Awesome 10" Woofer

[StereoInstaller1]

^30oz magnet structure, 1.5' voice coil, 150 watt actual RMS power handling...not much of a woofer really, even they are only $18.88 at Walmart...but they make a 6.5" DVC too, that might come in handy!

[e30experiment]

just get 4 of these, plenty of bang at @ 2 ohms for subs under 100$ + cost of box, that's what i am doing in my non e30.

400 rms each 800 watts max, 4 ohm dvc 8" subs for 23$ shipped

I have 2 right now in 2 bass tubes I bought on ebay for 40$ each wired at 4 ohms with a very very powerful kicker amp (2500 RMS @ 2ohm) and it bangs (I just got a good deal on it, or i would have probably have a 1200 watt sony explode class d amp), I just want louder and maybe go to a comp if one comes up and see how i do. (bought a 20 farad soundstream cap/distribution block/volt gage/blue neon night light lol) buying 0 awg cadence wire on ebay this friday (28$ for 17' ), since my amp requires a 250@ inline fuse and I currently have a 60amp on a 4 awg lol. and I need to install my 220 amp ebay alternator asap. Also will be getting a yellow top (have had great luck with them even though a lot of people I hear bash them).

I will be getting the cheap front usb jensen flip out 7" dvd touch screen also (200$ new at pc richard and sons, g/f had one and i loved it, cheap brand but works great). a lot of people say you need top dollar items but you dont.. I've had cheap and pretty loud setups for a long time.. (i've been out of the system game for a few yrs)

Scuffed it up with some scotch bright, then made a ring out of poster board for masking and sprayed it.

Painted with Rustoleum textured black spray paint. The silver is silver sharpie.

That looks way better than how it comes out of the box!

How'd you do it? Just mask off the surround and start painting?

Thought I would bump this thread with a picture:

miscommunication and understanding. i will pm you.

Nope...do a little math, that ain't even sort of close.

3.14 X radius, squared gives you surface area, right?

So radius is a 3" is 1.5", so 1.5X1.5= 2.25 sq in, X2 = 4.5 sq in total.

Radius on a 1.5" is .75, so .75 X .75 = .5625...so to get to 4.5 sq in total, you would need 8 1.5" tubes, 17" long

If you are really wanting to learn, get yourself a copy of "The Loudspeaker Cookbook", it is an adequate starting place to get some fundamentals down.

LMK if i can help

i like your box. I have seen it and heard it in person. I am running a different setup. if i run 4 ports 1 1/12 or 1 3/4 then will be ok?

Two dinky ports like that are gonna sound like shit. Way too little airflow, you will have massive turbulence and port noise.

Dual 3" X 18", 1.5 cubic feet net, after woofer and port displacement.

Basically, identical to our boxes.

Box design will determine your port size/length.

^ thats a higher qts than an infinity just a bit better power handling

I think 2001. My amp is the 2nd Gen. Red/Silver, as is the sub.
