I don't yet know for sure If I should go with a pair of 12"s sealed or a pair of 10"s ported. I can get the 12"s in exactly the 1.2 cube box each which they are reccomended to run sealed at, or I can run the 10's with a port in about 1 cube after the port and woofer displacement are factored in. For the port I was figuring 1"x15.5x 28" deep. Which would put me around 30-33Hz correct?
BTW, I'm going to run them with a ZRS Cadence 7000D at 1ohm. I have pleanty of power available not planning to use it all though.
The DCONs will be a great SQL driver. Going sealed is going to help them maintain great SQ but they'll still get plenty low and loud. Especially on good, clean power. I'd say go with the 2 12's sealed, I think you'll be happy with them. What will these be going in?
The 10s may peak a little louder at the enclosure's tuned frequency but the 2 12s are going to give you more cone area. More cone area will help achieve more SQL.
Ok, I think I will order a pair of 12's tomorrow then. I don't like trying to squeeze the ported box for the 10"s down to fit what I am willing to give up for space. (Trying to keep 24"s from the box to the tailgate for hauling things.
I'm planning to have them face the tailgate, but I could face them to the rear of my back seat, though they'd be very close to the seat Maybe 1-2 inches from it. I don't know what that would do to the sound, but it would keep them out of the sunlight and away from sharp cargo. Any thoughts on this?
