well, you will need to get the wire hot so it takes the solder. The trick is to not get it too hot so as to melt the insulation on the wire. I siggest some thin solder too (0.5mm) as it flows...

do you have a link for a circuit breaker that works in a car. Or will a normal AC (home) circuit breaker work?

take a look inside the amp :)

the 3.5" will need little power to run them, so yes, the 400.4 would be more than enough to run your 2 sets of speakers IMHO.

I reacon the HU would run those 3.5" 100% too if you had to run...

well, if you have to use the HU, then go for it. I think what 1996blackmax meant is that the HU will generally underpower the speakers, and not make them sound nearly as good as they could.

But...

Heya,

I want to run my 2 x DB12"s (DVC's) in a sealed box. Will the c500.1 do that, or will the subs be underpowered?

I am not going for SPL, just daily listening, but I also want to crank it...

IMHO, its poked (not polk'ed :) ) But thats just from a 'it should not look like that point of view'.

I would imagine the sound would be effected by the dent, although maybe not enough to notice...

What you guys are saying IS 100% correct.

however, all I was getting at is that if people on this forum want REAL solutions, they should give as much info as possible. All the factors they give,...

well, its dangerous to assume not? Rather ask too many questions than too little IMHO.

thanks, guys, only saw this now.

I am going to try the tweeter on axis, and the mid about 15° off-axis, and see how that works. Will let you know as a matter of interest.

some key information is missing here, like what you intend to do with your setup, and what kind of music you prefer listening to.

TBH, I find it amazing ppl give solutions, when the whole picture...

is that after you took the plastic back off? :P

go 4 kicka

simple enuf?

well, IMHO its a bit of a silly question.

I think if you go for any of the top end subs from either Kicker, Rockford or Polk, you would be happy.

I think more important than the sub (assuming...

@Thom.

HAHAHA, would you buy a Ferrari? Why, you have never driven one.

They are called reviews. I read magazines, like Car Audio and Electronics and take the advice of PROFESSIONAL audio...

actually, I live in south africa and have never seen one of those subs.

But then again, someone going around buying mutiple $200 subs until he finds "The right one" is not that clever in my...

thank goodness ppl take time to read my posts, your welcome

Have a look at the Critical Mass subs..

They make an amazing sub that actually has an inverted motor (its where the dust cap is) and it pushes out huge amounts of bass. Costly, and you would need...

why not spend extra on one nice sub, instead of buying lots of mediocre ones?

Heya,

i was reading an article of Gary Biggs in the new CA&E where he says how he mounted his JBL splits facing 90° to his doors as they have a 30° off axis response.
Now, I know he knows what he...

the recomnded specs from the polk website is 1.2 cubic feet. Your box would effectively be 0.2 cubic feet smaller. Not sure exactly how this would effect the sound, but it is about 17% smaller than...

but expanding foam will not stop the resonance on the panels. it works well to fill voids and gaps in the car, but will do little for actual panel resonance, which is why you need a heavier material...

we need more info, like what box you got it in (size, type etc).
What car the box is put in, orientation etc.

There are a whole myriad of reasons that could be resposible for your problems.

IMHO, the 12" would drown out the 8"

I myself would recommend sealed, for the reasons stated above.

If you want lots of bass, go for bandpass :) (just invest in a POWERFUL amp)

the volumes stated on the site include the sub (ie, it is the total volume you need to build, and NOT add the sub to it).

How do I get to this conclusion? Well, if you add up the volume from the...
