Okay I built this box and amp rack before I purchased my truck.

It is 7.8ft NET with 88in of port area, tuned to 37hz.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

I currently only have one Dual 4ohm Type R but I have it on my Pa3000db thats rated at about 2000watts RMS at .66ohm. I have dual batteries and DOUBLE zero guage power and BIG 3.

My problem is:

It is extremley loud for one 12 i shit you not. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/yumyum.gif.0556df42231b304b9c995aefd13928a8.gif lil jon is just as loud as my friends two 15" L7's on an Orion 2500d with stock electrical in a jeep.

I have sound deadening. he has nothing.

I am just wondering wethere you guys think i should put ONE OR TWO SUBS IN THERE.

IF I JUST GOT 1 MORE I AM PRETTY SURE IT WOULD BE LOUDER THAN HAVING 3- WHAT DO YOU THINK?

I know tmy amp could do .66ohm NOMINAL before impedance rise... But would it be louder than two in 3.8ft each tuned to 37 or 2.6 each with 3???

IS it worth 130 per sub?

TWO RS OR THREE???vote now!

All 3 in that ****er! You can always take one out and sell it.

 

[amartin_72]

Right , ill convince this kid to let me use his R's

I built him a box (2.5 each at 34hz ) for his camry to replace his prefab 1.25each at 40hz box(which is for sale-could be a good box for 8's or 10's) for 50$ ill make him let me borrow his subs for a day //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

FYI i have the sub holes blocked off now , and sealed up, but with one of them out - tuned to like 70hz, it is LOUD AT 70HZ HOLY ****. But i have it sealed up so 1 in 7.8ft at 37hz.

and the first 20 mins i ever had it hooked up the cops were at my house i didnt even realize the neighbors could hear this 1 12 from over a mile away. I want to get it metered haha.

if u have 1 12 in 7.8cubes with 88square inches of port its not going to be tuned to 37hz..if its tuned to 37hz with 3 of them in there chances are when u use 1 sub the tuning is going to be lower.....thats if u have seperate chambers..which i doubt

80

over a mile...lol yea right..could it be they was down the block or near by ...lol:crazy:

BS flag on me! No way, I know what your thinking and i didnt realize how you guys would take it but heres what happened.

I had the neightbors to the left of my house, in the country, already pissed off frm my friends 15" L7's (pair on a 2500d). She politley came over last summer and asked us to keep it down and claimed it scared her horses. So when I had gotten my Type-R in, I hooked up my PA3000DB for the first time and didnt want to piss off the neighbor to the left of me again so i decided to get farther away from their house and drive down the road. Im sitting on a really really slow(

so eat my *** if you dont believe me. Maybe some time ill take pics of my driveway and the neigtbors house or soemthing. Its LOUD:crazy:

 

[amartin_72]

And this was with my windows down... if that matters. both of them- its louder, oh and even the sliding rear window im not even joking i really wanted to see how loud this thing can be, I was playing young jeezy, lil jon and late nite tip. They all have some crazy bass lines.

the type r is a good sub, quit trying to act cool.

 

[amartin_72]

Well Im sorry if you guys dont beleive the one mile part, but think of it this way do you think a TCAB box could be heard 1 mile away with the windows down with 1200wRMS on tap from the PA3000Db? I think so easily..he would hit about 143 in my truck EASILY and that can certianly be heard more than a mile away. So at what point does a person even try to compete with him with their own box building? I estimate I have now built over 200 Boxes of some sort wether HT or Cars. I still have 250$ coming for a box I just made for two R's. IDk **** my balls if you dont belive me i know how to build a box its loud eat shit.
