Posted August 20, 200718 yr Hey guys, I was out at a local SPL 2x Show here and ran my Q 18's Off my JBL BP1200.1 in a 16.8CuFt box Tuned to 25Hz (Its made for LSQ not SPL My highest was a 143.7dB @ 36Hz !! Taking 1st in Street Max 1-2 NWAnd in bass Race I was competing in the semi finals and finished in 3rd with an average of 134.7 in the 139.9 runsIt was awesome, i love these subs they are bottom end beasts...Next show in sept im gonna try an SPL box for em to see how they do tuned higher with more power..I cooked my JBL on the Last run hehehhehe
August 20, 200718 yr do you drive a bus or some chit? jesus, 17 cubes and it looks tiny in that car. i thought they were 15's lol
August 20, 200718 yr yea cant wait to see waht a SPL box and more power will produce congrads on the result man keep it up
August 21, 200718 yr Author Is that an expedition with no rear seats or something? Congrats on the win.Nope its in a 93' Grand Caravan SEBoth back seats Removed, box is huge ,, hehehe the angle makes it look smaller, figure the dimensions are 46" x 25.5" x 35.5"I should have my Directed Viper d2500.1 (2500Watts RMS) fixed for the next show in a 18CuFt box tuned to probably 47HzIm gonna burp these babies good ehehhe, but with the box im running now music just sounds incredible ! Im hoping for 148+ next time
August 21, 200718 yr Author Oh and Scott, Where are the Re-Cones ? hehehhe i still havent gotten them yet ....
August 21, 200718 yr that 2500RMS should prove to be good for ya post up some vids of your setup if you can i love seeing the vids of the system flexin things
August 22, 200718 yr Please give it a couple more days and then I can go and make a claim via the USPS. Normally takes 6-10 business days, but sometimes customs gets cranky. I have had things take over 20. Sorry for the delay, but if they do go MIA, Ill make the claim and get you another set out ASAP.How do they sound in general? 25 Hz is ultra low, but its probably not a bad thing either considering the 1200.1 doesnt have a subsonic filter.

The only pair of subs i have owned that can set off someones house alarm on music with 1200Watts hahahha. Hence the Burp at 36Hz @ 143.7dB'sIm thinking of changin it up a little and making a newer set of boxes, one for SPL and one 15.9CuFt @ 28.5Hz just to make it a little more music friendly on filling in the Hi-Fi sound and shrink the box down its massive haahah.Over all though awesome subs !Scott is it possible that one sub can work in faster then the other ? I dont kow if you have read my other threads about the speakers both working just not in sync like they used to be,, i cant find any air leaks in the box ....Thanks and i'll let you know if those recones dont show up
August 22, 200718 yr NickV where are you located? are you local to where the show was held this weekend? I live literally 10 minutes from that shop... so if you need some help tuning I have been at this for quite a while... U seemed quite excited and into the whole thing... I dont mind helping ppl like you... the ones that whine and cry makes me just ignore them im the one in the blue neon ..its so loud the paint is falling off the drivers door ... just kidding...but hey if u want help just ask Ive been in the car audio industry for 16 years and maybe we can find a sloution to your mysterious subs acting the way they do
August 22, 200718 yr Author The Recones Came today and look to be in good shape Thanks scottJust gotta find out whats up with the subs moving outta phase sorta
August 22, 200718 yr Author yeah i live in toronto but im in mississauga often,, ill definatly be down for test and tune PM me some details
August 23, 200718 yr yeah i live in toronto but im in mississauga often,, ill definatly be down for test and tune PM me some details there is a CSPL show at Peel Audio Video in Brampton... u coming out?and usually before bigger shows we go testing at the costco beside the brick on dundas..its literally one Km from my house
August 23, 200718 yr Author I dont know uf ill be able to make it out to the show today but if i can ill try....They seem to be working better now , maybe working in at different times ?
August 24, 200718 yr Odd... but they could be. I cant seem to find a reason for it though. If you push on them do they feel similar?
August 24, 200718 yr Author Odd... but they could be. I cant seem to find a reason for it though. If you push on them do they feel similar?They feel real similar but this problem worked itself out they move together nicely again.. who knows
August 26, 200718 yr Good job and impressive numbers. Now you'll have even more low bass with the added power.
