just a question' why did you decide to face them up? also what did you meter at?

why not? ha!Originally Posted by bigkoala1
mostly because it's a SQ set-up and didn't want the subs to overpower everything by having them pound directly into my back or right behind my ears...
the meter numbers?i haven't metered it. i won't meter it. i have no interest in the SPL numbers - more interested in the frequency peaks/valleys and the imaging of the front stage for overall sound quality. (i'm more old school that way...) don't get me wrong... i'm sure it would 'meter' well. i mean, they're two resonant engineering 12" MX's with a solid supply of power!
(sipping beer...)
at one point i was even thinking about putting the subs in an acoustic suspension enclosure to maximize SQ - but didn't have the mono power from the M2 to feed em' what they'd need in that type of environment (less efficient enclosure). In the end, I went with the bass reflex enclosure for more efficiency, but again, didn't want em' pounding directly into my back/ears so up they went!
besides, i had *really* good results from my two mtx 10's in two decware deathbox's that had ports firing up (granted different enclosure, etc., etc...)...
(sipping more beer...)
the spl craze is sad to me. Just my view. There's more to music than trying to figure out how much money you can spend to loose your hearing in the shortest amount of time...
i dunno. i need another beer... ha!

I'm pretty new to this forum. I think its a great thing and im glad I found it. I am on here to make friends . that being said....why not? ha!

thats ok that you have no interest in spl. dont really care. like i said before just a question. as far as firing the subs up ive had more luck firing them back with a vented enclosure, in my vx. i seem to get cleaner, tighter, bass. of course after adding a few rolls of dynamat. (i know, different subs amps boxes etc)hence the question. anyways why mx's for sq and it seems that the dd amps are made for spl. 1% thd??
Im not hating on your system, its a fantastic install, with good componets. just conversation.
so have another beer and learn me some more.

how did i miss this reply?
koala,
big part of my involvement in mobile audio is from a hobbyist perspective - or 'daily driver' - with sq in mind as the overall goal. (altho the thought of competing does peek my curiosity!)
my definition of being a hobbyist is exploring, testing and taking chances on brands that interest me - and the only way to entertain that curiosity is to dive in and give em' a try. once that's done - i'm able to form opinions on the equipment - and refine as necessary (to my liking).
thus the choice of the dd amps.
now the re mx's?... sexy, eh? i had the opportunity to hear them in a (optimum volume) acoustic suspension enclosure. i was sold. so i figured i'd give em' a try, and i did! loved them in the vx, but not so much with the ported enclosure i built. (read above for why i decided to go ported if you're wondering...) that's why they went to a new home.
i saw another post from ya where you ask 'what's next'? well, i usually am not one to spout off about 'i'm going to' or 'eventually i'll have' or 'i plan on' getting this equip or that equip. (in other words - i usually wait until i have it and *then* post about it.) however, i think i have enough past history where folks know i'm not just a schit talker - so i'll share some of what i'm *thinking*...
* improved signal quality
* more efficiency
* better imaging
* improved damping/slew rate
* less 'boom' - more tight, low, clean bass
some products i'm researching right now to help me achieve that: zapco, fi, sundown, jl, us amps
not that those are the only ones in the running. they're just the ones i'm doing research on currently. we'll see. i have a long way to go.
i love this stuff.

i did some stuff with ddaudio back when i was competing. i had a 255 sq" port! with an 8 cu ft box! for one of their 9515's. i was hitting 152dbs with 2000 watts. to my amasement the sound quality was there. they have a new z series sub you should check out.
