Be sure to use 1" wood. Those subs together are going to way a ton and be moving a lot of air. Bracing is also going to be important. I'd say just make you a slot ported enclosure, tuned at 32 Hz. Save yourself some trouble. Any idea on what amp you're going to be running to them? A sundown 3000D would be sweet on em
@ lowlife its going into my ford F-100 its a 82 , sry glass wolf i`ll stop doing dat , can u help me out glasswolf. @ shawn what do u mean slack on the amp? dat is a 847 dollar amp @ cost i get my things at whosale , so idk how i am slacking on the amp
its just hifonics amps usually have high distortion rates and its easier to clip them and damage your subwoofer theres many other amps you could buy that would be cheaper and sound better than the hifonics, 847 doesnt seem like a wholesale price. check out a rockford fosgate t2000.1 an alpine mrp-2000 a sundown saz-2000d audioque 2200d theres many many more that could do better and all of the amps i suggested are much less than 800 brand new
you dont want to push more than 2000 to those subs, you can do a little more but i wouldnt suggest more than 2500 if your using it daily, i would actually stick to around 2000 daily. a blow through in your truck will require many hours of work, if you feel you are skilled enough to do that go for it, i cant really give too much advice how to do that as i never have. but if you decide to go slot ported your truck will be pounding hard with those subs and sound good, plus the cost,time, and effort will be much less to get about the same sound
THD or distortion has several ways it can be measured, and this figure is used to impress people who shop by comparing numbers instead of really understanding what makes a good amplifier (not saying HiFonics is great.) Don't pay attention to THD figures, because due to the number of ways THD can be measured, the figures really are meaningless. Also, you can't hear distortion below 1% anyway, and in cars on a sub? typically not below 10%.
If the amp is easy to clip, that would indicate either the gain is set improperly, or the amp has a weak power supply that doesn't have much in the way of headroom or reserve power, so in peak demands at minimum load on the amp, there's nothing in reserve to feed the amp from it's power supply when it gets hit with a sudden bass hit that needs a big blast of power to avoid clipping. HiFonics for a long time used unregulated power supplies, and rated their amplifier outputs at 16VDC, which meant a significant drop in output when you used the amp in a 12 volt car electrical system. That's why they got a bad reputation.
