    2 12's ported vs 2 15's sealed

    The subs in question at this point are the Rockford p3 12 and the JBL gto 15. The Rockford would be in a box tuned to 37hz and the jbl in a sealed box. The only reason I am leaning towards the 15 at this point is that the listed sensitivity on the jbl's is 93 Db and the Rockford is only 86 Db.

    2 12's ported vs 2 15's sealed

    Yeah I know but I don't have the space to go ported for those. But if I had to do one of the two listed, which would be louder?

    2 12's ported vs 2 15's sealed

    If the same type of sub were for to it's own custom box, which would be louder/boomier: 2 12" subs in a ported box or 2 15" in a sealed box. Subs in question: Rockford p3

    Ported box for camaro

    I am looking into buying a ported sub box for my 2014 camaro. I have 2 12" rockford p3 subs and a hifonics 1200 watt amp. I've only found one ported enclosure that is for 2 12's and can actually fit in my trunk. Unfortunately the asking price for the box is $265, so it should be more cost...

    Amplifier tuning question

    I have a hifonics brx1600.1d mono amplifier and just got 2 new pioneer champion series pro 10" subs. I had to buy new subs because I overpowered my jl w3's with this same amp. The specs for the subs are 800 watts rms, and it can either be 1 or 4 ohms (DVC). If I wire them to 1 ohm, then they...

    What upgrades are needed?

    Could the headunit not be supplying enough power to the amp because I'm using a stock HU but have an amp running at 1200 watts rms?

    What upgrades are needed?

    Nothing has changed, I got the new amp and had the audio shop do whatever they did when they installed it. But I want to run around 1000 watts rms total. I have a boston 9 speaker system that's like 245 watts. Do I need a line driver or something to help? Could the low power stock system not be...

    What upgrades are needed?

    Do u know what could have possibly caused them to be quieter though, because that's what I really want to know? I know it should be a lot louder because i multiplied my power output by more than 10, and it's a better quality amplifier. I know something is wrong, just not what.

    What upgrades are needed?

    This is the box: Car Audio Subwoofer Dual 10" Vented Sub Box Enclosure - 210VH It was the only one I could fit that had the specified air space needed for the jl w3 subs. I also have a sealed box specially built to fit the camaro, also with the needed airspace for the sub. Wiring: I let the...

    What upgrades are needed?

    Could they be out of phase somehow or is the amp not being powered or what?

    What upgrades are needed?

    I have a 2010 camaro that came with the boston acoustics 9 speaker system. I recently got two jl w3 subs in a ported box that has 1.22 cu ft per sub. I am using a powerful amp (hifonics brx1600.1d) that puts out about 1200 watts rms x1. This amp was an upgrade from my last lanzar VCT 2010...

    Subs burnt up

    Well the subs are done, so does anyone have any suggestions of what I should replace them with? I have a ported box with 1.22 cubic feet per sub, and a mono amp running 1200 watts rms x1 channel.

    Subs burnt up

    That may have been it then because I didn't upgrade my electrical system

    Subs burnt up

    I switched amps from a lanzar 800 watt amplifier that was under powering my subs significantly- (really only about 70 watts rms) to a hifonics brx1600.1d. The new amplifier was putting out about 900 watts total to each sub (jl w3). It says that they can handle 300-500 watts rms a piece, so I...

    Subs burnt up

    I recently got a new amplifier installed and within three hours of getting it, my subs stopped working, and when I opened my trunk, smoke was coming out. It was running below their power rating and they weren't playing any louder than usual, so what could be the cause of them breaking?
