Subwoofer Upgrade.

[Jamo]

Despite the compliments from quite a few forum members on my car sound, i haven't been very happy with the bass ouput for some time.

Time for an upgrade!

I have now bought a JL 10W6v2-D4 sub

Specs here http://www.jlaudio.com/subwoofers/10w6v2.html

If i get time i might attempt the Spare wheel sub box.

I bought this sub as it needs 0.5 to 1 cb ft to operate with most people using around 0.6 - 0.75.

The bass is very very clean, and i did want a kicker L7 but the deal fell through.

Just hope it arrives in good nick.

Hey - I'm interested, even if no one else is!!

Let me know if you need any help with the sub box again.

I am missing my ICE at the moment, the Head unit is off being repaired. (the Pre outs have failed..... )

Cheers,

Steve.

Jsaon, Keep me posted on the sub box if you go the spare wheel route since I would like to make one that will fit there too, so could make two at once and save of materials a bit?

Sounds good Jamo
I like the JL subs, very impressive!

Your car did sound very good when i last heard it, mines now improved with the PC controlling the output

Going to see how easy it is to make one first, if it's not to bad and the finish is acceptable i may produce a limited number.

Biggest thing for me at the moment is time, ain't got a lot of it!

Actually there's two things mate. I want to calculate the volume of your box, could you tell me the thickness of the mdf wood used? also i need to split the box into 2 trianglular boxes to calculate the volume so i need the base distance split.

Heres a pic to show what i mean

Yeh i'll get pics of my car, spent all of yesterday cleaning it after its 2000mile trip.
The PC is coming out for some mods to be made, but its pretty much good how it is, looks great, sounds excellent and gives me full control of all 4 speakers and sub individually, along with the equaliser on the PC.

Got a few more tricks going in as well once the bits are with me.
I'll try get pics up of my car while im doing the Worthersee stuff

My new sub is here, i might have a problem fitting it though

[Greg_S]

LOL, ive taken the plunge now too. Bought a focal polyglass 11" sub and an audison amp yesterday. once ive got the exams in the next two weeks out of the way I can set about fitting it.

I have a JL audio 12w6 and it is an amazing sub i am driving it with a Rockford power cap, Phoenox gold line driver and a Phoenix gold zx350 seriz amp, will destroy any 'boy racer' type subs! My mate has 2 12" sony 1200w and a 2 1000w sony amps and mine simply destroyes it...................................like hell!

And you will be v.happy you didnt get the kicker!
