I am looking at either 6 06'RE Audio XXX 18's, 6 Soundstream XXX-18's, or building my own subs from scratch. What I must have: More than my current 30mm Xmax, 40mm Xmech, more than 11 for a Bl ( my subs are custom dual 4 ohm so I believe 8 layer and a touch more Bl than the single 4....as per website for s2 and s4... " Bl: 8.43 N/A | 11.8 N/A" ) A standard 3.5" p-p 1/2 roll surround will not gain any excursion. I am NOT looking to gain any output from gain in Bl and/or efficiency! So BTL/BL/Q... SMD/HAVOC/Mayhem... Maelstrom-X.. all will be ignored. I can get the Soundstream XXX's refurbed for 1/2 the cost of authorized internet RE Audio new. I may order coils, plates, pole pieces, double surrounds, basket, etc... and build my own. What I have and will NOT change: 50 cubic feet, 20" diameter port 18" long for a 23Hz tune. 4 AP30001D's and electric to back them. LP 31.5Hz 30dB slope, HP 22Hz 30dB slope. Don't like it? please don't post. It's not for your car, it's not for what you like or want, it's not for what's "right" or "wrong" or could or should be done. I know 99% of all posts will be "do this instead" and "youre retarded" and thats fine, I simply ignore them and let you have your fun accomplishing whatevber you get out of taking your time to read all this mumbo jumbo, taking the time to click reply, taking the time to type **** I am going to just skip anyway. Those of you who take it seriousely, think outside the box, and at least attempt to help: THANK YOU, much respect!
Is there a benefit to running 4 AP's instead of something like the Phoenix Gold "the one" or maybe the Kicker warhorse? It would be easier on the wiring, I was just wondering.
all three plots using Linkwitz HP 22Hz LP 32Hz excursion plots, bringing power up until Xmax is reached red 50 cubic feet 23Hz tune. power 49000 watts green 50 cubic feet 32Hz tune. power 20000 watts Note that at 32Hz, the red is at its peak excursion while green is at its least, and that greens "high side of the impedance saddle" excursion is still very little, as expected. Going from 23Hz to 32Hz is inverted. Whole different ball game. same as above but included 55 cubic feet sealed, yellow, port takes up 5 cubic feet. 20000 watts.
NO idea, Im guessing Im getting 1000 before clipping. I need 2 more alts and 2 more batts! some more junk we did on the side today: talking him into selling his prefab and going single slot port down the side, along the back the batmobile! a lotta work ahead: Subway:eat fresh!
i've read they will do rated with enough voltage, or at least very close to it. 2800ish is what a friend told me. he had 2 of them. he has since sold them and went to another brand so he can wire lower than 2 ohms.
i been gettn ready to make a new thread on getting d2 or d 4 RE XXXs.. if i keep voltage up, can I go 1 ohm? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ZqQzuNgkGo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ESVABe7qIqM http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bhWSpUoL-S4
oh damn, good to know! I already started a new thread im puttn on all forums, i may as well still post it... its asking if I can, I believe you..but its also to quiet some arguments Ive created to show Ive made up my mind and IM GOIN RE AUDIO XXX 18S! YEAH!
those amps are already 2 1500's wired together in one huge case. they dont like anything lower than 1 ohm each. some one mentioned THE ONE from PG..... as nice as it is, it's 6 grand new. i know thats out of the question, as it's a budget breaker for sure. for around 550 each tho crecendo makes a 3k amp thats .5 ohm stable and will do close to 4 or more at 16v. but will still pump out power @ 12v. i know a few of my friends with their 3k and 4ch amps. they do well on the meters. http://www.crescendoaudio.com/home.php?cat=

im not going to pretend to know a lot about subs, but those look like they are beasts. i know what mine are doing with 600 each in a not exactly to spec enclosure. and a teammate of mine runs MT's i think and i love the sound of those.. here i'll show you a pic of his install. its very nice and his truck just sounds fantastic! all RE BTW... even the mids and highs.. i say go for it. i know they will sound great.
