Hey all, i am new to this forum and i would like some help //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
I know this might not be the best place to post but here it goes:
I have a car audio home setup and i think it sounds like shit compared to what i hear in other cars going on the roads...
I have the following setup:
Phoenix Gold 15.0:1 Amplifier
Kicker SoloBaric 15" L5 4ohm Silver Subwoofer
Another Kicker SoloBaric 12" L5 4ohm Black Subwoofer
Both subs in sealed boxes (i think i want to port them)
Some crappy amp that claims to be 3900w
88ah 12v Car/Truck battery which is not too healthy
12v Car battery charger that gives out 20Amps
All the wiring
and my receiver is the following:
Cambridge SoundWorks DTT3500 Digital speaker system without the sub and the car sub instead
And a pc for all my music //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
Ok so basically, i turn it all on, i get some bass but i don't think it's enough. Before i had the 15" SoloBaric, i just had the one 12", and since i had the 15", i haven't noticed much difference, i don't know what to do, i'm thinking i need to port the box, but i want to make cheap changes to my box, i don't want to make a completely new box as my budget is now really low.I can provide dimensions of the 2 boxes:
The 12" SoloBaric Box dimensions ( it's wedged on the side of the cone and the back ):
The wedged side: 38cm by 38cm ( 15 inches by 15 inches )
The base: 38cm by 41cm ( 15 inches by 16 inches )
The sides ( trapezium ): base 41cm ( 16 inches ), sides 38cm ( 15 inches ), top 19cm ( 7.5 inches )
The top: 38cm by 19cm ( 15 inches by 7.5 inches )
Wood: 2.5cm ( 0.9 inch )
The 15" SoloBaric Box dimensions ( it's only wedged at the back ):
The base: 38cm by 43cm ( 15 inches by 17 inches )
The cone side: 43cm by 43cm ( 17 inches by 17 inches )
The weged side, back: 43cm by 46cm ( 17 inches by 18 inches )
The side: base: 38cm ( 15 inches ), front: 43cm ( 17 inches ), back: 46cm ( 18 inches ), top: 25.5cm ( 10 inches )
Wood: 2cm ( 0.83 inch )wood
I really hope someone can help me out here, I do have some spots in the room where the bass sounds sweet, however where my computer desk is, all I hear hardly any bass at all, just the floor rattling, i cannot even feel the bass.
If you require more details, or even images of my equipment, speakers/amps, just tell me i can post them up no problem. Looking forward to hearing from you guys, thanks for reading.
