pointless challenge

ok, just for fun, i would like to see what everyone can come up with. i may be willing to pay a designer for a real good/interesting design.. i'm really just doing it for something to do for an evening and get fresh ideas. here goes....

what we are working with-

cheap 6" subs from wal-mart, or schucks (idk, a buddy was tossin them out... came in little silver wedge boxes) for sake of arguement, lets call them old-school bottom-line pyramid, or optimus (radio shack)

the goal-

the most efficient box that can produce lower frequencies. i though about just 4th-order, but vented, or whatever looks good. audible in 20-30hz a definate plus. willing to sacrifice any/all in the 120hz+ range

they will get 50w peak x2 off a deck, or cheap 100watter (may test on my directed 150d)

probably donate the box to go in a conventional cab tractor/box truck (semi-truck cab-no sleeper)

have fun

 
yah, i believe this is the specs on them....

Nominal Impedance:..................................................8 Ohms

Frequency Response:.............................................50-6000 Hz

Free Air Resonance (Fs):.............................................50 Hz

Equivalent Air Volume (Vas):................................1.5 ft. (42 I)

SPL:.....................................................92 +/- 2 dB/1W/1m

Moving Mass (Mms):...................................................11.5g

Total Q:...............................................................0.4

Peak Power Handling (enclosed):...................................50 watts

Magnet Weight:....................................................9.77 oz.

Speaker Weight:...................................................32.6 oz.

...and, i have made that much power rattle your brain with a single 8....i'll have to go check the ohms, though....they may be 4ohm

....and this is where it's a challenge..... more of an exercise, lol

 
Me and my buddy have a bunch of mdf laying around and he wants to try to build boxes for some subs he's got laying around. They'll be amp'd tho, but we're just trying to get a grasp on some box building.

 
^^^ for 2 6" subs thats almost ib for those.

just run them freeair and see what they do,

and as far as you making someone brains rattle, with that, unless you have subs that can pull watts out of their pole vent im guessing that you have no idea what loud really is.

 
haha, it wouldn't be a challenge if no one said it couldn't be done.....trust me- i know what loud is........that 8 literally made my brain hurt@200peak. and, it's just an example of what is possible
