Have you tried putting magnets on the back pole plate sometimes when the speaker works great but the magnet on the motor isn't strong enough adding another magnet on the back side will give it that little extra push

[@stevekelly7084]

I love these $150 SPL challenges. Reminds me of being a teenager with a limited budget trying to get the biggest bang for the buck. I’m wondering what type of numbers you’d hit in a properly ported box or a 4th order box. If I remember correctly the Titans require a large box cubic ft or infinite baffle but I can’t remember. As much as I loved this box and the splatter design I think it would make for some great videos to try out different box designed in the suburban to see if you can hit 140+ You have plenty of room and I think it’s absolutely possible!

[@HifiVega]

That’s definitely something I may do in the future. I don’t think I’m done playing with these subs just yet...

[@HifiVega]

Brandon Barthelmas Thanks! Believe it or not at 7cft this sealed enclosure wasn’t even half as big as the subs called for... I wanted to put a huge port on it to see what it would do, but I was just running out of time with a million things to do on my plate.

[@edud8452]

eric dudley Thanks man! Excellent, I’m waiting eagerly!

[@ruikazane5123]

My 8 inch subwoofer costed 26.99. But the box is designed for a P2 8 inch from Rockford Fosgate. The cheapest best sub I can get is a 15 inch rated at 500W. Old school design as well. Both have no T/S parameters, which is a no-go. But my amplifier is not working correctly though...need a new one as well.

Appreciate it man! I’m actually not a fan of this style paint job myself, but it fit the early 90’a motif I was going for.

[@2011joser]

Great video Hifi! That box brings back memories of old school sound offs. Since giving up freeairs back in the 90’s I’ve always preferred sealed vs ported. I guess that’s aging into sq from spl.

[@johnnyditommaso6807]

Did the rotozip cut 3/4 wood or was that 1/2 or 5/8 wood you used. If I knew how good the roto zip cut I would have used it to cut my circles instead of my jig saw.

[@HifiVega]

Johnny DiTommaso it was 3/4 inch. If you buy the 1/4 shank bits it will cut it just fine, but you gotta take your time. You can also just make 2 passes if needed

[@HifiVega]

For those wondering the enclosure specs... This is 7cft sealed and the subs call for 2.64cft ea, so we’re definitely undersized here. That’s part of the reason I didn’t go ported, that and I also ran out of time and needed to get the video finished. I may in the future revisit this enclosure to see what else I can do.

I've been getting some really good deals on used gear I've been buying subwoofers with ripped cones and maybe little holes or something in the surround and doing pretty good repairs on them to where it's not even noticeable that they've been repaired. I got two Fosgate 12 punch he with holes in the cones. I superglued the whole s*** and then use a little spot glazing putty to make it look good again and then a coat of paint. Did the same thing with another pair of Fosgate p2 12s but sold and Bartered them already 4 cash and another set of 2 12 that were kicker comps that had tracked cones or just covers in this case I suppose. Sold them already also paid 35 bucks for the box and damaged speakers 414 the other one I paid 30 bucks for the 2/12 and the box and the last one was the Fosgate P2 12in paid 50 bucks for that in the Fosgate box with the two subwoofers. Sold them for 200 without the box and got some other hiphonix 12s also. I sold the kickers for 140 bucks in the box so some good profit and some good gear for little money that I could use in that challenge I think I don't know do does the Gear have to be purchased brand new for the SPL challenge?

What is the name of the subwoofers

[@msh6865]

Rob, that throwback sub box is awesome. Splatter FTW! Break those subs in for a few days and do your run in the Suburban again. Only next time lower your second row of seats forward to about a 20 degree incline. Don't just lay them flat. You might need to put something in between to keep a slight bit of elevation. Then retest. You should see a slight increase in dB. 👍

[@HifiVega]

I’ll need to order another bass meter (this one was on loan) and by that time the contest will be over. At this point even if I gained 10db I still wouldn’t be in the running so I just made the choice to get the video up.

Gahdamn i love to see stuff like this

[@thethoughtmaster]

All I seem to hear from sub freaks is speaker cones vibrating, they are not meant to be driven that much. I know you turned it lower though. You can not get more by putting a larger amp on, they have their limits based on the resonant surface area of the speakers. The best speakers for sub bass are no dome only cone polyresin IMPP. Polycarbonates are too hard. Aluminium have tighter bass. Domes are for Hard beats. Great fun though, thanks.

[@HifiVega]

ROBERT FRIEND 👍🏼

[@thethoughtmaster]

@@HifiVega Thanks for the thumbs up. My amp is distorting the midrange frequencies at the moment. I pulled out the fan and since then some frequencies sound like the battery is at low voltage. I put the fan in and it is the same. It started as soon as I switched it on so I do not think it overheated and the fan is not on a heat sink. The only components near the socket are a TIP 41C and some green things that look flat and square. I think something might be loose, what do you think?

I’ve gotten more than twice as loud with a single 12, but I used 8 $10 subs so it was a bit expected.

[@ericakasatch]

guys do some research..make sure the xmax is good. for instance, i bought an older JL audio 12w6 which had 12mm of xmax (voice coil windings outside the magnetic gap of the motor structure, measured one way for a total of 24 mm of travel) at the present i have a SKAR audio vd-12 which has 11 mm of xmax and its comparable to the JL audio however, the SKAR has a considerably larger surround and a noticably thicker and sturdier spider which helps it move way past it's xmax limits

@@HifiVega I apologize if it sounds like I was questioning your expertise. That is not my intention. You probably do have them setup so there is no way to over extend them, It just looked like they didn't have much protection in the video. They are probably also not actually moving as much as they may appear from behind the grill either. It always seemed to me like 63 isn't very much protection, even if its 4th order. My preference was usually to pinch them a little tighter than that, as it seemed to give better linearity in the lower vocal range. Though that is only my subjective ears for my vehicle... For some setups that can leave a crater in the mid-bass however....

Hey quick question I bought these from parts express to freshen up some 25 yo Kenwood 10" wedge truck speakers,, Ive never bought cheapie drivers like this but figured hey $11 pffft dirt cheap and have good reviews whatever i can't go wrong... well I think maby I was wrong? They had them listed as full range woofer saying "great for a party speaker" and in reviews people said they were using them as regular speaker woofers and worked great, I see u are using them as subs, and when I opened them they say "subwoofer" on the dust cap... Also the truck boxs is ported and they sound fluttery sounding and just plain awful, but if I cover the port they smooth out ok... What gives, are they not like ported enclosures...I wanted them as a full range speaker in my pickup to go with my fosgate sub for little more sound, but now I'm wondering how well they will even work as a full range...

I just got back into car audio again about 6 months ago. And I'm wondering if I missed something since I was gone. I'm 50 now and was into it back in the 90s. I've been kicking around the idea of doing this SPL challenge if it's still going I guess it is obviously. Is there any where I can go to find any rules or anyting?

This enclosure is about 1/4 of the airspace they require so I’m using a common chamber to kinda help cheat the small amount of airspace. The Old School SPL Challenge won’t be live again until next year, but you can find the rules here facebook.com/groups/oldschoolspl2019/

Because the enclosure is undersized that's the reason it was short of 150db mark. Remove those 4 subwoofers and put them in the new sealed box of the same size. Definitely two sealed boxes will produce more SPL.

[@HifiVega]

convair52 I think you’re onto something

[@convair52]

@@HifiVega Yup you're right. Ive been studying about transmission line enclosure because I'm fascinated by the sound of Bose Acoustic Wave Music System CD-2000 I repaired recently. It sounds big (especially in a distance) for such a small single woofer hidden in its compact enclosure.

What microphone did you use to measure the sound level?

Did you try different frequencies in the s-10 ?was that the best run , just curious 👍🏻

[@HifiVega]

charlie francis I only tried a few tracks because the S10 isn’t running and I didn’t wanna make the neighbors hate me lol

Just got to go over and get that neighbor interested and then he'll be banging with you!!! Lol

Try porting the box or build a better box I know it’s budget but just to see

[@trecedaves3159]

Box looks awsome! The score surprised me with the swap meet subs. I'm wondering what it might have done firing down. Kinda like a home subwoofer.

[@HifiVega]

Trece Daves who knows... I’m not done playing with this enclosure yet, but only done as far as my official $150 Challenge score
