Topic: Need help with Arc Audio subs?
Alright, I do not want to get rid of my 2 Arc 8's, they are beasts in their own right, but I am suffering in the 20-40Hz range. Right now they are sealed in a 0.73 cubic foot enclosure receiving 200 watts each. Can anyone model up the Arcs and figure out a ported enclosure size possibly smaller than recommended and tuning frequency that would work for these. Please keep it as small as possible, I don't have much room. Thanks! Heres the specs.... Impedance : 2 or 8 ohm Resonant frequency : 24.7Hz Sensitivity : 85.6 db RMS power handling : 150 watts Electrical "Q" : .367 Mechanical "Q" : 3.572 Total "Q" : .332 Equivalent volume: 1.55 One way linear: 15 mm Mounting depth : 4.75" Optimum sealed enclosure : .35 cuft Ported enclosure : .6 cufthttp://www.arcaudio.com/arc-05/pdf/arc_series_04.pdf -------------------- 2006 Ford F-150 Supercab >Head Unit (Eclipse CD8454) >Amplifiers (Diamond D5300.4/Mids) (Audio Art 70.2/Tweet) >Subs (Either 2 Sound Splinter Ri10's or 2 DAYTON 10" HO's) >Comps (Seas Lotus Reference Set) >Wiring/Etc.

You want lowend. It is hard to do so with a very small box. Their recommended enclosure size seems like it's pretty ideal, although I'd maybe make the port slightly larger. You have a supercab F-150. You should have plenty of room back there... T -------------------- Please check out the following links: --My 1998 Ford Ranger Supercab --My Car Audio Bible!!!
