removable sub

motoextreme · 11-29-2009, 10:41 PM

Not sure if you saw my pictures, its a bit big to pull in and out but as you can see there is no way to tell I have a system if I didnt have the Alpine head unit. Stereo hits pretty hard with a single 12". I don't really listen to rap or anything, more Alternative and Rock but either way, very deep base, I put it on Zero and the drums or movies are amazing. Here's my set up and if you wanted it removable you could just build it with quick connects.

Good luck man.

You might be able to dip lower into the frequency range with ported but it is not going to be tight as a sealed.

Ported (Pros)
. Much Much Louder!!! (3-6db Increase)
. Increased Efficiency, Increased Low Frequency Output, Relatively Low Distortion!

Sealed (CONS)
. Efficiency Vs. Output

Two things that correlate to the subject at hand. Big, you know your stuff and you are correct about the ported subs not being as solid and tight as a sealed sub. Even with a custom built box you are still going to have that boomy sensation from the air exiting the port. Now saying this you will be able to go lower in the frequency range as you mentioned. For people into rap they do not much care for how good the bass is as long as it is loud. Which is fine. Also in a small car like the Z a ported box would be the last thing I install in one.

Second thing Conch you need to get off your high horse and realize that you are not gaining any respect nor the attention you are trying to get. Pioneer has some good products but as time and people have told. That is not the case anymore. I have been in the business for 15 years and I have seen the best of pioneer and now the worst. Leave big alone and stop crapping up everyone's threads.

Ported boxes use a vent (called a port) to reinforce low bass response. You get more output than you would from a sealed box at any given amplifier wattage. Some people prefer the sound of ported boxes for rock, heavy metal, or any hard-driving music.

You just proved one of my points that ported is louder. But that does not mean that it is better for sound quality.

How does that even come close to the subject?

I agree I rode in a Z for 3 days and it was much quitter than my civic was. Very nice ride IMO and adding dampener to remove road noise I find myself asking what road noise? The Z is very solid, I agree Division.

Nice man did you condition the wood with anything? Well MDF

motoextreme · 11-29-2009, 10:59 PM

Sorry to say I had a shop do it. Not really sure what they used but they used velcro on the bottom so it doesnt move, they used a very lightweight board on top (the 3 panels) with a thick metal screen so I can still put things in and the sound is amazing!

Not sure about the other set ups but you can put a DVD on whilst music is playing through the ipod and they wired it so it all works weather your driving or parked. Blue tooth cuts everything off too with touchscreen and voice recognition. Pretty sweet set up but I already took a little heat from the other guys about adding weight, fact is I'm not racing the car just yet and if I do I can slide it out pretty quick.

I really like alpine, sounds exceptionally clear. They picked the sub, used to run with JF, Fosgate, etc in High School but that was a very long time ago.. Whatever this sub is, sounds great!

Thx for the compliment though, from you that means alot, you seem to be quite the expert from the posts I've read.

I am not asking anything about reducing noise in my car. Stop messing around and posting worthless junk. I was simply comparing the fact that my car is nosier than the Z.
