walling the explorer, sub rec's?

[Ryan shaw 10+ year member]

finally going to wall the explorer i think, behind the c pillar so enough room for about 14 cubes after port displacement. going to tune in the sub 30hz region, probably between 28-29.

for subs i'm considering the following

2 21" ia wardens

2 18" tc 5400's

4 dc xl 15"

12 10" dc level 2's

open to anything else as well

guessing you don't have a budget? The 21" wardens would be nice

the 12 10's would be a nice cone area build

I think I would keep it simple with either the wardens or the 5400s. Those wardens would absolutely destroy your explorer.

2 wardens? If you got the cash then do that.

You already have 4 18's...why not use those?

 

[Ryan shaw 10+ year member]

only have 2, never got all 4 in at the same time.

wardens are definitely the most appealing option. but with the extra xmax on the 5400's they technically have more displacement, also the lms technology puts out a lot of motor force on the low notes. not to familiar with the warden motor.

box for both of these will be about 14 cubes with 280 sq inches of port, enough port area?

I was always under the assumption that wardens were spl woofers and not really meant for daily, someone correct me if I'm wrong here.

think they were designed as spl subs, but do fine for daily.

they have a fairly tight gap but reasonable to play music. also, the fs on the 21 is sub 30 hz i think with a high qts

id wall your 5200's or the 2 18 5400s....but then again im a tc nut hugger

 

[Ryan shaw 10+ year member]

the 5200's are a possibility. but i think they need a smaller box than what i can give them. and they wouldn't have the low output that the others would

warden's have one of the strongest motors out there

not as strong as the 4hp's i currently have though lol. I'm just hoping they have a little more musicality and force down below 35 hz. i was reading up on how the flux is transferred through the motor and it sounds like a pretty efficient design for constant motor force. unlike say a 99z that has all the force at a target peak, but it still seems inferior to the lms technology, but 21"...

I guess I should of said "out of motors still being produced"

lol
