2003 eclipse titanium 15DVC Strengths:
the lowest and deepest most evil bass that a sub woofer can deliver. This woofer is a beast, truely devastating violent bass are what you will get. Weaknesses:
Professional subs require hard core power source. Big batteries, big clean wiring and massive amps with regulated voltage (capacitor bank). you gotta pay to play Summary:
shot in the face? how can you make an eclipse titanium sub sound bad?
lets see... eclise has won 3 autosound granprix awards for the titanium 15. For outstanding quality and value. Now thats pretty hard to get recognized for value when its one of the most expensive woffers on the market. Maybe because it can outdo any pair of musical (JLW7, RF, IDmax, cerwin vega etc.)15s in spl and still play accurate and deep bass.
hint:use the small theile parameters, build a damn solid box (at least 1 inch walls of dense fibre board), you're going to move heaps of air if you port them. I have a 15 in a 3.55 cu. ft ported box (the sub is .35 displacement and the ports are .2 displacement as they are 14" long and 4" diameter) measured on a real time analyser this sub bangs out nominally 158dB (playing music) with a solid 1800wrms. you will need some big amps, very good 0 gauge power wiring and nice gell cell batteries (yellow top are v.good, note the plural= more than one amp, at least one per voice coil and same with batteries, you will be drawing like near 1000cca to get 160dB, no stock alternator and car battery will deliver this.)
woof. Similar Products Used:
not even 2 XTRpro orion 15s can touch this, even in a massive 7 cu. ft enclosure with 4 ports. They sounded sweet though.
