New member Username: EspritPost Number: 6 Registered: Jun-08 | I had a setup using a 12" Audiobahn 1208Q subwoofer. Now I know Audiobahn subs are garbage, I made the mistake of buying one to save money. It blew. It was rated at 1500rms. So I bought a 1200watt monoblock amp to power it (Audioque 1200). Now I want to replace it with a Rockford T212D2 and run it at 1ohm so I get the most power out of my amp. Any suggestions? other subs I should go with? My box was built for the 12\" Audiobahn. Is the rockford going to sound bad if I dont change the box? Help me out! |

New member Username: EspritPost Number: 7 Registered: Jun-08 | The box I have was built to these specs: Air Space Cubic Feet 2.3 Port Size (Inches) 4 x 7.25 Port Vel. (%) 22.61 -3dB (Hz) 32.5 Tune Freq. (Hz) 38 Sub Disp. (Cu. Ft.) 0.27 Port Disp.(Cu. Ft.) 0.047 Total Vol. (Cu. Ft.) 2.5 The rockford is $600CDN Im willing to spend that much on one 12" sub. But I need a sub that can be wired to 1ohm. My amp is here: http://www.audioque.com/aq/AQamps.htm |
