Sound system upgrade

[_S7V7N_]

You going to purchase a prefabricated box ? You may save more money just getting a custom box built if you know anybody with the knowledge and skill to build one. Unless you have the tools yourself. I'm pretty sure if you posted the specs of your speakers, somebody could put together some measurements and port lengths , as a matter of fact a simple google search can send you in the right direction on what to look for as far as calculating what size box you need. That way if you're gonna buy a prefabed box you'll know what kind of sound to expect out of it.

Good luck with finding a new one.

Look in my thread, post # 758 it's all about how to design your subwoofer box...

Also I believe Pioneer includes guides for all 3 type of boxes, sealed, ported and bandpass.

Thanks Derick for the info....

I had my BandPass replaced at my local audio shop....they had told me it would support a lot of power but ...it didnt.....

They gave me another one...it's the same....but I tune my sub into the max....and the plaxiglas hasn'T broken yet....AND

IT IS SO FUCK*** LOUD

I was tuning my system in my car....and my father asked me to put it less loud...i said...i'm doing some checkup but I wasnt ahha it's always going to stay like that :D

*wringing hands*

Sqcomp is probably talking about the Legatia L8's I would love to have them in the kick panels like he does... but maybe in a bigger car, and they are not cheap either $

I wonder when is your package going to arrive? I hope it gets there soon; let me know

Actually no...

We're talking subs in this discussion. Legatia L8's are mid bass speakers. I've got something else in mind that would RAWK your socks off...and it's probably the beefiest 8" woofer you've ever seen.

I know that it's the loudest 8" I've ever heard.

We had two teenagers audition them the other week and they commented "what do you have in the back? Two 12's?"

It was great, we didn't even answer, we smiled and said, take a look at this. They walked back and you really should have paid admission for the look they gave! They actually tried to call bull$hit, thinking we were hiding another sub somewhere.

Needless to say, we put the same sub with the enclosure in their hatch and it was sold right then and there. The sweet thing is that the 8" even in the vented enclosure is really small. I could stack 4 if not 6 of them in my trunk and pull upwards of 150 dB if not higher with my limited power (900 Watts). I can tell you that they don't sound as good as my ML3800 but damn they're loud!

Derick, what package are you talking about?

Derick, what package are you talking about?

But,... aren't you going to tell us what 8" sub is that?

I remember 10 years ago, I did a bandpass box with a 8" Pioneer subwoofer... I took it to the car-audio store where I got the woofer and they bought the box and woofer back from me, just because it was so good (loud) and they wanted to show it in their audio room.

Sqcomp... don't worry the package it's for packetrace! going to Canada.

Good,
I was a little worried, I guess sending stuff to Canada is not as hard as sending stuff south!

It has one of them C clips if you have the manual windows, i just used a rag but i'm sure the auto parts store has the right tool for it.

[derickveliz2]

This is what you have to do...




This is the clip to be removed




and / or you can buy this
