grease dog Unregistered guest | i finally got it! i finally bought my brahma 12" i got it for $270. is that a good deal??? the only thing i'm down about is that its the mark I. how do you guys think the first generation sub will do? its not blown, cosmetically perfect. but how does it compare to its younger brothers? |

|
grease dog Unregistered guest | apocalypse, does the sub still play good even with the slap? |

Silver Member Username: Addicted2bassMiami, Florida USA Post Number: 957 Registered: Nov-04 | yeh the sub is still soudns fantastic and IMO one of the best soudning high excursion subwoofers ever made so far. |

Silver Member Username: Addicted2bassMiami, Florida USA Post Number: 958 Registered: Nov-04 | yea and it only happens when you're blasting the sub in most cases if not all. tinsel lead slap check that out. |

Gold Member Username: InvainMichigan United States Post Number: 3377 Registered: Aug-04 | Link doesn't work. If you do have slap though, try cutting two pieces of felt, and gluing it onto the cone right behind the tinsil leads. |
|
grease dog Unregistered guest | now the only thing i think i have to worry about is what kind of amp to use and how big of an alternator. i know i want a sealed box, maybe 1.5 cubic feet, i see that most brahmas arent mounted in small boxes. but i'm thinkning a jbl 1200.1, but i cant find one, and maybe a 180 amp alternator. what do you guys think??? |
|
grease dog Unregistered guest | i was able to work the link, anyways, i wanna get the woofer in a 1.5 cubic foot sealed enclosure, and probably get a jbl 1200.1 for it, with a 180 amp alternator, what you guys think? |

Gold Member Username: InvainMichigan United States Post Number: 3380 Registered: Aug-04 | JLB should push it just fine. I'm not really sure about the older Brahma enclosure recomendations though. |
