    Getting loud in a trunk

    Lol, anything else we can answer for you man? Cause I think this discussion has pretty much wrapped itself up

    Getting loud in a trunk

    I really don't get you man. You said I was wrong about subs playing more even in smaller boxes. I said , post 25, that we've measured a lot of what we've built on a termlab and it's turned out that way. You said I was incapable of accepting another point of view, even though there were two...

    Getting loud in a trunk

    Lol, yeah, cause how hard your setup hits is the defining factor of overall knowledge. And again dude, you're the one who disagreed, saying I was wrong. But I guess that's my intolerance showing? I guess that was my intolerance when I said there's no reason both of our ways can't work? K

    Getting loud in a trunk

    Whatever dude, there's no reason both of our processes can't work. You're the one who started challenging what I was saying, going on about how many people you've seen fail using WinISD. Get over yourself, you're not the only one who can figure out how to put a small circular speaker into a...

    Getting loud in a trunk

    Pretty much. The old shop I used to worth with ordered them by the pallet load and would run insane deals like buy one get one for 30 and try and push 4 at a time for loud budget builds.

    Kicker Comp. 12" 8ohm??? [Archive] - Mobile Sound Science Forum - Fact Based Car Audio for the DIY Enthusiast Not the only one who came to similar conclusions and never said it was practical. But I'm sure your all inclusive experience trumps what we've built and measured on a term lab. Also...

    Getting loud in a trunk

    That was us playing around with one of the old Kicker comps a while back. It always seemed like we never got the low end response of them that we could other subs. So, we wanted to see exactly what it would take to get them there. The end result was a stupidly large box. Other series kickers...

    Getting loud in a trunk

    In my experience, not the case. If you know what your doing, and know to expect and compensate for cabin gain, then WinISD can be a very useful tool. One of the local car audio shops used to it for every custom build and used to it to take first place with a 160's db build using one 18. A lot...

    Getting loud in a trunk

    Maybe, a lot of the forum popular subs tend to be easy to peak in larger boxes. But they need to space to take advantage of that excursion, so it's a mix. My compromise is larger ports at any given tuning. Reduced pressure in the port can help the sub move more air And just to clarify, I'm not...

    Getting loud in a trunk

    Maybe, depends on the sub. Here's three examples of entry level drivers with very different sound profiles that we are trying to build a box for to match the sound profile we want. Kicker C12 4ohm ~ 300w Polk Dxi 1240 DVC ~ 320w Sundown E12 DVC ~ 500w These subs are all the same size and...

    Getting loud in a trunk

    So here's my usual recommendation for customers with similar goals. Get one good quality sub and put your money into an awesome install. Subs that are put in an enclosure that fully utilizes them can have some pretty impressive results. With the box size you mentioned, two tens would be well...

    Getting loud in a trunk

    Depends on the subs, the trunk, and the install. If you want to build into the trunk then two 12's would be fine, but two 15's might be a bit cramped. Depends on how much air space you can squeeze out. Typically, one well done sub will equal or out perform two poorly installed subs of the same...

    Sundown SA - Same league as Fi / Incriminator / AA?

    I meant between the Lethal Injection and the Death Row. The Death Penalty should be a decent step up from the LI's. Atleast that's what I was trying to say

    Sundown SA - Same league as Fi / Incriminator / AA?

    Cliff notes: Basically, was wondering if the SA was as good as Fi / IA. Consensus seems to be that's it's close, but not quite the same quality. But, it does seem to hang in there in terms of output and durability. Plus, Jacob pointed out that it has a lot of benefits that you don't...
