SIZE:
32" wide x 12.75" tall x 14" deep
The
Inverted Wedge Design was done for 10 and 12 inch drivers as a sound
quality and SPL box. Originally done with cars in mind we
have found it to also work well in the home as an audiophile quality
subwoofer. This particular design was one of our most popular
around the time we did the Deathbox. It was featured in our
1991 Decware box catalog and could be found in many serious competition
cars during those early IASCA days.
It
has 3 main features that set it apart from other box designs
around the same size:
1)
It pre-loads the drivers against the floor of the vehicle /
increasing damping and power handling.
2)
It couples more bass to the interior cabin space then any other
box design of the same size.
3)
It has 8 times the physical coupling to the vehicle with over
1 lb per square inch verses the normal 0.13 lb per square inch
of a normal box.
What
all this means is tight, deep, loud non-fatiguing bass. In
hatchbacks or larger trunks it simply kicks ass. It's a classic
lesson in how the right box design can give you up to 4 times more
bass from the same pair of woofers. Your amp will run cooler,
clip less, draw less current from your charging system, have more
headroom and lower distortion as a result.
Designed
for woofers that are used in sealed boxes between 1/2 and 3 cubic
feet. We always ran a pair of 8 ohm woofers in parallel for a 4
ohm load. (Remember bridging a stereo car amplifier makes
the amplifier see only 1/2 the actual speaker load so this example
creates a 2 ohm load for the amp).
