    You need one of these: That is all.

  • smartcar cant even hold the drivers weight, haha. crash test scores go UP when someone is in it to help brace all sides of the vehicle while driving.

and as always, we are still distributing Deka 9A31s for $120 flat.

How much shipped on the batts if you guys do ship? That is a great price!

  • Author

like a said before, we don't ship because they are picked up in bulk. We have nothing to ship them in and possibly will get damaged if we did.

hadnt planned on it.. was planning on welding steel between layers of wood all the way around to prevent the walls from flexing inwards during pressure..

hadnt planned on it.. was planning on welding steel between layers of wood all the way around to prevent the walls from flexing inwards during pressure..

i see, since we are on the subject, and i have been in your car before, have you designed a jacket of sorts to help prevent your passengers rib cage "from flexing inwards during pressure"..?????

nah, i had seen this application before with the closed celll membrane between the layers of steel and wood, had to do with the sound, resonance, aucoustical.....whatever....

but really, just was making small talk..... hollar at you when we get down there, you can help me plan some stuff out....

Hello once again...

While i am patiently waiting for the next few months for companies to contact me back so i can buy their products........ i'm going to start planning the next build...

But.. wow is there so many options...

So, i want others feedback on what you think i should do and why?

Car is 2007 Scion tC.

goal is to break 160.. if i dont, oh well, if i do, yay! hehe.

Specific goal- this is not a burp only vehicle. This is an averaging-mode vehicle so harder to get to that 160!

Options i have-

Option number 1-

16 10" DC Soundlab Lvl3s powered by a Single SounDigital 12Kw @35hz tuning.

1610s.jpg

Another option-

4 DC Soundlab Lvl5 18s powered by 2 SounDigital 12Kws @32hz

418s.jpg

Another option-

6 15" DC Soundlab Lvl4 XLs powered by 2 SounDigital 12KWs @35hz

615s.jpg

Last option i have right now-

4 12" DC Soundlab Lvl5s powered by 2 SounDigital 12KWs @ 35hz

This design is lined with concrete, hence why less cone area.

412sconcrete.jpg

So.. what do u guys think?

And no.. I'm not doin 64 8s, lol

  • Author

in a real world.. according to a graph.. the 10s are shown to produce the least pressure regardless of tuning including the low end :(

I do not know why i posted that as an option as i discussed it with a friend of mine that i more than likely will not go with that design ever...

Cancelation will be a major issue and it's the design with the least power and motor force.

That would work great for a 4th order but my car isn't large enough to attempt to do an averaging 160 in any type of bandpass.

I'm liking the 4-18's but the idea of those 4-12's plus some concrete seems very interesting. No flex issues in the latter design but will the suspension be ok for a daily driver?

  • Author

the "other things" like weight suspension, space, wiring, electrical system, etc... has all been taken care of for each and every design.

All designs posted above already have a full start to finish layout for them to become a reality.

Sick... My vote goes for the 18" subs... I wanna see that fit inside your TC... :peepwall:

  • Author

OK, so we got 2 votes for the 18s...

1 curious vote about the 4 12s, hehe.

Let me toss this out there as a little bit more info about the designs being presented here...

The 4 18s will more than likely be housed in ~18-19cuft NET.

DC Soundlab has already assured me that with the power on hand, the volume isn't too small.

Tuned @35hz with 360sqin of port

The 6 15s will more than likely be housed in 22cuft NET.

This will allow them to be used in an enclosure which exceeds optimal requirements.

Tuned @35hz with 230sqin of port

The 6 15s have more motor, more cone area, more coils to dissipate heat, more volume...

But the 18s have much more port...... hmm....

And don't think that's not enough port...

My first wall was 4 15s off of 11,000w clamped in only 13.5cuft with 144sqin of port and pulled a 153.4db at the head and a 156.8 in the kick.
