SPL & SQ / Fabrication

The title says it all. What are the risks running in Iso-Baric with these large excursion drivers?

Just wondering what you guys think the best programs for simulatiing frequency response, SPL, and similar things, especially for in car or in room calculations. I have WINisd now, alpha and beta, but they both yield problems on my computer for some reason and I can't seem to figure it out. The programs seem pretty easy to use, maybe I just haven't explored these enough. What do you use, does it cost anything, ease of use, knowledge required, different features....

im gonna make some kick pods using my old kickpanels in my truck, but i saw a guy on here once making them with 1/4 inch mdf for the mounting plate, and then the rest was foam filler which he resined and glassed directly on top of that then wrapped them in vinyl. is this a good idea, or stick to the regular all glassed way?

Right now this is my setup and trying to see what class I would be in in db drag and others.. Subs:Mass destruction napalm 12"s x 2 Sub amp: Sound Stream xxx-6500d 1 ohms Front and Rear Speakers: PG zx-450 Also what DB range should I be looking at with this setup or DB class. I don't have a TL and have not tested it as I just got it all installed today.. I plan to go to my first comp here in the next month or so would just like to know what to expect.. Thanks

I have a visonik 12" woofer, that came from this set: http://ep.yimg.com/ip/I/millionbuy_2051_58365261 I am looking for some dimensions for a box, I intend to build it my self. I am planning low tuned, and ported. it will be in my room for the time being, so i would say slot ported, to ~28-32hz. size isn't an issue. And, it certainly wouldn't hurt to recieve a few tips for a first time builder.

Hey guys wondering if anybody local to Richmond IN has some spare pieces of mdf laying around im just needing a piece 37.25X12.75 and dont want to buy a whole sheet let me know if you can help me out

Since I'm only on my phone right i can't really use any software to design a box. If you could just give me the cut out measurments that would be great. Maybe a picture of what it might look like. Tuned to 30hz Demensions 32Lx20Wx16H If possible I want the port in the middle with a board separating the the two. So the subs each have there own chamber. All help is appreciated.

Hi there wonder what's yr opinion about such setup: 2 x 8" by AudioPulse (Epic D2) questions: 1. go sealed or ported? 2. how big should be the box to achieve lower frequency response (~32hz)? 3. will this setup be enough efficient to shake my car or it's better to go with 2x10" ? thx

Well I've almost got enough saved up for a fully loaded 18" btl. I have a 2003 extended cab s10 this will be going in. My maximum dimensions are 23.5"(h) x 18"(w) x 50"(l). Those are outer dimensions. This will be powered by a Sundown Audio Saz-3000d into 1 ohm :bigclap: . I was wondering if 6 ft^3 would be fine with that much power with 80 in^2 of port tuned to 30 hz.

This is about the best fiberglass walkthrough I've found. My plan thus far is to cut out some holes in the door panels, make some MDF speaker rings, mount them to the door panels with little metal brackets, spread some fabric over it, and put a few layers of resiny fiberglass cloth over it. Sand and repeat, sand again. Am I missing anything?

Box numbers i got off of the RE Audio box calc. I put in the measurements from my trunk and this is what i got out of it. 2004 mitsubishi lancer ralliart, mtx 1501d, ssa xcon 15. sub facing rear, port facing rear. square vent style port width 28.5 box height 16.5 top 22 bottom 24.5 wood thickness .75 mdf braced and reseined port height 15 port width 4 porth length 1 is 18.5 porth length 2 is 12 total port length 37.25 porth diameter is 8.74 square port area 60 sq port internal volumbe 2235 sq port volume displaced 2257.31 box volume ft3 3.79 box volum in3 6551.43 tuned freq is 31.24 is that to low of a tune for a daily spl setup, something the wifey can listen to when …

What is the technical reason why it is BAD to have pressure behind a wall in my truck? -- or any ride at that. Thank you.

I need some input from some SQ guys. It has a factory nav so options would be to swap out the factory headunit with an aftermarket and good equalizers. Or just add equalizers to the factory unit. All highs will be mounted in factory locations. Two eight inch subs will be molded where the back seats are located. The product list includes the following: two pairs Focal K2 power 100 KRS 4 inch components two Focal Utopia 21 Wx 8 inch woofers One Audison VRX 4.300 One Audison VRX 1.500 What would you consider the best way to go, money not being an issue.
