Mixing subs ftw!

do whatever the hell you want

Hehe, WOOOO this guy has got the idea!

What happens if he uses two different amps? Let's say a person has a pair of Fi Qs, one is Dual 2 ohm, and the other is Dual 1 ohm. The Fi Q D2 is powered by an amp that does 1000W @ 1ohm, and the Fi Q D1 is powered by an amp that does 1000W @ 2 ohms. Can these 2 Fi Qs be put into the same box?

it would be possible like that, but wouldn't reccomend the enclosures haveing a common internal airspace, (it will be very hard to match the output perfectly)

and it's unlikely that a amp series would make 2 different amps that put out the same wattages at different ohm loads, so that means you're gunna have 2 different modles of amps (unless your amp is like a slash series)

different models = different processing = different output... so again its possible but stupid when you could much more easily buy matching equiptment... as far as upgrades go, why on earth would you want to buy different ohm subs? how does that "keep your options for addition open"?

And yet tomorrow, or maybe next week, you'll engage in a heated debate, insisting your mis-matched sub system sounds great. Or, have you finally seen the light?

dude i understand perfectly why everyone says my system sucks, but what you guys don't seem to understand is i've taken my system to 7 different car audio shops, countless people have heard it, almost everyone that hears it is amazed... granted i am robbing myself of alot of output that i could have without mixing...

but other than that the fact is there is realy NOTHING wrong with it... and i know you'll never believe it till you hear it so i don't know why you'd even bring it up, nothing i say will EVER convince you of anything you don't want to believe...

laws of physics? well they say cancellation exists anytime 2 sound waves meet... so why does my system HAVE to have more cancellation than a same sub system?

edit: well i'll put it like this, i've tried to believe everything thats been told to me about the cancellation and all, i really have, exept i've disconeccted and reconected the 5th sub dozens of time, there is absolutely NO argueing the fact that when connected the volume is MUCH louder, not quite twice probly about 50% louder... eith no loss of clarity (audibly) so if a real time analyzer shows me all kinds of inaudible distortion, what do i care? i'm not entering it in an sq competition! it's mediocre as far as alot of systems go.... but it sounds fine and loud.... PERIOD

lol how are your subs mismatched?

sorry to hijack but i gotta get to the bottom of this one

errrr WRONG

laws of physics say when 2 waves meet, depending on their phase, there are constructive and destructive interference. constructive is the waves are in perfect alignment, it doubles in amplitude and is twice as loud. destructive interference is when two waves meet and are 180 degrees out of phase and cancel, thus no sound.

its bad in home theatre depending where you are.

learn your shit before u speak

whadda mean "ERRRR WRONG"? you just repeated what i said numb-nuts

i know my shit

lol ok look at what you said. i was informing those who DONT know you and who DONT know physics entirely, you left out the other half (constructive interference), and didnt specify how they cancel.
