    can someone double check my modeling QES820

    HI all - I don't have a windows machine and thus can't use WINISD, so I've been playing with speakerboxlite.com Can someone cross-reference this to see if what I'm seeing is true? - CDT QES820 8" sub - about -3db @ 28hz - flat 0db @ 35hz and up - in a vented enclosure with the following...

    Kicker key500.1 or bass processor

    I have a Stelvio in which I plan to replace the factory 8” sub for a CDT QES820. I already have an LC2i and NVX BDA7051 amp. So it will be a good match if I wire the CDT for 4ohms. my question though is if I should pickup a bass processor to replace the LC2i (just in case the Harmon Kardon amp...

    8w3v3 ported or 10w7 sealed?

    😂😂 I actually have a CNC at my shop (I make drone parts for a living). It’s just that I got intimidated by all the tuning (equipment I don’t have), that steered me towards pre-fab. Well, actually in this case the sealed box happens to be coming with the 10w7. is there such thing as a small...

    8w3v3 ported or 10w7 sealed?

    thank you, I admit I’ve never ventured away from JL, but the price and the many many reviews was compelling. I will try to pickup that 10w7. If for whatever reason that got sold, there’s a 10w6 that popped upon the market

    8w3v3 ported or 10w7 sealed?

    If I did my math correctly, the sealed box the 10w7 is in is 1.46 cu/ft. So a little bit bigger than what JL recommends. I'm definitely NOT going for loud, so maybe sealed is going to be plenty for me here. That said, I've been looking at the Skar SDR-12 in their ported box, only because it's...

    8w3v3 ported or 10w7 sealed?

    the only reason is because I found that 10w7 in a sealed box for 320. Is the Skar stuff worth it? And SDR 10 in a ported box is only $150

    8w3v3 ported or 10w7 sealed?

    That sounds like a vote for putting the 8w3 into the slapbox

    8w3v3 ported or 10w7 sealed?

    That slapbox is $230 bucks and 20x12x9 the 10w7 is 320 bucks in a sealed 14.75x14.75x15.75 box. im thinking they’re both going to be a similar enough of a footprint in my cargo area that I should just get the 10w7. Plus I can probably sell the 8w3 and make the 10w7 an even cheaper route. the...

    8w3v3 ported or 10w7 sealed?

    I have a Stelvio (so hatch style open air into the trunk). I’ve already tried replacing the factory 8” with the above sub and while it actually sounds quite good (shockingly good), I find that I’m wanting more volume when I’m driving 40+mph. I listen to hip-hop and EDM, so the low...
