[mjstutter12]

Hello my name is Michael and I am rebuilding my dads box for his truck.

I am also giving him my old amp mate to his amp

His current setup is 2 12 crunch gpv ground pounders >boo

My idea for his box is 2 10s sealed and 1 12 ported in f350 crew cab

2 2000watt crunch 1ch amps.

so far power acustik gothic series 170$ is the only idea iv got 200$ is my budget on subs.

I hope you mean 2 10's or 1 12.

Nope 2 10s on 1 amp 1 dual 2 12 on other amp should be fun....

 

[mjstutter12]

I did final mesurements 7in top mount deapth 1.2cu on 12 and 1.1cu on 10s and ideas

Gonna have phase issues by mixing subs. You'd be doing yourself a favor by just using either a pair of 10s or 12s and call it a day

 

[mjstutter12]

phase is not a big deal for me to get right and he will not just go 10s and his current 12s are rubing but in the middle they dont rub still power acustik is only idea here 2000 on 2 10s 2000 on 1 12

Out of phase = less loud. Why waste your money?

Hate to break it to you but PA stuff is overrated as hell

 

[mjstutter12]

Thats why I am asking for different ideas and im certain the amp is way over rated as well

You come here asking for advice but won't take any of it. Even the most common basic tips such as DO NOT MIX SUBWOOFERS.

Honestly an Sa 12 in a 1.7-2.0 cu ft box @ 32-35hz on 600-1000w would probably do the trick...

you can get 2 Soundqubed hds2-12s for $200 shipped but i would only run those 2 and not mix the subs. But its your build

 

[mjstutter12]

Mixing subs you mean 10 and 12 correct 3 10s would make me happy

not looking to buy new amps and hes stuck on 2 2000 watt amps

three 10's would definitely be a better option than mixing 10/12.

However - with 3 subs you're almost required to use a mono amp as you're going to end up at either 2.7 or 1.3 ohms. Two cheap 2ch's won't match up well at all.

Sounds like your pops is lost in the 80's.

Ol' dude's gotta get with the program.

they are 1 ohm stable mono amps and iv been looking at my box 3 10s/3 12s/or 4 10s.. its a 4 door f350 and there front firing...what will work the best in that setup

Go with the 4 10's...2 on each amp at 1 ohm. Using 3 won't work well unless you can strap those amps and run them at 2.7. Or do just 2 10's/12's, one on each amp.
