Subwoofer displacement
Hi all,
I did not like the sound of my Kicker CompVR 12 in a 1.75 cu. ft ported (or vented) box. I moved it in a sealed 1 cu. ft and it now sounds awesome. The subwoofer displacement is more important in the new box. I mean that the sub moves more back and forth in the sealed box than it used to in the ported box. Same music, same volume, same amp settings. This is what I see with my own eyes, no measurement tool. How is this possible ? Andre. |

This required less actual work on the part of the sub. In a sealed box, the sub itself is responsible for more sound, so to get the same level of volume, more power is required. The advantage of a sealed box is usually a flatter response curve and higher power handling. Of course, a well built ported box can give you a reasonably flat response curve without requiring lots of power, but then they tend to become "unloaded" at low frequencies. -- thelizman "I didn't steal the FAQ either" teamROCS Car Audio Forums http://www.teamrocs.com/caraudio/ teamROCS Car Audio News http://www.teamrocs.com/news/ "It's about the music, stupid" This post is Copyright (C) 2004.

Thats the sub's low end extending down into lower frequencies. Many ported
designs produce little output below the port tuning frequency. I usually prefer sealed enclosures for this reason. Garrett "Anb" wrote in message om...

That would depend on how low you tune it. Ported enclosures can go a

If you tune around 20-25hz (where most all MUSIC wont venture), you wil
achieve more low end than any sealed box will give you. Plus a prett flat frequency response according to WinISD.... of course the second i goes in a car, cabin gain will throw a big peak or two into it. Thi is why sealed boxes work so well in car audio- the rolloff in low en is boosted naturally by most cars' cabin gain leaving a relatively fla response with no EQ. The reason the sub moves more in a sealed box has less to do with th sealed box- and all to do with what the ported box did. At tuning, sub in a ported box will move VERY little. The port essentially i doing the work. Frequencies higher than tuning will eventually rol off to the same excursion levels as a sealed box. But below tuning, sub in a ported box will "unload" or act like it is free-air. The bo loses control over the cone and you risk blowing the sub fro overexcursion. This is why a subsonic filter is usually used on ported box, especially if the tuning frequency is high, meaning ther still be material being played under that frequency. On som "competition" high powered amps, you might see subsonic filter boasting extremely high slopes meant to protect the sub - jujumant ----------------------------------------------------------------------- CarAudioForum.com - Usenet Gateway w/over one million posts online View this thread: http://www.caraudioforum.com/showthr...threadid=17854 |

Here's another clue, there was but one reply above mine. I know you are
a smart guy, surely it wasn't that hard to deduce to whom I was speaking. *shrug* -- Audioholic I think his objection was based on the fact that not everybody uses newsreaders that thread OR newsreaders that keep posts on the server for very long. For instance, mine's configured to dump news messages after 3 days, so if someone replies to something that's 3+ days old and they don't quote, then I have no idea what they're talking about. That's why it's generally customary to quote (and trim quotes) on usenet. Since you're using some odd website to capture RAC posts, the format gets all screwed up and sometimes your reply doesn't even appear in the right order (for instance, see Lee's posts in the long FAQ thread). |

Audioholic - Epitome of the Clueless Newbie
Audioholic wrote:
Here's another clue, there was but one reply above mine. I know you are a smart guy, surely it wasn't that hard to deduce to whom I was speaking. *shrug* *sigh*. This is what I'm talking about. You are clueless. You have positively no idea how usenet works. To you this is just another bbs board in your browser. What you fail to realize is that lee is using software to pull posts off a server which was never meant to provide HTML encoded information. Usenet exists as a separate RFC which predates the World Wide Web. As such, there are distinct characteristics which separate the behavior of information stored as ascii files on a nntp server. There are no posts "above" yours. The post to which you responded is a separate message contained within a text file on an nntp server at Supernews Corp, and pretty much every other ISP which hosts an nntp service. That messages ID, reference, and timestamp place it as having occurred before another. However, its position in the file is based on when the server received it and appended it to the file. It is possible, even likely that the reply to which you responded is actually after your response on any given nntp server out there. Nntp serves expire messages when a specified age or disk quota is exceeded. This is set on an individual basis per nntp server. It is possible - even likely that - a messages content can get deleted, while replies remain. If you fail to quote, then the relevant statements lack context, and newsgroups in general become unreadable. In your little one dimensional world, everything is placed on a web page so you don't have to think too hard about whats going on. Thats fine. But what you need to recognize is that you are using a *******ised interface to access a service outside of CAF.coms bbs system. That too is fine, so long as you respect that. But, you don't. You're a clueless newbie who thinks that there is only one reply above yours. -- thelizman "I didn't steal the FAQ either" Before you ask a question, check the FAQs for this newsgroup at http://www.mobileaudio.com/rac-faq.

So... all I'm saying is, if you've got a good reason for why we should
try this other interface you are using... out with it! Don't just complain that others aren't using the same thing you are. Motivate us to actually do it to. Because it's usenet and that's how it works. Not just for rec.audio.car, but for all newsgroups. Google archives all of these posts, and that's how they do it too. It's a standard, and when people are using other means of posting, it really throws a wrench in the works. I personally don't care about the subtle nuances of posting, just as long as it doesn't screw it up for people who are accessing it legitimately. That means the following, in order of importance: 1) never ever post in html (CAF doesn't appear to do this, but I wouldn't know because my newsreader blocks all html messages anyway) 2) never post attachments (my newsreader blocks those too, especially due to virus concerns and spamming) 3) reply to the message you're responding to so that it threads correctly (unfortunately, CAF appears to be having a problem with this) 4) quote the text you're replying to (otherwise, people outside of CAF won't know what the hell you're talking about) 5) trim your quotes |

So try being productive... snip Try enlightening people. Maybe you missed the 20 or thirty times I replied to CAF posts and said "please quote the text to which you are replying". If you do a google search, you can even watch progression from "Please quote" to "****ing quote". I did my part, and I'm quite sure that every one of you is aware that there is an expectation of you to quote the text to which you are replying. Yet, some of your members are still deliberately and willfully fail to quote properly, such as delvryboy. If you as a group cannot excercise some semblence of self control over your own membership, that's your problem. When you spill your crap-flooding drivel into an entirely different part of the internet, then it becomes an issue of pollution. I don't know, but I'm pretty sure if you only had one vehicle to travel in, and it was a beat down Jalopy (as numerous people watching you drive by point out to you repeatedly), you might just entertain the thought of upgrading to a newer vehicle. I specifically dumped my nice shiney new car last year and got a good used jalopy. There's something to be said for jalopy. First, it won't depreciate 20% per annum, because it's already worthless. I don't have to make payments, because it's paid for. And lastly, the specific jalopy I selected is so easy to maintain that I'll likely have it for the next 17 years of its existence. Oh, and I can pay the entire 6 month insurance cost in one week of work, and still have enough left over for new subs. Irregardless, the point of your analogy is taken. Yes, I'd think that CAF members who post to rac through the gateway would want to do so in a manner which is acceptable to the already established user base, but they have made no attempt to demonstrate that, and a few have made blatent displays of disrespect for this mediums standards. Besides which, not once have any of you asked about the protocols. You've mocked it, rediculed it, and flaunted your disrespect of it. Under what basis am I to believe anyone at CAF has any ounce of respect for RAC, when the vast majority of you display nothing but unrepentant disrespect for everything in this forum? That's not the way to have communication, that's the way to prevent it... That's the way usenet works. I have explained this elsewhere. With NNTP, older messages expire from the server. Quoting the relevant text (and trimming the irrelevent text) provides a context for the response. and I don't think any of us want to downgrade (I'll tell you, our view allows us to view threads, in order, quotes being made to emphasize, not to fundamentally facilitate converation, able to scroll up and down, and read in order). Yet, all I have to do it twittle one letter, or add a single space, and your forums threading system goes to hell in a handbasket. A real newsreader offers all the features you named - in fact, bbs software is based on news reader features - and the ability to coherently thread messages according to the X-Ref message header. So... all I'm saying is, if you've got a good reason for why we should try this other interface you are using... out with it! Don't just complain that others aren't using the same thing you are. Motivate us to actually do it to. *sigh* It's not that you're using the assed up gateway software, it's that most of you have displayed open defiance of the community standards of not just RAC but usenet in general. Your arrogant attitudes are why just about everyone from RAC sees everyone from CAF as a bunch of immature little punks. The effort needs to start on your part to clean up the behavior of some of your members (we've had a long time problem with sl2perfect). You notice we no longer have this problem with AOLers, or WebTVers (MSN TV now). We don't even have this problem with other car audio forums which have a usenet gateway.

So... all I'm saying is, if you've got a good reason for why we should try this other interface you are using... out with it! it's about standards and protocols... quit ****ting in our damned jalopy... Don't just complain that others aren't using the same thing you are. Motivate us to actually do it to. **** off If you've got good reasons, then most likely we will understand them. some of you might... we are not the ones imposing ourselves... remember that... -- sancho |

You idiots from CAF can't understand why the legitimate users of rec.audio.car cannot stand you. It's not enough that you simply didn't know usenet protocol. Hell, different people have told you all several times. But this is yet another example - this "delvryboy" moron deliberately posts garbles messages in defiance of the acceptable community standard. You dillholes prove time and time again by your pompous arrogance that you have no intention of "contributing" to RAC, you simply want to use it as yet another dumping ground for your mindless spewage. Can you assholes not simply confine yourself's to some corner of your little web based bbs? You have to act like common ****ing children screw it up for everyone else? It's painfully obvious that you're BOTH ****ing cluless morons. There. That was simple. Now quit sucking each others dicks. |

geolemon has a stark moment of clarity
regardless, until just recently, this post being one of the firsts...you
have not told anyone the correct way to do it i went out and dug it up on my own just so you and humburto would stop your whinning all you do is bitch, bitch, bitch....you must drive your husband insane "thelizman" wrote in message ... geolemon wrote: So try being productive... snip Try enlightening people. Maybe you missed the 20 or thirty times I replied to CAF posts and said "please quote the text to which you are replying". If you do a google search, you can even watch progression from "Please quote" to "****ing quote". I did my part, and I'm quite sure that every one of you is aware that there is an expectation of you to quote the text to which you are replying. Yet, some of your members are still deliberately and willfully fail to quote properly, such as delvryboy. If you as a group cannot excercise some semblence of self control over your own membership, that's your problem. When you spill your crap-flooding drivel into an entirely different part of the internet, then it becomes an issue of pollution. I don't know, but I'm pretty sure if you only had one vehicle to travel in, and it was a beat down Jalopy (as numerous people watching you drive by point out to you repeatedly), you might just entertain the thought of upgrading to a newer vehicle. I specifically dumped my nice shiney new car last year and got a good used jalopy. There's something to be said for jalopy. First, it won't depreciate 20% per annum, because it's already worthless. I don't have to make payments, because it's paid for. And lastly, the specific jalopy I selected is so easy to maintain that I'll likely have it for the next 17 years of its existence. Oh, and I can pay the entire 6 month insurance cost in one week of work, and still have enough left over for new subs. Irregardless, the point of your analogy is taken. Yes, I'd think that CAF members who post to rac through the gateway would want to do so in a manner which is acceptable to the already established user base, but they have made no attempt to demonstrate that, and a few have made blatent displays of disrespect for this mediums standards. Besides which, not once have any of you asked about the protocols. You've mocked it, rediculed it, and flaunted your disrespect of it. Under what basis am I to believe anyone at CAF has any ounce of respect for RAC, when the vast majority of you display nothing but unrepentant disrespect for everything in this forum? That's not the way to have communication, that's the way to prevent it... That's the way usenet works. I have explained this elsewhere. With NNTP, older messages expire from the server. Quoting the relevant text (and trimming the irrelevent text) provides a context for the response. and I don't think any of us want to downgrade (I'll tell you, our view allows us to view threads, in order, quotes being made to emphasize, not to fundamentally facilitate converation, able to scroll up and down, and read in order). Yet, all I have to do it twittle one letter, or add a single space, and your forums threading system goes to hell in a handbasket. A real newsreader offers all the features you named - in fact, bbs software is based on news reader features - and the ability to coherently thread messages according to the X-Ref message header. So... all I'm saying is, if you've got a good reason for why we should try this other interface you are using... out with it! Don't just complain that others aren't using the same thing you are. Motivate us to actually do it to. *sigh* It's not that you're using the assed up gateway software, it's that most of you have displayed open defiance of the community standards of not just RAC but usenet in general. Your arrogant attitudes are why just about everyone from RAC sees everyone from CAF as a bunch of immature little punks. The effort needs to start on your part to clean up the behavior of some of your members (we've had a long time problem with sl2perfect). You notice we no longer have this problem with AOLers, or WebTVers (MSN TV now). We don't even have this problem with other car audio forums which have a usenet gateway.

at least being the fryguy is an entrance into the work force of america much better than reaching retiremant age and going out as a walmart greeter such as your self "Hi, my name is Lesvey, welcome to Walmart" "Les" wrote in message gy.com...

the common decency to know not to **** in someone elses house. It is incumbent upon YOU to learn proper etiquette for this group. It is not my job to train noobs. Also, it goes beyond mere etiquette. It's a matter of readability. I personally don't care about usenet etiquette (eg. top-posting, spelling, etc). But putting the response in the right spot and quoting the text that you're replying to are essential steps to take in order to provide a clear thought on usenet. When they don't do these things, no one knows what they're talking about and people immediately dismiss them as idiots. |
