Hey all. my new sub amp is due to arrive saturday (unluckily without active x-over, which has to be sent from Tai- -wan and this means about 4 weeks waiting) and while i'm waiting for the amp i thought buying another of the cheapie woofer which i have in my db-10, use it single for a week to break-in and then clamshell my two cheapies.
is iso worth it ? dirt dawg said it is good when pushing the system to the ragged edge. steve said in an old post that iso halfes the distorsion. what do you say, is it a good ideea to buy another cheapie ? or save the money and buy a better sub ?

Adrian,

I'm going with Gex on this one!

Adrian-you mentioned the ragged edge and  brought it up.
if I am wrong I am wrong don't be sorry.

I can pump more power through a iso loaded sealed enclosure without it distorting, but if you can't then whatever.

Two do not have to work as hard and less excrusion and distortion problems. Maybe Ive been lucky.

If your looking for twice the handling power, your right its likely not going to happen.

have a nice day,
I am off work now and can go home and get some sleep

Hey j-rock its called the disapearing post syndrome and I kinda started it. Now I got a fix it.
No worries everything will be back to its normal confusing self in no time.

I would be interested in when you change things around and what results you have with Cheap Vrs "good".
One thing I have noticed on this forum is that some cheapies can make pretty good sound.
It's like the science of speaker building if you stick to the rules you pretty much win all the time. When you don't stick to the rules you pretty much lose, but there are those odd successes.
I liked experimenting and seeing what happens, and I have had the strangest successes, but I don't think I could count the failures, my fingers don't go that high.

It's fun but a huge waste of time after awhile. So following the rules is a lot smarter.

the fs is higher than a infinity
34fs/.47 = 72  50 and down for sealed is the ideal
car subs are usually middle ground for sealed and ported.

If your happy with the sound thats the whole purpose, who cares what anyone else thinks.

Ah finally proof why men are better at math than woman
