Subwoofers #10 thru 17... 27000watts, second attempt

post #1 of 7
Thread Starter 
I couldn't do "Eagles - Hotel California" over youtube (the song I prefered), so I guess this song will just have to do as it's replacement...

I'll only have sub #9 done, this summer.

There is another 8 extra subwoofers on my queue but you can only see 4 of them in this vid, I won't be able to get to these extra 8 subwoofers until 2013. No mo moneys for now

Your vids are starting to bring back memories of KW!!!

So, are all of your sub projects going to be mobile units or are they going to fill up the room in the videos?

Looks like fun - with all that woofage, how could your mains possibly keep up ?

At some point you have to reach the point where you level match and anything more is way overkill... Don't get me wrong - I'm all about overkill, time to look at new mains sometime down the road..?

Keep up the good work - KOOL !!!!

Two reasons, first is that our ears are 70db-to-30db more sensitive to treble than bass.

The second reason is that those Rotel monoblocks output 1000watts each channel at 4ohm, and those are dedicated to the tweeters and midranges. My ears give up before either do

Yes and No... but No.

Theorically... I could easily stack 22 subs behind the couch and another 12 along the side walls, and I could easily stack 12 subs behind and around those mains, without even impacting upon a walk space of 3 feet wide, and two 8 foot amp-racks to house the power. At that point the room would feel fairly claustrophobic, but technically it is do-able.

But I'm not going to go that far, nowhere even close, but never say never, right? hehe

So, they are all for that room? I didnt know if some of them were for other uses, thats why I asked if any were mobile. Didnt literally mean FILL the room up to maximum volume of enclosures lol.

Yep, all for the room.
Cars don't need that many subs... unless for 140db+
I don't spend enough time in my vehicle to make it worth the effort; and I barely have enough room for groceries and passengers as it is.
