wow that was a good thread about tuning the db and the affects that alter its sound output.
I am quite happy with mine right now. mostly because there is no way in hell I will ever get that speaker cradel to move anywhere. haha, I guess I did it in general over kill fashon.
its cool.
altho -
I am probly going to take the lid off it, and round out the circle port ( half moon or what ever )
and your saying I should round the edges of the baffle piece that is on the speaker cradel? im not shure how I would go about making it a 45deg angle since its already installed. and never coming out. haha. do you think smoothing the harsh edges off will help?
my current plans are for a mini wicked one - around 32" by 18or20"
im going to use a pair of 8" drivers
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&sspagename=STRK%3AMEBTO...I got on ebay for super cheap. less than $50 for the pair shipped.
hope they will do something in a wicked one. on a plus note for them their magnets are rated at 60 wich is pretty big for a little 8" sub. generaly bigger magnets are good in small enclosures right?
I also hooked up my db in my car ( what a tiny little thing it is inside ) to my 600w bridged amp. so there is now 600w pushing my db10" it sounds real good. ( my 600w amp has more tuning options, and I finaly got it to sound "crisper" ) nice bass and a pretty big spectrum of sounds it produces. but like before, some songs I listen to it just pounds like crazy.
and on some other songs it sounds muffled and or muddy. ( not many songs like that but a fiew )
there are 2 main bass line songs ive been tuning it to,
whoop that trick - from the hustle and flow sound track, - highly recomended bass track -
aint nuthin but a g thing - from dr dre and snoop,
that and a variety of realley hard house / rave music.
so some time before the new year, I plan to have my wicked one built, so I can give a head to head test from my current db, and the wo, to see who will win in sound quality, and wich box will stay in my car.
