Re: Need new sub, thought i would build one!


ok i finally was able to put some more numbers up, but im still not sure which weight i should use. the SPL meter did not come with any instructions sssoo i just measured it with both. i first measured it at 0 db on my receiver, then i measured it just under clipping and then ran them again. here are the numbers, (no i cannot write this clean it was my girl friend lol). i think i just might need a bigger amp because it moves air... a lot. it shook a big glass dish off the fridge up stairs and it exploded on the floor. the thing is, i can go pretty loud with it with test tones, but as soon as i try to tun the amp up on say, War of the worlds, then the amp clips . im not sure if putting the sub in a sealed box would make any difference or not, maybe a smalled driver.... i dont know help! thanks

Eric
