i have recently bought the 12" cvx 4dvc and the amp and i have the sub in a 2 cu ft ported box. this is my first setup and i have no idea what the limits of the sub or the amp are. so can anyone tell me how to know if im overpowering or doing something wrong. i just dont want to blow anything...

i think im going with the first one because the way it is already tuned to 32Hz for this sub. ive heard good about that prefab box building company so it should a good box. ill have to play around with it to get it to fit in the rear hatch of my firebird.

i have a single 12" cvx that i need a box for. just pawned my other box i had for my type r today and need a bigger one for the cvx. so i was looking at either a 2 cubic foot box tuned at 32Hz or a 3 cubic foot box tuned in upper 30Hz. the 2 cu ft. has a slot port designed specifically for this...

well i just ordered the 12" Kicker CVX then just found out that i could get a 12" RE Audio SE12 for the exact same price as the CVX. which one would be better?? i already have the zx750.1 amp. would that amp overpower the RE sub??also, what is the difference between the two subs?? ive always...

i just recently blew my type r. i just ordered a 12" cvx but it needs more volume than a type r. i currently have a 1.76 cu ft ported box. i was thinking about getting a 3.06 cu ft ported bandpass box from here...

I have had my type r 12" for about a month and my amp hadnt come in because i ordered it on backorder without knowing. so i got impatient and decided to hook it up to my home stereo. the home stereo puts out i think 100watts at 6ohms. but i also got the idea to hook up the positive into the...

just to make sure(since im new to car audio)i can wire the amp to the sub at 2ohms and get the full 500 watts out of it right?? like the wiring shown here: http://rockfordfosgate.com/rftech/woofer_wizard.asp?submitted=true&woofer_qty=1&woofer_imp=4

yeah im smiling ear to ear right now!! feels great. does anyone know of a ported enclosure that goes good with the type r that will fit in my firebird, im kinda limited in space since i have a hatchback.

well final orders have been made i got the Alpine SWR-1242D 12" Type-R Series Subwoofer with the Alpine MRP-M500 Class D 500 Watt Amplifier. cant wait to get the order in and set it up.

nvm the website i was looking at was out of stock for that amp... but they had a 900rms at 2ohm kenwood class d amp..KAC-9104D... will it work as well??

ok so ive got a very quick decision to make.... my dad said he will only order withing the next ten mintues(hes impatient) and i know putting a sony class d amp isnt the best quality for this sub... so instead i can get an alpine MRP-M500 class d amp. is it worth it to get the better quality amp...

ok so im about to order one right now, found one for $127 with free shipping. im getting the DVC 4ohm one so would a 600wrms amp at 2ohms be good?? im new so if i am correct a single DVC 4ohm sub has a load of 2ohms. any suggestions for a ported box that will fit inside an 01 firebird??

so ive been trying my best to come up with a nice starter system and everyone says i should go with alpine get the type r's.... well i wanted a dual setup buy i found out one type r could blow away two type e or s by miles. so i think i finally decided to go with one r in my firebird. now...

wait... forget all that i just said.... i finally figured out i dont need to bridge it because the load is already right... like i said, im pretty new to all this so im kinda slow so instead it would go like this 2 Performance teknique 12" - 500rms 1000peak at DVC 4ohm visonik 2CH amp with...

well yet again i was looking through my options to see what i could get out of my money and i ran across another route but i dont know if it will work... here it is subs are Performance Tekniques-500rms 1000 peak DVC...
