You can be petty and mark me negative all you want, you need grow up.

 

Exactly what I suspected, no proper install so what do you expect?

Sounds like you speak of just opinions and not experiences. I been using raw drivers made for home audio as well for years and better than their car audio counterparts.

Maybe I'm wording my explanation wrong but I assure you I have had many, many, systems. But they where made for cars I didn't turn my doors into speaker boxes and all that like you guys do now. I'm old school in my day we usually had 2 amps one for subs one for components that we placed in factory locations. We always used rows of battery banks instead of HO Alts because back then they where rediculously expensive and hard to come buy. I started like a lot of kids in the early 90's with a set of W1's in small sealed boxes and pretty quickly moved up to 3 12w6v1's ran off Phoenix gold M100 and had the M50 on my infinity cappa components. Then I went for a b pillar wall with 4 15" L7 kicker squares ran off 4 ZX2500 amps in a Z28 with a hatch full of optima yellow tops we had to charge every night before going cruising. I also had 2 death penalty 15"s ran off a US2000x in a trunk car and I have always just used factory locations for component speakers with the tweeter aimed at my ear. When I got back into it a couple of years ago I did the same thing with my avenger I use a mono block to run my sub and replaced all the factory speaker locations and added a second battery in the back. Basically you guys still use the same method of sub stage we did but have switched to running active house speakers on your front stage with no rear's. But even still I don't see many audio shops doing it your guys way most still just replace the factory's for automotive components and through some bass in running passive is this because it's so much easier or cheaper or what?

Don't be negative and call me a liar and I want give you bad rep. I never said one ill word to anyone I explained we just never tried it and you say I have never had a system I'm just guessing. I wasn't implying anything I'm sure installed properly these house speakers do sound better no doudt I just ain't never tried it.

And...another one bites the dust! The off-topic section needs a "silly banter" thread for people to go post all this nonsense elsewhere.

You left out the word uneducated in front of the kids.  I competed with home audio drivers in the 80's.  

As for your last question about audio shops, that answer is simple.  They are typically full of uneducated people who have zero idea about audio and are paid to make a quick sale and not actually help a customer.

And here is exactly what I'm talking about. ^ He always has to toss in the little insult "uneducated", of course we where uneducated we where kids, where you born with a PHD nope you where not. Let me ask you a question M5 can you take a blue print and build a bridge from the river bottom up because I can and does it make you ignorant because you don't hold a degree in every field out there like bridge design? Now would I be polite calling you ignorant because of this fact no I wouldn't cause nobody knows everything unless he walked on water and is named Jesus.

I hope everyone understands, the Evil6.5 is not a rebadge/copy or a basic car audio or PA style driver. 

They are MY approach to a sound quality mid that is flexible for both home and car, that can hang with drivers double the price.

I was just about to ask that very question. Good to know I might have to try a set on a active set up since everyone says there better.

That's a badass description for the evil 6.5. Props.. I'm in for a pair now that you mentioned this.

I am quite pleased so far. I have not had the time for a solid tuning session yet.

When you do, could you post up a vid? I know the audio may not do them justice but a little demo would be cool!:dj:

      Well, well, well, Look what the cat dragged in. super surreal to be back on the forum after pretty much a friggin decade.
       
      it’s nice to see most of y’all are still active here! Here’s the current build in the works for my 2005 forester.
      Plan/currently installed:
      -6.5 door upgrades (2 evil 6.5 up front paired to some evil tweets|2 coaxial alpine typeS in rear doors. Most likely going to make custom crossovers for the front)
      -1 Sundown Sax100.4 
      -Sound deadening on the inner door skins removed all plastic lining on door skins aswell.
      -old ass pioneer Bluetooth double din head unit from 2012
      On the way to me:
      -1 SSA Evil 15” woofer d1 probably running on a half ohm to whatever amp I decide on.
      -Amp TBD and Currently taking suggestions(3-400 target price range)
      -1 ported enclosure tuned to roughly 30-31hz
      objective of this build is to be a SQ monster with the capability to be Very LOUD and lots of pressure.
      I got this car in a trade and have had to do a few maint repairs to it. But this is exactly the build I was thinking about when looking for this car. So I’m suuuuper stoked and have been brewing this build up for a while now. Feel free to ask questions and leave feedback on whatever!! 
       
      Feels good to be back!!

      I recently purchased a SSA Evil 18in sub, and a 3k rms amp. my first ever real set up so im pretty new to car audio. but i have a question and in need of advice. when i turn up the volume it almost sounds like the subwoofer is bottoming out or making a clicking noise. is this normal or do i need to lower the power on it. or  is there more to it than just that?

      Hi guys,
      Just got the third 18 in this week and we are starting a new build in a 2002 Chevy Suburban. We've got a TON of room as we're going to go up to the B pillar. We're using 3 SSA Evil 18" subs on 3 Linear Power 2250 amplifiers which should be at 2500w ea (maybe a touch more at 15.8v we will be running with dual alts/batts etc). I've modeled these subs till my head hurts and I've asked a few people for opinions on the enclosure and gotten quite a mixed result.
      The most popular opinion has been a 4th order using 3 to 3.5 cu ft ea sealed and 9 to 10.5 cu ft ported...modeling looks best to me at 3.5 and 31.5 cu ft with a 30x17.25 port  (roughly 90% of total Sd) Gives me a port velocity around 20m/s at peak but the low end of the output suffers a little in the model. 
      I've built literally thousands of boxes but only a few walls and honestly I'm not sure how it will perform considering the smaller cabin space in front of the box. Our ultimate goal is a reasonably musical response with as much output in the hair trick range as possible. Doesn't have to play into the teens and doesn't have to do 160s at 55hz but would like it to be a demo monster and play music. 
      With that in mind I've also modeled a 6th order and ported walls and come up with a better looking curve...I have only done a few 6th orders and never anything nearly this large. Most of mine have been 1:1ish depending on modeling but this one seems to work out better at 18 rear tuned to 24hz and 25 front tuned to 50hz. 
      Has anyone here done a band pass with these subs in a very large vehicle like this? Or would anyone be willing to take a look at the numbers on these subs and see if you might have a better idea on the band pass design for them? I've seen quite a few vids of 4th orders and I know a few people using 4ths but haven't heard them. Considering our goals and the relatively low power I want to take advantage of all that airspace :-)
      Subwoofers in question, number of subwoofers & subwoofer size: SSA Evil 18D2 Amplifier being used, specifically the model number. Linear Power LP2250  Fabrication skill level: Expert (27 years building and competing) Preferred material to be used (i.e. MDF, fibreglass, etc) MDF multi layer Vehicle which the subwoofers will be used in: 2002 Chevrolet Suburban  Musical preferences: Demoing at shows, pop, some rap and Dub and a LOT of Rock/classic Rock System goals: Primarily fun at shows and parking lots. Demoing low tones and musical Previous subwoofers you have used, and their installation particulars: many many many brands types of installs over 27 years List any research you have previously done: Youtube vids of these particular subs and others with 3 18s as well as comparable subs, checked with other builders and searched here for band pass and threads on these subs.
