    DIfference between a sub in a 4.5 cuft vs a 2.5 cuft enclosure when tuning fs, magnitude, SPL, and port velocity are nearly the same.

    Im building a box for my 1996 Accord using WinISD. So I have exterior dimensions of 16 high by 33 wide and 20 deep i want to work with. There's a perfect rectangle behind where the seats fold down and i plan to create a seal between the box and the frame. The problem is this gives me an internal...

    I want to upgrade my bass trunk for Christmas!

    I forgot about this post. So if I can’t fit the airspace required for 2 XR’s I’d be better off downgrading to woofers that need less airspace and power than just getting one XR? sounds like just buying two new diamonds and building a box for them, which doesn’t feel like enough of an upgrade...

    I want to upgrade my bass trunk for Christmas!

    Okay so sorry I’m super late. My girlfriend had to use for my car for a bit. So upon removing both subwoofers the one that make a clapping sound at high volumes has a SEVERELY torn spider. It’s torn in three freaking places I don’t know how it’s been playing like that for at least a year. A...

    I want to upgrade my bass trunk for Christmas!

    That's what i was always told. So then my last question would be, can I build/design a ported box that would excel with the D3's as well as a set of more powerful woofers in the future? Or is this not really achievable...

    I want to upgrade my bass trunk for Christmas!

    Totally separate discussion now but i was always told the extra cone area from having two subwoofers was in most cases better than having one more powerful woofer. Am i wrong to assume that? i know its all based on paramters and the amount of air it can move, but this is why i was trying to...

    I want to upgrade my bass trunk for Christmas!

    I just don't want to build a new box for the diamonds, realize its not a big enough upgrade and then build a 2nd box and still buy two new woofers. i was never going to put more powerful woofers in an already too small of a box.

    I want to upgrade my bass trunk for Christmas!

    Good call on removing the sub that's making noise to find out if its a mechanical problem or if it's box related ill do that tonight. I'll also check the resistance, am i looking for it to be different than 2ohms for damage to have been done? As far as a new box i am set on getting a new one...

    Having Trouble with Winisd!

    Thank you for your reply, I wasn't aware of the cabin gain difference between the two programs. I'll work on aquiring bassbox pro this week. So the gain on the amp was set using a multi meter to guesstimate 900w years ago, which is already 100w more than the 2 D3's are rated. I swore they were...

    I want to upgrade my bass trunk for Christmas!

    So here's the deal. I have a three year old Hifonics brx-2416-1d amp (roughly 1000w rms at 2ohm) and two six year old diamond d312d2.2's (400w rms) in a sealed box .75 cu ft each. they're starved for air so i added insulation years ago, it helped a bit. This year id like to finally upgrade the...

    Having Trouble with Winisd!

    So! I'm trying to find out what the difference would be if i put my current woofers into a vented box that's properly designed. Right now I have 2 Diamond Audio D312d2.2's in a sealed box. each woofer only has .75 cu ft and they both want 1.0 in a sealed application. (theyre 12" 400w 2.5" vc...
