|
Gold Member Username: Logan__tilleHttp://com4.runboard.c... Post Number: 6599 Registered: Feb-06 | SQ is sound quality (sounds good) SPL is loud ( loud) lol |
|
Gold Member Username: Logan__tilleHttp://com4.runboard.c... Post Number: 6600 Registered: Feb-06 | maybe look into a kicker cvr or alpine type R |
|
Bronze Member Username: DoofdoofAustralia Post Number: 22 Registered: Mar-07 | 35cm wide and 30 odd cm deep and 45cm high i think this is jus of the top of my head....the box is in my car lol |
|
Bronze Member Username: Rob1083Post Number: 64 Registered: Mar-07 | i'm always hearing good thing abou the alpine type r that's in your price range and would get loud and sound good. you are going to have to a box that pretty well matches your sub for any sub to sound good so get us the size of that. also what brand and model # is your amp? |
|
Bronze Member Username: DoofdoofAustralia Post Number: 24 Registered: Mar-07 | i really couldent tell you logan the amp is not that crash hot lol |
|
Bronze Member Username: DoofdoofAustralia Post Number: 25 Registered: Mar-07 | the brand of my amp is..speaker city and the model # is A-B 103 |
|
Silver Member Username: Snarl2004Audioque 12 SD2.5s, Earthquake P... Post Number: 711 Registered: Dec-06 | ur makin sh!t hard for me lol. i had to convert it to inches to calculater the cubic feet. if the demensions u gave me were right then its 1.66ft^3. |
|
Bronze Member Username: Rob1083Post Number: 65 Registered: Mar-07 | he said it was ported though that makes matching a sub up much trickier. right? |
|
Bronze Member Username: DoofdoofAustralia Post Number: 26 Registered: Mar-07 | that sounds about rite lol sry about that...lol we dont really use inches in australia |
|
Bronze Member Username: Rob1083Post Number: 66 Registered: Mar-07 | i cant find that amp. it's probably 600 rms if max is 1200. if ur lucky. the only problem is we don't know at what ohms it does max rms safely. so it's hard to match a sub for u to get the most out of it. unless u know? |
|
Bronze Member Username: DoofdoofAustralia Post Number: 27 Registered: Mar-07 | sry its 4ohms and its a 2 channel amp |
|
Bronze Member Username: Rob1083Post Number: 69 Registered: Mar-07 | it sound like u should go with the kicker cvr 12 like this one http://cgi.ebay.com/Kicker-CVR12-12-CVR-Dual-2-ohm-SUBWoofer-Chrome-New-07_W0QQi temZ140099840633QQcategoryZ39777QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem i have never bought from that particular seller but he's got good feedback. ask around on here these guys know alot of good places. if you get the dual 2 ohm model u can wire it to 4 ohms then u know u don't have to worry. also you have to be careful putting a subwoofer into a ported box that's not designed for it. read this http://mobile.jlaudio.com/support_pages.php?page_id=150 |
|
Bronze Member Username: DoofdoofAustralia Post Number: 28 Registered: Mar-07 | thanx rob...but how do i wire it that way lol...i dont no nuthin about wireing |
|
Bronze Member Username: Rob1083Post Number: 71 Registered: Mar-07 | look here http://www.the12volt.com/caraudio/woofer_configurations.asp but u have to make sure you get the dual 2 ohm model u just run a piece of speaker wire from the + of one voice coil to the negative of the other voice coil. then run your remaining positive and negative out to 1 channel of your amp. by the way building the correct size ported box for that one sub will make a world of difference if you want alot of bass. i don't know about over there but in the U.S. u can buy all u need for about $27 bucks. |
|
Bronze Member Username: DoofdoofAustralia Post Number: 29 Registered: Mar-07 | yea thanx mate....ill hav a look...do you no ne sites that hav good sub-box designs?..or do i hav to get the sub first?...cause if i do end up makin a box i will make a 15" i think lol...probly make things harder again...but yea...wat would you rather or recommend?.. |
|
Bronze Member Username: Rob1083Post Number: 74 Registered: Mar-07 | how much space u got for a box? |
|
Bronze Member Username: Rob1083Post Number: 75 Registered: Mar-07 | if u wanted to go with a 15 same sub not much more $ just wire it the same way but bridge the two channels to power it. |
|
Bronze Member Username: DoofdoofAustralia Post Number: 31 Registered: Mar-07 | ummmm about 1m wide...30-60cm deep + or -... about the same in hight....i think lol...not much room its a small boot...the car is a mazda 323 protege 1994-5 model...ne way not much space |
|
Bronze Member Username: DoofdoofAustralia Post Number: 32 Registered: Mar-07 | can i bridge my amp..i spose u dont no lol but yea when u can bridge amps isnt the amp called a bridgable 1 lol...and it dont say on myn thats its bridgable...how do i properly bridge it ne wayz....DMN theres some bridges in this paragraph...lol |
|
Bronze Member Username: Rob1083Post Number: 80 Registered: Mar-07 | without the owners manual it's hard to tell if your amp is bridgeable and the correct way to bridge it. but from what it sound like u would probably be better off going with a 12 and giving it the right size ported box. based on your trunk size. u never did specify what u are going for a loud setup or just some good sounding bass. that would be helpful |
|
Bronze Member Username: DoofdoofAustralia Post Number: 34 Registered: Mar-07 | loud setup sounds good but wat do you really mean? |
|
Bronze Member Username: Rob1083Post Number: 82 Registered: Mar-07 | loud like the bass tingles your ears and vibrates through u |
|
Bronze Member Username: DoofdoofAustralia Post Number: 37 Registered: Mar-07 | yea i love that..nice n thumpin |
|
Bronze Member Username: Rob1083Post Number: 84 Registered: Mar-07 | then i would go w/ that setup. the cvr 12. it would really help if u could find out the specs for your amp. but that cvr 12 with a ported box built to the specs in the manual will sound nice 4 the money. the box makes a big difference u should read up on that jl link i sent u earlier theres a lot of good info. for u there.just try and give the sub 300 rms in that box.keep askin around b4 u make any decisions some of these guys know alot so do a little research and i'm sure you'll get what ur looking for. |
|
