How will .6 cubes sealed perform?

95ZJ · 08-19-2008, 03:16 PM

I only have room for approximately .6 cubes sealed/per sub behind my F-150 regular cab seats and was wondering how two of the new Mags would perform off of about 500 watts each in this enclosure?

Also, what is the suggested depth of a box for the new Mag? I can only fit about 6 and 1/8 inches for the depth.

id say waiting for the BM might be more your cup of tea. thats almost right on with its sizing - 0.5 cu ft. / woofer, and that mounting depth will be fine.

Mag is 5.25" deep, and i think 2" past the woofer is the general rule of thumb, then again i dont know where i heard this and its probably not entirely true, espescially in a sealed box. as long as the depth works out, maybe a single mag or two bm's makes more sense?

How do the BM's fair when compared to the Mag?

Sound the same with slightly less output. BM is what you need here.

Since they'll be in a regular cab pickup, the output probably won't affect me too much. How's the low end on them?

The new BM's are what you need here. The tiny enclosure and shallow mounting depth are what they were designed for. The Mag's are 5.5" deep and the BM's are only 3.5" deep. Also, the Mag works in 1 ft^3 and the BM works in 0.5 ft^3. The low end on the new BM's in 0.6 ft^3 is similar to the low end of our v3 Mag's in 1.5 ft^3. They're pretty impressive little buggers.
