Secrets to making your subwoofers loud! Episode 1, Space is Bass - SPL

[@f.j.z3213]

I have used that program my self, and its definitely a decent start. But I've learned its acutely easier to use the "max spl" graph/function then the transfer function. Also, this program measures at rated rms, and does not dobbel it if you dobbel the subs. Ps: adjust the scale to 6 or 12 db ad go down to 2k not 22k hz makes the graph easier to read.

Great advice! Thank you! It has always irritated me that it doesn't adjust for doubling the subs.

Speaking of space what is the difference in output with (2) subs in a smaller than recommended enclosure vs just (1) of those subs in a 1.5x larger than recommended enclosure assuming all the other conditions remain the same’ish?

Great question! I actually experimented with two 15's in a 6 cubic foot box and then one 15's in the same size box last year. There are some key differences, I will do a video on it this week for you!

Subwoofers are made to play in a minimum and maximum size enclosure befor u start to lose db so people dont go and build a 10 cubic box for a single 15 it would not sound good and it would not triple your spl it will damage your sub

Thank you for making that point, I didn't clarify that in the video!
