Mohawk ME 12" subs user.....

[Kippo]

i've plotted Mohawk ME 124 vs. Kicker CompVR 12" D4

based on using the recommended box i.e. 2 cu.ft and at that port size, the port tuning is 24hz instead of 31hz as stated in the Mohawk ME manual.


this makes Mohawk ME having a flatter response but Kicker CompVR plays lower even its port tuning is at 35hz.
If kicker compvr having the same port tuning i.e. 24hz, it still play lower than Mohawk ME.


if i make Mohawk ME port tuning at 35hz, it plays lower than Kicker CompVR with the same port tuning freq.

in terms of loudness, Kicker CompVR is louder


if based on WinISD, i see this sub Mohawk ME does not play loud and but can go lower.

the T-S parameters provided seems not correct since WinISD detects some mismatch.
The Vas of this sub is much much lower (as calculated by WinISD).

So i see this sub has a soft suspension and weak motor.

What is the recommended sealed box size for this subwoofer? The smallest box so that it can fit in the Kancil bonet...Need advice...

Re:

Correct me if i'm wrong...from what i heard, sealed box is more to SQ, more solid and accurate subwoofer sound. That why i choose to go for sealed box.

Just audited frens Mohawk Extreme (ME12) and I find it:

1. Quite loud in a Kancil.
2. Decent performance
3. Good in higher freq.

I cant say more as I have limited time and songs to test and the box are wrongly designed and builded. At first I though the sub sucks as it gets pretty ugly in lower freq and poor in the low end. But then again since the box is wrongly builded I shall wait until the new box is completed and audit again.
