jthedriva Posted February 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2006 You know how good an amp is by the crazy claimes they have!A Tru Technology A Class amp costing thousands managers 100db style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />Anyway, cant find the wrms ratings, but less guess (like it looks like they have style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" /> ) at 300wrms of clean power.The magnet sub I know nothing about.Although my mate is a disributer of Diamond audio, but also signed up (which he regrets) to sell Magnet gear also.I was in his shop yesterday, but never thought to take a look at them.If you can find out what model sub it is, I'll ask him if hes ever ported one, (or even put one in a box if its supposed to be free air?) Theres a saying you'll here a lot of around audio peeps"10% equipment, 90% instalation"ill try and find it but i threw the box out stupidly, had all the figure on it! (**** having a small uni room) i dont believe the claims of the website for the amp either but its cleaner than most so it does me lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigz™ Posted February 8, 2006 Report Share Posted February 8, 2006 The amp should be fine, imo an amp is an amp.So long as its not over worked.Its should tell you the model umber on the back of the sub. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikebob Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 If your wanting to go for a good SPL set up, id recommend you either go for an RE SX12 or SX10 . . . throw it in a ported enclosure and you'll be laughing style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> . . . a friend of mine has just baught the 10 and put it in his Mini & it's unbeleivble - ive heard enough 'bling bling' 15" Subs e.g. Audiobahn, lanzar e.t.c and they sounded so distorted and cack compared to a nicely set up R.E. which dropped as low as Ron Jeremy style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure on the model, but I'm pretty sure that sub is free air only. So won't really work in any kind of box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jthedriva Posted February 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 sounds brilliant in a box style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":confused:" border="0" alt="confused.gif" /> , i might consider building a large ported box, what m sq would it have to be for a 12 inch roughly do you think?

Tigz™ Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 erm... if its a free air sub, thats what its designed for.My 12" sub needs a 1.2cuft ported box.My last 12" Rockford sub needed 3cuft.It could be anything mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoobydoo Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 how bout a 10" W7. my mate had one running off a 800watt rms kenwood amp and that f***er was loud and it sounded good too. unless ur running competitions why do u just want spl. they dont usually sound that good for listenin to when ur drivin down the road or whatever. glad tigz got u off the 15" sub at least. how bout one of those new alpine spr's in whatever size. they just upgraded them. the 12 went from 300w rms to 500w rms. i run the comps and soon one of those and the components are great for the price.

tshirt2k Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 You cant guess a box size. you need the sub parameters, put them in a box calc program and it will give you the optimum size of box you need. If you guess you can **** up the sound completely. you need an exact port diameter and length, and box size.Search on the web and do some research it might help you understand.start here first.
