Its going to be dancing on the back plate if you do.

coil can't reach backplate in the mag design..

otherwise I would have broken both of mine when I accidentally hit then with 15hz @ 4kw the other day... demoing a track a guy wanted to hear.. and didn't tell me it was in there....

Then what is the clanking noise I get when I beat the piss out of it at 30hz and below? It scares me so I turn it down. Sealed is great for showing off excurrrrsion at the low end, really gets the mag moving.

I wanna try a 12" Mag in 2 cubes sealed. need to downgrade a bit for now.

suspension noise, clipping, or the box isn't completely sealed..

if you're bottoming the coil... it only clanks a few times... then the hamsters leave..

trust me... coil don't get to backplate.. you can ask hicks, or midget.. both of them have witnessed what all I do to these poor woofers..

I dont doubt you trust me...But I know its not clipping and it sure doesnt sound like supention noise. I know for a fact that the box is sealed up nicely.

Who knows...It will be ported soon, just trying to figure out how the box will be setup.

Too big IMO. I had mine in 1.7 sealed and with 600rms that was about all I ever wanted to push it to. 1.2 sealed with fill is about right for 900+rms.

Definatly have to give you a x2 there. Get the tuning down into the low to mid 30's and let it wang.

He did...He was showing it off and said he was surprised he got it to do so.

do the shims get left in or removed before you put the dustcap on?
