Posted November 5, 200717 yr Hello all.Like the new front page Very nice Had a little test at the Talk Audio Guildford Meet on Sunday.With my Vectras rushed boot install. Sorry this is one of my worst ever installs. I`m ashamed to show it.But it is loud!!! Yes that`s an Orion 5000d running @ a 1ohm load to those two 12" Baby Mags.Here are the scores:Peak Freeq = 142.3dB @ 20Hz40 Hz= 141.4dB33 Hz= 141.5dB25 Hz= 141.4dB20 Hz= 142.3dBTotal Average score = 141.7dBVery Happy with those scores :earmuffs:---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------As for the Escort. I`ve another 15" Mag on it`s way to me Thanks to Nick & SuperiorSounds.And each of my mags will be run of these amps.I`m altering the wall slightly to acommodate one more 15" sub. It should be as good as I can possibly make it then...
November 7, 200717 yr Nice score!! The BM's are very formidable drivers for sure. When ported those suckers can get nasty!
November 7, 200717 yr Admin I liked the old BM's...they were very honest drivers Can you expand on that?
November 7, 200717 yr Nice score!! The BM's are very formidable drivers for sure. When ported those suckers can get nasty!Yes they can!! I love mine, very loud when I want them to be, shake teh entire car, but when I turn the sub output level down to normal listening levels in my HU they are very accurate and have great SQ, too bad they have 2.5" coils so if I blow one It'll be hard to get a recone Then again theres a good chance my BMs may be replaced with the next gen Mags next summer :) Edited November 7, 200717 yr by bose301s

December 5, 200717 yr Author Very nice score i love low freq... where did you meter ?dash or kick ?car sealed or door open ?how many batterys do you have on that amp ?I always measure in the ((((Propper Droppers)))) position - On the passenger Head RestThe driver window was opened half wayOne 70AH battery.Got rid of that system now.Now using a minimum / very low powered set up...Warning: Another messy installMy old Eminence Bass Tube Here are the specs:1x 12" Stereo Integrity Baby Magnum (Entry Level sub) wired @ 2ohm1x 1.5 Cu.Ft Sealed Bass Tube.1x Rockford Fosgate 300.1 (300wrms into 2ohm)Here are the scores:Peaking @ would you believe it. 20Hz :earmuffs:20Hz= 131.0dB25Hz= 130.2dB33Hz= 125.5dB40Hz= 128.0dBTotal Average Score = 129.2dBIt does sound pretty good despite the apparent huge dip @ 33Hz.I was pleasantly surprised how loud this set up is. I`m quite happy driving round with this as it is...
December 6, 200717 yr Admin Wow, as always, nice numbers. We need to get you Shawn F, Ramos, Nick, and Chad together to build one hell of an install.
