ahum.. Australian $$... I have looked on ebay... and I wanna make a box that is very low, or can be stood on its side or back for placing behind a sofa etc.. 🙂 my old 10inch driver had a 3mm X-max.. sounded fine to me, went fairly low and fairly loud... I wanna go lower, flatter, and even louder, which 2 8inch Venoms should do... lol
Dont be put off by the cheap looks of the venom, ive currently got 1 in a 40 litre ported box tuned to 35hz if i remember right, and it does great for music, can go really loud too if needed.
Only problem is they have trouble playing down really low, but u cant expect much better from a 8" for 40 $au.
The 5mm of xmax doesnt seem right to me, when u push the venom pretty hard it moves like 1.5 inch peak to peak, and still sounds fine, doesnt overdrive or anything.

yeah.. I want a cheap driver that'll take a fair bit of power, suit a smaller box, handle high cone excursion (weather its linear or not doesn't really matter) and that'll match up nicely with some 4inch mids and tweeters.. 🙂 something that will outperform all those overpriced computer speakers and home theater systems (rated at about 50watts total)... so... yeah....
My friend wants to buy my "old" Technics amp... he said $70, I said $30, he said thats not enough... lol okay... $50 it is.. 😉
If its anything to compare to, my ported venom, goes louder and deeper and sounds better than my friends alpine type s sub that he uses for his home. But thats not saying much 😛
HAHAHA!! what size alpine are we talking about? I suppose its not in a very good enclosure for room use though... lol
12" alpine type s, hes got it in their recommended enclosure too, he uses his type s for his car too, and we tried the venom out in his car with his alpine m300 monoblock or whatever it is, and the venom came out on top in the car too 😛
Yep haha 😛
My 50 dollar sub all up, whips his 350 odd dollar sub ezpz 😛
Heres a few pics of it, sorry bout the shocking quality 😛

alright.. thats it.. I am advising my friend to get 2 8inch Venom subs... that way we are getting 4 total, and get them cheaper from Jaycar, and don't have to play postage from Advance Audio and Electrical... YAY!!! you reccon 2 8inch subs in a 60litre tuned to 35Hz would be alright? hehe.. 😀
Im actually going to make another box the same as the one above and use them for my "music" subs 😛
2 venoms would probably go pretty good in a 60litre, best to model it up in winisd though :]

hey you're the idiot... I mean nice person... who was trying to palm those things off on ebay for $95.. lol ahum.. hello.. hehe
EDIT:
what size port did you use?

Hehhe yes that was me 😛
Bit of creative wording here and there never hurt anyone 😛
Still a mighty fine sub for the price, considering a regular consumer would spend more than 500 on a sub of similar performance.
Didnt sell it so im making another and keeping em 😉
edit :
Looking back on my winisd project, the box is actually 40 litres tuned to 37hz. Port was 85mmx243mm.

hmm.. ok lol 🙂 I guess I should start saving now... lol what would people reccomend for cheapish, good mid/woofers and tweeters to match up with these "subs"?? thanx... lol I don't wanna go out and spend $30AU on a 4inch woofer when I am only spending $45 on an 8inch sub.. 🙂
Im pretty sure mass.com.au, has specials on vifa and peerless woofers/midranges/tweeters all the time. You can pick up some half descent drivers for like 15 each.
I think I may have a problem (another one, not so obvious 😉) how can I get 100-150watts into a 4ohm speaker with +- 25 volt rails...??? assuming the amp can swing the output to within 2volts of each rail, thats a 46volt swing... into 4 ohms that eqautes to 66watts.... can't be too expensive either... and I would really like to use ICs.... ofcourse the 4ohms isn't constant, it would probably drop... lets say 3 ohms... thats still only 88watts... perhaps the amp could swing to 1 volt from each rail... 48volts on the output.... 96watts... does anything I am saying even make sense... I'm bored.. school is sooooooo boring.. 😛
