October 4, 201014 yr Author Well, this was a busier day than I expected. Got her metered, a little disappointed with the first test. Playing Jeezy's Trap or Die did a steady 141.5 sealed on the dash. 143 with driver door open. I know they got more in them then that. I'm going to move the box around and seal it a little better and see if I can't get a little more.
October 26, 201014 yr Author did some messing around with my 12's box. I took the MB Quart's out and rounded all the edges on the box and sealed up around the speaker wire better. Also took out my C&D batt and put my kinetik 2400 in. I was planning on putting my MB Quarts back in, but I really wanted to hear these 2 Soundsplinter rl-p's I got. The quarts were very impressive for a cheap sub, but they were really struggling to take the SAZ-1500. Anyways, on to the results. Now keep in mind there are quite a few variables to take into account here. When I first metered the mb's, I had been driving around all day beating on them. Also, I did not try moving the box at all. I did not mess with box positioning today other than just moving it forward a few inches.Playing Jeezy's trap or die( same song). Around the same temp today as well- 146db sealed on dashDecent for 2 12's and 1500w on music. The Rl-p's crush the MB's on the lows as well. Plays 25hz quite nice. Pretty big gain. Could be a number of things or it could just be the MB's don't meter well
October 26, 201014 yr For the MBQ I'd Suggest either tuning higher or picking a different enclosure, maybe a 4th order bandpass?
October 26, 201014 yr Author I'm sure I could get a lot more out of the MB's but this is just my personal daily box. I'm not really willing to give up my SQ and good frequency response just for #'s in my own vehicle.
October 26, 201014 yr A well designed and built 4th order bandpass would give you great output and great lows.
October 26, 201014 yr Author A well designed and built 4th order bandpass would give you great output and great lows.True. I'm still working on some 4th order designs actually. Not sure if I'll try the MB's in one or not. Too many subs and not enough time lol.
