12" sub

[DaGr81]

my pioneer 12" sub is free to air sub, now since i got no where to mount that ive been forced to use a box, is it because its in the box that it doesnt sound as powerful its supposedly rated at 400wrms :bs!: from my 4 channel amp ive used 2 channels, its not bridged because for some reason when i bridge it using the diagram no sound comes out... :headspin:

now being a crazy idea if i were to take the sub outa the box and mout it the other way around as in the magnetic area outside and the cone area screwed to box would i see any improvements, dammit y did i get a free to air sub :headspin:

using 2 channels of your 4 channel amp is bridged

and invert mounting the sub wont do much difference, ive experimented it with both my pioneer 305c, and jl 12w0, and they both sound pretty much the same.. coz you have an enclosed space on one side of the sub in both cases still.

DaGr81, I see you are in Sydney; could you please bring your car down here so I can sort it out for you mate? By the tone of your post and certain afore mentioned key elements within it, I suspect you might not be getting the best sound possible from your sub.

hmmz reckon u could pm the where abts of ur shop etc. will come down for some advice when im free as im on a tight budget and have done all installation myself, on the other hand i bought a sub designed for an enclosure (all pioneer) as i want it sounds good so i keep the free to air one in the boot out of the way LOL

Calm down, I wasn't going to charge you anything to sort it out.

I was just offering to have a look over it and point you in the right direction.

lol kk yeah thats wat im after tips maybe one day will have my boot transformed into a custom setup....one...day.... hey fhrx how much would it cost roughly?

[DaGr81]

for a custom setup...... of the boot

[Fhrx]

Custom boot setup? Rough price?

Somewhere between $200 and $3500000. Have you looked at our website and many others at just how silly you can go with a custom boot set-up? :D

Strong good quality subbass is all about power and thoughtful enclosure design. I can blur vision and rupture ear drums with a single 8" driver given the right amount of power and careful enclosure construction.

Depends on what you are listening to. 15inch sub is TERRIBLE for Quick bass. Its only good for R&B becasue it drones on for too long. If you want the best of 2 worlds 2 12inches is the way to go.

Again I refer to my post above.

High quality bass is all about power and careful enclosure design. You can blow your head off with a single 8", you can also make a 21" sub sound tight and accurate if you run it with a powerful amplifier able to control the cone.
