Buying a New Sub

[NoRemoteNoTV 10+ year member]

alright thx for all your guys help its nice to know there are people around that will still help and not just call somebody a noob or somethin

and with the whole box situation I dont really have the room for a dual ported because dont I need a decent ammount of free air room if Im pushing that much air around because I know with the one Ive got in there right now it sounds like my trunk is falling apart and I know most of that is just the pure force of the 9500 but I just figured if I didnt have enough room in my trunk then it would sound bad and probably distorted

if your gonna do 2 9500's I would go with 6 cubes tuned to 32hz. And remeber to brace that box

x2. i'm still mooching off the rents for now so i'm buying up while i can tho my car insurance is killing me. **** accidents. but if you have the money, i'd say get the other sub, build a dual box for them (sealed is easier, smaller and has better response) or ported (better output, bigger, and not as easy). you're choice. but wire them to 1 ohm, set the gains using a dmm to recommended rms, and bump away.

ya sealed will give you best possible sound quailty. but since your a bass head you would want to go ported and if you tune correctly you really wont notice a dash of Sound quailty missing

he said he can't do a ported box. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif sealed would be his best bet.

does he not have enough room? he could even cut the box down to 5 cubes...

and also, ported is not "free-airing" a sub fyi. completely different.

he can deaden the trunk?

 

[dkguitarist 5,000+ posts]

it also depends on what car he has, how much room he has/wants to take up, etc. but yes i do agree on porting if he can.

4ohm = less distortion1ohm = more distortion... but you cant tell because its such a low freq.

not low frequency... (frequency is measured in hertz) frequency response is not directly affected by ohm load. I believe what you meant to say is that its soo low that its inaudible.

I don't mean to sound like a dik, i'm just making it clear for others.
