Thread: Does size matter on a SUB?

Anyways, let me ask, do AMPS put out alot of EMI? Say for example if I where to run VGA cables next to them, will I have EMI on the screens? I am starting to finally see a vision on how all devices will go. This will allow everything to fit behind panels, but everything will be in close proximity.

Not quite right, if an amplifier is ventilated at the top and they count on the air rising out of the casing, then mounting it upside down would cause it to overheat and give you a fiery death.

Again, no. The subwoofer has almost NOTHING to do with the sound it produces. Most of the sound comes from the type of power you put into it and the enclosure it's in. As long as you get a proper amplifier and don't cheap out on a crappy Sony/Jensen product then it'll make any subwoofer sound better. That 10 inch subwoofer could sound much louder, deeper and clearer than any 12 inch powered by a bad amplifier.

Size doesn't matter for Picard, he sets the standard?

My better half use to work for Quill and Patrick Stewart's assistant would call in orders for him. I guess the assistant said his voice was just as sechsi in person

Sorry, way off topic

I plan on using all Alpine PDX amps. For the doors and sub. I think its the PDX 1.600. Well now that I was able to get all the amps in a single location (see my worklog) I can technically get a 12'.
