Give it a whirl Frank. PR's can be used in cars- Kicker had a line of boxes ~20 yrs ago with PR's in them, a 8" woofer w a 10" PR, and a tweeter on top. Had some in a truck.
Jasen, I had 2 S15L5 in big sealed boxes for HT, they soak up the watts. I had a PE plate amp (270 watts) on ea VC, and never bottomed them. Sold one to buy an AV15, and tho the AV15 will bottom with a PE amp on ea coil and the Solo wont, the AV sounds SOOOO much better than the Solo, I hope...
I have a 9700 pro, with a dvi-vga adapter etc but its been volt modded. I can return the card back to stock easily, have stock heatsink etc. but I live in Texas, that kills the local requirement. :) FWIW, if ya want a screamer, I'll leave it volt modded, as it does 415-425 on core, with...
:) Wayne, looong ago, when the I saw the Carver cube amp for the first time, (car audio was not as bigas today) I remember thinking, "In my truck??' and grilling my electrician father, 'Dad, how big a convertor would I need for an amp this big?' His answer- No. :)
Javier, I see you live in Mexico City- hotter than Beaumont !! I have 2 of the 300-794 amps running 2 ohms, 1 into each voice coil of an AV-15. Room temmp stays at 68-70F, but I didn't mount the amps to the sub enclosure. I have them mounted in a vertical row, on a standoff fromm the wall. A...
Eric, I had a similar problem with my cable. After some Googling, I found a tip that worked for me. I ran the cable line into 2 75-300ohm converters back to back 75-300-back to 75. I used the little "pigtail" type. This cured my hum. I don't know if it will work with satellite though-worth a...
I seem to remember several threads from some time back discussing acoustic coupling. The consensus seemed to be that drivers arranged close together have greater output than if summed seperately; does this hold true for a port too? IOW, does a port acoustically couple with the driver? I'm...
Hank, I get what you're saying about the area of a circle. :) I'm not trying to promote Kicker, but their reason given for square subs is this: Round subs would have a roughly diamond shaped gap between them, mounted on a wall in a car (or van, most likely, for campetition use,)whereas...
linkage : :) In an A-B comparison to even a "good" subwoofer, such as the AV15, the Solobarics lose. But as HT subs, I cross mine over at 40hz, they slam. Too boomy tho really- they definitely are meant for auto use. Buddy of mine has 2 of the 12 inchers in an Infinite Baffle, not...
Hi all ! Re the square Solobaric subs, I have a pair of 15 inch Solos in a common 24 cu ft box. Kicker states the square design was to help acoustic coupling, in competition automotive installs. Square subs maximize cone area on the mounting surface; circles would have greater "gap" between...
Greg Conti wrote: I currently have an 18"JBL 2242H in a 8 cu ft box which gives me tons of output to 22 Hz. I have a subsonic filter so I don't get much output below that. However, I'm beginning to tire of the huge box in my living room. I can conceal a 120L box fairly easily. While the...
If I hook up one wire (each) red/black to +/- of both V coils on one sub, and then twist those red/black together, that's a 2ohm load the amp sees, right? Then I do same to other sub & twist the final red/black from "each" sub together, its back to a 4ohm load, right? Wrong. Cam...
No, they are not the same. The connectors with the spade terminals that emerge from the back of the amp, are amplified; the Line level out on the front, is not amplified.
Question; I have 4 of the PE 250watt amps, 300-796. All 4 seem to have a low-freq cut-off on the line-out, approx 80-120hz. I have themm all running off a series of Y-connectors-a mess- but if I try to plug the connectors in a daisy-chain config, only the amp getting signal from the receiver...
------------------------------------------------------------ A symetrical shape like a sphere will certainly create standing waves. And as with any enclosure, appropriate use of internal baffles and or proper damping materials will eliminate the problem...
In My Very Humble Opinion, Build 4 sealed Tempests. Look around this forum and you'll see that "upgrade-itis" is a very common thing. Since the all-important Wife Acceptance Factor is no problem here, rather than 2 huge ported boxes, IMVHO, I'd go for 4 sealed Tempests. 18x28 is a fairly...
FWIW, I have a PE 250 on each VC of an AV15, in a 6ft enclosure, and it will bottom out if I get too "enthusiastic". HTH I'd go for either the 500w plate amp, or one of the 350w plates. again HTH
Chris, I have 2 of the PE amps running @ 2 ohms for over a year now. * DISCLAIMER * :) the amps are NOT approved by PE for operation under 2 ohms. I have spoken with them and they say they are not modifiable for it either, so I will not be held liable for blown or burnt amps !! (that said...
