SQL woofer

[fly_marlin]

So you're saying adjusting my eq will enable my sub to have better transitions from bass guitar to kick drum? I've adjusted the slope like you said. Didn't have time to put any rock music on but I will tomorrow morning.
My last setup didn't even have an eq. It was a 12inch sub vs 10, but it still sounded better. Same amp, right now using a kicker 750, trying to buy an amp off the classifieds here for more power. These seems just as loud as ssd. Just doesn't sound as good for rock music. I'll try messing with the eq some more...

EQ would be part of it. People can knock on soundqubed all they want. For every person knocking on it, there will be 10 saying they're awesome woofers. I mean cscstang himself runs a soundqubed woofer. My friend has an HDS312 in a custom box built for it in a 2007 mustang running close to 2kW on it. It sounds amazing. You HAVE to have good power for good SQ, you'll also notice it playing tighter and faster. Wish you lived closer, I'd be happy to have my friend demo his car for you. Don't jump the gun and start buying everything. NoLoud4U himself has like 1.5kW on his 10" and it's a setup geared toward sound quality. I also have a similar setup, but with 2 12s and you can see what I'm running on them.

If you're getting a new amp anyway, wait for that to get in first. Aim for something around 1.7kW on that thing, it'll do wonders for you. Once you get it, adjust the EQ. I was in the same boat as you when I ran soundqubed q1-1200d on my woofers and I hated the sound. What happened when I put an amp that's almost twice the power? it played tighter, faster, and dug much lower.

I don't care what anyone says, SQ woofers are great, though may not be for everyone - as with most things. You've got a great woofer, I'm sure you have the right box, you just need more power and probably some light EQ.

Doesnt rms power have effect over dampening and thus sq?

 

[fly_marlin]

Yes, a more powerful amplifier should be able to better control the woofer.

I honestly think you are asking for too much. Rap AND rock? I dont think so. The dq def is a noise maker and thats it. Cscstangs box is. Wicked on metal i love that thing but on rap and lows it lacks. Your asking for the perfect woofer which is what i wanted because my music library is LITERALLY everything you can think of 120gbs of music from practically every country lol. You just gotta decide what you prefer flexing lows, or chest crunching bass.

What?




I'm not just starting out bud. I've been through the forum boners.

Not to bad for a nuthugging newb that is clueless is it.

Thanks, loved it till I had to sell it. Car wasn't worth jack ****. I got 5 grand under KBB because it was all hacked up.

So thats your whip? You got a 6.5 for mid range+8 in woofer for midbass and the tweeter up high. Hm. Did you build a box inside the door to separate the waves/interference? Have you thought of that? with your speaker placement like that. Whats the soundstage like.

We can really clean up this forum if we just stop taking sh*t so personally. If someone bashes you...leave it alone. If may be interesting for the next 2 minutes, but no one searching for useful info 2 yrs from now will care about it.

That car was torn down and sold last August.

The mid range was in a sealed pod. Stage was very good except I had the drivers tweeter that would pull to the left at times. I never did get it fixed.

The midrange was in a pod in the door. With what .2cuft? since you had it playing only midrange. shouldnt have too much excursion and thus okay to have that small of an area. Neat set up. Pulling should be fixed by time alignment. My left tweeter has some reflections that puts the singer right in front of me with the help of time alignment. I got lucky with that. Im not sure how people get the wide stage effect. My stage begins and ends at my sail panels.

It wasn't T/A issue. That would have been a easy fix. It was intensity in a EQ band the 80prs didn't have.

What?

In that video u say u went from dc audio to dd audio. Is that why you like DD so much? Because it's better then ur dc woofers u had?

SSA icon and gcon are on sale right now......

What?

Op has a $300 budget not $5000

 

 

 

Yea it can be done but off loads of power

I remember DD had the 9100 series line which was a SQ driver. Funky motors on them, if you could find one might be worth picking up. I've never used SSA subs so I can't compare them to anything. Heard a few nice FI subwoofers in my friends car. And that car plastered with company stickers is a way to have stuff stolen. Free advertising of audio gear.
