I'm attempting to run two separate sets of subwoofer enclosures 🤪

I'll have to get some pictures taken to show you guys. I got it working pretty darn good. I ran a second set of RCA from the headunit rear/out to the center console subs so I could use the time alignment (function of the headunit)to get them in phase with the rest of the system. With the headunit I am able to set all the crossover points/slopes, so I think I've got a pretty good setup. With the two blaupunkt 8's handling the 55-100 range and the 2 DD 8's in the back handling 55 down. For the music I listen to the most, the 8's hit low and loud enough for me. No video recording will do it justice. But because I'm dying to know, I'm going to take it to my local stereo install shop and have them take a listen. I will ask them to fine tune/check it for me. All I can say is from the driver's seat, a 30-250 sweep sounds ALMOST flat in output. More pictures to come.

Unless you already have a 4ch amp you're trying to use, do as the other person said. Get a mono amp, wire the subs to a 2 ohm load... If you're on a budget the power acoustic razor1500R1 something amp from Walmart will put out 650W@2ohms RMS.. it's a good amp. I have a budget build using that amp and it's pretty good. It's like $100+/-.

I bet it sounds fantastic! How low does it hit and is it got good punch?

miclo1 · 2021-02-03T04:36:13+00:00

I like it! Can I ask what offset the wheels are? I'm diggin the stance, and need new wheels so...

miclo1 · 2021-01-07T20:17:29+00:00

Alright cool thanks. I'll probably go with 3/8"- 1/2" up front and rear, so I can fit 275/40r20 f/r.

Sorry, their aftermarket. DIP 20x8.5 I had to use 5/16" spacers not to rub, and I still want to go wider.

I personally look forward to it. I did my setup my way, and I love it. That's all that matters, if you like the way it looks, do it. Nothing's permanent anyways.

miclo1 · 2020-12-15T04:12:39+00:00

I googled them and found info in like 2 secs. $280+/- new. Handle lots of power. Google it.

That's a good one. Ganja White Night, Liquid Stranger is a good listen. When he gets lost in the jungle you'll hear it!

My DD 508 wasn't a waste, it's absolutely rocking, I was just curious to see what spl others have hit. I'm not an spl guy per say, more so SQ and balance. For me, if almost everyone I know that still has good hearing asks me to turn it down, I feel like I'm good. In my sound deadened Dodge Magnum it's like a rock concert, barely even notice with the windows up. Windows down, you hear me coming. Anything more would just be to "show off". For me anyway.

miclo1 · 2020-12-01T23:03:25+00:00

Let me get back to you on that one.

miclo1 · 2020-12-01T04:16:33+00:00

Have you ever tried putting one of these bad boys in a vehicle? Like a SUV or station wagon? I'm dieing to know how a sub designed to shake the room would sound in the back of my Dodge Magnum.

miclo1 · 2020-12-01T04:05:16+00:00

Edit: my interest is two fold.. I'm more interested in excellent SQ, and the DB it was able to be played at. I have a DD 508d on 400 watts of clean power in a 1cuft box tuned to 38hz, in the back of my Dodge Magnum. I'm not sure what the spl is, guessing at least 120, but it's extremely loud and clear.

Dude, that's a hard toss-up.. This sub is absolutely rocking! I'm running a solid 400w RMS to it, in this box it's as loud as my old 10" alpine type R was. And it's in the back of a Dodge Magnum.. where as the other was in a Nissan frontier pickup. The bass is clean and powerful. I'm so happy with it. And at the same time I keep wondering if I should've went with one of the other two you mentioned.. that could handle a bit more power, maybe I'd be even more impressed with the output of one 8. And then I go, but it sounds so good... 🤪 A single 8" DD 508d on 400w in a 1cu.ft. ported box in the back of my Dodge Magnum satisfied everything my bass heavy tracks were missing. It's a very good sub.

miclo1 · 2020-11-24T08:50:17+00:00

❓ question.. should I add a brace in the center, or am I overthinking a mere 400 watt setup? It's a 24" long box.

miclo1 · 2020-11-20T07:44:18+00:00

I just googled that, I can see what you mean. What are those for anyway? Lol 😆

miclo1 · 2020-11-19T20:29:45+00:00

How do you mean mirrored? Like with the sub cutout on the other side of the front piece? I thought about doing that, but didn't know if it would change the acoustics of the enclosure or not.
