Re: [Audio Tech] Air blowing thru hatch!

[Pete Jacobsen <fluidweb@hotmail.com>]

Well I am running two JL 12W1's in a custom ported JL-spec box, facing the 
front. They run off a Punch 40.2 believe it or not they are LOUD. The 
hatchback and the layers of dynamat really improves the tightness of the 
bass. I would never go with anything less than 2 12's, except maybe 3 
10's... This setup literally shook candies off the shelves in a 7-11 when i 
parked outside! The clerk came out and yelled at me -- it was great.

Anyways the ports are tuned to spec, and the each sub has its own seperate 
box w/ port. It looks pretty trick. I took some pics yesterday, will scan 
them soon.

Anyways I don't agree with your statement about 12" overkill, and I have 
plenty of bass-head friends to back me up.


Later,

Pete

Pete,

Maybe with a bit more info on what kind of speakers/amps youre running in
your car I could give you some info. Maybe just a tuning thing , maybe your
car or cabinet is resonating to a specific frequency in the bottom
end.....diud you do all the math when you put in the subs are you sure the
sub isn't the culprit... check the spare heheheh....


You are probably aware that any speaker over 12 inches in a car is sheer
waste of money and power, a car does not have the cubic footage inside it to
really do good bass. Everyone around you gets most of the bass and they
usually point and sneer. Try shakers, manufactured by a company in the US
called Aura.... they provide the bass for Céline dions entire In Ear
Monitoring System... I've experienced shakers... they're a rush... (with a
good Crossover of course)
