Just wanted to share a work in progress

I'm a JL Audio nut as you can tell, this is my second custom box using JL woofers


Enjoy

 

why three small ones when you can go one big 10 or 12

looks cool btw

 

Mathematically the triple 6" cone drivers move more air than the single 10" driver but the question is will it be louder?

Why 6"? Because I like to try different things. Plus I've already done the 10w6 in my last 2005 Rio. Cost wise it's a lot cheaper to do a single 10w6 ($300) vs three 6w3 ($150 each).

this was my old setup:

 

just do two 10" one on each side

 

Do you have a post anywhere that shows how you made your glass enclosure?

 

I would totally buy one of these from you..............(enclosure)

 

I think woofer sizes and numbers dictate whether you're after SQ (sound quality) or SP (sound pressure). From my understanding SQ is how smooth sounds are delivered and SP is how loud the sound can be delivered.

On other note you do amazing work!

 

I'd opt for 3x 6's over 1x 10 anyday. Seems far more dynamic.

Great idea -- looks amazing.



What kind of amp (s) would you use to power the 6's?

 

Amp and loudspeaker math is weird. I'll admit I don't understand it all. But if you're using the same power amp for the 3x6" setup as you did for the 1x10" driver, wouldn't it be essentially the same loudness? Just with less distortion? (Which is a good thing - I'm much more of a fan of tight, controlled bass than what I call "flubby" bass.)

FWIW, the 3x6" setup has the same surface area, btw, as a single 10.4" setup.

 

All speakers are compromises, the big single woofer would work well for reggae but music will a lot of transients should sound cleaner with the 3X set up. Clean installs BTW.
