CAR SUBWOOFER FOR HOME CINEMA?

[@acronus]

I've been using a pair of old 15" Rockfords for home theater subs for years. They're each in a sealed 4 cu/ft box and have no problem dropping into the 20 hz range. I power them with an old Peavey 8.5C commercial amp that I got for $150 cad. It's good for 425w/ch at 4 ohm.

[@DJ_Knite]

I have 5 car subwoofers in my house for my home theater, been using car subs for 15 years....gotta love it

[@WayneSoBlessed1]

can i use 2ohm car subwoofers with a 6 to 8ohm reciever???

[@MrRushifyIt]

It's not about how low your lfo goes, its more about driver control and signal processing. most of what makes subwoofers expensive is the processing and amplification. that's mainly why that sub was so expensive.

[@sharkfinn6469]

The receiver processes the signal

[@swift2765]

I had those exact speakers when I was 17. We bought the Sony system with rotating cd tray, it was made to look like a stack system but was solid apart from the turn table. It was £350 from Macro which was a fortune back then, I’m 36 now and wish I still had it

[@MyStonerMind420]

nice. This was bought at a Comet for about 800 I think, I was about 15 back then.

[@miksumasterjbl8899]

May i ask, what subwoofer is that, please? The magnets look cool.

[@JackCarver10]

Build a T-Line enclosre, man. I can help you calculate it. BUT this woofer has way too much depth lengthwise, so you may choose a 12 with good low bass capabilities

[@muckman5509]

Iv been using a Alpine type R 12" for 5 years now powered by a crown 1500W RMS amp for 5 years now and its still going strong and completely destroys anything iv ever bought previously including a dynaudio 12" sub that coasted over $2000

[@stevelovesgod]

The difference is one looks like furniture.... that's majority of the cost, plus the built in inverter so u can plug into a. Outlet

[@MysteriousSystems]

Ahhhh nice nice. I have a 12 and 2 15 inch subwoofers. 12 is on 1000 watts and I plan on getting a 6000 watt amp for the 15s, as the amp I had was not powerful enough and was clipping them. So I use it on another subwoofer and as soon as I have the money I'm getting a 6000 watt amp for the 15s lol. Wayyy overkill but I want to barely have to turn the amps up to have the subs moving so it sounds clean and I have lots of head room for lows, but that's just my preference. Anyways, great set up, keep up the good work!

[@KingABS]

Beast mode bass 💪 Lovely catty😻

[@MeatPopsycle]

Couple questions, if you don't mind. What is that amplifier that you are using to power this beast? Also, what's that program on the desktop that lets you fine tune the frequency curve? Thanks.

[@MyStonerMind420]

everything should be in the details my man

[@raylenestevedewater7335]

Yo Stone Man... I have a Question, just looking at car audio subs and the materials they use to make them makes me love it... Have you once thought about what it would sound like as a Pro audio system? Like normal PA speakers would use a 18 inch to play that kind of bass and still would not be as powerful - What about Adding Car Audio Subs to PA system playing Outdoors? ;P

[@MyStonerMind420]

you know, I've never thought about that. Sounds like a good idea too, but I'm not really familiar with PA gear.

[@raylenestevedewater7335]

I am quite fond of them and i must say i've come to really like car audio subwoofers more... i can't say that i'll do a video, but i will do a test and tell you all about the results... I'm thinking going with 12 inches and 15 inches with some kind of power mixer and then add some real instruments like a keyboard and a bass guitar to listen in on that combination, this might somehow really make a difference one day and we car audio subwoofer fans will finally understand there are more than two ways to use them... really nice video upload bro, you inspire me to try out something new! Keep on enjoying that lovely sub...

[@jacobcharlton4183]

How did you find those Sony s.a.w superwoofers , I’ve been looking for a pair for 3 years. Love your videos MSM keep it up 😁

[@jordan_aintloud9866]

Quick question, can I know the type of amp you used ?

[@jessever3655]

Hey man, just a quick question. I am about to buy a home theatre receiver and a 5.0 speaker set from jamo. I have a car amplifier and a car sub. Amp gives 3500rms and my sub is also the ascendant audio mayhem 18inch. I obviously would like to use the sub and amp for my home receiver. I have 4 x pc power supplies that deliver 12v each and 60 amps each so 240 amps in total, making the power supply for the amp plenty. On the home receiver there are 2x sub pre outs in the back. Do i just connect the 1 sub pre out to my amps line in? Or is there more to it? Been reading to much online and now im quite confused about it all. Some people say i need a high end receiver to be able to do that, some people say i need the balanced and unbalanced converter with cables, etc. So im a bit stuck. The receiver is onkyo tx-nr575e. In the manual it says the sub pre outs are for powered subwoofers.... anyway. Just really appreciate a short clear answer if it will just work and hook up as i had mentioned. Cheers.

[@MyStonerMind420]

yeah dude just connect it to the receiver via the pre-outs, it should work fine. The pre-outs are for a powered sub, meaning they don't just connect straight to the subwoofers coil, the subwoofer should be 'powered' by an amp, and that's what yours would be, as is mine.

[@jessever3655]

[@sunitadhyani1013]

@@shotbyrallo2566 I am trying the same, they both combined can take a 1000watt rms right? How does they sound? How low they get? Box design?

[@shotbyrallo2566]

@@sunitadhyani1013 I believe combined they do 1080 RMS which isn’t incredible but they are good bang for buck value IMO. I plan on having a dual woofer front left, front right, rear left, and rear right so over 4000 watts RMS spread throughout the room. There are much better subs out there for DIY building that give incredible performance per dollar but they are out of my price range especially if I want multiple subs. I haven’t finished building them yet so they’re still just sitting in their boxes. COVID, PS5 on day one, and a new baby, amongst other things has left me a bit distracted.

[@silverMDX]

so did having that SMD 18 that close to your tv effect the tv in any way?

dude you got all this high tech good quality stuff EXCEPT for those crappy sony speakers ??? OH AND i put my 10inch sub from my car in place of my 10 inch infinity house speaker woofer and alltho it takes little more volume from my receiver to get it bumpin it sounds fine

[@MyStonerMind420]

+KC SNOTREAL people assume, watch the Sony demo video, they're better than you think. Also, get an amp for the sub, don't use your receiver

[@erikbritz9425]

oky the double Plus(red) and double minus(black) when connected on the amps to half the Ohm the speaker uses I.E 4-8 ohm am i correct? and then youve wired it the same on the Dual voice coils? im asking cuz im getting a 15 inch competition sub and will be running it from my karaoke amp which runs at 8 ohms

[@MyStonerMind420]

not sure of what you're asking, but if you want to wire at a higher impedance such as 8ohms rather than 4, you should wire in series. The way I wired is parallel, that brings impedance down, (to 1ohm in my case). Hope that helped :)

[@ImBouttaBust69]

Erik Britz positive and negative?

[@erikbritz9425]

My Stoner Mind yes i want to wire up from 4ohm to 8ohms cuz i have a PA amp rated at 8ohms so i dont want to overheat it when jamming

Let me tell you.....Jurassic Park sounds WAAAAYYYY BBBIIIIGGGGEEERRRR when you're hearing T-Rex footsteps reproduced through some Rockford 15's at 4 ohm versus a 10" 8 ohm stock offering! The key is to have a home theater amp with 4 ohm capabilities. Only once did I have an amp go into "protect"....because I bridged the amp on a low impedance sub....user error. At any rate, keep up the good vids! JMc from Big D!

[@gator_productions]

Why do speakers have two voice coils

[@shotbyrallo2566]

Gator Productions Different wiring options for flexibility with a range of amplifiers. Dual 4 ohm VC wired in series is 8ohm. Wired is parallel is 2ohm. Add a second DVC speaker and you’ve got even more flexibility depending on how you wire the speakers together.

plz help me i guess that sub is about 3500 rms and that amp produces 1800 rms so your sub rms is more than the amplifier is it ok or not....??

[@MyStonerMind420]

The amp does 2000rms at 2ohm, but yes, it is okay! My car amplifier has more than 3x the power potential of this amp. The subwoofer can handle more than 3500, they just say 3500 to be safe.

[@darrikthomas1284]

My Stoner Mind so can i use a sub with 1500 rms with this amp

[@MyStonerMind420]

yes totally. Obviously you'll want to be careful about giving it too much volume, but keep in mind that giving a lot of volume to a speaker with a less powerful amp can send an "unclean" signal to the speaker (clipping etc) which can potentially damage a sub. Whereas doing the same with a more powerful amp, is less likely to do damage due to the signal being cleaner.
