My friend has this sub and needs a box. They recommend a tiny box, why is that? Do you guys think thats a good idea? Most boxes for 18's are in 6 to 8 cube boxes correct? https://www.skaraudio.com/products/sdr-18-inch-car-subwoofer Recommended Ported Volume: 4.60 ft³

This might help, I have a Hyundai Tiburon (hatchback) with 2 12's in a large ported box aiming at the trunk on 3,000 rms. I got two 4 channel amps that are 400RMS total each with pro audio PRV speakers and I think it's fairly matched treble to bass ratio. Honestly on heavy bass songs, I wish the...

Sounds to me like u already know your answer. I've never heard the NKO's but I own 2 12" DKI's, and I don't believe you can buy a better sub for the money. It could even cost way more and I'd still buy it. I do love the cheap price though haha it's a steal. So I believe the NKO's would be the...

Yeah well that just seems silly. I bet the 15" icon is only $40 more than the 12". What is $40? Its nothing lol but if its that important, definitely go with the Fi Ssd. Itd be silly to get 12" over a 15" if you have the room for the 15"

Why are you comparing a 12" vs a 15"? Get a 15" icon

Whatever man, l just installed my Dark audio Industries DKI's and they slam. Sound just as good as the XCON's. Was surprised honestly. Since people say the XCON's have great sound quality. XCON's do sound great but these new subs sound just as good im pretty sure, its crazy. And i really think...

They were both same distance from port. And u meant below the boxes tuning? I dont play screwed or rebassed music so idk

Where did you get that box? Do you know the specs? Internal volume and tuning? And yes if a sub has 1500 rms, you can still clip the amplifiers signal even if its only a 900 rms amp. Yes go with more power first and keep the subs i would say. Ive never heard type-x subs but i love alpine...

Also you're looking for more spl? You want it to be louder? What kind of box do you currently have? Sealed or ported? Got any pics? Also don't get a capacitor

So clipping occurs when you turn the volume up too high. Sound waves are parabolas. Check this picture for reference. A clean signal is round on the top and bottom. However when you turn up the signal too high for the amplifier with volume, gain, or bass boost, the signal will flatten out on...

My box was right in the recommended enclosure specs, so was not extra big. Well guess I just had shitty luck then, I didn't set anything wrong. And if I did both subs would have ended up with the same problem because both subs are in the same single chamber box and they're both on the same mono...

Yeah the sub enclosure aka sub box is the most important thing. Your box volume is too small and its tuned too high with too thin of wood. A new box would make a huge difference. Look how large my box for two 12s is. You'll need something like this. A box is not too hard to build if you have a...

You're saying rebuild a box and get recones? Btw they already had 5 progressive spiders  Anybody got any other sub recommendations?

I wrote that the box is 4.6 cubes tuned to 33 hz, should have worked fine. From what I remember from the box recommendations when these subs were available my box was almost perfect, just low on port area probably. 50 square inches of port. 12.5"x4". I had an issue with the sub on the left...

Have two SSA XCON 12's and have had many problems. One started making a rattling noise on higher frequencies and the other one had a tinsel lead break. I soldered the tinsel back but it keeps breaking every couple months. I'm fed up with them since I set my gain perfectly. Anyways what would...
