New member Username: EmceetrickyPost Number: 6 Registered: Oct-05 | I am getting 2 12" Punch 3 subs and i was planning on getting a dual 12" Q-Logic Enclosure. I went to Bestbuy to look at them and see if they would fit my trunk and the guy told me that i needed a customized box for The punch 3 subs. Does anyone know if this is true? The subs are Rockford Fosgate Punch Stage 3. Does anyone know where i can get a reasonable priced box for these subs? tHanks |

New member Username: EmceetrickyPost Number: 7 Registered: Oct-05 | I didnt buy them from Bestbuy because i knew they were a rip there. I got them off of Ebay after a bit of studying for a pretty good price. I have heard them before and they sound nice and this is my first sound system soooo..... Is there anything that you think is wrong with them? Do you have any experience with them? But if i did get them do you know if i could get a Q-logic 12" Dual enclosure? Thanks for the help, i am new to the whole car audio stuff. |

New member Username: EmceetrickyPost Number: 8 Registered: Oct-05 | Well i guess my question is, if the subs recommended sealed is .75 cubic feet and an enclosure that i am looking at is 1.25 cubic feet, will my subs fit in it or will they be too small? |

Silver Member Username: Chaunb3400Huntsville, Alabama U.S. Post Number: 990 Registered: Jul-05 | The box internal volume should be as close as possible to the recommended by the manufacturer. If a box is smaller than what it is supposed to be, the sound will be tighter, but more amplifier power will be required. If the box is too big, then the sound will be muddy. |

Bronze Member Username: EmceetrickyPost Number: 11 Registered: Oct-05 | After looking at the website it looks like i can get a box for about $140 that will fit my subs and my trunk. But on Ebay i could get like a Q-logic box for like $50. Do you think going with the customized box is the best idea? |
|
Bronze Member Username: EmceetrickyPost Number: 12 Registered: Oct-05 | O and i was wondering, the info at Rockford fosgate .com gives me 141.70 Cubic Inches for the Subwoofer displacement. I think i converted it right but does .082 Cubic feet sound right? And is Depth bottom Mount the same as subwoofer mounting depth? |

Silver Member Username: Chaunb3400Huntsville, Alabama U.S. Post Number: 993 Registered: Jul-05 | try and stay away from Q-logic (They make crappy boxes). If u plan on keeping the subs for a while then go ahead and the custom, or find a friend who can make one for free.lol |

Bronze Member Username: EmceetrickyPost Number: 13 Registered: Oct-05 | Alright sweet thanks for the help man. It did help alot. I have another question too. Have you heard anything about the Rockford Fosgate P3 subs? Its my first system and im looking for quality and not too expensive price but the guy before you said to stay away from those subs. Do you know why? |

Silver Member Username: Chaunb3400Huntsville, Alabama U.S. Post Number: 996 Registered: Jul-05 | there are just way better subs for the same amount http://pub14.ezboard.com/fcaraudiotalkfrm27.showMessage?topicID=27.topic |

Bronze Member Username: EmceetrickyPost Number: 14 Registered: Oct-05 | Do you know of any particular ones? Because i think i got a pretty good deal on the P3s. I got both of them brand new for $200 on Ebay. But do you think they are good for a beginner system? Or i shuold think about getting some different ones? |

Silver Member Username: Chaunb3400Huntsville, Alabama U.S. Post Number: 998 Registered: Jul-05 | Do u want SQ (Great sound) or SPL (LOUD) |
|
Bronze Member Username: EmceetrickyPost Number: 15 Registered: Oct-05 | Ummm kind of both. I guess id rather go Loud but i still want it to sound good. |
|
Silver Member Username: Chaunb3400Huntsville, Alabama U.S. Post Number: 999 Registered: Jul-05 | whats ur budget |
|
Bronze Member Username: EmceetrickyPost Number: 16 Registered: Oct-05 | for the subs the max i want to pay is like 300 for both. Then for the amp about 250-300 and then the rest doesnt matter that much. So i would say about 800-1000. |
