im wondering if ill be able to fit a ported for 2 13w6v2 in my trunk of my cadillac cts 08. and still have like at least a foot and half of space i would like to find the deminsions of my trunk but im in a horrible prison they call afganistan Ive been here for almost 7 months with 5 more to go. And all i got is u guys and my wife to chat with and unfortunetly she doesnt know anything about car audio lol. Infact she hates it. I got to get her a suv or van when i get back to put my 2 kids in so that i can get this set up. so the suv can be the family car and my cadillac can be mine all mine
I can't see the pics rite meow, but u should have no prob putting 2 ported 12s in a caddy trunk, cts or anything for that matter. Have u bought the JLs yet? Or r u just stuck on them and stubborn? Cuz I can completely understand that
no I purchased 2 13W6v2 allready from sonics with a 3 year warrenty with the amp hd1200 from sonics now im designing the wiring cables the best of the best im also putting hid lights and i want the elicrical system to be good so i dont want to look like strob light riding down the street lol. but i drive a cadillac and they dont act right with none of the aftermarket stuff that car is beatiful but its worse then foreign cars to be american. Ive owned 3 of them so far there just too good looking. i remember i tryed taking out the 10' factory sub to let air pass through my cabin and as soon as i disconnected that sub the break lights stoped working. but yes i already got the subs when i get back im getting a box built for them.
It's seeing little traffic these days, car audio is neither a widespread hobby as a while back, mainstream gear is really cheap (and sometimes cheaply made) these days.
X2. The tepid, gray, ignorant masses prefer convenience.
But anywayz, good looking car man!
I'm just giving you something to read and respond to at this point, OOOO and i JUST realized you totally hijacked this thread. but it's OK. I'm not mad. What brand amp is the hd1200?? What motor that general got under the hood?
All four of the amps you just listed are very good. The HD1200 is among the best sub amps in that power class, and the price reflects that. You have a nice sub and a great amp, so what you need to concern yourself with is treating that trunk lid. It will rattle like a stanky old tuna can if you let it. A 50 cu. ft. roll of FatMat will do the trick. And since those Caddy lids are sometimes so thin, you might wanna look into some MLV as well.
1st sub box pic= too narrow port= whistling noise 2nd pic looks prefabbed= get that sht out my face 3rd pic is pretty cool IMO
Good boxes are WELL thought-out and planned. They typically use 3/4" or 1" MDF, with appropriate bracing and plenty of coarse-thread drywall screws (pilot drilled) and wood glue for joints, silicone for inside edge of joint. double baffle, recessed sub, quick-connect terminals, and cosmetic designs and/or protection from the elements to taste.
ports on the first box might've been alright, although they should have been kerfed. It's hard to tell with no reference for dimensions. No way to tell what size anything actually is.
second box, you can't really see enough of it to tell anything for certain.
i like the third one is my favorit although i was thinking about doing a grean one and doing an incredible hulk theme that would be cool i believe amp rack i would like to do an iron man theme
this is where personal taste and preference comes into play. I prefer a more concealed, cleaner looking install that's more elegant and tidy looking. Flashy colors and neon lights that scream "llok at me" I leave to the kids. I'm more interested in how it sounds, than how flashy it looks.
VERY TRUE GLASSWOLF you have convinced me to change my mind on it. i too well go for a clean concealed finish 'i just cant find the amp that i want to use i want to buy from woofersetc but i dont know anymore
yeah but nobody else sells the 1000/1v2 so i have to go with woofersetc im going to take a chance and buy from them before i can never find that amp anywere lol im fucked if anything is wrong with that amp ill go to there warehouse and demand a refund or swap what do you think about the JLHD1200 IS UP THERE WITH THE 1000/1v2
