MTX Woofer Specs
I'm thinking of installing a pair of MTX Thunder 8000 T8104A's in my
truck. I went to the MTX web site to look at box response specifications for this particular woofer. I noticed for a sealed enclosure, the response specs don't change much for a .75Ft^3, .88Ft^3, and 1.00Ft^3 boxes. The only thing that seems to change is the woofers Qtc. I was under the impression (obviously wrong) that with a bigger enclosure the sub setup would play lower and SPL would be a little higher. From the specs it seems as if there is no real benefit going from a .75Ft^3 to a 1.00Ft^3 enclosure. Could some one please explain a little more, I think I'm missing something. Check out the specs at http://www.mtx.com/caraudio/products...ers/T8104A.pdf Thanks |

How can you tell that from the numbers?

Thanks * Actually, the most improtant number in a woofer's specs (before you build the box) is the EBP (Efficiency Band-width Product), look it up if you need a deffinition. But, now armed with that, you go sealed or ported. Size matters, its not just a saying. If you can, always build big enough. With the right parrameters and the right calculations - LONG explanation - you can come up with the box YOU want. If you want some help try a local shop or go to 'this website' (http://www.linearteam.dk/) they have a free program for just your problem. -- soundcheckpro ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Posted via RealCarAudio.com - The checkmate of the car audio community. http://www.realcaraudio.com soundcheckpro's Profile: http://www.realcaraudio.com/forums/m...fo&userid=1615 View this thread: http://www.realcaraudio.com/forums/s...?threadid=9276 |
