Sub Help

nice set up
you can probably make it flatter to give you some more space, as flat as the magnet depth will allow. also having a custom box made would probably be best.

 

A clamshell isobarik design is one way to go. not my favorite desgn, but it does work. essentially figure out what one speaker needs for a sealed volume, say its 1.5 cubic feet. now, divide that in half, you get .75 cubic feet. buid a box that size. then mount the drivers face to face, one driver basket will be in the box, the other will be on the front of it with the basket exposed.

Otherwise, just go with one sub in a vented enclosure,
Or maybe just go with smaller drivers,
Or maybe get a newer bigger car! LOL!

 

I wouldnt suggest just cranking the amp up if you build a smaller box...go to the jl site and learn how to set it correctly

 

When in doubt, use an Oscilliscope, thats the only real way to set gains...

 

Eh yeah. I'm wondering who told this guy to buy all that high end stuff. Cuz. that's like 3 g's worth of audio and video stuff. and. really.. who has that money? I mean who has that and just buys stuff on impact.. oh wait. are you rich and stupid? haha jk, at least you didn't buy 3 g's worth of CRAP! JL and Eclipse are my two ALLTIME fav manufactuers. how do you like the head unit.. i want the same one.. sooooo bad... lol

 

May I humbaly ask how much?

 

put it in the backseat...lol

 

very good deal...**** the 1000/1 alone costs about that

 

****, REALLY good deal.

 

Basically..isobaric loading is clamshelling the subs face to face...changing the parameters and sh!t like that and halving the internal box volume required

 

I explained the basics to that in the fthird post to your origainal question

 

iso baric boxes are not used much anymore because the subs today all work well in small enclosures already.and isobaric boxes take lots of power. not a good idea anymore . great idea when 1 10 inch sub needed 3 cu ft sealed

 

1 10 incher with 3 cubic feet!!!!!!!!! I will assume you meant POINT 3 cubic feet!!!!! LOL!!!!



I really dont like Isobarik designs, tthey have never sounded "right:" to me. I think its due to the fact that the coupled subs have a combined mms that is greater and hinders the transient response, especially at the higher sub bass frequencies.....YA, i KNOW THERE IS TWICE THE FORCE THROUGH THE 2 SETS OF VOICE COILS!!!! but the end result in my opinion leads me to believe that the sound is lees than audiophile quality, in critical listening.... man have I wasted some time doing some critical listening all these years!!!!! LOL, could have been drinking beer or chasing women!!!!!!

 

Why not both Viking??? Chase women while drinking beer????

 

no if you remember the old kicker subs that were black and gold and the stitching would come apart or the rockfords they all needed huge enclosures. isobaric never did much for mr i did one 8 8w3 jl old 8w3 like 1994 and it sounded ok. but i just did not like it.
