Although not indicated in the plot, I would suppose that the recommended ported enclosure would lend some more spl in the bass without more input power, could be a good option if you think you could precisely supervise a carpenter. |
Iv made a typo on this thread another one regarding the power of the concerned amp. It is rated @ 1200 watts peak output. Should put out anywhere close to 1000 watt rms (or atleast I was told, no documentation). It is a powerful amp, this I know because I heard it driving components and rear fill. Even at high volumes the clarity from the mids were amazing, no distortion... (kenny G and some old school hiphop for demo). Im pretty sure if cranked up the speakers would get pushed to the limit and blow. Guess Im pretty safe going with sealed enclosure since juice from the amp will not be a major issue.
Also i just wanted to state that I havent been talking to a regular carpenter for the enclosure. Its a guy who builds speaker pods, planks, enclosures for the car accessory walla's... basically the source. So they have some experience with the buildling... I just need to make sure I get the required finished product. If I go with this custom option I plan on procuring quality
connection terminals and pop them in the box instead of the local wire terminals these boys use.

For the front (and this part is really important for house-boys, I am one), don't make a pod that doesn't open out into the door. Use the door's volume, and damp the door really well.
|
Yeah I was pretty convinced that instead of spending on pods I could use the money for dampening instead. The pics gunbir posted cleearly indicate that the speaker/magnet can go right in without a problem.

The door usually resonates at the same frequency as the kick-line in most electronic music, and you hear like a muffled thud, accompanied by a whirring sound.. that is irritating. It should be nice, crisp and agile.
|
you obviously know that its all about the kick drum in these genre's, so take that away and your left with pretty much nothing to dance about!! Accurate sound is a priority and the delay in breakdowns is unacceptable. So no pods it is !!!!

Next, make sure you don't have air-leakages from the sides of the pod/ ring/ door panel. You should seal this after all the reinforcement went in.
|
Now that Im kind of set on going with the speaker on the door, what would ensure securing the air-leakage? Also I was curious regarding the "
baffle" gunbir has used in the vega install... helps to reduce vibration ?

you may find that results vary thanks to the car's cabin help. Its also useful to have a head unit that allows you to use different slopes on the crossover.

Yeah, this is my greatest fear after sitting in some rides with bad ice. Uuncoordinated bass, and basically the music not being in sync. One things for sure... with the amount of questions Im badgering everyone with for just the install... you can imagine what the scene will be like when I get to fine tuning the sound
oh btw Im using th epioneer 7650 hu.

Having done all this right, you should have a stomping system.

Its going to be possible with all the help Ive got from Sam, Gunbir, Navin, LBM, yourself and others, you know who you are !!
Thank You !
