My Midbass Plans!!!

You got it

I always post pics so that people don't think I'm a lying SOB


The 2 18" SX's in my rear seat (well where it used to be ) in my new (new to me that is) thunderbird should be here soon and I'll get to work on the enclosure.

Probably middle March the kicks and components will be installed. The subs come first..... 2 18" SXs off of 2400 watts in a half fiberglass enclosure (around 11 cubes).

then the pods..... My pod idea is gorgeous btw

 

This is a pretty majorly loud sub setup. I want loud ass comps so I can still enjoy music

2 AV8s per side.... crazy? <_<

Nah....

But I'm still looking into some options right now.... so far of all the setups I've graphed the dual AV8s are the loudest.... I might just go with 1 AV8 in a 1 cube pod ported, but we'll see.....

I'm also considering 2 Dayton Aluminum 7" for only $17 a piece. 4.2 mm one-way and they like small ported stuff.....

hmmmm :blink:

 

/hehehe

After looking at confusious's remarks on the DD midbass, I was thinking how about 2 DD 6.5s per side? ported like at 55 hz in 1 cube?

Or would one a side give crazy enough midbass

 

Thanks seth... After graphing it the DD w6.5 doesn't hold up against other choices.

I was told to make a door pod for the mid, and have the kick pod for the midrange and tweet. Is this ideal for a 3 way setup?

I realized I'm dropping a lot from my orginial plan.

The problem is the more I look at it the more expensive it seems. The PL 10" wasn't that much, but then I started looking at high sensitivity drivers and such.

I graphed the Koda earlier and it gave a fantastic response for a small ported door pod, and got similarly loud as a dual DD6.5 setup....

I'm still deciding... Dual Kodas per side will be expensive

 

Yea I'm trying to remember that

I can work with that setup but a single driver is all I can go with then if I'm building door pods.

graphing the koda next to the PL 10" yields the same output above 90 hz. With the PL going lower (flat into the 50s) I can deal with a single Koda I guess... It'll like a smaller box anyway....

I'm disappointed now I can't have a big ass midbass....

Would it sound bad to have the midrange and tweet in a door pod? I really want a dual midbass setup or big midbass setup in kickpods

Thanks again Seth

 

Alright...

After reading PointSource's comments on the RMB8 Kicker's mid, I'm really considering them. (he said "they are really really really loud") I can't find any T/S specs for them so I can't graph them next to the Koda.

I'm pretty much dropping the dual Koda/AV8/DD6.5 idea. It's down to either the Koda in .3 cubes ported or the RMB8 in a similar box.... both are cheap enough.... both go low enough.... both would get 100 watts. which would be louder and which would sound better?

Thanks Seth in advance

 

Also add the CX62 from ID to that list....

 

I wish I had the money to try both....

But I've gotten great feedback on the RMB8 from Tracy and Pointsource. The ID's are out based on what people have said (no pronounced midbass). I finally got the T/S specs on the RMB8 and it graphs rather peaky in the ported box I was using. The Koda has a great flat response, but the RMB8 gets 4 db louder at the lower frequencies when both are in "ideal" small boxes (.2 for Koda and .5 for RMB8 both tuned to 50 hz)

The RMB8's are only $110 shipped new per PAIR. So I'll try them out... If I'm disappointed I'll step up to the Kodas

Thanks once again seth for helping me figure this shit out. Come to Charlotte I'll buy ya dinner
