Infinity Kappa perfect 10.1DVQ

[bdawson72]

How do i find out what size box i should put these subs in?

[flakko]

manual.

since you have a vq, anything lol

[bdawson72]

i have tha manual.........call me a fvcking idiot but tha whole Variable Q thing is gettin 2 me

[bdawson72]

my guess is that its tha compliance volume

[flakko]

yea depending on the size of the enclosure, you use the Q insert to customize the sub to perform best in the certain enclosure you have. pretty cool

[bdawson72]

it is.............i think its like 1.32ft^3

[flakko]

sure! haha i had myne in a 1.44 cubic foot sealed box and it slammed

[negativezeroz]

I had my 12VQ in 2.25 tuned to 28Hz and it slammed :) So id go for lik 1.75 tuned to around 28-32Hz.


Hold on....you say its a 10.1DVQ....Ok is it the 10DVQ or the 10.1D? Theres a big difference in subs there....

[bdawson72]

Its the DVQ

[negativezeroz]

well id make it like 1.75cf tuned to around 28Hz with the mid Q insert in

just got here: http://manuals.harman.com/INF/CAR/Owner%27s%20Manual/Perfect%20VQ%20OM%20FINAL%20(Revised%2012-2-02).pdf

[bdawson72]

I think its gonna be a lil smaller than that................around 1.2 ft^3 because its in a custom truck box...99 Regular Cab Ranger=tiny a$$ cab

[negativezeroz]

then go sealed.. give it 350-450WRMS

[bdawson72]

yea thats what i was gonna do.............what Q piece would i use

[negativezeroz]

How big sealed? Roughly..

[bdawson72]

between 1 ft^3 and 1.2 ft^3

[negativezeroz]

Alright well Infinity recommends running the 10DVQ/VQ in ~1-1.2cf sealed WITHOUT an insert but if I were you id just make the box as big as you can (1.2cf) and try the different inserts....the low insert seems to have the smoothest response and the mid/high seems to have a peak...

[flakko]

it should say on the manual.

and dont give that sub too much pwr... they go boom like so lol

edit wait leme rephrase: snapped a tinsel

[bdawson72]

[bdawson72]

Since i really didnt have too much help on the AMPS forum..........what kind of amp were you running? and what amps would you suggest?

how much do you have to spend? oh yea i did have a vq.

[bdawson72]

600 Tops

[negativezeroz]

mine blew at 420 lol

edit wait leme rephrase: snapped a tinsel

You bad bad person. :p: How'd that happen? I had mine in 2.25cf tuned to 28Hz so seems liek I woulda damaged mine before yours...what amp did you run it with?My VQ still pounds away in my friends Mazda3.


600 Tops How many DVQ's do you have?

[bdawson72]

2 DVQ's

[flakko]

neg... i think i clipped the amp lol dunno i was bad i know i need to be spanked

so your gonna need around 800w? A usamps MD22 will be perfect for you. I had one running a couple of JLw6v2's 400w each and currently my RLP 800w POUNDS.

edit: the amp was a profile CA600M mighty fine amp i must say.

That'd be perfect....(@ 4 ohm) Still looking for others so give me a minute..

if you could get an Orion 8002....400W x 2 @ 2ohm...just wire each DVQ to 2ohm and you're good to go :)

^^^
out of there: IS 2450, MD22, MD1 :)

[bdawson72]

I was really lookin into those.......what about a Rockford Fosgate P8002

[flakko]

http://www.millionbuy.com/rocp8002.html

that one? no. lol punches = no good/below mediocre

http://www.millionbuy.com/roct8002.html

that would be little better

[bdawson72]

i think i might go with the JBL if i can find a good price on it

[bdawson72]

whats the diff between tha JBL GTO1201.1 ll and tha JBL GTO1201.1

[negativezeroz]

the 1201.1 II is the continuation of the 1201.1. ITs like the "second run" of the amp if that makes sense as in those new GTO's came out last year or a lil before and the version "II" are just the newer ones...same amp... I have a 601.1

[bdawson72]

Ok.....I thought that there was supposed 2 be something different about them or something........i think my box is gonna be .8cu ft

[bdawson72]

im guessing that the high Q pole piece will be used

[flakko]

yup! whatever the manual says.

[bdawson72]

uve said that 2 me b4

[flakko]

yup! whatever the manual says.

[bdawson72]

ok......mission accomplised message delivered

[flakko]

yup! whatever the manual says.


haha im just kidding. tell us how it sounds when your done

[bdawson72]

OK......I will

Ur an idiot............lol

[bdawson72]

i eneded up with i Hifonics bx1205D........it might not beee the best amp but its probobly the one of the best amps that i could find that happened to be resonably priced................Im still Gettin tha JBL or a merlin tho
4sho!

[negativezeroz]

So you bought a BX1205D and you are also getting the Merlin or JBL? :confused: Why not just save money and buy only the JBL or Merlin and call it a day?
