Can u run one 12 in 2 12 box and remove blown one?

[nate1017]

Have 2 12's on a 1200SAE Sundown amp. One 12 gave out on me the other evening, so could i remove the blown one and rewire the 1 sub to run the 1 12? Or would i have to close the other subs hole somehow?

Ah I wouldn't if I were you but if it's something your determined to do leave the blown one in or plug that hole... And reduce power... If you can aim for half what the subs rated for to help prevent from bottoming your sub due to the fact your enclosure will be close to twice as large as it should be and more likely have way to much port area unless it's a prefab but you'll still want to wire up ohms

That's still 7 cubes.

Is this box sealed or ported? And as others have asked, are there two separate chambers or is it one big one?

Stuff some cut 2x4s in there, leave the blown sub in just unhook it.

Has one big port hole in center of 2 subs, wana say 5 inches. Each sub has their own little chamber that meets in back of box. I need to grab plans off other computer it would be so much easier than explaining
