too true

[Richard148]

I believe the correct term is 'Ya cannae polish a turd!'

I think it's pretty hard to get a good sound in a car, it's just not designed for it.

Oh, how wrong you are . . . . .

It may not be designed for it, and it may indeed be a very hostile environment . . .

But you can certainly get some awesome sounds inside a car

 8-)

is there any where designed for sound systems except recording studios theaters concert areas i cant think of any/many more

[dubford]

thought this might help ... finished it middle of last week






sorry about the pic qulityt

Personally I have always preferred the Quality route. Although My VX Royale coupe had 2x12" in a large cabinet driven by a 2 channel amp, then a seperate graphic equalizer driving a four channel amp to 3-way 6x9's at rear, 2-way units in cabinets screwed to front doors, and two tweeters mounted on the dashboard, Nothing nowadays, except this was circa 25 years ago...

However I am itching to fit an old low power valve power amp, well bolted, on rear parcel shelf of my Mig, driving a pair af BBC LS3/5a speakers.

I love the oldskool route.

For me its high efficient drivers and low tuned large Ported Cab's.....of course you need to upgrade a stock Midbass unit!

But i love a flat 20-40 hz!

What are your box Spec's Dubford ( Cab size and vent tuning?)

[dubford]

pheonix gold amps

900.1 1Kw amp for bass
4x150w for the mids
2x kfc-3011 kenwood subs (not really my choice but cheep as chips)
box tunes factory standard 2cu ft per inclosure cant remember what there tuned too (designed ages ago but only just built)

standard mids for the time beeing but got some alpine type R stuff kicking around so might throw that in.

0 gauge power to the back in a nice blue .... sexy

LS3/5As would be wasted in a car IMHO. However, you might be interested in my mate's web site. His father was involved with the original design at the BBC. http://www.ls35a.com/

What size is the Cab in the Iso setup?

My genral rule is for say 3 cuft for a single 12 and around 2.5 for iso'd pair.

Saying this because motor strength of the Iso'd couple tends to push the Woofer to xmax fairly quick!

So Box damping is raised with box being smaller!

I heard 4x15 inch JBL gt4's in a mazda (of my mates) iso'd in 7.5 cuft with 1600wrms, it got loud and to x max fast.

[Richard148]

the two chambers differ in size as well as do the the ports and length and diameter to give a wider sub frequency response the spl of each apposing sub stops over exertion giving a more controlled stability
i will measure up and let you know
