running 8 sets of rsds xover question

[Eugenics 5,000+ posts]

true, but even though it's comparing apples to oranges....that's like saying 1 12" sub well installed is going to be louder then 8 lesser 12" subs decnetly installed(we're not talking s!tty comps here either). Possible, but simply because of sheer cone area and air displacement, improbable. DOn't get me wrong, a badass 4 way pro audio setup would be as loud and probably sound much bettter but i dont consider that a "component set"
So I'm still waiting for that recommendation

my point is that you need to take in MANY things such as air space requirements, cancellation, linear output, etc. etc. Cone area is just a very small part of the equation. In fact if i'm not mistaken someone threw up 180.5db with one sub. So yes, one 12 could very well be much louder than 12 'lesser' subs. Lets not let this get too ambiguous though. As far as a component set you could go with some boston Z's and 400 watts in a kick or two sets if you really really wanted.

Comparing subs and mids isn't the same thing. Because of the wavelengths involved cancellation MIGHT happen at one point in the subs' range. As the wavelengths get shorter, the number of reinforcement and cancellation nodes gets higher. The more drivers that you add the more cancellation nodes you add. The result is that you will have a ragged response that will not be as loud. With a single set of good drivers and time alignment you can eliminate almost all cancellation and turn it into reinforcement making it louder.

**** James, that is pure *** right there. Is that your car or someone else's? Looks like something you would do.

nah, it's not mine. I wish it was. that sucker sounds great, and keeps up with 3 idmaxs IB'd easily.
