Sub Sound (or lack thereof)

[MRMoffat1]

Phil, wrong just wrong.

Everything looks to be covered but spharis is right, at least in regards to wet sounds free air subs, can and do pound!!<---phil!!

This biggest mis nomer is "free air" In reality, there is no such thing as free air. The subs are really "infinite baffle" But free air has just become the industry name as making copies is xerox. So in the Tige's, the cavity behind the sub becomes the actual enclosure.

This type of sub is great for good bass and ease of install. You will always benefit more from having a true enclosure.

Not mine

Sounds like a personal problem... Maybe a little Viagra for your sub?

Guys, Tim is right; the only free air is what we breathe...

BTW, that isn't free either. Damn Al Gore.

And yes, free-air subs can and do pound. I have one and recommend it to anyone looking for a sub with limited room.

Not mine

Will have to wait another week to look at it. Too much work has come up That is the bummer having the boat 4 + hours away

There's a big difference between a free-air install and just wiring it up on the ground. He had it wired up on a bench. A critical component of a free-air woofer is the baffle. That is what makes it work.

--there was barely any sound or thump coming from it. It seemed to move ok. Is this normal?? Shouldn't I get SOME volume from it????? Or, is that normal given it is not a free air sub?

I had my CVR12 Kicker (400W) mounted free air for a year, driven by Amp 2 of a Kicker 650.4.

You should still get huge volume.

I finally installed a sealed enclosure, much much better. But the "barely any sound" statement, I don't understand.

[xpjim1]

Thanks I will let you all know how it goes

[philwsailz]

I will try 2 and 3 inouts. Hope the cmd3 has enough to power a 3 way split if needed or should I do a split off the front outputs and a split off the rear outputs

The y-cords are just redundant to the internal switching. electrically the same... or probably the same... The head unit will have enough power.
