Hey Guys I need some help. I emailed Eclipse for the TS specs on these Eclipse 10" TIs and they came back with 1 cube sealed? [img]graemlins/dunno.gif[/img] Since they didnt answer my ? I emailed them again thanking and asked them what the displacement of it was and they replied .09 cubes?????? this seems way off. The motor structure on these things is huge so....
Anyone know? How about where else I can find out?
Thanks

Not sure if anyone's still checking this thread, but I'm very skeptical any information that Eclipse provides on their subs. From everything I have read, it appears that they understate the power handling, overstate the excursion, and make poor box recommendations. I have been told MANY times that sealed boxes will not work very well for their Titanium line...

Call Dave Barnes at Speaker City in Vancouver (604) 736-2077 - he designs really good boxes, and will probably have the TS if thats all you want.
FYI - a lot of manufacturers box suggestions aren't very good - not just Eclipse's.

If you know what your doing - build your own design.

Humm......
Well heres what my plan is since I am pretty limited with space. I built the front panel out of MDF and the sides/back and bottom will be fiberglassed tommorow and I will see what the max displacement I can come up with will be when that part is done. Then the plan was to build some temp MDF boxes of that size and see how it sounds befor I continue with the fiberglass one.
I cant make it any bigger than what i'm going to get this time (lifted the seat a full 3") Just by looking at it I hope it will be around one cube per?
