My current Sound System
|
it is pointless to blast a stereo with cam mic. hearing distortion is not useful. focus on using the video to highlight the system installation.
|
8" sub is weak anyway
|
a properly done 8" can sound great. given his arrangement, it's probably loud enough.
|
I have a dual 8" setup in my room... its amazing and shakes my entire house(over 4000 sq ft) and its on one side of the house not the middle. One 8" could be great for a car there is no reason to have ppl 1 mile away hearing your cars system unless your at a show.

... I figured someone would be stupid and take that the wrong way, I am talking about the idiots that decide to play their system on max at 11pm or later when ppl are trying to sleep. Do what you want during the day but the night you should think about others before someone decides to follow you home and steal your system.

You said 1 - 8" was all anyone needed you never said that 1 - 8" was all anyone needed who drove around at night. You should stay out of the A/V section as you do not know very much. The 2 - 8's you have in your parents house work much differently playing on the flat floor in the square room then things work in the mobile environment. Keep hope alive and neophyte both have 2 - 15's in their cars, are they both stupid to you? I do not think either one is to me. |
ok, Im done arguing. Maybe I have to be more specific, first off my first post here was to defend the original poster, second when I said someone would be stupid I meant they would say something stupid or arrogant/sarcastic (I never called anyone with subs stupid.)

Size
8's done properly can sound amazing. I have two 10" Orion HCCA's in and Orion ported box powered by a Hifonics Titan 1508d with 4 gauge power wire all the way through. It sounds clean and LOUD. No one believes that they are only 10's, because they are powered properly and make a bang. It's still a work in progress, I need to Dynamat my trunk because there is to much shake and figure a way to better tune them with my stock headunit. For now the 10's and the JL Audio interior speakers are good though, i'm still new to the forum but I'll be posting up pictures soon.

i've done a single 10" ID10 vented (powered by JL 250/1) in a Scion xB and it was great - enclosure design and placement were key to success - this was rear facing in the driver corner, corner-loading was key.
I did a single 10" Ultra Subs LV10 (Powered by MTX 8302) in a custom center console in a 2001 Tundra. Sounds great as well. Down firing. The Scion tC has a single 10" Hertz Mille (powered by Audison LRx5.1k - $6k system) in a custom enclosure in the rear passenger corner. Amazing sub and very capable. We just ordered a new enclosure to change orientation - experimentation is key. The biggest challenge with smaller sub sizes is low frequency extension - so the goals of the system are important to consider and enclosure design is important. I ran a single 12 for a long time, and was happy. I've also ran 10's. I've ran four 12's. I run a pair of 12's now (powered by xtant 3300c) because of the Trunk Baffle (not true IB) configuration and it's effect on excursion capability. Soon, I will try a single Phoenix Gold Cyclone instead. A pair of high excursion 8's can do great in a car or a home theater system. in a home or a car, placement is important and has the largest effect on what you will hear. 8's offer more flexible mounting locations. in an Accord, the rear trunk corners are excellent locations for 8's. all that said, i'm doing a new build for a friend with a single 18" FiBL (powered by Massive Audio N4) and the enclosure will be massive, include concrete, and a horn baffle - it will be convertible between daily SQ and comp SPL. |
