Hi all, long time reader first time poster.
Just to fill you in, 2 months ago I had some extra money and decided to buy some Klipsch RF3 towers and RC3 center, that were for sale locally. Well then it all started. These were the first real set of speakers that I have ever had. They handle bass well but I obviously needed more. So, I had a JL 10w0-8 sub that was in a car i had in high school. So I hooked it up to my old Onkyo receiver. It put out a lot better sound than the the "Home theater in Box" came with.
After a few weeks I noticed a staticy sound when "s's" were said in dialogs and in music. So I had a friend come over with his Onkyo 605 and we hooked it up to my Klipsch's. Boom, I got the bug. Instantly resolved the problem and I fell in love with my speakers.
Within a couple of days I had an Onkyo 607 in the mail. Then I had to fix the sub problem. I needed an amp(at the very least). So I also ordered a 240w Dayton off PE. I did some research and found an enclosure diagram on JL's website and built a sealed box to their specs, .75 cu/ft. Then found the winisd program and am still playing with it(kinda having a hard time). Winisd said I needed to build a 1.1 cu/ft box sealed, oh well.
That brings us to this point. I have not received the amp or the receiver yet.
The help I need is with winisd and with another sub.
Is there a guide on how to use the program? A terminology guide?
Also, I have used JL audio a lot in car audio and love them, I understand that subs are somewhat purpose built but how do you guys fell about the W3v3?
here are the specs from JL's website.
DC Resistance (Re) 3.563 ohm
Driver Displacement 0.071 cu. ft. / 2.01 liters
Effective Pistion Area(Sd) 80.600 sq. in. / 0.0520 sq. m.
Efficiency (1W/1m) 87.15 dB SPL
Electrical "Q" (Qes) 0.47
Equivalent Compliance (Vas) 2.844 cu. ft. / 80.54 liters
Free Air Resonance (Fs) 26.72 Hz
Mechanical "Q" (Qms) 7.57
Net Weight 14.50 lbs. / 6.58 kg
Nominal Impedance (Znom) 4 ohm
One Way, Linear Excursion (Xmas) 0.510 in. / 13.0 mm
Reference Efficiency (no) 0.31%
Thermal Power Handling (Pt) 500W
Total Speaker "Q" (Qts) 0.44
Are these good specs?
Sorry for the ignorance, just trying to remedy it.
Thanks for all the help.
