Can anyone identify this Memphis sub?

[Ridinhi 5,000+ posts]

Just picked it up local for $10.00. Sub is in great shape for its age. 15" single 4ohm is all I know. Im thinkn its from the era when Memphis was Fultron. Anyways, what I would like to know is what size ported enclosure should I build for it. Wanna go as big as possible to get the most low end. Also, im sure it will not need much power at all. Going in my suburban to fill in the low end. I know i wont be gettin loud with this sub,just want to build a box thats would maximize effeciency. Not even sure whats it rated power wise. Any help would be appreciated.

Think I may just seal it in 3 cubes and see how that works

Do 3.5ft^3 tuned to 32hz and bridge a 2 channel to it for about 300 watts, should be plenty.

nice snag, $10 is a steal for any decent, working woofer.

Cool, thanks man. And yeah, sub is real nice cosmetically and functionally. Especially for $10.00

They still sell those same subs at a store around here, if I'm not mistaken it'sa 4 ohm Dual Voice Coil sub, and I thinks it maybe be rated around 700 watts.

You are correct on the 4ohm part but I personally dont think that this thing is rated at 700watts. And thats single 4ohm coil at that.

I think I know what sub you're talking about...same looking surround, but different sub.

Seriously though OP, if you don't have an amp for it, you can probably find some 2 channel on craigslist for $20-40 that'll do the job.

thats what imma do, find a 2 channel thats around 250-300watts bridged and try it out in 2.5-3 cubes sealed first,then may go for the 3.5@32hz as you suggested.
