Ok I want to put a subwoofer in my car. I have one but its pretty low power. its 150w x 2 (rms) I want something thats going to be heard if anyone is within a quarter mile of my car. so ive picked some things out...

Minimum Sealed Volume- 1.8 cu. ft.

Maximum Sealed Volume- 5.2 cu. ft.

Minimum Vented Volume- 3.0 cu. ft.

Maximum Vented Volume- 5.0 cu. ft.

Amp: 500wrms x 1 2ohm

250 watts RMS x 1 at 4 ohms

500 watts RMS x 1 at 2 ohms

MOSFET power supply and output stage

STAR Topology for cleaner sound

Enclosure: the box I have found says the air space has been calculated for a 15"... But it doesn't mention ports. Do I want ports?

How does this look? Any pointers? Is this going to pound like i want it to? or atleast a lot better than my current system? what about these copolymer woofers? I want to feel this in my chest!

Thanks in Advance,

Dan

hey pimp!

the seup that u have mentioned does not suit ur woofer... if u want something that can be heard at half a mile ... u need a larger amp.... ur woofer handles a lot more power so u can give it more juice.... the options on ur amp are awesome ... so u can fine tune them specifically according to ur car.... try another model of the same specs that gives more output.

and if u use ur current woofer .... it will sound alright but may not have all the kick...

alternatively... u could use the preamp outs and use another amp with another woofer...

are u wiiling to experiment ?

then there is the matter of the port, a port is said to improve the frequecy response of a drive unit ... if made correctly, it DOES make a difference!

hey and since u have the vented and sealed volumes... u could use the theile -small parameters to have an enclosure designed... or do it ur self if u have the equipment...

if u need any further help .... i am at ur disposal

* we are here to help others.... but what are others here for ?? *
