um nice:cool:

Why build a box speced on sony xplodes if he is just gonna turn around and get new subs that will have totally diffrent specs. Just buy a cheapo ebay prefab and save for some real subs. If you seriously wanna make these subs perform I have gotten Jensen and the Xplods to outperform baseline...

Audiobahn equipment in general is decent stuff, poor Sq but for a comp setup works out ok, for the money much better subs out there but thier baseline stuff is better than most. But then agian I have had Jensen compnets outperform baseline fosgate,kicker,JL,Audiobahn ect. Its all in the install.

Subs will perform fine in that enviroment sealed. Just a suggestion for the money you can get a couple of CMP subs for the same price and they are FAR better performers but its your choice have installed both and both like the same small sealed boxes but the CMP is by far above JL in SQ and SPL...

I dont even know if bazooka or where you can find the cooling system for the amps? But if you are gonna run 2ohms I would suggest throwing a fan on it and looking into getting the chill system.

What is your price range? What size/quanity sub do you want? What type of music do you listen too? What amp will be powering the sub? All these and we can help you find somthing quicker.

If you want but if you keep it at 4ohms it wont really need one should stay cool enough.

These are very good subs, pretty much shares a similar cone as the W7 but stucture is that of the w3v2. I have no idea why they made it a SVC no felxibility, although it does come in a single 2 ohm version which is nice but it handles the same amount rms wattage as the W3v2. All in all I have...

4 guage would be sufficent but 8 would work as well. I would not wire that sub below 4 ohms on that amp though, bazooka amps DO overheat at 2 ohms even when barley pushed but all in all is a decent upgrade and will power the w3 good. Now you need to start searching for a good prefabbed sealed box.

Dont you wanna keep your componets powered? you will achieve this will a 4/3/2 amp without having to buy two amps to both either or.

Ok take the amp back, start looking for a 4/3/2 channel amp on ebay kicker,JL audio,fosgate ect. Go to your local lowes/home depot and get a sheet of 3/4" MDF wood trust me you do not just wanna throw a box together from your old one. If you need specs and want to try and build it I can get them...

Theres no doubt sq can be had if built right but hes a newbie and I am not about to send him on a quest to try and build a 4th order bandpass. I have actully seen w7s in a 4th order and W3s not really too fond of either setup either was not done right but porting w3s IMO if you want output is...

IMO for money you CANT beat the crystal mobile sound CMP 8. 100 bucks no contest one of the best sounding SQL subs on the market if not THE BEST.

Right bandpass boxes are meant to get loud and my bet is if you got it off ebay its not properly built. Most that are not built close to the specs of the sub seem to be all over the place and very innaccurate. While it might get a lil louder than a sealed/ported box its also not near as...

Please do not torture that subwoofer by keeping it in a bandpass box! If you have the funds toss the amp and get a good amp, if you really care about keeping the whole system the same here is a good lil amp for the money its a clarion 4/3/2 channel...
