Bronze Member Username: RidinspinnasCayuga, Ontario Canada Post Number: 74 Registered: May-06 | Ok i have an 18" eclipse titanium pro sub, this things a monster ok, its 3000 watts rms 5000 peak, quad 1 ohm voice coil, and has an x max of 4", this is in a custom box that is built exactly to its specs, i am currently purchasing a Memphis Mojo 4kw amp which is 4000 watts rms @ 1ohm and is 1 ohm stable obviously, this will be sitting in my 1998 ford expedition eddie bauer edition, this suv is huge, anyways, my buddy owns an alternator shop and i will be getting him to build me the biggest alternator he can make, i will have as many optimas as i need (not sure yet) and all the other equipment i need (if i need capacitors etc) i will be running two runs of 1/0 gauge wire through the expedition, and to the chasis, and will be doing double runs of 1/0 gauge when i do the big 3, how many dbs to you think i have a chance of hitting if i play all my cards right, and set this all up properly? my brothers friend had 2 jbl 18's 1000 watts rms each nothin special, pretty ugly sub with a couple good amps in his hatchbacl civic and he blew out his windshield, do u think mine could break a window or at least make the door move in and out lol? let me know thanks |

Silver Member Username: Trey4sportsPost Number: 937 Registered: Sep-06 | your box is so vital to your numbers. if you tune really high you will hit a big number but it will peak very easily meaning a ton of your music will be quite but a couple notes will be really loud. however if you sacrifice high tunning for low tunning you can get mildly loud at most all frequencys and will sound better, this is what most people do for a daily driving vehicle and the earlier strategy is used for competitors |

Bronze Member Username: RidinspinnasCayuga, Ontario Canada Post Number: 77 Registered: May-06 | ok so i should buy this amp from ronnie? and is this a good amp fer my sub? should i jus sell my sub and get somthin else, and o yeah can u guys tell me what xmax means? and after u explain tell me what the "xmax" is on ur subs? thanks |
|
Platinum Member Username: BestmankindLos Angeles, CA USA Post Number: 11964 Registered: Oct-05 | no. i was going to until i found someone locally. i figured it will be better for me cause i don't have to wait and if something happens he is only 30 minute drive away. |
|
Silver Member Username: Trey4sportsPost Number: 938 Registered: Sep-06 | xmax=excursion typically measured in voice coil overhang. some brands dont list XMAX because they measure xmax in a diffrent way (8mm in the gap). its not too terribly importnant for ported applications but its huge for sealed subs |
