Coil Configs

you are a sick, sick man! ban?

 

Sorry if this seems choppy. The SI guys deserve to have their space, and this intruding on it is just not right. I had to split the topic.

Continue here on the coil cofigurations, and leave the SI thread be what it is

Thanks fellas

 

Peter,

If you are really after SQ and want to feel the song, a Shiva with 400W will do it for you - low to mid 130s are well above what's needed. Sell you sub amps, buy a lower power amp, and get some really nice components up front. You'll have great SQ, and plenty of volume for an SQ setup (there is a reason all the major sanctioning bodies cap out SPL scores in the SQ competition at 135 dB). If you insist on using your 2400W of power per driver, you might as well admit that you're really after SPL.

As far as using most of the SPL potential of Brahmas, you'd be within a dB or so of peak. For an SQ-oriented person, that's a non issue. If you really want that last dB, you are in fact an SPL guy. Drop the concept of sealed boxes, go with big vented boxes, and blast it.

Basically, you're asking for max SPL, but keep insisting you are an SQ guy at heart. Which is it?

Thank you, that's what I've been trying to communicate to him for weeks!

Hopefully, if enough people say it... :lol:

 

Yes! Let me consult the oracle...

<gazes into crystal ball>

You are venturing towards building a high-end SQ system...
But something in you can't let go of the past...
Frustrated that most people can't be impressed by a SQ system...
Must.... have... boom.... system...
Oh, the vision is fading... fading...

:no:

 

oh no that was the smoke from my cig, sorry i will put it out and read it again

 

Oh, I don't know....

Now the oracle is just saying "basshead"...
