bp1200.1 on a XXX18

[alum10 10+ year member]

Im pretty sure 1200 rms is enough for a xxx. Cause ive seen em reach xmax at 900 rms. I was wondering is this amp will do the job on a bp1200.1 because this is the amp i have now. I have an 18 inch XXX.

If not what the hell do i do?

Um if you have them both hook them up.

Yo, your sig is CRAZY. how do you do that.

.

so a Bp1200.1 should be fine.

I havent hooked it up cause i havent built the enclosure yet

It really all depends on the box. I don't know the requirements of the 18" so I can't really help you with it. Some one will come along and know what size box they need.

But yeah it should be fine.

Im gonna build a 11 cubic feet enclosure. Tuning frequency is an unkown yet. I **** with the ports

Wow that is huge. You know the JBL has no subsonic filter. That might be a problem ported. Oh and port it to 27-32hz.

another issue i think i might have is if the amp is 1 ohm stable. I'll just go for it anyways. I was thinking tuning it to 28.

what do i do about the sub sonic filter

It will be fine @ 1ohm. You can buy a seperate SS filter. Do a search on http://www.google.com

That would be a good tunning frequency. Will get hella low and sound awsome. Please don't forget to brace

alot of those amps had issues at 1 ohm. some were fine though. Id give the XXX more power and use a smaller box personally.

dont push it too hard @ 1 ohm or you will have a problem like i did with my magnum. it took it fine for a little while then took a sh*t on me. i'd look into a more solid amp that is dedicated to run @ 1 ohm personally.

1200, i'd give it a lil more than that, sound excellent in the 1500, hooking up my XXX this weekend will be giving it about 1500-1600 with my 1501d, but i'm thinkin of getting a nine.1 amp or a BEtter audio 36.1 amp......

**** it, so there is a huge risk of something goin wrong.

Smaller box. the smallest i'd go is 10 cubes although ive seen the 18 in a 6 cu box ported and a 4 cu box sealed.

What amp should i get.

The hifonics 1500 has been gettin bad feed back. and i dont have much money to spend

 

[Moe Lester 10+ year member]

it doesnt need 10 cubes to sound good... why do you want such a huge box?

Its turns into a monster when the box size hits double digits.

I have space so why not utilize it.

Well, give me suggestions.

On box size and affordable AMPS
