lol when i saw him plug the sub in the socket, i was like damm thats some realm of excursion status

anyways, they installed 4 Jlw7s in a huge ported box with 4 1k watt jl amps to each sub.. thats crazy

i wonder how 4 xxx wouldve handled that

 

the xxx can take some abuse. i rather see 4k watts going towards two MT 18s...

 

XXX can definatly take some abuse...I got a 12" XXX n a snailshell, and its getting close to 2000w. I'll get some pics, and maybe a vid soon...

 

Not possible or just a waste of amps......

No W7 can handle anywhere close to 4kw, especially ported...

Maybe you meant to say 4kw total. One 1000/1 per 13W7, 4 13W7's.

 

I know it's nothing compared to that setup, but I was messing with my Dad's car today and jeebus my right ear still doesn't feel the same

 

Sorry for jacking the thread, OT....

My ears are definitely used to alot of bass but it still hurts sometimes when I hear something really loud. It seems the dirtier the bass is, the more it hurts. Amazingly, my hearing is better than most people I know.

I might post pics of my new 3000wrms amp. Going to use it to for 2-12" arc flatline subs. Supposedly it's better than the W7.

 

I saw the Flatline subs at SEMA....... :lickout

get them.

 

excuse my slanggg

neways i meant 4 JL amps putting out 1thousand watts each

how does 4k watts from one amp to one sub, with 4 subs make any sense?

 

your ears dont get used to bass or music....thats just you starting to loose ur hearing.

 

4kw from 4 amps to 4 subs....

JL 1000/1=1kw
4 JL 1000/1's=4kw
4 JL 1000/1's powering 4 W7's
1 JL 1000/1 per JL W7

 

True.... but I can still hear really well....

 

I'm sorry, but your lack of knowledge must be cleared up. With proper crossover set up, a sub in a ported inclosure can typically handle up to 6 times its rated power at the tuned port frequency. It is the lack of power handling below the tuned frequency of the box that yields danger. I have seen a kicker 8" solobaric, in a ported box, with 6000 watts of power break 158DB at a show in a ford Ranger pick up truck. When using this kind of power, the time that it can be run without overheating is limited, but it can, and has been done.

 

that was a crazy set up.

 

158? your hurting my pride...

 

yeah but isn't that way over the thermal limit of the voice coils? with that much power going to them...i wouldn't be surprised if the vc's started to melt.

 

for burps it'll be ok.

 

last time i checked nobody uses ONE dub 7 with 4k watts of clean power for anything spl related. but maybe i am wrong, but for now i agree with Gordon.

 

i know, but it's like plugging in a cheap sub into an outlet, it won't last long. (i'm sure you seen Brad do this plenty of times )

 

Please don't post if you don't know wtf you're talking about.

 

heh getting back to the question...

yes, i did see it and that was a craaazzyyy set up. with the ping pongs and glass of water. geeeez!

 

Yea its especially funny how a shop would something like that on TV. In the hopes of getting customers? After seeing how they treat peoples cars? That episode and a whole lot worse Ive seen. What a great way to promote a business. Although I can expect that with a Douche like Will running it.

 

i cant beleive that guy dave and Darryl got fired.... i dont want to watch the show no more, those guys were good and shouldnt have been fired. well atleast Darryl

 

Dave was a ghetto @ss douche. He deserves to have his hands cut off. Fu(k theives.

 

they were like family too. i was real shocked..

 

lol i have an idea!!! im going to the shop, let them install a huge *** stereo system in my car, and i wont pay. so then ill get to be on TV BICHES!

 

I'm shocked you're in college...

 

lol what? ill be representin maxima.org

 

no you wont, we'll deny you're ever a member here to save our faces...
