cheaper, and can be more reliable that attempting to get it with excursion alone. An 8 inch driver with 16mm xmax gets 1037.7cc of displacement and a 12 driver with half the excursion still has...

Yup, and i'd take a larger cone area with less excursion over a smaller cone that trys to make up for it with huge excursion.

I'd take surface area over excursion anyday. STEALTH-124 | Soundstream You can't have much low bass in your situation. The lower you try to go the more output you will lose. I'd aim for slow rolloff around 40hz sealed or 35hz rolloff ported for more output than sealed if you can manage 2sq'

All it really takes is a ridiculously large box, but at that point why not go larger anyways, unless power is an issue.

$500 isn't a lot to upgrade with, if you can find the T/S parameters for the drivers you could build a nice ported box for them. Mdf is cheap. Then throw these things on top for the rest of the system. https://www.minidsp.com/products/minidsp-in-a-box/c-dsp-6x8 ST4.1000D - Soundstream...

TC Sounds LMS-R 12" DVC Subwoofer Not quite up there in power, they are underrated so expect it to handle between 1200-1500rms, but the fs and vas are where you want them.

Good bass for hard rock is actually pretty easy to get. For bass drums you really don't need to go below 40hz, in fact most PA subs don't do well below 40hz anyway. 40hz-80hz is what you need, and peak cabin gain for most cars falls between 50hz and 70hz, so a bandpass box tuned around there...

Ok first step if your considering ported is to get a RTA app for your phone. Take your sub in the sealed box outside off the ground away from any walls and play pink noise at low volume and take a screenshot with the RTA app about the same distance away as it will be in the car, then put it back...

It's worth checking that your not getting DC output through the sub. Measure dc voltage at the output with the headunit and amp turned on with no music playing.

I wasn't serious about her dumping me, she's actually an audio engineer, although the W.A.F. On this build is rather low. not turning it up is a real problem, I am an addict.

Yea, his name was Garrett, lost him quite a few years ago.

Actually i designed it for one, but after testing it and finding that it would get me in trouble I decided why not go all the way and see how loud i could get it. I looked at the ssa's that was the best that i could find before asking here, they have a very nice price too.

For $40 heck yea it's worth it. If you can find the T/S parameters for it, or know someone with a DATS that can measure it. If not it's still a good price, but you will be limited in what you can build for a box for it. It's going to be underwhelming in a sealed box for sure, but Pioneer for...

So I just made a 25hz tapped horn subwoofer with two Audiopulse (TC Sounds) Revo 10's that I've had forever now. This was for my home, but as it turns out that is way way way too much even at under 200w a piece, I just can't have it inside or I will invite an angry pitchfork wielding horde to...

^ This, and ported you probably won't either with that sub, although it should sound fantastic sealed your not going to get the Level part of SQL or 20hz in any meaningful way, and yea your port would be pretty ridiculous. I was really impressed with the the sound I was getting from my revos in...
