[KidThump 10+ year member]

2 dual 4s can be wired to 1,4 ohm......

and type rs hat esealed boxs if i was you i would go with a 5cf ported tuned to 35hz

well i was looking around for some enclosures for my subs. Im thinking about http://cgi.ebay.com/DUAL-12-CUSTOM-PORTED-SUB-BOX-ENCLOSURE-4-0FT-3-32Hz_W0QQitemZ170156597290QQihZ007QQcategoryZ50566QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

i would build my own but my knowledge in that field is none. I called around shops and they said that they can build me a custom box but it would be around 200 or so. so what do u guys think about that box?

 

[KidThump 10+ year member]

Im sure that box will way better than what u got

first thing im going to do is change my headunit because im starting to hate it. ill probably be getting a cda9887 or deh-p9800 not too sure yet still doin some research on them and shoppin around for prices. kurtdirt1, wow ur shit slaps. lol thats how i want my setup to sound like

you might be running the subs at 8 ohms which wont create much of a draw on that amp also if you have them in a crappy box. If you want them to pound loud your gonna need a good ported box and I along with everyone else on this forum will recomend you not to go with a prefab specially a bestbuy box. Good luck and hope that helps a bit. If you need to know how to rewire the subs correctly go to Rockfordfosgate.coma nd they have a wiring wizard that will help alot for beginners. I think the one issue you are going to run into though is that you will need a new 1 ohm stable amp.

wait if i followed the rf diagrams (2 DVC @ 4ohm each = 4 ohm load) than how can i be running it at 8hm? i dont get it. sorry

well i just changed my headunit. i had a pioneer deh-3600 layin around so i installed that and my system is 10x louder now with the 2 12's. i will read up on enclosure building and build my own box. but for now im savin up for a new cd player. i still have to tune my pdx and lpf. currently the gain is about half way and the lpf is at about 100, thanks everyone for ur help.

As said many times you cannot possibly run 2 DVC 4ohm coil subs at 8ohms.

For the pdx-1.1000 wire it at 4 ohms and you'll be sweet, it's underrated and should have plenty of power. Wire the coils in series and the subs in parallel.

get a ported box. 4-5 cubes @ 32-37 hz with 2k actual power and it will be loud.

when u say wire the subs in series and parallel, i think i got that done. lol heres wat i just drew to show u how my wiring looks like.

or shall i just do it like this?

If you're down for it you could drive out to Fresno to my dad's shop and we could build a box....Let me know if you're down...I'm a reg on ROE...name on there is KurtDirt1 as well....I was actually up in Gilroy and San Martin this past saturday...
