SoloX-15 6th blowthru

I had some really talented people build this for me. This was a culmination of a childhood dream. I just feel like I should be able to get more out of it. But, I'm probably wrong. I'm relearning everything again.

What size subs... 15s or 12s? It looks like a 4th I think. Hard to be certain from the pics. I see "Warhorse" engraved into the acrylic.
Nice clean work for sure man. Expectations are hard to meet sometimes.

When you say more can you elaborate?
Lows, beats or just overall?

It is a 4th. They are 15's powered by 4 Kicker Warhorse 3600.s They did a really good job. I'm upgrading to lithium so that should help. It may just be my expectations. I feel like it would have been a little louder. It's loud, but not as windy at the windows like your video.

I just modeled up a 4th that I'd use for your 4 15s on your power if I had the money, space and inclination. I must say I would be smiling but don't really have a vehicle in mind even if I wanted to.
11ft3 sealed/16.5ft3 vented /w/ about 290in2 of port tuned to sealed side resonance (45.71hz). It would be one big chunk of bass and I'm having trouble envisioning it... lol

How do you determine tuning (And I really don't want to hijack) of a box when you initially work it out? It there an hz goal or do the dimensions end up determining most of it? I have no idea what mine is tuned to, I'll probably ask now.

I try to get a 43-48hz resonance sealed side depending on goals & that coupled with the sealed/vented ratio determines how it'll peak in vehicle. Some subs are pretty much incompatible with a 4th imo and ebp is a good way to tell. If you have to make the sealed side 5ft3 for a 10" sub to get to 48hz you probably have a hi-ebp sub.

Those SoloX's model-up nice in a 4th, but for my tastes it would be have to be an extremely large blowthru. Heck the vent into the cabin would need be like 9.5" x 30.5" port area for the enclosure I typed about in my last post.

Those are big box subs and take big power, but should give some big results.
 
NICE BP6S build!

My ex 1996 Ford Ranger SuperCab and current home theater sub.

This is a photo 1 of 2 SoloX Kicker coils after 6 songs hard clipped with a JP63 wired .5 nominal on strong electrical. I did warn him 4" coils minimum would be better suited to his abuse as he's all knobs to the right when he gets that bug. But Kicker guys nuthug hard... no shade thrown btw... it is what it is and his bux.

The user was stuck in a freeway backup and sent it hard while ignoring the smells, "oh well" he said because he wants to redo it and get some of his bed back. he metered almost 155db with this thing at one point before he slagged the coils... lol. 154.7db I hear.

SoloX-12's next... less bed used and some output lost but it should be 152ish with 2-12's, Imo thats not bad #'s. So... another Bp6 is going to be built soon.
