Old school Soundstream

RobertJr79 · Post by **RobertJr79** » Sat Nov 17, 2012 8:44 pm

I was wondering if anyone could help me out with some info on this subs? I would like to build them a box but have no info of them. I tried Google but didn't find much on them, I email Soundstream but didn't hear back from them yet. I just picked up a second TI800.1 and would like to do 2 of them on each TI800.1 @ 2ohm.
Soundstream Rubicon 12 single 4 ohms voice coil, I'm picking up 4 of them for a good price.

Here are pictures of them.

Thanks

I always wanted to try some of these rubicon subwoofers. I believe they were one one the last USA built subs just like the rubicon amps that were out around the same time.

Thanks

Is that the same info that they sent you too? The manual didn't have any woofer specification in it at all. What R U going to do with 4 subs?

Thanks

Sealed they call for .75 to 1.5 FT^3
Ported they call for 1.5 to 3 FT^3

I'm going to build a box and use two TI800.1 to power them.

This is what I'm thinking for a box.

The first box is made of two boxes each are 4.44ft^3 net @32Hz
The second box is 11.54ft^3 net @32Hz

Just not sure on what box I'll make yet.

Thanks

I use Google SketchUp, I just finished making deferent front baffle. What do you guys think would like nice for the front? I also change the box to 8.4ft^3 net tuned at 32.5Hz.

This is the box I'll be building soon. Now I just have to find where I'll put the 3 amps.

Looks good,
What if you angle the 800's up the sides and mount the 475 on top in the middle.

I have no room on the side of the box to mount the amps, maybe I could do that on the back of the box. I think I'm removing one seat on the 3rd row and re-installing the second captain chair on the 2nd row. So I should have room on the back of the box for 2 amps.

I was thinking all three amps on top of the box. But angling the two outside amps to make all three fit.

So I understand you right install the 475 in the middle and have it facing the rear, the one 800 on each side facing the side windows? I figure that what you meant by on the sides.
