help choosing a sub for a kicker kx2500.1 mono amp

[Jeffdachef 5,000+ posts]

ok so i get new sub/subs 12" re or ssx 15" or one 18" and keep the kx850.4 for mids and highs

neither of those options oher than keeping the 850.4. Only shop for subs when you know your max dimensions. You buy subs based on how much cubic feet of airspace you have, not what you feel like it would work.

So before discussing anything. PULL OUT A TAPE MEASURE AND GET THE Depth x Width x Height

As i said earlier, we are not getting anywhere unless you measure your cargo area. IF you want answers, dont disregard are requests. Without knowing how much airspace you have, you cant really choose the best subwoofer for your setup because you will either not have enough airspace OR you could have gone bigger to maximize the airspace.

Not gonna respond anymore unless i see some Measurements on your end bud.

Sorry I guess didn't see that earlier, OKAY cool we got something to work with

out of those choices on that site, i'd do two RE SXX 18s D2 and wire them series to get a 2 ohm load.

You can definitely make two 18s work

Here is a sample box design It'll be bottom slot port.

i think it might cost alot maybe half that size so i tried this

what size box do you suggest for the kicker l7's i wired the kicker compvr 12" and the l7's i 4 dvc 4 ohm wired them to 2ohms final load and they slam! just what i wanted i think there getting a lil underpowered like 800w under rms but its perfect

 

[jmonium]

ok so im going to get the 18's ill let you know the progress

 

[jmonium]

i used a 3/4 inch mdf for the sub instead of sheetrock screwd i used 1/4" bolts with countersunk bottoms and washers so it would screw to the box flush
