Wow! 6.5" woofer

[Supadave]

I have the same woofers (4 of em) in a ported box tuned to 38Hz. Dont have a video came at the moment. Plan on taking some vid this weekend.

These lil speakers are bad ass, 13mm Xmax!

People always ask me what size speakers i have in the trunk, and when i tell them 6.5 they "say no way let me see"

Awesome. Kick drums like whoa--my setup could do with a lot more midbass.

What sort of power do you run to them, and what SPL do you see in the cabin?

[AndrewBird]

Is it just the music or is there a LOT of rattling/vibration?

And I don't really see the point of running these over one 10". Looks like it takes up almost as much room as a 10" Luke box.

I run one of these http://www.streetperformance.com/par...r-bb12501.html

Not sure about the SPL, but I'm moving a bunch air. I got almost the same cone space as two 15's plus the ports

I see what ur saying, but I'm running 10 speakers in the cabin alone. Two 5.25 componet sets and two mid bass drivers. I also did it to be different, I like to see the look on peoples faces when they see these lil woofers doing work.

I was looking at these, when I was planning 6.5 woofers for my kick panels in my e34. I decided on CDT M6s instead. They seem to be MUCH more accurate. But the Tang Bands are pretty nice. Good for doing a cheap home system.

OK, just so you get set straight, your math sucks.

Your 4 6" woofers have just over half the cone area of a single 15", not even close to a pair of 15's.

From TBs spec sheet, effective cone area is 0.0140 M2 (square meters)

From a fairly typical "big" 15" spec sheet, effectiove cone area is 0.091 M2 (square meters).

So .014 X 4 = .056 square meters. The 15" is nearly twice that of the 4 6".

Just in general, it takes a LOT of little shit to equal one big shit, thus the old saying "there is no replacement for displacement".

YOUR RIGHT LUKE. I was just taking 6.5 times 4 thats how I came up with that number. Guess i should have taken a closer look at that spec sheet.
Whats you take on those woofers Luke? They are a bunch of guys on YOUTUBE running them in a T line box.

[StereoInstaller1]

I fucking LOVE T/Bs stuff, just in general.

Parts express can suck my nuts though, absolute ass pirates in pricing.

I think Seth was going to build up a box for two of these... wonder what ever happened there.

Dunno...which car was he talking about?

[Supadave]

Sounds much better in person. Mic sucks on my camera

id just run 1 L5 with a smaller box, less weight, and more bump. lol idk what the advantage to your setup is..

[BrewCity11]

I like your style. Although, at this point, you would be better with 1 larger sub, but do what you want. Sure does look cool.

In high school I was doing the same thing with 3 JLW6 8" in a sealed box. People couldn't believe you could make that much sound from 3 small speakers.

My old sub setup at home was 3- 5.25" woofers ported, tuned to 40-45, can't remember exactly now. My friend's father was into enclosure design. Took a single 5.25" woofer, placed it into the tower box he made with numerous walls and chambers inside and you would've swore there was at least a 10" sub built into it somehow.

*Edit, man, i've been out of the game for a while. What are these T-line boxes i see now?

No advantage, just different ;)
