2 BM's in the tiny space behind my Jeep seats...

1kw and 2 12's in a wrangler... HIDDEN!?

solidworks, i also use 3Dmax if needed because the max render algorithm is much better than photoworks that comes with solidworks. but sw is great for the tech drawings and raw engineering. it also has great FEA plug-ins that give you anything from thermal testing, magnetic, stress, strength, all that good stuff.

Agreed. SolidWorks has a very good module set, although I find many folks end up using the FEA pluggins more for civil engineering than anything. Still, it's pretty decent //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I've found that FEA can only take you so far though.

Well, obviously. That's why you use FEA, then test the result and go from there.

I've been trying to figure out how to FEA the Funky Pup... but have yet to find a program powerful enough to handle it.

You did not take it there.

Oh yes... I laughed.

There is no software known to man that can. Rumor is, the only way to FEA or pull T/S from the Funky Pup requires Chuck Norris on acid, an Etch-a-sketch, ET and some Styrofoam balls. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/tongue.gif.6130eb82179565f6db8d26d6001dcd24.gif

And I think that's just to get the T/S's. I've heard that if you end up FEA'ing the Funky Pup you'll create a black hole and destroy the universe.

Brilliant! way to state the obvious you pathetic douche.

Precisely my hopes, but behind the seat of my Sport Trac. Hell, I can fit a second pair if I got real squirrely! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/eek.gif.771b7a90cf45cabdc554ff1121c21c4a.gif

Anyone know how bad it would affect things to have 3 drivers behind the seats, and one downfiring under the seat? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

Going from 3 drivers to 4 drivers with the same amount of power overall will only be a 1.5 dB increase. It would be easier and less costly to stay with 3 drivers instead of 4...especially if one of them has to go in a different part of the vehicle as compared to the other 3.

Solidworks has been around a long time. Because of this, the program has alot of options, like FEA. But their FEA system is rather limited, for an FEA program. I find SolidWorks is rather cumbersome to work with as compared to Inventor. Inventor is much smoother and quicker to work with, especially with large assemblies.

SW has been around alot longer than most of these other programs like Inventor and newer systems. That comes with advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is they've had years and years to create additions to the program, like FEA. The disadvantage is the program itself is based on what is now an old modeling architecture that can be fairly cumbersome, and even frusterating, to use at times.

I got a questions Say I was making a model of a underhung sub or a XBl sub and I wanted to make the top plate small and make the bottem plate larger would it still have the same effect? I've been looking at the new BTL, Xcon, Q and I was wondering if I made the rebate in the bottem plate or centered the coil in the bottem plate would it still work or would I just be wasting my time because of coil to top plate centering? I'm thinking it would just promote botteming out on the sub or wouldnt work right because the coil would cross the mags n top plate to.

^^ i dont follow this, but i'll maybe try and help you understand what the steel does...

the top plate is simply steel that guides flux across an air gap such to couple with a voice coil, i dont know what a bottom plate is... there is a "t-yoke" or poll piece as it is sometimes called which is intended to catch the flux from the top plate (or gap plate) carry the flux back around to the bottom of the magnet but its only job is to do just that - it really has no bearing on under hung vs overhung vs anything else

Im asking if its possible to use a big tyoke n small top plate in a underhung design instead on a small t yoke n a big toplate and would it be the same effect if the xbl rebate was in the tyoke instead of the top plate ill make a drawling when I get home so you'll get a better idea what im sayin. Think about the xcon or new btl motor design but the huge bumped tyoke as the top plate for a underhung or xbl sub

Do you have an idea yet on when the presale or sale of the bm will be available? I am recommending one of these to a guy and was wondering if I could give him an idea of when they will be available.
