Huge audio or bulldozer

A little bit of knowledge is dangerous in the wrong hands!

Yes car audio runs at 12V and yes a PC PSU can output 12V, doesn't mean it's a match made in heaven though does it!

But meh, we all know that. As long as we gets pics of the inevitable trash that's going to get bought/built here then the thread is worth it.

But if the only thing he thinks about that previous youtube video was poor music taste and the production quality, then perhaps not!

eitehr looking localy at 2x 6" subs with 2 amps cheap or an vibe black air 10" active sub and amp for a little more

yeh go buy 2 6" subs... You'll get soooooo much bass out of 6" drivers... ;)

Also your comment about providing 'good subs and amps' for your DJ friend almost made me die of laughter... he must be a pretty **** Dj to be wanting you to provide him with a couple of 6" subs ( :confused: ) /maybe a 10"..


lol thread is lol.

Yeah, i dont really want my whole house shaking, and 2 high powered 6" subs give of more bass than a corsair or Logitech system (excluding maybe the z5500), i know its not a match made in heaven powering an amp of a psu as amps are meant to run at 13.8v and if you don't want to go into serious modding of the psu it will only do 12v.
And so what, my friend has been singed for about a month now, and he's my age, never heard of "the next generation in music?" because everyone has to start somewhere.
Anyway, i Have decided to get the car audio set-up yet it will not be "HUGE" loccaly someone is advertising 2x6" subs in a ported box and 2 amps included, and i have managed to get them down to £30, so the whole set-ups going to cost me around £60, there is no garentee it will be "100% amazing" sound quality yet it will be better than my old surround sound amp it will be replacing (went haywire when i turned it to 75% volume and blew)
So i am now contemplating a project in the audio section of the forums.
anyway, as for my pc im pretty sure my ram is gone, as i have been running it at 1333mhz with no freezes for the last 2 days, and i defiantly need a new hard drive, but i may try revive my motherboard yet.

I wish my friends were singed :(

Also LOL at the car audio idea. You are comparing car audio to corsair and logitech systems. These are but 2 pc parts manufacturers who have made speakers, you have completely forgotten about all the manufacturers who ONLY make audio products and are very good at it.

Wise up and listen to the advice here, you are wrong, wronger than 3yr old out of date milk and clearly have no idea idea what your on about!

I don't think you quite understand... 6" drivers just will not and cannot reproduce the low frequencies (unless they are in an incredibly well built and exactly the right box) ... even if they were incredibly high build quailty (which they clearly are not as you are getting them for £30), you would probably be luck to get down to about ~80Hz...

When you say 'i don't want my whole house shaking', you have clearly misunderstood what i said. when i said ' you will get so much bass out of them' i was not referring to the loudness of the speaker, i was referring to it not physically being able to reproduce the 'bass' frequencies unless under the conditions stated above... let alone sub bass (if you even know what that is...) its not all about how loud it is you know...

' in a ported box ' what type of port? slot port? How well built is the box? what is it made of? how big is it in relation to the drivers? how are the drivers mounted? the list goes on...

but obviously you don't need to listen to me because

:rolleyes:

and with regards to your DJ friend... good on him for being 'singed' I'd just maybe tell him he should invest in a proper PA if he wants to make it big... His stuff will sound **** if he plays it through your pieces dump.

oh for goodness sake. I'm all for using big floppy drivers in big ported boxes but come on - there's no reason why a 6" subwoofer wouldnt drop down to 30hz in the right box, albeit ultimately volume-limited and not exactly the definition of sound quality....which pc speakers arent anyway. How much do you really know about speakers because i cant believe you've just sat there and made a blanket statement like that.

apologies reading back my original post i didnt make it clear, i was trying to 'dumb it down' (not the right words but you know what i mean) i was assuming the OP will not have the right box, judging by his history and the fact he's getting them for £30. I have edited my post to make it more clear.

Also I wasn't talking about using big floppy drivers...

TBH, need to get some L acoustics Sb18's.... now we're talking about quality... ;)
 
Well on a happy note i have something yo laugh at all the pesemists and haters in this thread, who seem to go on with the fact if you heatgun something or oven trick something there is no chance it will work...
well becuase my ram was having bad freezes and would only run @ 1333mhz i reflowed it with an old paint stripper, and its now working with no ussues.. the morning also brings more reflowing to the motherboard chipsets, and i will test every thing that i had trouble with before shortly, so in the short temr, i may have save myself £140

As for the 6" drivers there in a medium size box, mounted inside thebox witch is plexiglassed, and yes i know what a slot port is :L, no, there is 2 circle ports at the top of the box on either side, and the whole front of the box is curved.
Now answer me this... can i link to the bay judging on the fact its not competition because ocuk don't sell car audio?
 
forgot to mention as for the rest of the setup i have speakers in the cupboard witch can handle a beating (ran on a 600watt amp with no subs)
At a good quality

been in contact with the guy who says if the amps dont work i can have a refund. so...
as for my motherboard the achi drivers are close to working (rather than not picking my hdd up atall, gets to load windows and freezes) shows some improvement has been made but there is still a cold joint (will tend to that when i get flux and more time
So MY verdict is that i just saved myself £130
Click to expand...

let me fix that for you..... much better :)
 
And what would be youre verdict? eh, that i have not just fixed my ram and motherboard for no cost other than a replacement bracket for cpu (a part snapped)
and how would you fix that, have you got a proper rework station up and running ready for me? or will you bin it and make me uneccesarly spend money on a new one, as untill another amd chip comes out there is no point getting a new socket

just because it's working now doesn't mean It'll keep working, you need to take more time to be able to tell if it was a success, I tried to reflow my old xbox, and at first it worked, until I played on it far a little while

please start referring to the RMS ratings and not pmpo, so frustrating.

Also ZZAC, just because i'm opposed to the '6" subs dont drop' point of view, doesnt mean i think i think two 6" subs in a 4th order BANDPASS box is the way forward for home audio.That is absolutely what you do NOT want. Bandpass boxes are designed for high SPL over a narrow audio range (probably 40-80hz at a guess for that box). Trust me on this, a bandpass box utilising two small drivers designed for car use is a no go.

You're obviously wrong.

yeah i would, but i dont realy want to be spending all to much on a sealed sub as it would cost over £100 rather than £60, so ima risk it with the" ones also partly because there local and include 2 amps
