KevinZA1 Unregistered guest | Hey Everyone, I have been looking at these message boards for some time before I had made my mind up to buy my sound system. I have just entered my car in a local sound off, and took home first prize in the novice class. I pushed out 143.2db, legal! + seats and backboard were still on. |

Anonymous | Very nice! |

KevinZA1 Unregistered guest | I used 2 Coustic CF 12s and A solid Audio Amp, 760w@2ohm...built the box myself 1.5ft. Not very expensive stuff... Very happy with my results. |
|
wow_ Unregistered guest | you hit pretty damn hard with those unrecognized stuff. sometimes name brand is just a waste of money!!!what amp did u used and sealed or ported? |
|
KevinZA1 Unregistered guest | Coustic has been around for some time now... please be open minded. Their carbon fiber series is really something, 400w RMS, 3" voice coil... stiched cone to surround. You not only hear the quality but can visually see the quality in the Sub.. see for yourself do a search in google for coustic cf124 or visit http://www.coustic.com/ I did some research before i bought these subs and had to find the line between quality and cost. I didnt want to spend too much but also wanted something above average. So these subs were my answer. The Amp used was truly unkown. SOLID AUDIO F11D.. but it is a mono CLASS D amp, and it sure does not look cheap. 1100w @1ohm. at high vol. for about 20mins of use, it only feels warm. These amps are made in USA the same guys that make Cutting Edge amps |

I used to sell and install Coustic amplifiers and signal processors at our shop. My first system I built, many years ago, used Coustic amplifiers, and one of their crossovers. They do make good products for the price. Good entry level company, similar to JBL in features and quality. |

wow_ Unregistered guest | where can i buy solid audio stuff? |

Bronze Member Username: KrazykSouth Afica Post Number: 14 Registered: Oct-04 | Check out these websites, if want more info. on the AMPS. as i said these amps are not expensive. I paid R1800 Rands which is about $250. Look at the Class D range very powerful yet compact. http://www.dragondistributing.com/solidaudio.htm http://www.12volt.com/archives/2003/us100603.html http://www.solidaudiousa.com/ |

Bronze Member Username: KrazykSouth Afica Post Number: 15 Registered: Oct-04 | Glasswolf... At the moment I have used a port tuned to 35htz.. this gave me a reading of 143.2db Would it make a difference if I used higher frequency shorter ports eg. 45htz or 50htz? |

Gold Member Username: GlasswolfNorthWest, Michigan USA Post Number: 6189 Registered: Dec-03 | yes. try tuning the box to about 65-70Hz actually it'll sound lousy, but it'll be right near the resonant frequency of the cabin so it'll be at peak efficiency. that'll get your best SPL. |
|
wow_ Unregistered guest | ok, i went here http://www.solidaudiousa.com/frame.html but they stop selling all class D's?{{{:-( that's sad. ebay, no luck. this sucks... |
