My ported subwoofer

[SIDEWINDER18X]

Hi Antony, i am very much interested in building a DIY sub. Infact i used your thread as the reference thread before i took the jump.

With a 70 litre box and tuned to 25 Hz, F3 is 44.06 HZ. Also i have taken the Xmax of this Sub to be 7 mm. Approximately at 125 watts, the SUB reached 7mm linear excursion.

Also the SPL level below 50 HZ rolls of at a very steep rate. Now my question is, why not use a JBL sub at 3.5 K or Infinity reference sub which is availbale at 4.5 k. The only downside i see in using these cars subs is that it requires minimum twice the amount of amplification power of the Peerless sub.

I understand that similations are only for reference and I am a NOOB in Audio and this is my very first post here. Please pardon my ignorance

What size & power of sub are you planning for ?. I can custom fabricate driver for you.
I extensively use American & European parts from the top manufacturer in the world. Starting from cones to spiders, dust caps, voice coils , baskets. Magnet assemblies are custom cnc machined and assembles as per specs to application.
If you are interested I can post you pics of the parts.
you can see me at facebook......."Hunter Audio Loudspeaker Reconers".
with regards
Vivek

If higher spls are required JBL or Infinity might be a good choice compared to the Peerless as you get a more robust driver with larger xmax.

I have not extensively tested the car subs for home use, so can't comment on the accuracy of reproduction compared to Peerless.
