Cool I guess, why would you ever want that much bass? It's too much and not really good for anything, especially your ears lol.

ay thats clean. how much them subs run you?

 
Rep Power: 0

well i got the original sub for free then misaligned the cone so i took the basket and cone/coil off of it bought a new basket and a recone for 160 bucks and built it up

so in all it cost 160 bucks

my next one will be close to free if i can just trade the tc9 for a a motor and basket and recone

ditto. video was decent, but there's no point in that much bass unless you're competing. def not good for your ears.

 
Rep Power: 197

before anyone says anything i NEVER have it blasting at redlights or in a neighborhood

 
Rep Power: 197

Rep Power: 197

i got two alpine type s 10's i made me a box.lol and then i got some off brand amp. but i used to have a 720 watt jenson on it. but then i switched to the 1200 watt amp. i think is a legacy? idk lol

how big is the box? and whats it tuned to?

 
Rep Power: 197

its a pretty small box. its bout a foot deep a foot high and wide then long enough to hold both tens and idk.

you should give them about 2.5 - 3cubes ported and it would be alot louder.

heres a good site to build a simple l-slot box(hope it helps):

Rep Power: 197

ah.lol well my box is ported and you know they were louder in a sealed box. but i'll give that a shot. imma try and do that sub box II that was posted on here a while back. and then i'll make it a bigger box and idk if i'll seal it or port it.

 
Rep Power: 0

well i just input your dimensions in that calc and it comes to about 1 cubes, it was louder sealed because your box now is "choking" them

audio is mostly 80% install 20% equipment

 
Rep Power: 197

so you think i should seal the box and give it one cubic foot?lol

 
Rep Power: 0

no i think you should build a bigger ported box, the subs now are moving more air than the box has...kinda lol

 
Rep Power: 197

ok.lol i'll probably make the box a little deeper and then port it different and you think then it should be straight?

 
Rep Power: 0

yah it should louder if the box was a bigger. tune it to about 32hz and it should bang!

 
Rep Power: 197

i dont really understand what you mean by tuning it....sorry.lol how do i do that?

 
Rep Power: 0

tuning is done by varrying the length of the port relative to the size of the box.

if you play with that calculator i posted a couple post up youll see you can change the length of the port to change the frequency.

most prefab boxs are tuned fairly high about the 40's, but most people perfer listening to about 32-35 hz for daily systems.

 
Rep Power: 197

ah thanks i like it loud tho. and i want to shake stuff.lol thats why after a little while im going to get 2 15 inch fi btls. yep thats gonna be expensive.lol

 
Rep Power: 0

i meant 32 hz because it does good on the lows and the highs if it were ported to high you would hear the highs and too low vise versa, not cause its not loud, haha very nice choice on the btl's.

i think if i bought a sub that i didnt build it would prolli be and audiopulse woofer or the new tc sounds line

 
Rep Power: 197

are those good to? do they compair to the btls? or no? lol

 
Rep Power: 0

well 1. their f*ckin sexy 2. they get loud, 3. and have great sq

http://www.audiopulse.com/

the LMS- ultra is what i would get 5000wrms(ftw!)


audiopulse bought out tc sounds a few years ago but just last december tc sounds started making woofers again

 
Rep Power: 197

how much are they? i didnt feel like calling.lol and they are sexy i aint gonna lie. but im feeling the btls i can get them to match them to my paint.lol well the paint imma spray here after a while.lol that and ive seen them in action i couldnt find a video of the ones your talkin bout.
