99 Tacoma RD Audio Rebuild

[roarzorz 10+ year member]

Ok so here is the crazy part and I will recap this for you real quick.

Subs are a direct drop in from the old setup

Using 1/4 less power than the old setup

Using 1/3 less batteries than the old setup

It does a 160 on music now................

Still metering it Usaci style?

The alphas size were the biggest factor, not enough air space the peak of my truck went from 54 to 72hz. Also hard to find consistant 72hz songs. I always give music #'s burp is not good.

ya .6 is waaay too small for an alpha 10 sealed , i never really cared for them sealed either , nice # on music ! cant wait to be up to 160's ! interesting brand never heard of em , i thought it was photo shopd' lanzar vibe lol .

Regardless, that is very impressive. I really was digging the previous install, congrats on the new score, good job //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/thumbsup.gif.3287b36ca96645a13a43aff531f37f02.gif

We'll have videos(nice ones) up sometime next week.

My camera takes slightly better vids than Mike's phone and I'll be sure to get down there and give it a listen.

Kenny swears it shits on the 16 Sonances and that it's a good bit stronger than the 8 10" Alphas ported, so I'd love to see it.

If anyone missed it, here's a vid of the 8 10" Alphas :



Sorry about the shitty video, Mike and I were a little drunk the night before and it threw me off err...a good bit //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

There's no way in hell you're going to get me to believe he gained 4 dbs, especially with less power...

This is my setup. I'm using 6 hifonics hfi 12d4's. Off a single audiopipe 15001D. Tuned high. Peaked at 64 htz.. And i'm sitting at 1.34 ohms. Just remember not everything is what it seems.

Now I will say this much. I heard 2 of the vibe audio 15's in a ported box off about 1300 watts rms. They sound pretty loud. Low. And POWERFUL!!! but yeah. try that on for size 163.8 off less than 3k lol.

Interesting and very impressive, man! What vehicle do you have?

I know that so many variables do play a role in SPL and I'm not necessarily stating that it is absolutely impossible for the increase in DB. It's just very hard to comprehend. But on face value it should really make some sense being that he and you both are using almost twice the effeciency of the subs previous, and far less power. They fit the required specs and must like the box a lot better than the last subs did.

I come from nothing but trunk cars (mine at least), so I can only speak from so much experience.

After all these years my philosophical acceptance as to the "Universal Theory to Get Loud" is...

"If you have a small amount of air space to work with (i.e. trunk or whatever) the most efficient amount of cone area you can fit and the most power you can throw at 'em will yeild the best results. If you have a large amount of space; cone area, box design and tuning play a much larger role than just more power." At least that's what I think. If we quantified every single aspect to each specific vehicle, firing direction of subs, power, tuning... the whole 9, everything really is so subjective and relative to each install.

Very nice once again, and maybe one of these days I'll have something really loud too.
