Arc Black 12.?

That's some good information, thanks mate. However I probably want to stick with a sealed enclosure to maximize boot space so I can still access my spare wheel (since Ive had two blowouts on the last 6months). It's also good to hear that the Focals can sound great in a ported enclosure

Is there anyone else on here who has had experiences with either the Arc Black 12 or the Focal 33KX? Or had both? Please tell me your experiences with these subs

Hey mate, thanks heaps for the reply. Were the Focal subs boomy after putting them in a ported enclosure? I'm still after tight and accurate bass, however I just want a bit louder and deeper...and I definitely don't want boomy

Hi Guys, I currently have the following setup in my car (sedan): Head unit: Alpine ICS-X8 Processor: ARC PS8 Fronts: Focal KRX2 comps Amp: Mosconi AS200.4 Subs: twin Focal 11" 27KX subs in an 80L custom sealed enclosure Amp: Alpine PDXM12 (birth sheet of 1346w rms) Now, the sound...

Awesome, I'll have a read. Thanks heaps

Thank you for your reply Trumpet. Can you please elaborate more on these additional treatments? Thanks heaps

They would be going in my doors. The mids sit quite low in the door, while the tweeters would go on the dash next to the windscreen. For deadening I have Focal BAM on both sections of the door to "box" the mid in Have you used this Legatia series from HAT before?

Hi Guys, What are your thoughts on the HAT Legatia series of speaker components i.e. the Stage 5 and Stage 6 SE series? And how much better are the Stage 6 SE over the Stage 5? I would be looking at getting a 2-way active setup with a pair of 7.1" mids (either L6V2 or L6SE) and a pair of...

Once again, thanks Ahmed. Is there anyone on here who has actually put their newer Type R subs in ported boxes bigger than 2.0cu ft per sub? If yes, are you happy with the results?

Thank you for clearing that up for me Ahmed. I did a bit of research and the volume of the sub (when inside the enclosure) is approx 0.33cu ft. Thanks again.

Sorry Ahmed, do you mean that the sub box would be 2.2cu ft plus the volume of the sub? So 2.5 to 3.0cu ft in total? If yes, would you know the volume of this sub off the top of your head?
