ravishingrocket Posted May 14, 2013 Report Share Posted May 14, 2013 You assume correctly. Know the dimensions of your amp? How much extra room is in there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wannabang Posted May 15, 2013 Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 Dingo, how good does yours sound? I assume better, but I'm skeptical since the box isn't wood, ported, or big... I've contemplated removing the whole stock sub, since I have my own, but without hearing a wooden box back there, which undoubtedly can't be ported due to space, I wouldn't go with anything short of sealed boxes under the floor, but that's just me. I have a 15" in a 4 cu.ft. box ported to 30 hz... obviously we had different goals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dingo Posted May 15, 2013 Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 Mine sounds amazing for what it is. Those last 4 words were important. I'm currently thinking about adding 16 more subs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wannabang Posted May 15, 2013 Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 I'm not sure if that's sarcasm... I wouldn't put it past a lot of the guys on SSA's audio forum. I've been contemplating eights under the floor just to occupy my time. If I end up keeping the stock sub this summer, I think I'll try making the box out of wood. I really need to spend some time EQing, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted May 15, 2013 Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 Not sarcasm. Thinking about 16 3" subs. What are you using to map out the acoustics for this project, Dingo? Distribution amp? Auxiliary power? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dingo Posted May 15, 2013 Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 These are the ones I'm considering: http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?partnumber=264-909 I'll be using an abacus... I spent 13 years as an engineer. I'm sure I can figure it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted May 15, 2013 Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 These are the ones I'm considering: http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?partnumber=264-909 Haven't seen such small subs before, so find it fascinating. I wonder if the sensitivity is low here due to the size or the design? You'd almost be forced to run a solid state amp to meet the power requirements on budget, at least in home audio. Cool beans! Look forward to hearing more details Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wannabang Posted May 15, 2013 Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 I really want you to go through with that. I'm too accustomed to seeing 4 or 6 15"s or a couple 18s. Seems like you could keep it relatively compact, as well. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I spent 13 years as an engineer. I'm sure I can figure it out. Ooohh...I love PE...all my home audio speakers came from there; I have 2 separate systems of mostly Dayton audio drivers...My favorite is my sub table with a ported 12 that is sooo stealthy...or no wait, maybe it's my 2 15s for the low end of my home theater...I've spent way too much money there...even experimented with a couple micro systems using the ND65 and built a battery powered bluetooth connected amp to push them, very portable and decent sound for it's size...but I digress That will be an interesting build you have planned!

ravishingrocket Posted May 19, 2013 Report Share Posted May 19, 2013 Will a 10" sub fit into the stock box without modifying the opening? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wannabang Posted May 20, 2013 Report Share Posted May 20, 2013 I mean... It's currently an 8", so I'm not sure how you'd put a 10" in without modifying it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyle12345 Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 Dingo , I've ordered the sub and amp aswell as lc, just wondering where you tapped that into? Pictures would help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dingo Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 No offense, but I'm not pulling all that plastic any time soon. What do you need to know, specifically? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyle12345 Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 Well I'm doning the install tonight, I just need to know where you ran the line converter to wich wire?, subwoofer hooks up via original stock 2 wires, amp runs to batter then ignition wire for power on, but the line convert whee is that ran to?

ravishingrocket Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 Stock box (heavily modified,) an Lc2i, a Boston sub, and a Boston amp. Does the Lc2i get hooked up to the door speakers or only the amp/sub? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
