    The presentation level on this is insane. When you darkened some fs parameters to show off how other ones are linked and when you overlayed the frequency response of the single sub with the series/parallel subs by using a dotted line for the contrasting subs. Good stuff, really appreciated.

    If I recall correctly, when I had *FOUR 12's* in an isobaric box (i.e., clam shell setup)... ...I hooked up both subwoofers inside the box with reverse polarity (i.e., positive to negative, and negative to positive) and the two subwoofers outside the box with normal polarity (i.e., positive to positive, and negative to negative) when bolting the subwoofers face to face (with a 3/4" wood ring in between the subs that I prefabbed myself) . In this configuration, they all worked together as a team and had a lot higher dB gain from 20Hz-60Hz running at 2ft³ per chamber for each pair (as it had a divider in the Dual 12" 4ft³ net volume box).

      Same for the guys over at Tech Ingredients - AMAZING content low sub count. Then I thought about it and...well, it's useful information presented in a clear manner with professional grade production quality. There is no clickbait, no gimmicks, no drama, no anime goofy faced thumbnails, no silly mindless crap like "what happens if we plug this driver into the wall socket?!!! Lets find out!" so low subs.
      It's why we pay people who play with a ball 10's of millions of dollars and someone devoting their life finding a cure for cancer maybe...MAYBE a hundred grand a year. Unfortunately people like us are in the minority. Most want someone jumping up and down like a gorilla around a rented Lambo chanting mindless words like "It's everyday bro...it's everyday bro"
      Also, while he has low sub count, he's getting a decent view counts and that's what matters in the end for $$$.

I was running 8 ohm subs all parallel off of a PPI pro mos 12. The box total was only 2.4 cf. Back then that was small and loud!! I loved building new boxes to try out. Learned a lot and if this channel was around then I would have saved a lot of headaches. Awesome job and thanks.

Very small box in the hatch. Mcm goldline doors, rears and tweets ran off a Kenwood 920or 921,can't remember. It was a very impressive sounding set up. LA sound crossover. Kenwood head unit.

    • @juststuff5216
      @juststuff5216 5 лет назад

      The only two issues as far as I know (i'm still learning) are that T/S parameters are not a constant, and they change with different atmospheric conditions. Also, I don't know how solid a *Rule Of Thumb* of ...
      ported under 0.5
      sealed 0.5 0 - whatever
      IB - over 0.7
      ... is? This guy mounted his Dynaudio Esotar 1200 in an IB configuration, and they have a QTS of 0,34!
      www.diymobileaudio.com/forum/2064684-post523.html
      bit.ly/2U7Y3BA
      so ...
      Other than that, its a matter of; how accurate the manufactures published parameters are. Some are Ok, whilst other can be wildly off. worst example I saw was the JL Audio ZR800 CW 8" midbass (no longer in production) had/has a published QTS of 0.662, but yet the actual parameter was around than double that.
      www.diymobileaudio.com/forum/member-reviews-product-comparisons/173556-jl-audio-zr800-cw-8-midbass-objective-review.html
      With that being said, I think its important not to focus on a singular parameter like QTS or Xmax, at the expense of any and all other parameters.
      Anyway ... no doubt Pete will correct any false assertions 😭

    I love Hexi’s vids... been watching since the early days of him in his shop way back making boxes for customers coming from all over... seeing the design, the build process and even the fit and sometimes listen/measuring session.... al’a that crazy 4/12 confit in that Escalade/Chevy style big SUV he did I liked so much.
    To some they would probably want some laymen low connotation explanation to go along with his technical explanation in these vids but I think it evokes those interested to learn more. Like diving into Thiel Small Parameters accordingly.
    If you haven’t had the chance of seeing his wild box builds from back in the PWK days... I highly suggest finding those and some of those designs and builds were way beyond anything of their time... meaning the tech was there but no one was really tackling what it took to design and make tapered waveguides, T-Lines and aperiodic chambered boxes for the time... I remember Hexi getting hammered by quite a bit of his viewers and people of industry to release what software he used back then and come to find out if I recall.... it was his own design and maybe if I recall it was one of his projects for engineering school though don’t quote me on that but I think that’s what I remember him saying way back when he addressed the issue in a small snippet of one of his vids. Either way he has definitely contributed to the audio community as a whole... both automotive and hi-end/hi-fi home audio.
    For that I am thankful he continues.
