@956Bassaddict- When trying to meter in the kick with this Ssa Apm-x spl meter, put the meter all the way up to the top of the kick area= turn the meter long ways, and hang the top suction cup on the top of the carpet, or floor matt, to hold it in place. The meter laying on the floor doesn't give great results. When i was metered in the kick area in comp= they wedged the meter as high up in the kick as possible, using a metal globe/cage, to hold it in place. If the meter fell down to the floor= my score went down as well.
I know exactly what you mean friend. I usually put it all way up. But because I was having problems with the meter, I didn't do it. I can give it a try. I think the score can be better 👍🔉🔊
@@956Bassaddict - I could tell that you got flustered a little, when the meter wouldn't connect with the laptop, it was hot out, and the meter kept shutting off, and you had to hurry around real fast, with the phone in your hand while recording. You did much better than i would have done. I get flustered easily when things don't go as planned, and i can't function. Then i just start cussing, and throwing things😁😆😂. You my friend, are much more calmer, than i. You did a great job, all things considered. Also, when you re-meter, with your SPL meter way high up in the kick, try 36, 37, and 38Hz, @ about 70% volume, and hold each tone, for about 3 seconds each time, to let the meter read the pressure more accurately/consistantely. Then after you find out which freq. Was loudest, play that freq., full out!
@@956Bassaddict -To give you an idea, how good your music score, with the meter on the glass was of a 160.3 i think? There was a ( 12 ) - 18 inch, 6th order build, with ( 12 ) - Incriminator Audio ix6 amps= about 7 or 8k per amp, @ The 2024 Slam show in Indy, this last weekend. He did a 161.89 Db on music, on the glass, both doors open, so your only 1.5 Db off of his 12- 18s!
That’s amazing only .48 db difference between the 4.11s and the 3.9s….anything under 1 db difference is a great . Reason being no human ear could pick up the audible difference when it’s .9db or less ..great job and great video 🎉
Heck yea bro! I been waiting for this video ! Also , the meter will stay on for around 5 minutes or so before it turns itself off. When the screen saver pops on , just press the settings button to bring the score back. Also, have you ever strapped the 17ks at 1 ohm to see if there’s a difference in power vs gain matched @.5 each ?
As someone that seems to have messed with Fi woofers a good bit can I ask for input? Looking to do 2 12s in the trunk. Want to really excel in the 25-30hz range. Will likely be clamping 8k total (4k per woofer) what line would you suggest from Fi for that?

Thanks for the advice. Unfortunately, the BC17K is not strappable 👍🔉🔊
@@956Bassaddict ahhh forgot it’s a bigger board so it’s like 2 amps strapped internally already . Still awesome power almost 50k out the pair !
Cool. Almost a 164. Congrats. Everything is falling apart inside. The people there are probably wondering what the heck your doing there. 😊
Spoiler alert bro...
Thanks! I need to work in the cabin and do some reinforcement. That is the City bycicle Trail Park. Nobody has complained yet 🤣👍🔈🔊🔉
@@956Bassaddict 😃 🤣 😂
Great scores ❤ shame you didn't try pd format
Thanks! I might try the PD format in the future. I have to work in the cabin. Everything is falling apart. 👍🔉🔊

In my personal opinion, the 4.11 is very musical, and it can handle 4k all day long 👍🔈🔊
@@956Bassaddict do you reckon I even have enough power for the 4.11 at only 4k clamped?
@@956Bassaddict or am I better off getting 3.9s?
@@956Bassaddict very true!! I have them in my daily for 1.5 years now. The best subs i have owned!!!
