Hey guys
i juet get this thing as a gift ( used )
http://www.kicker.com/sites/default/files/2007%20CompVR%20Box%20d01%20Web.pdf
can i use it to augment the bass for a home small patio setup
( family reunions and stuff )
i will use 2 8 inches 2 way KLH speakers i get from kmart a couple of years
but as those are like bookshelf speakers they lack the bass oomph of subs
my question is , the kicker sub is designed to be on a car or suv trunk
can i use it facing the wall or something on a corner to make the KLH's
appear to sound bigger ??
or is just a plain no
i just want a dirt cheap boom box sound ,nothing fancy
Thanks
Max.

Well if you have the stuff, try it out. Try different placement. Corner load the speakers or against the wall see if that helps add a lil gain.
ok, so i am going to test but....
i have a question, does i need subsonic filter for this box to prevent over excursion of the driver and fry it or break it
if so, at what freq you think the high pass must be
the info at link i posted is very scarce, it only says 800w rms
and is from the manufacturer

Ohh great
i have a cown drivecore XLS 2000 that can pump 1050 watts at 2 ohms
and looks like those boxes can be wired for 2 or 4 ohms
according to the manufacturer spec sheet
so if i wire to 2 ohms i can exceed the 800w rms rating on those
or stick to 4 ohms where the amp can only pump 650
but still i have never heard much of over excursion on the car audio arens
does the car amps have subsonic filters built in ?
I'm not in the car-amp hobby but it's very possible!
Your amp... give it to me! lol
It says on the website:
- Integrated PureBand™ Crossover System for better performance and control
- Peakx™ Limiters provide maximum output while protecting your speakers
Dig out the manual... 😉

hey bart yeah i was aware of the minimalistic dsp capabilites of my amp
but they dont have setable high pass and low pass for the sub
and high pass for the tops
it only let you set the 2 way crossover freq
but you cant filter subsonics ( below 40hz)
Well, I read a lot that mini-dsp is very flexible and not to expensive. Would be a very good combo with the Crown.
On your sub there's this:
Note: The use of a subsonic filter will significantly increase the power handling. The power handling specifications in these charts are
calculated using a 25Hz, 24dB per octave subsonic filter. Measurements based on 4 ohm voice coil models.

haaa i missed that where was it 😱
Ouuu!! found it... it was the fine print on the bottm.,
mmmmm,.. i wonder if those things can go that low to be effective
and i assume the 24dB per octave subsonic filter is LR

Should work.
No way on earth that car sub is 98db/w efficient.
If you use the Crown on the K-mart speakers they should explode nicely... My XLS goes into protect when I run it hard on 4ohm's so I expect that a 2ohm load would need to be watched more closely.

You could measure your sub's impedance to know the exact tuning frequency.
Do you have a multimeter (Voltmeter) and a power resistor of about 10Ω?

the meter yes
the resistor i will need to go to the local radio shack
can be a small one ? they only offer 1/2 watt and 1/4
hope they get 10 ohm if not i will need to order
whats the procedure
mmmmm. so those fags at crown must stop publshing their XLS drive cores can take 4 and 2 ohms loads... if in the real life they cant
😡 marketing vaporware bolony
You can buy, for example, 10x 100Ω 1/2W resistors an solder them all parallel. that gives 10Ω 5W
Google's my friend, make it yours too 😉

I'm sorry about the link, it doesn't really explain how to measure.
Measuring Loudspeaker Driver Parameters explains it and more.
You might just get bitten by the DIY bug and measure your own Thiele&Small parameters. 🙂
