    G&S Redline

    From what I can remember I loved them and I remember a few other people had them and they hit hard. They would just keep taken power and never blink. I am not so sure about the company now. The currently are priced fairly low. I wonder if they are just mass produced Asian imports.

    G&S Redline

    Has any body bought any these products since the company has been put back together? I had two tens way back when and I absolutely beat them to death. Any good or trash. Any body? http://www.gsredline.net/Default.aspx

    pro box rock ?????? sub box company

    Regardless if a manufacture is driver specific. You can design a box produce a sound that desired by the consumer. I can design a box to be accurate and flat or hit low and hard, increase power handling, or basically a produce a wide variety of sound types. A manufacture doesn’t know what the...

    pro box rock ?????? sub box company

    I am not a big fan of pre fab boxes. I am not entirely convinced that you can buy a box already tuned to a specific frequency. A prefab box doesn’t take into any consideration the required port cross sectional area that is required by your sub. The manufacture doesn’t know what you are going to...

    Bigger box, more port area = more SPL?

    Minimum cross sectional area for a port is critical. It is based on you sub parameters. If a ports area is to small then you sub has to gasp for air kinda like ******* hard through a straw. If they are large enough then you subs don't have to work as hard and you get more bang for the watt. If...

    Tuning box freq.

    Off the top of my head. To calculate a complex box volume you usualy have a expensive audio measurement system like LEAP or CLIO. You can measure the impedance function of the enclosure with the ports sealed of and then measure it again with the ports open then calculate the box compliance and...

    Tuning box freq.

    You might be able to turn it to your advantage depending on how far off you are. You may be able to extend the port and extend the low frequency response. If you are building something you want hit super low and hard for around town you may be able to make what is called a extended bass shelf...

    Tuning box freq.

    You need to add the the volume that the driver occupies (magnet structure and cone assembly) and volume of the port (You need to include the wall thickness of the port.) to the 1.87 ft^3. This will give you your total box volume.

    Type R Box

    I would be sure didn't rest against any of the enclosure walls. In the SPL world you try to place the ports in the same direction of the subs and space them from each other based on the distance from the mic placement area to the end of the enclosure to avoid wave cancellation in the cab...

    Type R Box

    I would go 25-1/2 by 11 by 11 and port in the side. Try to make the end of the port free of any obstructons outside of the enclosure. Try to leave a space away from any walls or windows in the car. I have a ten inch type r in my jeep my enclosure is a little smaller than what is recomended by...

    Type R Box

    It doesn't have to be a slot port it could round with a elbow. I would be careful the actual box volume should include the volume of the magnet and cone structure along with the volume occupied by the port(The manufacture estimated this for you when he gave you the dimensions). If you build an...

    Bass Horn

    I am thinking of building a horn. I would like to do something that uses multiple drivers instead of a single driver horn. I was just wondering if anybody had any design ideas or visuals I could get ideas from. I want to get creative here. Horns are wonderful creatures if done correctly. I am...

    what is clif design ??

    They are completely revising the web site. You should be able to turn it off. The new site requires Flash Player 8 if you are running Flash Player 7 there will be some problems viewing the site and possibly some sound issues.

    what is clif design ??

    My friend had four of those amps in his car. I have seen a lot of stuff and that amp is in my top five. If you can supply them the correct voltage and current they will do what they say.
