So I finally got around to replacing my old Kicker CVR 10" in a custom ported box. It served me well ever since my JL 12w6 died, but since I got my Power Line CS, I've been quite unhappy with it. It was the weak spot in the system - didn't get loud enough, and there was an obvious hole in output between ~60 and 80hz. It got plenty loud...but it got loud way LOW and didn't provide a good clean range of frequencies. So, i got in touch with Don (6spdcoupe) and now I am the proud owner of a Vanadium 12".
It's a dual 4 ohm nominal voice coil woofer - the coils read around 3ohms each. I've got it wired up to my punch 100 with both coils in parallel, bridged, to a 2 ohm total load - giving each channel on the punch a 1 ohm load as a result, since it's bridged.
You may know that the Power Line CS uses the same motor/basket as the vanadium 7" subwoofer. Sure enough, the vanadium 12" is like my power line CS woofer's big brother //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
Check it out...same type of interwoven tinsel leads
Beautiful woofer
Mmmm, basket.
Chrome vented backplate..push type terminals for the 2 voice coils.
Vented all the way to the cone...no 'grill' in there like my power line cs woofers...but it's in a sealed box anyway, so there's nothing getting in there //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif Mirror shined chrome; note my reflection in there...
Currently it's mounted in a Q-logic 1.25CF sealed box. Rainbows spec sheet lists various enclosure sizes for sealed boxes varying from 0.42ft^3 all the way up to 1.73ft^3 depending on your goal. For example, the 'purist' has a QTC of .707 (woot) for 1.02ft^3 and shows f0 of 50hz. SPL-bomer shows QTC of 1.1 in 0.42ft^3 with f0 of 78hz. 'Allrounder' is 1.24ft^3 (my box) and shows an f0-hz of 46hz, with a qtc of 0.65
Here it is in the box //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
