Sundown E10 calls for 1^3 ported

not understanding what you mean

Yea he means 1 cubic ft.. You know if you get the single 4 ohm version instead of the DVC version for the 10" Dayton HO, it can work as small as .7 cubic ft each ported so it would be perfect for the 1.5 cu ft net airspace that you're looking for. Two of them would turn out to be a 2 ohm load so you gotta find an amp that will do atleast 1200w @ 2 ohm.

ok I wonder if he was talking about the D2's or D4s and that is 1 cubic ft per sub right? I believe the 2s are dual 2 ohms and the 4s are dual 4 ohms. The D4's are what I would want so just wanted to clear that up in regards to the 1 cubic ft.

Yes I will now research the amps of choice and look for amps that can put out 1200 @ 2 ohms and see what the pricing looks like. Not sure I will go that route or not though so will just have to see.

I know you can't tell a whole lot about a system on youtube especially listening to it on a laptop lol but some of the single speakers did sound pretty good. Just not sure I want to have just one sub be it an 8 or 10 or 12. Two just seems so much more right lol. I guess if I had some guys around here to let me listen to theirs I can be convinced and therefore probably go with one speaker and save space and weight but not sure man, not sure //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

If you're trying to go as small as possible, go with one sub. It might or might not be enough for you depending on how much of a basshead you are/ or will become. Going with 2 subs basically gives you an advantage in cone area so it can potentially be louder with less effort than 1 sub. If you put them through one port instead of two, even better. More efficient. On the other hand you can also get an 8" sub and make a super efficient box like a T-line or a folded horn design but it would require a huge box so it might not be for you. 1.5 cu ft is a puny requirement though and should give you the bump you need without sacrificing all your trunk space. If you don't care about being loud at all then just get one 12" and be done with it.

@nyg052003; if you really wanna save weight, use birch wood for the box. It's strong and sooo friggin' light that it will for sure move around in your trunk when you drive. hit up @CSCStang if you're interested in a custom box shipped to you. very experienced and very affordable as well.

Dayton HO 10s are small ported box monsters. I believe optimal is around .7cf net for them on rated rms.

actually talked to him and he and one other guy I was going to decide to let build my box. More than likely cscstang as I've had more conversations though no disrespect to the other guy I was referred to as I'm confident either will do a great job.

Man that Sundown Audio E looks good............., what are the specs on the D4s again ?

Sticking a sticker on the Dayton's , the sticker might not stay on lol

then again If I'm going with an amp rated with 1200-1500 @ 1 ohm I would have to go with the Sundown D4 dual 4 ohms and that speaker would require a larger box than the recommended E series Jeffdachef originally recommened when I first came to the forum. So I have a lot of thinking to do. Unless I go with an amp yes capable of that power @ 2 ohms

 

[nyg052003]

or I can go with one 10 now with the half the size of the box would be for 2 10's and if I love the way that one sound, I won't need another. If not, I can have another identical box built and put another 10 in there. Only thing is the box will be separates so would that be different than a tuned and ported box that holds 2 subs? Would a ported and tuned box even have a divider?

also if I went with the 1200 W or 1500 w amp, if I had it at mono at 1200 or 1500, could I just turn the amp wayyyyyyyyyy down for that one 10? And yes meaning adjusting the gain for that one speaker so it won't clip or distort.

 

[nyg052003]

My homeboy just sent me a link to the Creshendos. I think I need to add those amps to my list too.

 

[nyg052003]

Buy sundown sticker and stick it on the dust cap. Boom. Done.

I guess I can go to a place that makes signs and let them make me some Dayton Audio stickers/decals to fit the dust cap. Will call around tommorow
