Anyone Running FLI Subs?

[-Pete-]

well i was runnin two 12" JL 12w0 subs, they were gettin over full power (350ish RMS between them).

Changin to an M6 runnin full power @ 600 RMS.

Wasnt really a specific question as such was just wonderin if there was and advantage to havin one sub say 300rms to havin two runnin 150each. Like the single bein dvc and the twins bein svc and the same makes?

ah now theres some specifics

well the obvious upgrade is to the m6 as it is a higher class of sub than the budget jl w0 so will obviously out perform.dual voice coil subs benefit is that they allow for more wiring options but thats pretty much it though, no difference in sound etc.

in your case, you have changed from running two subs at 350 to one at 600, point being that the single sub has more power so moves twice as much as your 2 subs did at 350 watts therefore being just as loud as them (in theory)
this is because your m6 is moving just as much air as your twin jl's did. understand or is that confusing you? basically your single sub now, pushes the same amount of air as your previous subs as you are giving it twice the power(the jls were getting half the power so moved half as much)geddit?lol!

to be honest you wouldnt be getting the full 350 im sure and obviously not constantly either due to power fluctuations during music and the figures quoted on your amp are probably at a 1khz tone on a bench at 14.4 volts(as are 80% of all amps )

in your case youve made the better move to the single m6 as its allowing more room in the car and it will out class the w0's as they are a lower range of subs

nicky - just stick to the big bad 12 in the boot, and let me and ewok sort something else out for the rear panels - hows about a couple of cheapish screens or something in there instead?

haha!yep thats it exactly, but again thats in theory but i would say in reality the single m6 is the better choice in your case so you can sleep safe in the knowledge of that!

you should be able to get at least the same volume though out of your sub/amp though. have you had all your gains and headunit adjusted correctly?

joeshaft do you work at this gear?or did you swallow a dictionary?

its not in yet, im runnin the 9815 wit standard Reno tweeters and standard rear speakers off the internal amp-normally have it switched off cos everythin else is amped.

It was never professionally setup and i blew a tweeter a while bac so need to source one of them before i can get it setup for the new sub and amp. Got 2 alpine amps for the comps runnin through an Audiocontrol EQ too, EQ in the HU aswell which seems like overkill 2 me but hey thats a fair bitta settin up id imagine!!

 

[hazey]

peje you have pm.oh yeah fli is made by vibe.

 

[Peje]

fli are made by vibe.

Duh

lmao.. only messin...

they wer only a quick thought, for the silly reasont that the match the leather ... just being picky there (altho some may cal it OCD) lol

 

[Peje]

no no!! ive gotta get the m6 in arse out, 3 amps, EQ, and various other bits....ideally wanna actually have it lookin not cramped in there for a change!

 

[hazey]

i would have said vibe would be spl.i was driving two 12" vibes on there mono block.pushing some serious bass through them.

Id be agreeing with ya there.. Just look at those ported boxes that they seem to specialise in.. some serious racket out of them for the £££ lol

 

[Peje]

i was always impressed with my JL's but then again on the tech spec it states for huge spl u can push as much as 500 rms through them for small periods of time...condsiderin they're only rated @ 125rms thats a shedload extra.

Actually seen as max power test on blowin subs up and it took 800rms to blow one of them!!

 

[Peje]

never had much experience with ported subs but would i b rite in assuming that they'd loose a bitta punch? I found the jl's in small boxes were seriously punchy.

 

[Nicky]

fella fella .........dont worrie about ice just give me the money and i will sort all your ice problems

Something tells me that this might be the easiest/best way forward for me

 

[Peje]

u goin for sq setup or spl?

lookin bac i wasted so much money on 6x9's and silly bits wen i coulda been buyin quality from the start..but hey thats part of the learnin curve!!

SQ is deffo the end of the line, once u get there u'll not wanna go bac!

 

[Nicky]

going for SQ.. just trying to decide on the system atm lol

 

[Peje]

lol if ur goin for sq u need the m3, and at 90quid ur gettin it for pi$$ all!!

SVC .. ?

Duno.. prefer DVC, just to be awkward lol

 

[Peje]

at that money u could have 2. They do come up for sale every now and again, unless u wanna buy everythin new takin ur time is the best bet

2 of them would b loud and pure quality!

i looked for a dvc one for ages and couldnt get one so ended up havin to go for m6 but means changin amp and all ffs-costly to say the least

joeshaft do you work at this gear?or did you swallow a dictionary?

unfortunately not, just read a lot about it, audio papers and essays, and talk to a lot of other way more knowledgable people than myself! its a learning curve for everyone!
