Elemental Designs ED 13Kv.2 ChrisFish

what will mine do? will it be that loud?

 

I can 2nd the motion. the box electro designed was 50 times better than my 1st box.

 

oh ya cccullen is your system finally loud enough to rip your dick off?

 

it was pretty loud, my wipers would jump a little. lol

I took the system out cuz i'm trying to sell my car now. so no bass in my car anymore... it sucks but i gotta get rid of my truck, the prices on them here are really going down fast so it's time to find another car. hopefully, if my expy ever gets sold, there's a BMW 528i waiting for my. i'll put my system in that.

 

then it will be time to try a different box!

 

and i can't wait to try another box!!! that's the fun part! lol

 

Well hey now Electrolytic.....

first off, I totally appreciate all of your work. I'm sure that box would be LOUD ! And I could very easily build it spot on, to what you have shown. In fact, I've saved a link to this thread.....

A few things to come to mind though;

1) A few less DB's for 10hz lower frequency would probably be okay with me.

2) I'm wondering if, by having a much larger port area (ED's vented enclosures have 39 sq inches of port ! (3" x 13") ....if this would help to retain some of that power, but still get a little lower too ?

Hmmmmmmm......................

Peace,
Fish

 

Hey Electrolytic.....

I'd like to say > yes, 30 hz..... as that's what ED says the design posted on their site is tuned to, plus as I have said, I tend to lean towards a bit lower, and not quite as loud anyway.... But then again I'm not sure if the ED box is really closer to 33 hz, and if they are just figuring in for the cabin gain situation ???

If you don't mind, try this....

Go here; http://www.reaudio.com/speaker_box/LPort_Box_Calc.html

And plug these numbers into the adjustable spaces > 29", 16.75", 16", 20", 1", 2.75", 8.5"

This design sticks pretty closely to ED's numbers, only jumping from ED's 2.8 cubes, to 3, and from ED's 39 sq in port area, to 40.56, and from ED's (supposed) 30hz tuning, to 33hz.

.........or, you can change that last number (the 8.5") to 16", and this will lower the tuning from 33hz, to 30hz.

Also, anything you want to run through your program, I totally appreciate that too. No matter what I end up going with, I'm really getting into the comparisons.

Much thanks again,
Fish
