One Sub Setups

What are some successfully single sub setups, in recent memory? If they are Street Beat, even better!

I know Skip01 did some 12" testing, TommyK got some crazy numbers in his singlecab, and Jacob at Sundown did some 15" blasting.


I ask this because of the rules. We have the flexibility to use lots of different sub sizes, but few people are using single sub setups (or 8's for that matter). I understand that 2 8's cost more than a 10, and you can't push the same power through them. Plus, motor strength maximization is important, within the limitations of electrical.

don't you remember my 1 10" sb1 run??..lol and that was at same tune as you i think

Yes, I most definitely shat myself on that one. 3" of peak-peak excursion will do that to most anyone.

I was talking about 1-12" in SB1, or 1-15" in SB2, 1-18" in SB3... If that had been a 12, you'd have 50% more cone air movement and atleast another dB.

You might remember my little project last winter

it burped 153.6 and sb a 151.? A mojo 4kw and 2 batts.

The loud. Crapper.

1 RD Audio H.W. in the ranger burped 154.8 @ 53Hz with a Sh!t ton of power and street beated a 151.7 on petey pablo - vibrate.

That must be one of your homemade aeros. Nice score for a single-sub trunk build!

Beastly. That's not too far from off of your 4 sub record.


Do you guys find that tuning, loading, and alignment were easier or more difficult with a single sub? Seems like it would be simpler... but SPL rarely is logical.

I only ran one sub at that time cause my other subs were blown. I used the same box and just blocked off the rest of the holes.

burped a 157 with 12600 watts and 1-10. 63 hrz of course.

157 from 1-10"????

Which sub was that? 13kW is enough to melt/launch just about any sub on the market. APX / HW, SoloX, etc can't handle it for more than a few seconds.

audioque

i ran 20k per h.w.

ILL MAKE IT REAL SIMPLE!! MFIN AQ BURPPYYYYYYYYYYY 157 1 SUB. MF AQ BURRPY 161 WITH 2-10'S! MMFIN AQ SB 158.2 30 SECS. never tried a all out sb run with full power till finals. and you guys seen it climb to almost 160... u dig!!

I can't wait to see what you can do with good subs! Lol

WELL PROB BE A GOOD OLE STOMPIN!!!

were you using the aluminum coil AQ's at finals?

another question, would you say that there is a major difference in power handling between the copper and aluminum coils?
