Gold Member Username: Basshead86Try Google Post Number: 7253 Registered: Aug-05 | i wouldn't go any bigger than say 2.5 cubes...3. is stretching it...watch the power with that big of a box with a 12" imo... on the DD forum, the recommend 3 cubes for the 15" 3500 and 5 cubes for the 15" 9500...so 2.5 should be more than sufficient for the 12" |

Gold Member Username: RedlinerWilmington, Ma Post Number: 2719 Registered: Jun-05 | i would say 2 would be perfect for it cause they said 2.5 is perfect for a 9512 which needs a bigger box then a 3500 but who knows try the 2.5 but dont go any bigger than that |

|
Silver Member Username: RvlacosEl Paso, T.X. United States Post Number: 161 Registered: Sep-06 | the port is big so i should be left with close to 2.5 i dunno |

Bronze Member Username: DjlPost Number: 11 Registered: Sep-06 | Using DD's box formula with a 3 cube net box before displacements you need 40 sq"'s of port area and 20"'s of port length for 35-36 tuning. You net box area after port and sub displacement will be approx 2.4 cubes |

United States Post Number: 163 Registered: Sep-06 | thanks dj. i got metered 2day its the first time i ever seen it done right kinda cool i was exited. last time b4 i changed everything this guy used this little hand held thing i guess they arent accurate cus im def. hittin harder. this time they used a tl and stuck it on my windshield i hit 140.86, i think it can be louder my goal is 145 should i add more power? or do i need to upgrade to a 9512 with more power to hit that? |

Silver Member Username: Night_mirageAmmanJordan Post Number: 545 Registered: Jan-06 | two thing u should do . 1st : Upgrade ur ALT , Cuz adding another battery will n't give u more power . 2nd : 1000RMS for 3512 . I don't think u 're giving ur sub enough power , I have zx1000.1 (1240RMS) with 2512 . and it can handle mooore . So 1500-2000w will hit 145 Db approx . But u have to do the first point .. ALT .. |

Silver Member Username: RvlacosEl Paso, T.X. United States Post Number: 168 Registered: Sep-06 | i cant find anyone who will build one for my car or rewind mine? |
|
Gold Member Username: AdddisorderWest palm, Florida Post Number: 1350 Registered: Jan-06 | yeah an alt would help, i need to get mine done soon. contact some local people to see if they will rebuild it to produce more amps. usually like 100-150$ or get a new alt from dom at irragi alts. just search for ho alts on ebay and email him about your car. also try email knukonceptz.com im running approx 1300rms to my 3512 and it gets pretty loud havnt had it at full power because i still need my alt rebuild but get yours done and if its still not loud enough get another amp |
