Got Bass? Spring box build is here! E34s too!

[Wh33lhop]

I am very impressed with my $60 Infinity. Luke isn't fucking around when he says it is great in the 10" box. Not only with bass heavy music, but any genre... kick drums, bass guitars, it enhances everything and does a good job of it.

I would still like to switch to a more SQ oriented sub in the future, but I am impressed with the little Reference and especially with the 10" box and the trunk space it leaves.

Dude, maybe you should drop $50 on one of these Obcons. They do come in DVC. The cone mass is quoted as about half the Infinity, and has a bigger motor to boot.

Light cone mass means a bigger box, but they sound awesome in my boxes. What it really relates to is a quicker response, so the bass is tighter and cleaner. I wish you could hear mine, I run that fucker up to 100Hz, even 125Hz and it stays nice and clean, very "forward" localization.

I am sure you knew all that, but some other readers might not understand the importance of Mms

Luke, I was PMing you a little while ago about putting together a little system. Recently we had to get rid of our harmon kardon home theater system and I pulled the 10" woofer from the bottom of the sub box. It really doesnt have any markings on it but it looks in perfect condition. Any chance I could use it?

Thanks

Luke, do you think a DVC 10" obcon will fill up an E36 nicely in a well built box? My e36 doesn't have folding seats so I want to have a "luke-style" box in it :D

[StereoInstaller1]

Odd you should mention that...I am doing an E36 (no folding) in just a couple weeks...soon as these damn E34 boxes are done.

I am also working on a 10 channel passive crossover network, so you could use deck power or an amp, like a 5 channel or whatever.

NINJA: My 34 gets the first passive crossover, a DVC Obcon and a Jensen 5 channel, but a $130 Pioneer because it looks really nice in the dash of a BMW and works well

Unfortunately it looks like only the 12" come in DVC. :(

It's okay, I will likely be getting one of those JBL/IDMAX boxes and filling it with something appropriate. ;) Or I could always try and hack this one up and stick a DCON in it or something.

They have (or had) the DVC 10", they just didn't have a page to order it from. Try using their live chat when it's up for instructions on how to order it.

just call Jason, it is easier

[darrenforeal]

yeah the DVC is available in the 10 too. It's a dual 4 ohm VC

[Wh33lhop]

Awesome. Will do, thanks guys.

So is the mounting lip of the sub supposed to sit below the carpet? Mine is sitting flush with it, but I don't think its the magnet from keeping from going in further. I might have to cut the carpet and/or shave some off the i.d. of the "faceplate" of the box to get it in all the way.

What woofer?

[Jalves619]

That Orion XTR Pro I linked you. It's got a pretty beefy ridge around the outside of the mounting circle.

O/D # ( 10.7/8" Round with trim ring ) <I'm thinking this is where I need to open it up
Cutout Size # ( 9.1/8" Round )
Mounting Diameter # ( 10.1/8 inches )

I'm no rocket surgeon, but I think I can get it to fit.

[StereoInstaller1]

Yeah, pull that rubber ring off if you can. Email me some pics.

Quick question. It sounds like the issue with the e36 is the back seat and how tight it seals and the shape. Could you make an e36 box for an e36 with a rear seat delete? I don't run a back seat in my m3, just upholstered plywood 8)
