Yeah, it makes me wonder about the accuracy of this new stick-on or sit-on-the-passenger floor SPL meters, as compared to the high-dollar handheld units that were used for IASCA comps back in the day. It took me having 6 JL 12s on an Orion 2100HCCA to break 145 at the dash...but then again that was also going by the rules and using "Flashdance" as the song to measure SPL, which was not a bass-heavy song by any stretch of the imagination!

My 15 month old son was listening to bass even in the belly and now he can't get enough of it and even crys if the music is playing and the sub that I have is turned down. Keep up the good videos man. Can watch these all day.

Anyone who would think that is either a tightwad or simply has a severe lack of knowledge in car audio. I also would not ever buy any SDR sub with the intentions of treating it like an spl subwoofer. Though if needed I could readily recone a sdr sub or have it reconed, either way the job would get done & be done right.

I’m willing to bet you could fit a single one in an HHR, but that’s probably all you’ll have back there 🤣🤣 I helped a friend with building the box for his single 12” L7 in a 2019 Yaris iA. After the box and amp rack he had literally just enough room right at the edge of the trunk to fit his backpack and skateboard. Had a 3.25 cubic ft box and the amp rack had to fit his pioneer 4 channel, skar sub amp, and his LC7i so after all that was put together and in the trunk that’s all the room he had left 😂

After watching your video you convince me that two of these 18s would be great for my basement theater home stereo. Oml I think I only needed one LOL but two really make for a true cinematic experience. Pink Floyd sounds really good coming through also. I have nine speaker Dolby Atmos surround two JBL Studio monitor speakers with built-in crossover paired with these two 18s for bass on a 350 ultra-farad capacitor battery being powered by a constant 13.8 volts power bank that I got from Circuit City closeout for $30. I can't tell you enough how much I enjoy watching every one of your videos such detail help me decide that spending the most isn't always the thing when it comes to Quality. I am so happy with these Subs that even if I've had them only a year I know I got my money out of them. But I'm pretty sure the last for years to come. I've also decided that I'm getting two 12s for my son to put in his trunk. For the price you pay for these speakers I'm sure supply and demand will push the market up soon so get them while they're hot. And on sale

Can you hook up dvc 2ohm d2 to 0,5 without damaging the sub

@Carl_Jr Жыл бұрын

Two things. Actual three. First, your videos are awesome! A lot of fun to watch! 1.) That sub would be awesome for IB. That poor thing is being starved for air in that little box. Still a great bargain, though! 2.) Fb is what you're testing the enclosure for. Fv is the volume of the enclosure (size). Fb is tuning of the enclosure. You mentioned Fs. That is the speaker's free-air resonance when it's naked. Regardless, great job as usual. Your work is always appreciated! Love your videos! 😎👍

Number 2 was a slip, noticed after I uploaded. Too bad I can’t fix so I’ll forever be known as stating that incorrectly. This is why I’m known as the Big Dummy!

Very impressed. Good looking subs. For the box i would brace the port from the middle because there was flex going over there

5/8” for an 18” is silly but the box with sub is moveable without breaking backs

Best part is even with a small low wattage motor with that much cone area it's so efficient in an SUV 2 on a 1200 or 1500w amp it would jam out! Serious thump!

I would like to see you face the subs toward each other. Been thinking about a system I heard years ago. 4 12" Rockfords in a trunk. 2 separate boxes but were facing each other. Just curious on if it would make a difference. Thx for the great content dude!

Would be interesting to see if SPL is louder with boxes rotated, so that ports are nearest to the floor.

@BabyCharlotteschannel Жыл бұрын

Yeah I know in my hatchback cars, a couple of mustang GT's and VW GTI etc, a towel under the sub boxes to put the subs exactly parallel to the glass or the whatever covered metal body always increased the loudness by an easily noticeable gain. These 18's are pretty impressive, ESP for a budget setup!! 👍

I like alot of people already have a jp8 which I bought because of your video. So I am going to buy this so I can put the 12s I currently have in my wife's car. You know I can remember many years ago when my uncle had 800 watts and 8 15s in his car and he barely hit 144 dbs. Now you can do it with 1 Amp and 1 woofer. Absolutely crazy how times have changed.

true, i heard 147db competition vehicle irl, i don't go to shows or anything, but 147db was insane, and he was actually playing it for his friend across the parking lot at 300ft away, until i walked over and asked him about his setup, but from 300ft away i couldn't even tell where it was coming from, cuz i was walking out of a store in a strip mall, and it was shaking the huge glass windows those malls have haha, that's with all the trees and other parked cars between his car and the mall.

man i can remember trying to hit 145. it took me getting 6 12” gold comp kickers and 2 lanzar opti drive “cheat” amps and a lot of building my own boxes to finally get over that hump. nowadays you can just throw a prefabricated box in the back and ur good to go lol.

@@wal I still have the leiges audio in the box I'm having problems with the head unit install so I haven't installed anything. Soon as I square away the radio issues I'll need to order a box and speaker but I'll report back with how the amp does. I bought the amp through your link on Amazon the day I watched the the first video of the leiges amp, just been to busy to even try it on a sub. Another thing holding me back is the connector in my car (2000 Buick LeSabre) is the only year with a pcb board card edge connector that the radio harness plugs into. I waited over a month for that to get here after searching a few days to find one that may work but it actually came from an international truck parts supply house. So this build is taking more time than I wanted.
