Car Subwoofer for a Low-End Cab?

[6thplanet]

Well, respectfully, 12 volts is 12 volts.. Not much you can do about that.. And that is the point.. A voltage of 10x will generate much less current draw..

Your missing the point. Wether an amp runs on 12v or 120v, as long as the PS the amp is powered by can supply the power needed, no different.
...and I'm for you experimenting. Good luck.

The information you have received is completely incorrect. A larger amp will only make the problems worse.

You simply don’t know what you don’t know. Much more knowledgeable folks here have been trying to help you understand but you are ignoring reality in favor of the mythologies perpetuated by the car audio industry and community.

Wrong.. These speakers require huge amounts of power to move them.. I know enough to know that I still have not been told why it will not work.. Very interesting..

Some salty dogs around here, telling a guy it's a bad idea is one thing, being an ass about it is another.

My answer would be none.

You're Ampeg 15" and all the other cabs aren't capable enough for you?
Are you properly powering those cabs?

Car subs are not meant to project low end like Bass or PA rig, that's why they're different and optimized for use in vehicles.
You'd be getting significantly better performance with a PA sub.

However I like to have an open mind, so if you end up doing it, please post your results.
Good luck,
Dirk

Thanks for your reply.. Yes I am properly powering my cabs..

OP: "Here's my idea. Do you think it's a good idea?"
Many posters: "No, it's a bad idea".
Many other posters: "Really bad idea. Here's why"
OP: "Nah, I think it's a good idea, I don't buy your reasons. "
... through several iterations.
We're done.
