Indeed, it will also sound better in a vented enclosure because you're getting the lower extension that a sealed box doesn't have. They are more efficient than sealed.

good luck

definatly. that marc antony might help. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

 

[mike dressure 10+ year member]

yes it might lol

 

[reed dollaz 10+ year member]

u said i could, after impendance rise, have 4ohms? they are both dual 3's. or since its a 2channel mono i can just runn them 500x2 @ 4ohm. theyre 500wrms

I have one of those, its awaiting a TL enclosure //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

 

[reed dollaz 10+ year member]

screw you and your DD's lol and FastOne1 you have one what? one of the 8102's? and by TL u mean Tline? i heard some 10" titaniums in a Tline, getting close to 150's.

You should read more on enclosure design if you like the way a sealed box sounds. Sealed boxes sound like shit. All the waves inside the box dictating the way the cone moves. YUK.

All you are hearing is the rear phase coloring the front wave of the driver. This makes the cone move awkwardly. Hence, acoustic suspension enclosure title. People should read more about the acoustical aspects.

Yes, people should...

"Acoustic suspension

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jump to: navigation, search

The acoustic suspension woofer is a type of loudspeaker that reduces bass distortion caused by non-linear, stiff mechanical suspensions in conventional loudspeakers. It was invented in 1954 by Edgar Villchur and Henry Kloss.

 

 

[edit] Description

The acoustic-suspension woofer (sometimes known as “air suspension”) uses the elastic cushion of air within a sealed enclosure to provide the restoring force for the woofer diaphragm.

 

The entrapped air of the sealed-loudspeaker enclosure, unlike the stiff suspension of conventional speakers, provides a linear spring for the woofer's diaphragm, enabling it to oscillate a greater distance (excursion) in a linear fashion, a requirement for the clean reproduction of deep-bass tones.

 

Acoustic suspension woofers are very popular because of their low distortion, although they are much less efficient speakers than systems with vented or ported enclosures." - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acoustic_suspension

Id like to know where you are reading this theory about "rear phase coloring the front wave of the driver" and making it move ackwardly. Its weird how the vast majority of the car audio world considers sealed superior to vented systems for 'sq', for group delay if nothing else, yet you talk down to people who agree with them as if they simply haven't read up on the issue. So please, provide us some reference material to back up your theory. Thanks.

Indeed, it will also sound better in a vented enclosure because you're getting the lower extension that a sealed box doesn't have. They are more efficient than sealed.

Actually, sealed systems extend 'lower' due to not having a tuning point they would unload below. Yes, for most music, a 'low tuned' box will have more output in the lowest octaves of the song, but to say it would extend lower is not true. Hopefully now you understand the distinction. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Hey, y'all. I'm wondering if anyone can help an auto audio idiot? I'm new to this stuff an need some help. I have a 2005 Ram 2500 Quad Cab and am replacing the OEM system. I purchased a Pioneer DEH-P490IB head unit, a pair of 6.5" MCSYNC6 component speakers for the front, and a pair of 5.25" M-Series Coaxials for the rear. I got a little juiced up the other night and when I got home, I got on eBay and bought an M-Series 12" sub while my left eye seemed to be looking at something beyond the screen... Anyway, I'm wanting to power the system with a single 5 Channel amp and I've looked till I'm lazy left-eyed. I've checked the JL 500/5, the Memphis Belle, the MB Quart PAB5400, a U.S.Amps 5500X (old school), an Eclipse XA5000, DLS, Arc Audio, Diamond, Boston Acoustics, and a few others. Most of the above are way expensive, but I'm willing to do what I need to for the best sound possible. I don't want to go over $500. I've read great things about JL, but I've also read that they crap out frequently, usually right after the warranty expires. Heard similar things about the Memphis Belle. I'm looking for clean, balanced sound with a decent amount of volume - I'm not a competition guy who's trying to pop holes in the pavement. Can anyone give me some sound advice as to what amp I should go with. I'd really appreciate some input. Thanks!

Dont Hi-Jack. Start a new thread.
