Hi guys,

I recently bought a stereo and speakers and all that for my corolla and installed everything except the subs. I imported the subs from the U.S and was advised to get a custom box because of their power

They are 10" V-Net subs. Output 450WRMS and around 1800W, they have 1" layer of foam surrounding the sub and a 900g magnet. Where can i get a quality box for the subs? Preferrably in Sydney???

Thanx

you work out spl of a speaker by taking its sensitivity and timsing it by its power rating.
Note: there is no such thing as power output with speakers...there is one rating: power handling...
for every 3db, twice the power.

for example...a 16w speaker with 90db sensitivity
getting 1w = 90db
getting 2w = 93db
getting 8w = 99db
getting 16w = 102db

so its maximum output is 102db.

Make it out of as thick timber as you want, but dont be tight and make it out of 12mm mdf. Also use screws - not nails, and lots of pva glue.

Sub is a CIARE, and can only be imported by companies using their speakers, like the company i work for. Price will be about $300-$350 i "think" It arrives in janurary so ill let you know then, the box is already built though nice and small too.

if people want them i need to know, as i wont ask my boss to import only 4 or 5. I may end up with 2 - one for each car...wait n see

specs of it:

They have a minimum order amount of like 30 or something...

I have no idea what he is on about. I work for Acoustic technologies. i got that equation from my boss, whos been designing speakers for 30 years, and also from numerous pro audio books.
